Also: The first two weeks of principal had to be reshot as they recast Marty McFly!

Just finished watching the film at an MPSE event in Toronto with Scott in attendance…still a great looking and sounding film that engaged the audience entirely. Thanks to the MPSE and Vaughan International Film Festival for a great evening.

MPSE in Toronto! Finally!

‘House of the Dragon’ Sound Designer Used Seals, Pigs, Birds and Infants to Give the Creatures ‘Beautiful Voices Even in Death’ "It’s honoring the legacy of these dragons to find their...beautiful voices even in death,” says "House of the Dragon' sound designer Paula Fairfield

Some dragon talk. #houseofthedragon #HOTD #sounddesign

Understood, thanks. I don’t feel quite so archaic! Is your SM / Radium Scratch recorder directory a permanently referenced folder in one of your SM databases or, at the end of a film, do you take the time to tidy it up and re-folder the “keepers” elsewhere? My Radium record folder overfloweth!

Either way, do you simply rely on the default file naming out of Radium for those “temporary” sounds (which, I appreciate, can now be used more methodically with Radium UCS naming in 6.2)?

I struggle with quickly ending up with many auto-named SM REC files from Radium to later sort through.

Thx!

Do you allow newly recorded radium elements to show up in your SM database (as they do by default) and then spot them to your PT timeline from SM to continue working on them?

Or do you have a script of some type that sends the new sounds to PT from a Finder folder?

Tim, if I may, I have a question about your workflow unrelated to the 6.2 update.

At 01:05:15 in your video you mention something a practice that I also have: Using Radium to create “source material” that you then bring into PT to work with further.

I’m curious about your workflow in doing so.

I'm not here much, but I have released a new Soundminer v6.2 Update video covering most of the main new features in this new version. It's free, about an hour long and anyone who would like can download it at tinyurl.com/ycy4j6h7.

Given that those machines can’t be upgraded by users (if I recall correctly), I would put as much RAM in as you can afford.

Also, in our labs, I used the old rule of keeping picture files on a separate bus/volume. We stored QuickTimes on the internal drive and PT sessions/media on external volumes.

Pro Tools? Once you add picture, it will start to strain.

In 20+ years of teaching, the greatest challenges I had with students using their own machines were traced back to the *other* things they will do with those machines. Conflicting software, installing Media Composer *and* ProTools, etc.

@larsenonfilm.bsky.social Hmph…Knicks! (…and Pacers! Hello? 2000 ECF calling…)

Synculator A Swiss Army Knife of tools for musicians, by Stevie J Jones

Just a little reminder that I built this musical toolbox Synculator - all kinds of helpful calculations for producers and musicians like delay times, MIDI note chart, Hz to bpm, metronome etc. synculator.stevejones.music

Congratulations, Frank. The track was wonderful, a perfect compliment to the entire film and one of my favourites of last year. Well done!

When I first read this, I saw “whiners” as “winners”. Both words make a true sentence. (At least recent history.)

Ahhhhhh yes…the Newsletters. Entirely sensible! Too much so for me, I guess. Thanks very much.

@larsenonfilm.bsky.social Hello Josh…FFamily member here. New to Discord…how do I join the Family server?

Thanks!

We have a chain of book stores here in Canada (“Indigo”…similar to Barnes & Noble) that seems to always do right by Yalebooks. When I was doing my post-grad, they seemed to always have what I was looking for or could get it quickly. I was pleased to see yours listed as “pre-orderable”!

Pre-ordered!

Sympathies to you, Tim. Don’t beat yourself up too much. I bet that Don was chuffed to be able to follow the progress of your career and that your successes brought him great happiness. Our industry is better for what Don brought to it and you continue his legacy with your own efforts and skills.

Potluck Ladies, a TV series I scored, is nominated for two Canadian Screen Awards this year - Best Drama Series and Best Writing in a Drama Series!

If you’re an Academy member, perhaps consider voting for it? 😇
