Sorry for the late response Mike! Thanks for watching man. Glad to hear my videos are helping you out 👊 Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in a video in the future.
Awesome video bro keep up the great work, great way to break down this transition sound design, this was an fire 🔥 video well that means I got a lot to learn, I have watched this video 3x times and learned something new each time. Great video keep up the great work God Bless
Thanks so much!! 🙏🏼 Did they send me the ‘rushes’? Did you mean clips? So I was asked to create a product trailer for the plug-in pack for mTransition Noise. I used stock footage from Artgrid and FilmPac that I thought would fit the type of transitions that are in the pack (basically I thought about who would buy this transition pack and what they would be filming) and then I found which clips would flow the best together and added the pack’s transitions. Then from there once I have the vibe of the shot and transition, I work on the sound design. And of course, send some drafts so I can make corrections if there’s something they don’t like. So from scratch! But obviously I’m not shooting those shots.
Freaktastic tutorial! Do you got a list of your favorite SFX sounds you use all the time with a link to purchase? Would help beginners enormously as there is such an overhelming selection to choose from :(
Thank you so much! I do not unfortunately :/ My advice to you is to download some free sound effects on RUclips, maybe pick up a sound effect pack from Horizons (I think it's called), and Evince. Those last two are pretty cheap and solid and the first one is free. The other alternative is to get an Artlist membership and use the SFX on there. If you do go that route, I'd really appreciate it if you'd go through my link! 👊
@@dylanjohndickerson Thank you for your reply, much appreciated. I already have an artlist account but it's quite overhelming for a newbie to go through if you really don't know what to look for. Sounds weird I know but I really need to figure out when to use a Whoosh, Riser, Strike and all the other terms lol (I am not a native english speaker). That's when I thought some kind of basic SFX pack to get you started would be cool. I will have a look at the two you mentioned. I need more stuff laters and will go through your links and make sure to sign up with them :) Have a merry christmas and a happy new year 🎉🥂
Ahh the track name? It's called Big Leagues by Vic Sage and it can be found on Artlist. This is an affiliate link, but you get two months free, if you're interested: geni.us/Artlist2freemonths
Another extremely "inspirational" video Dylan! And I say "inspirational" because I think my biggest takeaway from this video is that mixing sound effects is more an art than science. I've literally made a note to refer back to this video and search for the sound effects based on their names for my next project. But I'm assuming it took months (if not years) to have a sense of the "type" of effect that would go well with a visual?
Thanks a ton, Jeff! You're right. It's absolutely an art. I've found it really creatively fulfilling to play around with different sounds to see if they work. And no, I wouldn't say so! So long as there's some type of noise that's matched up at the right time with the flash or the wipe or whatever transition you're using, it'll usually work. Our minds expect to hear something when we see it, so by putting a sound effect at the exact time that the visual happens, it helps everything to flow and it doesn't necessarily have to be a sound that matches up perfectly.
Haha thank you so much, Dennis 🙏 That means a lot. Ya definitely! Have you watched my in depth sound design tutorial by chance? I don't go over mixing with dialogue but I go over mixing sfx adjusting levels ruclips.net/video/CgMaU5QmpNc/видео.html Try this one if you find your voice audio clashes with your music: ruclips.net/video/dp6Uv0rphPg/видео.html
Hey Pierce! Typically I try and start them off at the level, but sometimes I just get lazy or forget 😅 When that happens and when I layer my SFX a bunch, my levels peak. So what I do there is just throw the entire project into a compound clip and add a limited on that compound clip. That way my audio isn’t going above 0dB on export
@@dylanjohndickerson So do you try to keep sound effects at a certain dB above or below music? Or let's say you had dialogue. Do you keep the sound effects at say -12dB and the dialogue at like -6dB?
@@PierceJPeterson That all depends. For example I'm working on a piece now where the music should trump the sound effects. But yes, in that last example, that's a good template. Then from there, you can raise those sound effects that you want to stand out a bit more. Also, I tend to have my voice audio at around -2 if it's not a super 'sound design intensive' video. Just play around with it but watch your levels.
@@dylanjohndickerson Okay so just to make sure I understand: In a video where you just had a talking head and occasional sound effects, you would have your dialogue at around -2dB and the sound effects around -10 to -12dB?
Damn, your sound design game is mad crazy sir💥 no wonder you mentioned that it's your most fun and creative session for you. I'm learning much from your efforts
Will do brotha! And if you're interested in joining the waitlist for my sound design course, you can sign up on my site 🤙🏼 www.dylanjohndickerson.com/courses
That makes me very happy to hear, Bhrisha 😊 I don't, but that's a great topic that I've been meaning to dive into. I'll see if I can cook something up in the near future.
Incredible video! My channel is mainly makeup tutorials and product reviews though. I’m dying to spice them up with sound design, no idea how though. A whoosh as I swipe blush on my cheeks?? Lol yep, very bad example. Idk, will keep looking for inspiration. Thanks for this video!
Hey Fabi! haha ya that's a tough one for sure. What you could do is a cinematic sequence to start the video. Like close ups on turning on the lights, opening your makeup drawer, and doing makeup things haha. Then the tutorial starts. That way people are like DAMN! That's a quality intro for a makeup tutorial. And they're more likely to hit subscribe.
@@dylanjohndickerson yess! I love the idea of an intro sequence like you mentioned. It’ll do a lot to set the tone re the quality of the video. And it will also set me apart from the competition. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!
This is one thing that totally separates the professional editor from the amateur. Putting the time in and thinking "How you can make this better?" Just adding layers of sound and depth. Not only the visual edits. Thanks Dylan! I literally step up my game after watching your videos and learning new techniques!
Hey Scott! Your comment means a lot, man 🙏 I do put a ton of time into what I create. To the point where sometimes it's almost obsessive. It makes my day to hear I'm helping you step up your skills 👊 Thank you for taking the time to comment and let me know. Sorry I took so long to reply!
Heard "Whitney" on the track and there she popped onto the screen. That's why we do what we do as editors - immerse the viewer all the way. Great work, my man! 👍
That's right, Toyin! The edit is everything! A story and an idea can easily fall a part and flow can be squandered if the editor doesn't get it right. Thanks for watching and commenting man 🙏

Thank you so much! 😊 I appreciate that!
Hit em with the BOOOM!! 💜 Great work dude
Thank so much! 😊 Really glad you enjoyed it!
CRUSHING IT, per usual, with your sound design. You are a MAGICIAN, friend. 🪄🎩
Yo thanks, Matthew! 😄 I’ll try and keep the magic tricks rolling. I loved your new video man. That probably was a lot of fun putting together.
Great video bro. Definitely one of the best tutorials I’ve seen on cinematic sound design. Do you do this after you have edited the video?
Thanks Aaron! Ehh it depends. Sometimes I'm too excited to do sound design so I'll jump on a section early on. Other times I'll wait till after, yes.
This is super cool! love the trailer.
Glad you liked it brotha! Thanks for watching 👊
The music is enough to keep me haha but then the information is priceless, you are so good to share all this ! Head bobbing now
Thanks so much, Dénes! I really appreciate that 🙏🏼

Very nice, Your channel is underrated. Quick question, Is all the video footage from stock? Or did you film most of that..?
Thanks so much! 😄 most of the footage on my channel is my own footage, but this trailer I made for MotionVFX is from stock footage.
keren ihh..terima kasih👍👍😊
