Flame whooshes, musical instruments and 8-bit chip sounds are among the tools utilized to create the source recordings. They were then ripped apart, layered and modulated, resulting in a wide variety of textures and moods. Additionally, all sounds have been play-tested in Wwise to ensure responsiveness and usability. With 12 expressions in each set, Useful Interface contains no shortage of workable options to bolster your UI and enhance the experience of your project.

The Useful Interface library was recorded and produced by Jason Strawley and Andrew Garraway, employing both synthesized and organic sounds to create their ideal UI toolset:

“In my experience, a lot of UI sounds out there are not ideal. Some are zany, cartoony, or over-designed. Others are harsh, discordant, and hard to listen to – closer to an alarm. Of course, this is necessary if the message you’re trying to get across is ‘nope’ or ‘danger,’ but it seems like these types of sounds make up a majority. Many are fully synthesized, which is great, but I feel the results are often better if you start with an organic recording as the seed.” – Jason Strawley
