I am starting a new Quick Sound Design video.

Realistic footsteps don't work for all art styles for animation & video games. Knowing how to make footsteps that aren't realism but still sound like footsteps can be tricky business!

The entertainment industries are on fire & more than ever indies have no money to contract people like me for services due to cost of living crisis.

That said, does anyone have any requests for a tutorial? Let me know so I can be useful

YouTube video by Polarity Audio Works [Quick Sound Design] - Snow Footstep Sound Effects

I'm bringing back my Quick Sound Design video series. First up is snow footstep sound effects without using snow. Great for animations or video games:

Does the keyboard have midi out only or 1/4 inch inst out? Or is it usb

It's an echo chamber on steroids. People who don't realize this when they come across a different perspective than what they've been conditioned to have a meltdown instead of critical thought. Imo it's contributing to the brain rot

If interested there's lots of their stuff on Tubi and YouTube. It's a good time 😆
Laurel & Hardy stuff has been a bit harder to find

Last year was Abbott and Costello. Watched everything they made haha

Darn no Andriod version

I just recently got into Laurel and Hardy via Tubi. They are so funny!

Yup nothing can fix a performance but an engineer can definitely compliment it 😉

Your master is only as strong as your mix. Your mix is only as strong as the composition

Everything works in tandem

No one cares about audio until there's a noticeable issue with audio cuz no one cared about audio

Are there agents for audio engineers? If not, someone should get on that cuz you'd make a killing. Most of us are sound gremlins that suck at marketing ourselves

Me looking at my bank account after paying bills

Proton Experimental more times than not gets unsupported games working. It's amazing

I love my SD and it's basically permanently docked to use mouse and keyboard. With the 🤬 that is win 11 I don't want a gaming PC nor fiddle with Linux on a PC. Steam OS is easy to use that even I can troubleshoot as needed. Would eventually get a GabeCube 😆

Not sure how to interpret this... 😅

a black Friday promo image for dialog editing and mixing for video games

Hey #indiedev I'm running an early Black Friday promo for dialog editing/mixing.

If you have voiced lines the edit/mix quality can make or break the player experience. Let me help you get the best results possible!
#indiegame #audio #editing #mixing

These days you have to take the little wins when you get them. My ears are so locked in right now that -24lufs for a broadcast mix needs no loudness correction assistance

would love a labeler for film sound and animation sound 🙃

Either that or outright fake

Always a casting call, never a sound call 🥲

I like using RX's Ambience Match to paste over little noises sometimes if it's not over crucial voice frequency content

Ah yea forgot about Clear lol

I know of the pencil draw trick but I'm too slow with that method. Much faster in RX for manual and automatic de clicking

I personally prefer dx revive and clarity vx for just NR tools.

I haven't thought about it but I suppose I could

The unmix noisy dialog module is great for completely ripping out noise and most transient noises but I can then export those noises onto a blank clip to keep pfx or if I need to keep some tone I can control its level in a separate layer but send it glued back

SLP: comically bad de-clicking but great unmix modules and manual spectral repair

RX Advanced: comedically bad NR, great de-clicking but more detailed spectrogram

I wish there was a one size fits all tool for dialogue work but I still have to flip between SpectraLayers Pro and RX Advanced due to one doing something better than the other

As I'm doing adjudication for an #audiodrama festival it's baffling how many are compressing the 🤬 out of their master that it sounds overbaked/crispy/distorted

Don't do that. You're ruining all your hard work of sound designing, #editing and #mixing by crisping the overall tone
