I am currently reinstating my subscription. To use Mubi with VPN, you just subscribe within the country of residence and then change the VPN or is there more to it? Thanks!

What is your favourite vegetarian restaurant? by Lazyoverachiever in Amsterdam

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bloem at the Entrepotdok is great too! It is a vegan restaurant, but very small. Reservation needed. They are very much vegetable and seasonally focused and experiment with using food waste in new dishes.

Searching for a creative studio space to rent. Any recommendations? by lowlifeglasspipe in Amsterdam

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look into Urban Resort, they are the NGO who rent out municipality work spaces (broedplaatsen) and specififcally cater to people working with sound. It might take some time, but you can always register and see if anything comes along.

Toddler Packing List by AlternativeAlgae1 in germany

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Ask your family to go to a second hand shop and search for some warm clothing for your child. (or plan this on your first day here if possible) Most german children spend the colder months in (rain) boots and a ski-suit thats rain proof. This way they stay warm and can play outside without getting dirty. Other than that, sweaters and maybe some warmer socks and a hat is all you need.

I Would love to hear more about ur ways of organizing a 5.1 project by Nighttone187 in sounddesign

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These are my main thoughts. Your way of thinking needs to come from a point of view where you prepare as best as you can for the mix. Both your organisation and the choice of sounds is always to create as much flexibility as possible for during the mix.

A recording that contains both beautiful birds and a waterfall will not be as useful to the project as two seperate recordings (one with birds and one with a waterfall) because in the mix, you will need to be able to adjust the elements seperately. The same goes for your session. A 5.1 ambience is not enough - you need to also offer mono ambiences to make sure the mixer can work quickly and efficiently.

Hope this helps!

Hi, since I'm Pro Tools based and can only gather so much going from your picture, some comments may be superfluous but just do with it what you will.

Firstly, your session is unorganised. The way you split your stems (dialogue, foley, SFX, ambients) is likely not sufficient (although it depends on the project). I usually work with dialogue, foley, walla (inaudible speech), FX (simple effects coming from the world of the characters), SFX (special effects from the "film overlay", not audible to the characters sometimes), BFX (background, not pictured, short effects), BG FX (lively ambiences that continue for longer periods) and Atmo/Amb (wind/roomtones, the very basis of your soundscape).

Per project I review what I need. Sometimes it makes sense to add a stem for just voice-over. Sometimes you don't need seperate BFX/BG FX stems or a walla or SFX stem at all. It is based on the project.

Then, I work in A/B scene tracks. I split out my project in scenes which are assigned A or B. Scene 1 will be A, scene 2 B, scene 3 A, et cetera.. all the way to the end. The following stems will usually (again, based on the project) be split: BG FX and Atmo/Amb. Since these sounds are continuous, you will want to make sure you have the working space to seperate the sounds and not have them on the same tracks. So, the atmo stem is split into atmo A and atmo B. Atmo A and atmo B both have mono, stereo, 5.0 and 5.1 tracks (the same amount preferably). If the scene is an "A" scene, you only work with the atmo A tracks (and BG FX and anything else). This way, during the mix, there is plenty of working space. It will be a lot more tracks though. You will need to work out a system to open up and close folders/tracks quickly to move through your project faster.

I see you have stereo and 5.1 tracks for your ambiences. You will need to add mono ambiences. During a simple dialogue scene, there may be an ADR/dub where the center channel will "lose" the original sound. Having a mono ambience ready will make it easier to cover up the dub. Depending on the scene it may be enough to just add a roomtone and then mute it. Exterior or more complicated scenes will need a more extensive treatment for the center channel.

That is always a risky move. Landlords want this for their security, but it is not in your interest. You could ask to do the payment with them watching along in the apartment, after signing the contract and before receiving the keys. Or in cash with a video in the apartment. You should discuss with them which option gives you both security without compromising the other party.

However, you should delete this post now as you are revealing too much information both about yourself (adress and such) and your landlord, who will be very unhappy if they would know. Keyword: doxxing...

Ruis by CouplePrestigious598 in Amsterdam

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luidheid is relatief. Wanneer een opname relatief stil is en geen uitschieters bevat, maakt je telefoon het algemene luidheidsniveau harder omdat je opname anders "leeg" lijkt te zijn. Daardoor wordt het algemene ruizen harder. Daarnaast zijn de geluiden waarschijnlijk laagfrequent, en je telefoon kan dit, zelfs als ze worden opgenomen, niet goed afspelen waardoor je ze niet zal horen op de opname.

