That's a tough ask. Without knowing more details as AA has mentioned it's hard to give advice that is guaranteed to work. If you are having to record actors that are moving round but you can't get in close, or interview more than one person at a time where you can't get in close, as well as mics...

If you are looking for affordable sound effects packs or royalty-free music tracks, then consider adding rocksuresoundz.com to your short list of web sources for these. There are currently 28 sound effects packs available covering a variety of different types of sound effects, each pack...

Have you had any success in creating your sound effect? There have been some very good suggestions already given, so I won't repeat them. I will just add that when creating sfx like monsters by layering sounds, while there are many possible approaches to doing this, I have discovered that even...

I thought the Vice was done by Clampett Steel?

Personally I have recorded thousands of sound effects and hundreds of royalty-free music tracks.........but when I want to tell people about the new products I go here: IndieTalk - Indie Film Forum > Classified Ads > Promotion rather than starting a thread in this section of the forum. People...

:lol::lol: Why is it that people just don't seem to get the fact that film is half about audio.....and more than half of getting good audio is getting it at the source?

We just added a one and a half minute audio preview for each of our Sound Effect Packs. Hitting the play button gives you a bit of a general overview medley of the contents of the pack. Not every sound effect in the pack is included in the preview, but it's designed to give a bit of a...

Yeah I think that is pretty good advice. Boundary mics (PZM's) are often overlooked when doing this sort of thing, but they can work well for it, and would yield better results than a camera mounted mic if sensibly placed. A spaced pair of them can be even better.

I had a listen to that track. For the first minute or so I thought.."hmm, this could build to something interesting"......I kept listening. It never built to anything, it never changed. It's like a 10 minute loop of sameness. I was totally bored by it in the end. I don't understand the...

That's really good advice. Dual mono mode can really save your bacon on those parts where an unexpectedly loud peak occurs. It's kind of added insurance.

Here is a small piece taken out of a tutorial I wrote on gain staging" http://rocksuresoundz.com/2012/03/07/audio-gain-staging/ "If you find that signals in your DAW have been recorded too hot for clean mixing with plenty of headroom, the use of trim plugins is the first place to go. Using one...

Classic :lol: !!!!

Sometimes when you are making a film or video you may need a specific sound effect to enhance the soundtrack. It's not always practical to record or create the sounds yourself. Buying a readily available sound effects library for these occasions can be pretty costly. Hunting for individual sound...

I agree with A.A and A.P.E in what they have said here. Also I'd add that recording in spaces like alleys where there are echoes can also contribute to making speech less intelligible. If echo times in the particular alley mean that sounds arrive back at a microphone simultaneously with spoken...

Most DAW's have a normalization algorithm. If you use these to process your audio they boost the volume of the processed audio until the peaks are at (or just below) 0dBFS. That leaves no room for EQ or other processing. Don't do it. Y knot u may arkx? Well for a start, if you were to blend 2 or...

Can you be a bit more specific...ie: point to a youtube clip or something with something similar to what you mean in it? I may have something. If not it would be likely pretty easy to come up with one that's similar.

Yes you are right it does have those parameters, but there is also a dial to set the record speed, and another one for the year. So it does have a certain pattern of revolutions to each setting. A good free plug in though. I don't remember when the last time i used it was though...I get more...

The use of Izotope vinyl as AA pointed out is a helpful tool. You could alternatively go to a sfx library and get static and/or hiss and popping sound effects. The major problem with using the sound of old vinyl records is that they spin at 33,45 or78rpm, so that the crackles and pops tend to...

Totally agree that "Dark side of the moon" is a masterpiece of recording and mixing. IT doesn't really relate to film, but the overcompression and limiting of so much modern music is crazy. There's a recent U2 song ( don't remember what it's called) that starts with a solo guitar and then when...
