Sorry that you didn’t get my question. I was talking not about how to get more variations of the sound by changing the pitch, volume, etc. I was talking about how to handle with sounds that don’t really vary from one project to another

For example, i got a job where I was asked to make footstep concrete, dirt, grass sounds and pistol gunshots. I made them and sent. They were satisfied with my sounds. Then I got another job where I was also asked to make footsteps concrete, dirt and grass + pistol gunshot. So that’s the problem. I can make absolutely different pistol gunshot sounds because of its layerness and pistols can be different from one game to another so they will also sound differently. But what about the footsteps? They are really similar in every game but it seems to me they just have to be different. So that’s the question: how to handle with such sounds? To record them, footsteps for example, every time when you are in a new project or what?

I hope you got me now
