Midweek Motivation: Halo Sound Design – Behind the Sound of the Spartans – Krotos Audio

The sound design for the the Spartans from the Paramount + series Halo, created a challenge for the Halo sound team. Learn how Brennan Mercer and the rest of the Halo sound team used Krotos to design the heavy, metallic, armored footsteps.
We were very, very excited to hear that Weaponiser was at the helm of these awesome sounds, and it was a joy to hear from the Halo sound team on how they built the sound world for such an iconic franchise. You can feel every brutal footstep of the Spartan armour, and Brennan Mercer and the rest of the Halo sound team did a fantastic job on the sound production of this fantastic TV show.

Achieve the same results using the Krotos Sound Design Bundle
Using Weaponiser and Reformer, you can get the same sounding results. Krotos explains how in this article.
With Weaponiser, not only can you sync additional layers to your Foley with ease like Brennan and his team did, but did you know that your Foley recordings themselves can be added to Weaponiser directly?…
…Brennan used Cargo Cult’s awesome Envy plugin to achieve the additional design layers of the Spartans suit, but did you know you could use Reformer Pro to achieve similar results?
