I'm starting to use Logic Pro to do sound design for audiovisuals. I've used other DAW's before but I'm just getting started with Logic. I'm having a problem because when I open the project from my folder or from within Logic, it only opens the video, it doesn't open the entire project file. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

I have licensed logic and in version 11.0.1

Im a beginner COMPLETE i already copped some books on mixing audio (art of digatal audio recording)(mixing audio concepts practices and tools)(the mixing engineer hand book 5th edition bobby owisinki)

Im gonna finish those books of course first going back and fourth etc not gonna be good

Reason i want to learn is so i can have a more analytical understanding of how audio frequencies affect of freq etc i dont know the words but want to learn all the stuff because why not have the knowledge better then not

Also because my favorite producer designs his own sounds for alot of his beats(the alchemist)

So in the movie I’m working on rn, in the end there are people on a parking space and a meteor hits the earth. I want a big boom 💥 when the there is the black screen as last scene. But all the explosion sounds I can find are clipping as fuk. Ofc I can just reduce the clip gain, but I want it to be loud and effective for the audience. How can I do that?

Hello guys,

I would like to create myself a portfolio in order to show my work to potential futur clients and I would like to have some advice on how to make a good one.

In order to have enough material to show, I'm actually working on some short scenes of popular sci fi movies (I would like to specialize myself in sci fi sound design) and first I would like to ask if you think it's fine to show this but only the sound design part, so there is no foley or voice in the video. Is it relevant or it'll be showing an incomplete work ?

Also, I'm taking any advice in order to make a good portfolio, would love to see some too for inspiration.

Thanks for your time reading my sub, and I wish you all a great day/evening.

Hi all! I study stage management and technical theatre at university and I’m doing a research project in neurodiversity in technical theatre and stage management. If you could fill out this survey neurotypical or neurodiversity that would help me a lot! Thanks!

So I have a scene, there are 3 characters in a cafe. I did put spectral denoise on the dialog because there was too much noise. Now I put a room tone under everything from a library in stereo. In general, should the room tone I add be in stereo or mono? I mean I want to give the room much space so stereo no? Otherwise I’m thinking the room tone that normally a boom operator is recording on sets, is mono.

The movie is kind of an apocalypse kinda thing so there are no other people in the cafe. I’m already added some music running in the background out of a radio. How else can I give the scene more life if I only have 1 room tone in mono? Thank y’all!

Hello!

Been watching those New Balance "Grey Days" ads and they're really something special. While they likely used analog gear for their sound design, I'm looking to recreate that lo-fi audio quality in DaVinci Resolve. The grainy 16mm look pairs perfectly with their distressed audio treatment.

Does anyone have experience achieving this kind of degraded, warm sound using Fairlight or plug-ins in Resolve? Could be through EQ curves, bit crushing, or maybe some tape emulation?

Thank you!

What's the best mic for foley design under 200 USD?

Okay so I'm making a video essay for uni about the sound design in the quiet place. I've picked the scene where Evelyn gives birth in the bath tub and i want to find out how the sound designs created the screeches for the death angels as well as the sound the banister makes when the death angels walks up the stairs during the bath tub scene. Basically any of the sound design for the monsters that I'm not about to mention is something I'm very interested in. I've looked online but all I've found is the Foley methods they used for the echo location of the death angels, the walking, and the ear opening. Other than that I've found nothing.

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough but if someone can point me in the right direction toward any resources or videos/interviews that speak about this.

When listening to the voice recording in this teaser from Longlegs, the audio has this vintage and crackly quality. Does anyone know how to recreate this and what software specifically?

specifically the main melody part of this song, it sounds simple but im struggling to create sounds like this

Force Theory - Bright Lights

How do you guys manage dialogue in your projects? Currently, I'm using a track-per-character setup, where I split the original on-set audio by scene and character, color-code the clips to identify each of character, and use a send to route the on-set audio to the correct character track. Is this effective, or is there a better way to handle dialogue organization?

I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit, but it's worth a shot. Can anyone tell me what sound this is? I hear it all the time but can't find it. Thanks! https://youtu.be/47xXeyaBjc0

I know sound design is unfathomably difficult to perfect, but GOD DAMN! You can always add a muffle "effect" or whatever its called for audio to make the inside feel like THE INSIDE. I'm playing Forza and the interior sounds exactly like as if I had all of my windows open, except the windshield is open too. This is the first time I've ever posted in this subreddit and I don't know anything about audio but even I am sure that creating sounds is hard, but adding muffle is not. Have yall ever noticed this too?

I am trying to located the "ding" sound effect in this clip from the PS2 videogame Godhand from 2006. I'm fairly sure that they mostly used sound libraries of the time for all the fighting and comedic sound effects (for example him flying through the air is a royalty free jet sound), but I'm still not sure where to find this "ding" sound for the sparkle. Any help would be appreciated!

Need to know if anyone has ideas on this sound? there’s been over 50 guesses. it sounds like it could almost be a paper cutter, but it’s not.

I mean especially the first 20 seconds of this track. Most captivating synth sound I've heard in my entire life tbh
Also do you think it's analog or can it be done via soft synth?

Hey all,

I’m in my mid-40s and have been working professionally as an audio engineer and music producer since the late 1990s—essentially my entire career. I’ve built a broad skill set, including:

• Producing, recording, and mixing music
• Dialog recording and editing (tons of it)
• Live sound mixing and broadcast audio (A1 and A2 roles)
• Arena sound for college basketball
• Building and wiring recording and radio station studios (analog and AOIP)
• Sound designing interactive installation art
• Sound design, editing, and mixing for documentaries and short films

I’ve accumulated 28-29 years of hands-on experience but limited formal education—aside from Pro Tools user certification and a few credits from Berklee.

My Goal: I’m looking to break into sound work for films and shows, particularly in sci-fi, action, and animation. I’m ready to invest heavily in myself to achieve this, but I’m weighing options: getting a BS in Audio, pursuing an Atmos certification, or another path.

My Question: Do you work in the film industry? I’d love any real insight into the best steps to shift my focus toward film sound design. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

hi all, long term lurker first time poster.

am making some sound design and the character turns demonic and transforms into a big, gurgly horrible monster. i want to create like a big parasite bursting out of the skin / chest cavity sound to initiate the 'transformation' if that makes sense. any ideas would be amazing!

i've got some skin stretching (twisting an old leather jacket - thank you to another thread), pumpkin guts and eating a carrot for guts and bones breaking already.

thank u in advance

Hello, I’m 22-year-old Italian and I’d like to approach the world of sound design professionally. Currently, I work part-time, and I’m looking for an online course (a degree would be even better). However, I’m also willing to relocate within Piedmont or Lombardy in Italy. I’d also love to hear about your experiences and what studies you’ve undertaken. Thank you very much! (If you know of any subreddits where I could repost this, please let me know!)
