Know Thy Mixer: A guide to adapting your sound editing workflow

Know Thy Mixer: A guide to adapting your sound editing workflow

Every project, scene or audio file can provide a unique set of challenges that we as editors have to contend with. “How should I remove that … [Read more...]

Combating Noise in Plug-in Chains

This article is going to be a little less template, and a little more workflow. We all have our favorite plug-ins.
