How to create laser sound effects?

Hey everyone, I have a question for you. I am working on a project and I would really like awesome laser sound effects. I have become pretty good at taking my voice and turning it into nice sound effects, but I cannot seem to take my voice and turn it into cool laser effects.
This is what I would like to create: http://www.phstudios.com/projects/Audio/Laser.mp3
If anybody has any ideas at all on what to do, please let me know. At the very least, what can I use as the source sound for this? My voice wont make a nice source for a decent laser.
Also, I do not have this now, but will Logic Express be better for this?
Thanks!

It is a little quiet, but I am using this for a game so there will be other sounds going on at the same time.
Sounds great. You could always add a bit more reverb, so it drifts off more - or leave as is. Frankly, I think it sounds fine. With all due respect to the lightsaber, the gold standard for the sound of light slashing through space, in reality, lasers don't really make any noise (do they?), so you can really do whatever you want. No one can say "that's not what lasers sound like" because light has no mass, sound, or bitter aftertaste.
This is good for now. I will get Logic Express if you think it will help at least a little bit? I just dont want to spend $200 on it and not like it any better.
If all you're trying to do is make a single sound, it's not worth getting Logic for. Also, Logic is a workstation, not an instrument, although it comes with instruments. So, in terms of creating things like laser sounds, I'd think it's less about all the control Logic gives you (although there is that), than it is about working with a really versatile virtual instrument, like the things NI puts out, or Omnisphere, or something along those lines and really versatile effects.
But that's if you really want to get into it and work on sound effects and music beyond this particular laser. Which maybe you do.
But if it's all about this laser, I'd just do what you're doing, or if you were going to purchase something, I'd look for a sound library (e.g. http://www.cycling74.com/products/cycles), find the sound you're looking for, and then tweak it.
But... I wouldn't get Logic just to gussy up that one sound.
Good luck with T.D.!

How to use custom sound effects

One of the few good things one could do in Windows was to assign any sound effect you wanted to use to just about any operating system or other event. For example, you could have Captain Pecard say "Minimize" whenever you minimized a window.
OS X (10.7 Lion in my case) doesn't make this as easy. If you want to add your own sound effects to the pre-installed sound effects you get when you open System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects, you must manually add them to the correct folder after first converting them into .aiff format.
I've done all this successfully, but I don't know the last step, namely, how to assign the new sound to a 'Custom' event. I see my new sound files in the right place (System Preferences → Sound → Sound Effects), but it just says 'Custom' for the alert sount type.
Help would be appreciated.
Ted

So? Just select the name. BTW, all that does is select which one you want to use for ALERTs, nothing else. For anything else, such as those contained in
/System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/f inder/ you need to rename the new sound as the original and put them into that same location.

How to create the droste effect in photoshop cc 2014?

In the past you could use pixel bender to create the droste effect, that is what I have found out from the internet.
But how to create that effect today seams non existent on the net!
Can any one help?
KR,
AJ

Right. Pixel Bender is gone. It was an experimental filter available from Adobe Labs but never made it into an actual product release. As of CS6, Oil Paint filter was introduced. It's not the same thing but more like a shaved down version of Pixel Bender.
Look at Filter Forge. They offer a 30-day trial. Disclaimer: I've never used it myself.

How to create this scale effect/3D?

I want to create an effect similar to what can be seen in the following video where the subject slowly scales up creating a 3D effect:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nH45OSmzY8
I'm guessing that the subject is just masked out of the photo in Photoshop and placed on a new layer, brought into Premiere and the subject layer is just scaled up? Is there anything else?
Any other tips for doing this?
Thanks.

How to add new sound effects?

Hi Guys,
I am fairly new to GarageBand and I wanted to had new sound effects. So I came here, read a few posts, an gave it a try. I got a couple of files(2 .aiff and 1 .aif) I went to the library / . . /iLifesoundeffect, created a folder called, Nature, and put to of files in that one. I put the other in the existing Animal folder. Yet, when I open the loops in garageband, I cannot see any of these files. What can I do to make them availble.
Question 2. Is there a way to use mp3 or wav files as well?
Thanks

I cannot see any of these files. What can I do to make them availble.
First they have to be made into "Apple Loops"
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#soundtracklooputility
Second, you have to drop the files (or the folder of files) onto GB's Loop Browser so that GB knows they exist.
Is there a way to use mp3 or wav files as well?
Drop them into the timeline.

