Foley





Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects which are added in post production to enhance the quality of audio for films, television, video, video games and radio. These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass. The best Foley art is so well integrated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the audience. It helps to create a sense of reality within a scene. Without these crucial background noises, movies feel unnaturally quiet and uncomfortable.

Foley audio is the live recording of sound effects --effects that you create, capture and add to video programs in post production. Foley audio is such a useful technique that you may want to make it a part of your regular editing tool kit. 
Consider:
Foley effects add realism and depth to audio tracks.
They're easy to produce and record with hobbyist/prosumer equipment.
They simplify the synchronizing of sounds that would otherwise be tedious or downright impossible to manage.
