Becoming an Audio Freelancer: An Interview with Andrew Dearing

April 4, 2018 by Ashley Coull

  Recently, I had the pleasure of sitting down with 10+ year Sound Designer and all around audio veteran Andrew Dearing to chat about a topic in which I will admit I know very little about: the world of freelance.

February 1, 2018 by Ashley Coull

  Synthesis is a vast of possibilities. It allows us to create sound, destroy it, and morph seamlessly between the two.

Sunday Sound Thought #98: The Reset Button

December 10, 2017 by Ashley Coull

Have you ever hit the reset button on your life? The kind where everything you know changes: your job, your home, your community. I think these major resets are happening more than we give them credit for, and yet somehow they always seems to catch us off guard. Resets can happen at any time. Your partner gets an amazing job opportunity that takes you out of state. Or … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought #93: Everyone’s an Expert

October 29, 2017 by Ashley Coull
