  • Love the breadth

    Coming to this podcast from the perspective of an exhibitor, I’m enjoying the breadth of topics. From the depth of discussion about films that we show in-cinema, through to random practical experiences like recording roller-coasters; there’s something for everyone.

    Thanks for the production effort (and to all those who volunteer to mix); keep up the great work!

  • A new favourite!

    Having a passion for indie film and creating my own projects, I came across the tonebenders podcast and have hugely enjoyed listening. They educate and entertain at the same time, they speak to some of the best people in the industry and glean insight that’s impossible to get from books.

    Highly worth subscribing to if you interested in sound design, game audio, indie film audio, sound post and so many more fields.

    Thank you to all involved.

  • Glittering Mountains of Knowledge

    I really love this show. As a sound artist/improvising musician attempting to transition into working in sound for other media, this podcast has been a true education, as well as a source of great pleasure. The podcast has been a balm for troubled ears, especially during this pandemic, as I am currently working overnight at a grocery store, and am doing a deep dive into the show's archives via headphones while stocking shelves (there is plenty of toilet roll, you needn't worry, it arrives nightl... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

305 - Becoming Led Zeppelin
Q: How did you decide which versions of Led Zeppelin records to use for the film?
We confirmed early in our process that vinyl records provided significant advantages in sound quality and representation of what was originally heard, as the master tapes often have qualities that differ from the final vinyl versions.
305 - Becoming Led Zeppelin
Q: How did this film come to be that the band was on board and part of the project?
The director Bernard and producer Alison had previously worked on a project together, American Epic, which focused on early sound recording that got the attention of the band, making them more receptive to this new documentary.
304 - The Listeners
Q: What do you mean by spider cue?
It's just a little cue that Dev, the composer, had written for a certain scene in Episode 1, and it had an uneasy feeling, which we placed in context to create a sense of unease.
304 - The Listeners
Q: How did you approach that scene?
We spent a lot of time trying to figure out how this constant thing could be, that's just slightly beyond reach, involving various treatments to give it a location that wasn't clear.
304 - The Listeners
Q: Steve, I would love it if you could take me through your process from your early conversations with the series director, Janek Sabravo, to how you ended up with what we hear in the final mix.
The process began in early conversations with Janek Sabravo, where we talked about annoying household sounds, environmental sounds, and how they'd evolve over the course of the story, focusing on how the hum shifts with Claire's feelings.
