Sound Effects From a Text Prompt

Sound Effects

• Text to SFX

  Describe any sound and generate it. No more settling for the closest library match — the sound is made for your description, not found near it.

• Game-ready output

  Built for the categories games consume constantly: UI sounds, ambience, impacts, and ability effects, ready to audition and export.

• Sound design for video

  Add generated sound-effect tracks onto existing video clips, so trailers, hooks, and story ads get whooshes, hits, and atmosphere without leaving the workspace they were generated in.

• One workspace, every modality

  Sound effects live beside Layer's text-to-speech, music, image, video, and 3D generation — 300+ AI models, model-agnostic, with day-0 integrations as new models ship.

• Iterate at the speed of text

  Not punchy enough? Too long? Change the description and regenerate. Iteration is a sentence edit, not a new library search or a re-record.

1. 01

   Describe the sound

   Write what you want to hear — the source, the material, the mood, the context. Specific descriptions produce specific sounds.

2. 02

   Generate and audition

   Layer generates the effect from your text. Listen, compare takes, and refine the description until it hits.

3. 03

   Place it or export it

   Add the track onto an existing video clip in Layer, or export game-ready SFX into your engine and builds.

• UI and game feel

  Clicks, confirms, purchases, upgrades, rewards — the dozens of small sounds that make an interface feel responsive, generated as fast as the features that need them.

• Combat and ability effects

  Impacts, ability effects, and hit feedback described per character and per skill, so every ability sounds like what it does.

• Ambience and world-building

  Environmental beds for every biome, menu, and event screen — weather, crowds, machinery, magic — generated to match the scene instead of approximated from a library.

• UA creative and trailers

  Sound design is what makes generated video feel finished. Layer lets you add SFX tracks directly onto your clips, closing the loop from prompt to polished ad in one platform.
