Dealing with external production issues

September 20, 2016 by Rev. Dr. Bradley D Meyer

Dealing with external production issues

Let's consider (for the next 178 words) the production process as a river, and we are a drop of water flowing from the beginning of the project to the end. Like every other drop of water, we have a goal: to make it to the end of the river. And as a single drop of water, there are numerous challenges we face as we hurtle down the river, many of which are the result of our own … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought 37 – References and Expectations

Sunday Sound Thought 37 – References and Expectations

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… I had the brake pads for the front wheels on my car replaced last weekend, and now they make this interesting … [Read more...]

Silence At Work

July 2, 2014 by Varun Nair

Silence At Work

For the past few years I have been bothered about the amount of time I spend on a job — not specifically about how busy I am, but rather how much time I spend concentrating on the task that needs getting done. By default, most of us learn to constantly optimise our workflows as our experience grows. This is very important, as successful projects are judged not only on their … [Read more...]

Harvesting Anomalies

Harvesting Anomalies

Guest Contribution by Ivo Ivanov Take a moment to think about the magnitude of all the rejected material that disappears during your editing process. Material with unwanted artifacts, discarded without much further thought, as it is rendered useless due to a number of auditory issues or location-specific problems. Now imagine if those discarded bits of audio were actually what … [Read more...]

Considerations for Creative Field Recording

October 29, 2013 by Shaun Farley

Considerations for Creative Field Recording

On developing your ear... I purchased my first field recorder in 2010. Ever since it’s become a vital tool in my sound design process. As a result, I now hear the world in a completely different context. I hear a palette of colors, textures, and techniques with which I can capture many weird and wonderful things.
