This is one of the most underrated channels on audio. Things that you learn here, you won't find anywhere else!
Thanks Alex :)
Thanks for watching!!
Ok, who heard that EQ sweep as he talked about bad balance and EQ. That was great real world example.
Just found Alex´s channel a few days ago and my oh my...What I have learned these past few days is astonishing. Alex's voice makes it a lot more soothing too!
Great info, well explained.
Glad it’s helpful! More on the way soon
Thanks for the tips.👍🍹
Thanks for watching!
Excellent!
Thanks for watching Rick!!
I made a short film noir some years ago. We were going for a vintage 40s look and feel, and since foley wasn't really done in the 1940's, I was just going to pass on it. However, I dropped in one set of footsteps, just to see, and realized I was going to have to foley they whole damned thing. A lot of work, but worth it - glad we cheated. Foley really does fill out a scene.
I’d go so far as to say that foley is THE defining part of a soundtrack that brings a film to life the way viewers expect (but don’t understand on average).
And you’re right, as soon as you cover one piece, you realize just how much more work it’ll be 😂
Hey Alex! I've been watching your videos for a while and just wanted to thank you for your work, I've learned a lot from you and I'm planning to donate some of my first salary to support this channel, keep going man!
Thank you very much !
I just wanted to say I stumbled across your channel while trying to familiarize myself with narration post-processing and you have done wonders in deconstructing the ideas so I can make my stuff sound as good as possible AND understand why it sounds good.
Glad you’re finding some of the info helpful!! Thanks for watching, happy you found the channel!
Hi Alex,
I am Mike, a photographer just diving into the video world, and I think you're doing a great job for the community!
What microphone and recording device(s) would you recommend for creating [high quality] TV commercials?
Regards,
M
10 X thank you, Alex. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air, loaded with helpful insights that vibrate with LFE (low-frequency effect) born of your own long professional experience.
Thanks for the kind words!!
Awesome advice always! Thank you.
Another great video and I love your pro content as I begin getting more and more clients expecting "pro" results LOL
I hope they have the budgets to back up those expectations!!
Great tips, Alex, even for us half deaf amateurs.
Glad you’re getting some useful info from us half deaf professionals!! Haha
Someone, for the sake of god, send this video to the audio guys in netflix......
Great stuff! A tutorial going deeper into all the details of each of those tips would be gold! Show us step by step your approach to Eq, compression, laying foley to match picture, distance to camera mixing, proper workflow, organization, SFX, tricks, etc. Cheers :) 🤘
Ha, that’d be a huge video to try and cover all that the right way…I’ll see what I can do though!
Saw you first on Potato Jet ... subbed ... I watch as much as I can, a lot goes over my head, but I do glean a little from every one I watch. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Audio is definitely a cumulative art, the more you do it, the more you’ll learn, the better you’ll get!
Much more interesting shot composition on this one! Looks good, Alex.
Haha, thanks! Most of us post sound people aren’t even around cameras much, let alone in front of them… 😂
Watched Top Gun in the theatre recently and I was shocked that low end is completely missing everything sounded super-bright and border line tinny. Now got the digital copy and it's still the same. Do you think people no longer know what they are doing or are they tailoring crappy TV speakers in advance lol?
Thanks for the info, learnt so much from you even been working in sound industry for long.
I learn new stuff all the time too! Glad to be able to share it, thanks for watching!!
@@axk you’re one of the best audio teacher i ever seen in my life. I repeated this video twice and make sure I don’t miss out the details. Great sharing. Will save it to my favourite video.
Love your videos Alex. They're super-informative and always SOUND good! Quick question (don't mean to hijack the thread): You raved about your Neuman RSM-191 shotgun mic. I have one too and wondered if it's possible to custom wire it to work without the bulky matrix box. I'm cool with just going straight M/S into the deck. Your thoughts?
Hey Alex. Great video. The other day I saw a movie and they where playing tennis on a clay court and they put hard court tenis shoes squeeks when clay court sounds like walking over dirt.
That’s a great catch, and anyone who knows tennis and would watch a movie about tennis is immediately going to be taken out of the experience with something like that.
@@axk Yeah, I play tennis and had the same feeling when someone sings out of tune hahahahah.
EQ and Color Grading are "earned skills". Wisdom based.
Definitely skills that need to be honed and practiced over time!
Great
Hey Alex great tutorial, I agree with one of the comments, maybe an in-depth tutorial would be helpful. Much like the mixing template tutorial Kinda??? Second vote here buddy. :-)
sick vid
🙏🙏🙏
AWESOME video! Thank you!
If you allow me one question please, i'm putting togheter my first home studio to train my customers and eventually make some videos.
Between the Rode Procaster and the Sure SM7B (will use it with the Rode Caster Pro) for mostly voice, which one do you think is best?
Thanks in avance and sorry for my English; i"m still learning
Have a Productive and Healthy day!
Do you have a link to the components in your studio? Links to where I can buy them would be great. Mic, stand, keyboard, console, etc. Thanks.
It's worth the time to put a sync reference in and time the elements accurately.
Could you do a video explaining how to properly use the LFE channel in surround mixes? (I personally got really confused, because I initially thought that I should remove low end from the rest of the mix and just send it to the LFE, but that definitely did not sound right (not to mention that if you play a 5.1 or higher mix on a stereo device, most of the times the lfe channel will not be played). Then I thought that it might be useful to analyze the sound from a big budget film, but to me it seemed that the lfe channel contained sometimes some of low end frequencies from the other channels, but at a lower gain (usually 20% to 50%).
Thanks a lot.
Love your videos.
I can try! Most people are working in stereo, and youtube isn’t exactly 5.1 capable the way I’d hope so it’s hard to demonstrate…but I can certainly talk about it!
I always low pass anything I send to the LFE. Cleans up the mix in some cases, but more importantly doesn’t rely on client/audience playback systems to figure out what frequencies to play through it. And when you downmix from surround to stereo, the LFE channel will only bring low frequencies. Not a full bandwidth channel.
Hope that sort of makes sense!
👏🏾🙏🏾
I photographed performances of singers on stage. I recorded the sound directly from the console amplification system. With Tascam DR-40X. And I edit in DAVINCI RESOLVE
during the performance I get stereoTwo tracks. But in the sound recording device, it is on dual. One is high volume and the other is limited to minus 12. Then after recording, if everything is fine, I use only the high volume.Tell me Please if this is how it should be.
You are a professional. When recording sound from a console of a singer's performance. What should be the limit when recording sound from the board? Minus 6- Minus 3 Minus 12 DB or other?
And what should the sound limit be during video editing minus 6 DB, minus 3 DB or other?
Thanks
Makes me laugh. When I worked in a recording studio, every musician just wanted their instument louder. Back in the 80s.
So nothing’s changed then! 😂
@@axk i was an intern at Pasha music studio. Worked on a band called Quiet Riot if you are old enough to know hair metal.
Dude, Metal Health was one of my favorite songs growing up. That’s awesome!
Alex, this would be even better if you insert clips demonstrating the points you're making.
LFE? Low frequency eMITER? Interesting
It would have been nice just to hear more sample sounds of what you are talking about. I'm just asking.... Yes I did hear what sounded like one test sound.
I was recently watching a tutorial by a 'name' lighting company and it started with a guy at a piano which was very nice sounding and then someone came up to him and the dialogue was overpowered by the piano that he was still playing. I stopped watching. I thought, how low budget can you people be?
youtubers often put loud music in the intro while the dialogue (or rather, monologue) is too quiet. I always thumb down such videos.
