What are some common mistakes to avoid in sound design?

Common mistakes in sound design include over-processing, using low-quality samples, ignoring the mix balance, and failing to consider the context in which the sound will be heard. Overly complex sounds can clash with other elements, while ignoring dynamics can make audio feel flat. Another mistake is neglecting to tailor sound design for different playback systems, leading to poor quality on certain devices. At A3Tunes, we ensure every sound is clean, contextually appropriate, and mixed to industry standards, avoiding pitfalls that can diminish a project’s overall quality.
