Every sound editor and designer has phrases that they dread hearing, “Oh, we’ve got a small fantasy sword fight sequence in this episode of our sitcom”, or, “we’ve added a load of stuff in CGI”. These phrases are usually followed by the phrase, “That won’t be a problem, right?”
As a sound editor and designer who often works on fast-turnaround serial drama and comedy, the rise of easily available visual effects technology has meant that I’m hearing these phrases far more frequently nowadays. It’s usually followed by the grim realisation that you’re going to have to put in a load of overtime. Well, if you have to, why not do it in the comfort of your own home?
Sound Design From The Sofa
In this first instalment from our friends at Krotos Audio, Games Sound Designer Dan Mellis-Cohen, takes us through how to maximise your efficiency and minimise your stress, by using purpose built sound design tools, to help you deliver original inspiring sound design, without having to burn the midnight oil.
Using just his laptop, a microphone and a midi controller, Dan shows us in real time, how to use the Krotos Sound Design Bundle 2 (which includes Reformer Pro, Dehumaniser, Weaponiser and now also Igniter) to quickly and easily bring effects heavy scenes properly to life.
