About Nikolay Kaplya

Russia-based sound editor, recordist, sound designer with interest in audio programming for Unity games. Main focus: delivery of neat thematic collections suitable for sound design (including “Foley” effects).

Nicolas started sound recording activity in 2013, while he studied sound engineering in Rostov State Conservatory, where he gathered experience as a studio sound engineer as well. After that point Nicolas did much self-taught practice in sound design and game audio. Probably it could be called some kind of “professional” hobby at that point, but he was really keen on all that sound stuff and would like to do it for a living. In the beginning of 2016 Nicolas with friends recordists started to make little neat sound effects libraries both for free exchange and for sale to compensate time and efforts spent on sound recording and editing. These packs are mainly suited for “indie” game devs, but also helpful as sound design kits for movies and video clips, distributed through stock sites such as Pond5, AudioJungle and even Soundly cloud-based browsing apps.

Since midsummer of 2018 Nicolas has worked as freelance sound editor on UpWork platform, collaborating with indie game developers and animators all over the world. In 2020 Nicolas join team of creative video makers and sound enthusiasts in his hometown to create new studio and extend limitations of ones mind.