How to create a Lamella effect in PSE7 ?

I'd like to create as a special effect a light and shadow lamella effect (as it can be seen when the light is coming through partially closed lamella curtains). Does someone knows how to create this effect with PSE7?
Thanks for your help.
Roland

I worked on this challenge a bit and came up with the following:
Open picture file
Duplicate background layer, work on background copy layer, shut off visibility of background layer by clicking on its eye icon. I do this so that if you want to start over again, you can just delete the newly generated layers.
Create a new, blank layer at the top of the stack, fill this with 50% gray (Edit>fill layer>50% gray), Mode:overlay
Go to Filter>sketch>Halftone pattern. Adjust size & contrast. Pattern type:line
Soften this a bit with Filter>noise>median - set radius to suit
Still working on layer at top of stack with 50% gray, apply eraser tool to remove unwanted striping.
Go to Image>transform>skew to achieve desired curvature of stripes
Reduce opacity of this layer to suit.
An alternative may be to take a picture of a venetian blind with light behind it, define this as a pattern (Edit>define pattern), then apply this pattern in a layer. I can't try this since we don't have venetian blinds.

How to create a text effect like this (see example)

Hello everybody,
i would like to create a text, pretty similiar to this shirt: http://www.kuhvet.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/OKC-Conference-Champs-LR-T-shirt.jpg
So, the stext hould appear in 3D (kind of) and also should have a golden and silver outline. Also the shadow should drop in front of the text.
I hope that's possible and not that hard to create? I'm a beginner to Illustrator (CS4).
Thanks a lot for your help
Warm regards from Germany
Florian

I would not waste time using AI 3D tools to accomplish this effect. It is 1 point perspective. Start with your front text, establish a horizon line and vanishing point, scale and duplicate the text using the vanishing point as your center of scaling, then connect the points to create the "extruded effect" between the to sets of text. You can outline the text to accomplish this.
For the reflected text, as John suggested, duplicate your text and distort it. Read about "Envelope Distortion" meshes. These will keep your distorted text fully editable, if that is a concern.
Have fun learning Illustrator.

How to create shiny/mirror effect with a background.

HI there we have been trying to create a shiny effect and
found the following tutorial.
http://www.fireworkszone.com/redirectionNbClicks.php?root=2&idLogiciel=4&idTutorial=371
The only problem we have is that we have a textured
background and the tutorial talks about having a colored background
with not texture.
When we create the shiny effect you can see the white or
black that fades.
Any suggestions?.

To create a user defined member, in the Hierarchy editor on the bottom right of the screen there is an add buton, if you click on it, you will get a list. Included in the list are user defined child and user defined sibling. These create user defined members. Don't worry that the binding says unspecified. When you save the hierarchy, it will change it will change to be a text value equal to the name you gave the member. To get the members you want to put under that member, I find it easiest to create a Dimension element that has filtering to get select the I need for example if I create a user defined member called diet drinks. I'll create a Dimension member called diet skus that has a filter to select skus where the alias contains the word diet. I'll put that member under my diet drinks member. Whil it might be a little late for you. The Essbase Studio book I'm working on will be available late this week. It has examples of what you are asking about.

How to create a ripple effect on grid

Hello,
I'm trying to distort a standard 20x20 line grid to make it look as if it has a ripple running through it. I've tried putting the grid into photoshop and using various filters but they don't seem to work. Also the liquify tool in photoshop just created messy results. I want it to have a basic 3 dimensional look. Is there a simple way to do this?
Thanks for your help,
Ben

Monika,
I'm trying to recreate the 3D effect of an object being dropped into water. However instead of using a solid vector, I'm trying to recreate the effect within a grid of lines. Maybe the image I uploaded above would help explain it better?
The lines in the grid need to bend and distort so that it looks as if the ripple is going through the grid.
The only thing I've done so far is create a 3d model of a ripple and use the wire frame view but when looking at it from above the lines don't create the ripple effect as you can see in the below image:
Does this make more sense now?
