r/AudioPost

Hi, I've got a short film I'm making in which I need a police negotiator voice coming through a megaphone from outside a building. We only hear them from inside with our other characters.

I wonder if anyone has any tips of how to achieve this kind of effect with regards to how best to record it and what steps to take to try replicate that sound in the mix. Any advice would be greatly welcome, thanks.

Where did the term bounce as in «bounce to disk» that Pro Tools uses originate? Isnt it a weird verb to use to explain what is being done?

I'm a low-budget filmmaker making a new short film soon that I'm aiming to submit to festivals at the end of the year.

We have a small crew who will be running lavs and mics to record dialogue, audio will be monitored at all times but I want to make sure audio is absolutely bulletproof in post so we can hopefully mix lavs + boom to get a mix of clarity and bassiness.

I have experimented with phase alignment myself but I'm fairly amateur where dialogue handling is concerned.

Having a tool like Auto Align Post 2 seems like it might be worth it - $400 isn't an insignificant amount of money to me but I'm happy to spend it to make sure my audio is good in post, and then of course I have it for life for future projects.

I handle most post-production aspects myself so something that's intuitive and can save me hours of manual phase alignment, freeing me up to work on other parts of post sounds appealing.

Hi Colleagues. Anyone using soundly who can help me? I dont know why soundly is sending everything mono to my logic. It also does so by sending a specific location or by dragging it to the desktop.

I may need to record between 4-7 voice actors remotely for an animation series. It's not been cast yet but I imagine since it's not a high end show, actors would need home studios and be required to link up. I could record them one by one but would save a lot of time to record (at least the main cast) as an ensemble. Does anyone have experience with this they can share.

I've been looking at cleenfeed which it seems can be routed to Pro Tools with discrete channels.

Thanks!

I was just wondering if most dialogue editors also edit the PFX??
I have a client telling me that editing the PFX is part my job. But I was hired to do a dialogue edit. If they had hired me for fx and backgrounds, then I’d take care of that. I know it’s ultimately up to me to say what I will and will not edit. I was just wondering.

Lately, for the past 3-4 projects I am really having some trouble with directors.
They are sending me endless revisions and I can't see the end of it for months.
it's like; let's move the piano chord 0.5 milliseconds ahead, and the next revision is "let's just leave how it was before" then the next one is "oh, let's re-do this part completely" and then "oh, i guess the last one was better let's do it again but make it more blue" i mean what the hell is this?

I was thinking at the beginning that just that specific director is acting like that, but then the another one and the other one.
How do you deal with directors and projects? How do you restrict the revisions? I mean, i just want to be clear I am totally not against it! It's just that there is no end of anything if there is going to be this endless revisions
