There have been so many great films, shows, games, and events this year that we thought we would share some of our favorites for you to go back and check out in … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought 41 – A Different Kind of Challenge in VR

October 9, 2016 by Shaun Farley

Sunday Sound Thought 41 – A Different Kind of Challenge in VR

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… As I wrap up this live action VR/360 short I've been working on, I've been starting to postmortem the process … [Read more...]

How I Failed My Way to Progress

September 16, 2016 by Ashley Coull

How I Failed My Way to Progress

Last year, I managed to build the worst ever Voice Over dialog pipeline. What started from good intentions and the drive to be organized, slowly deteriorated into an epic mess of versioning issues and inconsistencies between English text, localization and in-game text. It was, by every sense of the word, a failure. … [Read more...]

Sunday Sound Thought 15 – Fore | Mid | Back

Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… I'm continuing the "visual vs. sound analogs" stream this week. I feel confident in expecting that everyone … [Read more...]

“Hearing Lips and Seeing Voices” – The McGurk Effect

December 15, 2014 by Samuel Ejnes

[youtube]http://youtu.be/73LE1vKGfy4[/youtube] Now, you may not have noticed anything all that strange watching the video, but mute the sound and watch it again. After that, close your eyes and listen to just the audio. Notice anything strange now? You’ve just witnessed one of the more interesting perceptual illusions, … [Read more...]

Happy New Year…All Hail the King!

January 2, 2014 by Shaun Farley

Happy New Year…All Hail the King!

A very "Happy New Year" to everyone in our community from the team at Designing Sound! We're starting off the year with something we don't often associate with sound design. I'm going to assume you've seen The Wizard of Oz before. Recall that scene described in the script above, and remember everything that came before it. Picture the sudden burst of color when you get your … [Read more...]

The Dialog Re-Assign Workflow

November 25, 2013 by Samuel Ejnes

The Dialog Re-Assign Workflow

My first exposure to noise reduction processing was with Waves X-Noise, working clip-by-clip, finding a snippet of noise in the clear, setting the noise profile, then processing the clip before moving to the next one. This offline processing method, while effective, would end up taking a lot of time, especially on long-form projects. Similarly, if you had a processed clip that … [Read more...]