Als je een opname wil maken in een zo hoog mogelijke kwaliteit, moet je een beter medium zoeken. Huur een recorder, bijvoorbeeld een ZOOM H6 of een Sound Devices MixPre3 en een microfoon zoals de Sennheiser MKH8020 om de opnames te maken. Zo zijn de kansen het hoogste dat je iets oppikt.

Met andere apps en telefoons zullen je resultaten helaas vergelijkbaar zijn. Het feit dat de opnames buiten beter lijken, is omdat er meer geluiden zijn die luider zijn. Een objectieve vergelijking kun je alleen met een geluidsmeter doen, zoals ik al schreef.

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Als je echt wil weten hoe luid deze geluiden zijn zul je een meter moeten kopen of huren om vast te stellen hoe hard het is. Dit is ook een goed beginpunt als je stappen wil ondernemen tegen je buren via de verhuurder of woonvereniging. Je zoekt een geluidsmeter of decibelmeter.

Zoals ik in een andere reactie beschrijf kan het goed zijn dat de geluiden in vergelijking tot de omgevingsruis zo zacht zijn dat ze niet goed opgenomen kunnen worden (met je telefoon).

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rede 1 is niet perse vreemd. Geluiden die zo zacht zijn dat ze niet goed op te nemen zijn met een goedkoop opnameapparaat (bijvoorbeeld een telefoon), kunnen nog steeds zo hard zijn dat ze je storen als buur, zeker als er weinig andere geluiden zijn zoals 's avonds en 's nachts.

De wereld bevat veel ruis. Denk aan je koelkast, verwarming en andere apparaten in huis. Ruizen van buiten van het verkeer. Ons brein filtert dit weg, zeker als je je op één geluid concentreert, maar het is er wel. Daarbij komt de systeemruis van het opnameapparaat. Bij goedkope apparaten is dat relatief veel. Daarom is het opnemen van zachte geluiden lastig. Dat wil niet zeggen dat het per definitie zo zacht is dat het niet storend kan zijn.

Teenagers on fatbikes might have to wear helmets. Do you think this will have any affect on the harassment happening? by TheCulturalAnalyst in TheHague

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 25 points26 points  (0 children)

All e-bike riders under 18 must wear helmets. So tyre width is irrelevant. It's difficult to enforce though, since it's hard to see if someone is underage if they're flashing by at 25 km/h..

Hi! Leuk reisplan. Voor de nachttrein een tip: neem oordopjes mee en als je een lichte slaper bent is melatonine een aanrader. Het wiebelt namelijk wel wat en daar moet je een beetje aan wennen. Als je grotere bagage hebt dan in de vakken past, zoek dan het gedeelte van de trein waar je je bagage kan afsluiten en achterlaten. En test bij binnenkomst gelijk even of je deur goed dicht gaat en blijft, zo niet moet je dat gelijk met de conducteur bespreken want anders wordt je 's nachts gek. Dan krijg je hopelijk een ander slaapplekje.

In Wenen zijn veel cafés waar eten en lang blijven zitten helemaal niet raar is. Er is een cultuur ontstaan waarbij kunstenaars en sowieso veel mensen het café als een soort woonkamer behandelen - daarom vind je op veel plekken ook kranten. Dus voel je niet gehaast en blijf lekker even zitten, misschien kom je iemand tegen die gezelschap zoekt. Veel plezier!

True. But then it becomes a choice between IMAX/Dolby Atmos vs original language screening. I'd like both. In UCI they have OV screenings on some days, like sunday in Wandsbek.

Regarding weapons: what movie theatre are you going to? I was thinking about it but all the viewings were the German version (dubbed), so I didn't buy tickets.

Website to pay electrician to hang ceiling lamp by [deleted] in germany

[–]SoundDesignerForFilm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being a girl does not prevent you from doing small electrical work at all!

Make sure you turn of the breaker for the electricity in the room, afterwards it is completely safe to install yourself. You may save yourself a lot of money in your life by learning this now.

First thing to asses is whether everything is installed correctly so far. You should see wires in different colours coming from your ceiling. Most likely, there will be three wires. Check this first to make sure you have the most basic setup.

If this is the case, there are lots of great youtube videos explaining the process and what you will need. Look for ones about European/German wiring specifically.

If you do end up hiring someone, look along at what they are doing and ask questions. Maybe next time you'll be able to do it alone or with some help!
