Hi Ian, After speaking with famed movie historian Theo Gluck and our current Mickey Mouse, Wayne Allwine, I have narrowed down the pitch shifting technique...

Hi Lori, I work on "Magical Do-Re-Mi" for 4Kids/FOX at Real Recording in Manhattan and we use quite a bit of the Hanna Barbera SFX library, although I tend to...
As a general thing editors are on a "work for hire" contract and any "work product" belongs to the employer. Most contracts for most decent sized films say...
... I am working on a tv show for kids right now and the producers seem to _want_ me to use this library. I keep re-living being in grade school, watching The...
Dear sound folk, Just a reminder that the deadline for submissions to the upcoming sound edition of Synoptique (www.synoptique.ca) is December 15th. If you ...
Hi Chris! Very interesting stuff how the human brain interprets information. I wrote an article on this subject some years ago. You can find it on: ...
Hi Svenn I have made mouse sounds on a few occations using my mouth. I use the "sucking on front teeth"- method. This gives you the opportunity to vocalize the...
I forgot to mention that SoundStorm has a lot of Aircraft Carrier, Submarine, and Destroyer recordings. The tracks are cataloged and should go up on Sounddogs...

Hi Everyone, I am currently doing research for a play (drama/comedy) i've been asked to sound design/compose for. the story is really simple but the motive is...
Is the "young male adolescent" moving into an apartment or flat in the big city with a window or door that opens to the outside world? You could emphasize the...
Hi Arnoud! An example that springs to mind is Barton Fink. The way his hotel room is (sonically) cut of from the rest of the world is quite interesting. In ...
For that "empty" sound I have recorded "empty" places. Malls, train stations, stores, etc. after hours, even the streets of Manhattan at 3:00am Monday morning....
Great question, Arnoud! In order for the audience to get any story benefit from the isolation of the characters there will need to be one or more moments when...
A recent film I thought captured a 'quiet soundscape' remarkably well was Capote. Many of the scenes were very still and quiet (such as at the funeral home),...
Try Mulholland Drive, especially the scene at "Winkies". Notice how gradualy the soundscape limits the space. It starts with an ambulance passing by and other...
Thanks everyone! wow i'd never imagined getting such a big response, especially during the Holidays. I especially like the practical tips everyone gave, while...
Hi all, Klas suggested to watch "Barton Fink" for that fishtank/outside world effect. I've already seen this film perhaps a year ago and i loved it to pieces....
Hi, Arnoud! I think your director is probably at least a little sincere when he says he wants you to "go your way" with the sound. Lots of directors say...
Hi Randy, Thanks for the advice. I am well aware of your point and have been there before myself. I find myself in the position of being well acquainted with...
Hi every one! Have a nice New Year full of good things! Well, I'm now working on the sound for a short video film about 3 young men that are playing some music...
i reckon there are two simultaneous actions, one they are playing music and the other is about the mental journey of one of the character through the ...

Hello, Diego. I actually prefer a combination of the two. I think you can get some great atmospheric tracks from electronic while still adding in wonderful...
it's unquestionable that electronic music expands the limits of sound design. personally, i fully support the use of digital technology. but, never losing...

No preferences at all. The final decision will be up to the director, but use what you feel is appropriate. Many movie scores today use a combination of both...
Hi Diego I think that it's not really the source of the sound - in this case the musical sound - that's important, it's how you use it. Really as soon as you...
