Wow! incredible masterclass!! great examples and tips on final mixing! and of course what a great job in designing dragons!!! inspiring…
Very interesting thanks for the link.
Thats a great presentation
Randy Thom is great teacher;
‘the essential trick in a sequence like that is to find a way to make the audience feel like theyre hearing everything, when really theyre hearing an attempted graceful changing of focus from one set of sounds to another.’
Thank you!
