I've been waiting for this video man! It definitely lived up to the hype. Questions: 1) Where do you get your sound effects from? Audio design desK? 2) How do you know how loud to set your risers, hits, drones, etc. 3) How loud do you typically set music when there is no dialogue on top of it? Thanks bro!
1. Add comes with some pre-installed packs (kinda mehhh in my opinion) and also give extra free packs or you can buy addons (and I’m pretty sure you can add in its library the FCpX effects too) 2. Either from the app itself, or when you import them in fcpx you treat them as groups or as you like (to adjust volumes)
Hell ya, Pierce! I'm glad you enjoyed it, man. So I've gotten sound effects from a TON of places, but I only know maybe 10% of what I've got 😅 I tend to use the same sounds and need to put in an effort to branch out more. I've gotten sounds from Artlist, Horizon Sounds, Evince Sound Effect Pack, Audiio SFX, ADD SFX, and very recently I had a subscriber gift me their entire library of SFX. If I were you, I'd start with Evince SFX. It's an inexpensive, high quality pack. You can also enter the giveaway and receive ADD's SFX packs for free! 2) Ehhh that totally depends on the situation. I kind of just feel it out. I subconsciously ask myself 'is the riser, hit or drone overbearing in the mix? Is it drawing too much attention to itself and not just assisting the visuals the way it should be? If I had to give you a more definitive answer, I'd say I usually sets hits louder and risers at a lower volume. If your riser is too loud, it can become distracting. I can't really give you exact decibel numbers because it changes and to be honest, I'm not sure what I set them to on average. I'll start paying attention to that when editing though 🤙🏼 3) If there's no dialogue and the music is the most important in the mix, maybe I'll set it to -3 or so. If I really want the sound design to stand out, let's say for a trailer about transitions, I'll set the music a few decibels lower and raise the SFX to be a bit louder. Sometimes my mix will end up peaking so I'll have to create a compound clip of the entire timeline and add a limiter. You can combat this by just starting everything lower than you think and then raising the audio that you want to stand out more. This is definitely the better way to do it, but too often I start all my SFX way too loud because I don't expect to layer so much. You'd think I'd learn by now 😅
Great tips Dylan! Love that tip from Brandon Li, so good! Sooo many golden nuggets in here man. Also so stoked to see you using ADD as well. An absolute game changer for sound design for sure! 🔥🤘🏼
Thanks so much duder! I’m glad you found some things helpful 😊 and that tip from Brandon is certainly gold. That dude is pure wisdom. Thanks for the love brotha 👊🏼
Hey Dylan, these videos are super helpful. Thanks so much for being an amazing resource. Random question. In this video at 9:41 seconds. I'm trying to find where I can get that style of moving grain and scratches you have going in the background. Kinda looks like old static on a TV.
Hey Dylan! I just discovered your channel and I love it, quality is amazing. Couldn't agree more, sound effects like risers, whooshes and impacts make a huge difference.
This is tutorial is Soooooo dope… the Drone SFX really brings out the importance of the scene!!! Great Breakdown @DylanJohn… like always!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 Also… I will check out #ADD
Loved your tips. I have checked all the boxes for completion. I would love to play more with sound design. Sound designing is my favorite part of video editing. I just love when there are so many layers all color-coded, neatly organized final cut pro timeline. Hope I can win your giveaway. Thanks anyways for all the videos.
I mean, you *_have_* to be the best sound design / sound effects RUclipsr out there, right? Always impressed with your skill, talent, and experience with this. Great video! 🤘🏻🙌🏻
Wow 🤩 Thanks so much, brochacho! I don't think I am, but I've definitely improved over the past couple years. Thanks for the comment, Matthew. That means a lot to me 🤙🏼
This was class at 3 2minutes 56 seconds or 3mins 4 seconds in the video how did you do the film poster with the smoke (overlay) is that just a freeze frame? Looks like a film poster
Awesome video Dylan! Glad to see Audio Design Desk is helping your sound design workflow! I am one of the sound designers for A.D.D and its always awesome to see others experience our product!
A big downside (for me) is that when I open ADD I can’t hear the audio from Fcpx, so I can’t really know where I am in my video (or what’s going on). It’s like creating a sound design on a mute film (very impractical). Unless I’m missing something 😅
Hey Arts, on the Audio Bridge. Have you tried to drag your FCP project to the bridge? when you hover the project over the bridge, the feature "Send audio and session data" will become an option and should export the audio directly from FCP into ADD. Hopefully that helps out with the issue you are having!

@@dylanjohndickerson dude, you are ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks Rodolphe 😊
Absolutely nailed this video dude. So clear and such exceptional tips!!
Thanks so much homie! 👊❤
Bro, I've tried this, but when exporting, it goes back to stereo - 2 channels, as compared to 5.1 output. Any suggestions...?
So you're switching your project to surround? What are you exporting as? What format?
@@dylanjohndickerson I got to find out what was wrong. Wrong export format 🙂
This was class at 3
2minutes 56 seconds or 3mins 4 seconds in the video how did you do the film poster with the smoke (overlay) is that just a freeze frame? Looks like a film poster
Hey! So that's a plugin called mFreezeFrame Blockbuster from MotionVFX motionvfx.sjv.io/Vy5oEM
bruh this tutorial is incredible
Thanks so much! 😄
before you got to explain the drones . iwas trying to wonder do they make drones for sound capturing too
😄 Was I able to answer some of your questions in the video?
@@dylanjohndickerson you answered alot and taught me things i didn't know
@@vibestate254 Sweet 😊 That makes me happy to hear.
@@dylanjohndickerson much love, keep on inspiring and teaching us 🔥
@@vibestate254 Will do man 👊🏼
Awesome video Dylan! Glad to see Audio Design Desk is helping your sound design workflow! I am one of the sound designers for A.D.D and its always awesome to see others experience our product!
Hey Jon! Thanks for making such a cool product 🙏 It's really been helping out for big projects.
A big downside (for me) is that when I open ADD I can’t hear the audio from
Fcpx, so I can’t really know where I am in my video (or what’s going on). It’s like creating a sound design on a mute film (very impractical).
Unless I’m missing something 😅
Really? 🤔 Possibly a button is pressed to cause that to happen? Have you tried contacting the ADD support team? Mine works fine.
@@dylanjohndickerson hmmm I’ll check it out. It’s a bit overwhelming at first sight (specially on a laptop where everything gets cramped up)
Hey Arts, on the Audio Bridge. Have you tried to drag your FCP project to the bridge? when you hover the project over the bridge, the feature "Send audio and session data" will become an option and should export the audio directly from FCP into ADD. Hopefully that helps out with the issue you are having!
