Sound Design Exploration - Contra

Sound Design Exploration

I redesigned @contra's product launch video. Loved the visuals, saw a big chance to improve it with sound.

Approach:

I used typewriter sounds throughout to create a consistent sonic thread (the mechanical feel helps to keep everything grounded).
Whooshes are used for each transition to guide your attention from scene to scene without being too obvious about it (sometimes subtle, sometimes more noticeable - depending on the motion).
I added digital and UI sounds to keep it relatable and modern, but stayed away from going full sci-fi. The balance between analog typewriter and minimal digital keeps it feeling accessible and human.
Here's the full mix, followed by SFX breakdown of each category:
