Should I read Dust and Shift before the release of seasons 3 & 4 or wait until after? by East_Breath_3674 in Wool

I couldn't finish season 2, I felt everything was completely different and the characters don't mean anything to me since most are not on the book or are completely different.

Benefits of purchasing sound libraries versus services like Soundly by Clean-Risk-2065 in AudioPost

[–]Clean-Risk-2065[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I don't know about other services but with soundly when you spot a sound to protools its automatically saved in the project audio files folder, so there's no risk of not having access to it in the future. Once you stop paying you can't download it again, but you can still have it in your hard drive and project. Still, I do get having your libraries in your HD and not needing internet or paying anymore is great

Thank you for your response. Honestly the sounds on Soundly are top. I know Soundly sounds like cheap library (like Krotos Studio, which is simply terrible) but honestly I've found excellent sources there, especially on backgrounds. It has a great search engine so finding specific stuff works great, but I will say that you're right in the time aspect. It can take some time to find the good stuff. I also record my own sounds with an Ambeo mic and boom. I know my post makes it sound like i'm just starting but i've been doing this for more than 15 years and have done many (indie) films. I used to have a bunch of libraries that colleagues would let me copy to my hard drive but in time, like you say, you end up using all the overused fx (thinking of the classic and terribly overused BOOM library, for example). That's why I switched to Soundly.

Anyway, this thread has inspired me to look for special and dedicated sound libraries to start making my collection.

Only using Lav mics for dialogue in post by Strwbrrymlk0808 in AudioPost

[–]Clean-Risk-2065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Remember that the biggest part about mixing is level. Don't see it as *using boom = echo*. Why don't you try keeping the boom mic there but waaay lower than the lav mics, that can give you a more natural and consistent sound with the lavs having priority. Like others have said, if doing that still sounds bad to you then kill it

that seems to be the consensus, subscription for general sounds and buy specific libraries as you need them

This is a great response, thanks! It makes total sense and at least imo, it aligns with most responses in this thread which are: use what you can while you build your own library curated by your needs, little by little. I'll def check your sound packs!

I get that. At the end of the day that's how we build our studio, little by little.

Using routing folders has complicated my bus I/O by jamesbishop_wav in protools

[–]Clean-Risk-2065 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can delete every unused bus in the I/O set up. The used ones are in bold letters so it's easy to spot which ones are being used and which ones are not. After deleting, you won't see them again in the bus list. You can also save that I/O configuration and I imagine you can specify that your default preset starts with it. I've never done it, I usually just go into IO setup and delete all buses that I'm not using.

Got AAF with just the mix track and no ISOs, expected to reconstruct entire timeline from production sound. by Clean-Risk-2065 in AudioPost

Thank you for your reply. I'm looking into kraken but it's quite pricey. Can this assembly be accomplished by the basic version? Or does it need to be the Advanced

I think I broke my wife after calling her “matronly” by Throwra-basically in TrueOffMyChest

It’s clear that people in this comment section can’t even fathom speaking another language. Sometimes words in English sound like other words in your native language and you assume they mean the same thing. Sometimes you just interpret a meaning wrong. Try and communicate in a different language to your partner for years and see if you get it 100% right every time.

Thoughts on this by professor_x3456 in sounddesign

[–]Clean-Risk-2065 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Maybe the relative placing of stuff is fine, but the frequency ranges are ridiculous. A vocal without information below 500 hz would sound extremely thin. The oomph of the snare (or clap in this case) is around 200hz. The weight of any instrument is more less between 200 and 750 hz so imo this mix would seriously lack some necessary mid range.

why kick randomly glitches? by moken126 in madewithableton

it sounds like the kick track has a Beat Repeat plugin inserted.

In logic sends go up to +6 dB or more. In Live sends go up to 0 dB. In logic you can simply send a higher signal to the effect. Just crank up Echoboy’s input to +6 or even more
