In Pursuit of Silence

October 24, 2014 by Shaun Farley

In Pursuit of Silence

Early last year, we pointed out In Pursuit of Silence on Kickstarter. The initial campaign was early production funding. We then had the opportunity to interview the director, Patrick Shen, while he was in the middle of production and get a glimpse into the progress of the film. Now they're at the point where they're working to raise finishing funds. We support this film and … [Read more...]

Spaces From Noise

Spaces From Noise

Impulse responses are great for recreating spaces, whether it is a resonant glass bottle or a large cave.

Silence is the Sound of Listening

"One can look at seeing but one can't hear hearing" - Marcel Duchamp As you may know, silence is the topic chosen for this month here at Designing Sound.

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...]

September 5, 2013 by Erica Basnicki

Interview: David Hendy, author of “Noise: A Human History”

David Hendy is part media historian, part writer/broadcaster, and completely passionate about sound. Most recently, he created the excellent 30-part radio series on BBC Radio 4 Noise: A Human History, also available as a book under it's slightly longer title Noise: A Human History of Sound and Listening.
