Layering is one of the most powerful techniques in sound design, allowing you to create rich, immersive audio landscapes that would be difficult to achieve with a single sound source. By blending various sounds—such as metal clanging, hydraulics, and organic impacts—you can create a more dynamic and believable sound. In this video, I break down the importance of:

🦾Tonal Layering: Combining low-end rumbles with higher-frequency sounds to give the sound more depth and dimension.

🔩Texture Layering: Using different sound textures, like squeaks, bangs, or crashes, to add complexity and realism.

🦿Dynamic Layering: Adjusting the intensity of different layers to reflect the robot's movement, weight, and impact, adding to the emotional weight of the scene.

In this tutorial, I break down how to create a dynamic footstep audio system. Unlike most tutorials I’ve seen, this approach doesn’t just mute unused audio—it activates only the required audio, making it a far more efficient way to trigger sounds in your game.
