Becoming an Audio Freelancer: An Interview with Andrew Dearing

  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.

Re-recording Mixers vs Sound Designers

January 24, 2011 by Miguel Isaza

Re-recording Mixers vs Sound Designers

Tim Prebble has published a must-read article about the relationship between sound designers and re-recording mixers, the importance of their roles, the creative challenges of each, etc. Very interesting and inspiring.
