  • good in theory!

    great concept! i love the intention of this podcast and have learned a lot but the older episodes are SO hard to listen to. the host talks over and constantly interrupts the women he has on, asking questions and then practically answering for them. meanwhile he lets the men ramble themselves to oblivion. could be much more respectful. i have yet to listen to newer material so (hopefully) this may have changed

  • Not all podcasts have migrated

    All episodes from Sound Works Collection were going to be migrated however the current list is spotty. I’m waiting for my favorite episode from 2/2017 to be copied over.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

309 - The Sound of Battlefield 6
Q: Can you speak a bit more about mixing in Dolby Atmos and how that changed things, what that brought to the game?
The team used an 8.1.4.4 channel mix as its foundation, allowing detailed spatial placement and more control per channel before creating custom downmixes for supported speaker setups, stereo and headphones.
309 - The Sound of Battlefield 6
Q: How did you change the sound from previous versions of Battlefield, and what did you keep from previous Battlefields?
The team kept the raw, gritty and authentic modern-war aesthetic while using increased memory and processing power to make the audio more complex, adaptive and responsive to the game environment.
307 - Walter Murch on the Languages of Film Editing and Sound Design
Q: How does your approach to ingesting material differ from a narrative film to a documentary?
Murch says scripted films offer many interpretations of a limited set of events, while unscripted documentaries may contain hundreds of hours of material in which events happen only once. Documentary editors work with directors to select scenes and shape the story, effectively writing it through images and sound.
307 - Walter Murch on the Languages of Film Editing and Sound Design
Q: Can you talk a little bit about your explorations in translation and the crosstalk between translation and editing?
Murch sees editing as translation: the editor turns the screenplay into the symbolic languages of images and sound, choosing between what words communicate most efficiently and what audiovisual storytelling can express without words.
308 - Olivia Wilde and Adam Newport-Berra on the Cinematography of The Invite
Q: How did you approach coverage once you rehearsed? Would you block with stand-ins? In general, how loose versus planned was the construction of each scene?
Wilde and Newport-Berra describe discussing scenes and visual references in advance, then developing blocking and shot ideas with the actors during brief rehearsals. They did not use a fixed shot list, instead prioritizing performances and compositions as they emerged on set.
