Introducing "April Audio Challenge" - a 30 Day Creative Challenge!

I'm excited to announce 'April Audio Challenge'!

Let's practice sound design together and create some awesome redesigns everyday throughout April. Whether you have 1 hour, 30 minutes or only 15 minutes a day of time we encourage you to download the video clip of the day, set an alarm for any amount of time, and fully focus on creating some great redesigns!

Does it sound familiar to you? No, this is not a déjà vu! The last year we had an amazing 'March Through Sound' challenge with more than 1700 sound redesigns in total. April Audio Challenge is a follow-up event, with the same format and rules, that I’m sure will be just as popular.

Watch the #Noisevember space to get a new clip each day from a daily post, and share your redesign in the comments!

There are none! You can use whatever source material you like: from pre-existing sound libraries to your own recordings. We personally recommend setting yourself an alarm for ~45 minutes and diving deep into your session - but anything counts.

Just so it's clear - you CAN:

  • Use designed sounds

  • Use recorded or synthesized sounds

  • Use any sound library you want

  • Work on the redesign for any amount of time

  • Submit unfinished work

This year, we’ll be introducing bonus weekend challenges, where we’ll provide you with a limited number of sounds to be used for the specific clip. Feel free to accept the additional challenge or take it easy and follow the usual no-rules policy.

The challenge is to simply practice your sound design skills everyday for a month! We've handpicked 30 video clips ranging from indie video games to VFX animations, and we've paid special attention to make sure all of the videos chosen cover a wide range of genres, tonality, and media.

There will be a post created for every day in the #Noisevember space where you can download each video and post your redesign, as well as discuss, analyse, get some inspiration, and have fun with other Airwiggles users! Feel free to share your creations outside of Airwiggles community, using the #AAC24 hashtag!

If you submit 20 or more redesigns, then you will get:

  • The Airwiggles VIP Library: a 1.4gb sound library created by the Airwiggles team, featuring 100 sound effects with over 500 unique variations.

  • The great feeling that you challenged yourself and hopefully you will have built a habit to practice your sound design skills!

If you complete the entire challenge with 30 redesigns, then you can get:

  • 12-month subscription to Krotos Studio (5 subscriptions, selected in a raffle): a sound design platform that offers powerful tools for creating sound design for post-production and game audio

  • A custom blue-star member tag here on Airwiggles!


Save the date - we're starting the first day of April!
