You are the only person that speaks on sound design and it’s helpful THANK YOU!

[TruJuLoMedia]

Wow. Thank you for showing the examples of each layer. It’s so helpful to see the differences. Implementing!

[PierceJPeterson]

I've been waiting for this video man! It definitely lived up to the hype. Questions: 1) Where do you get your sound effects from? Audio design desK? 2) How do you know how loud to set your risers, hits, drones, etc. 3) How loud do you typically set music when there is no dialogue on top of it? Thanks bro!

[TheFinalCutBro]

Just gonna say it. That thumbnail is the key that got me to click. So dang good dude!! Okay watching the video now

[TheFinalCutBro]

Absolutely nailed this video dude. So clear and such exceptional tips!!

[fpst]

Since I bought Final Cut lately I can use the included sound effects now as well. Can’t wait to work with these.

[Brad_West]

Great tips Dylan! Love that tip from Brandon Li, so good! Sooo many golden nuggets in here man. Also so stoked to see you using ADD as well. An absolute game changer for sound design for sure! 🔥🤘🏼

Couldn't agree more, sound effects like risers, whooshes and impacts make a huge difference.

[Daxhenri]

Hey Dylan, these videos are super helpful. Thanks so much for being an amazing resource. Random question. In this video at 9:41 seconds. I'm trying to find where I can get that style of moving grain and scratches you have going in the background. Kinda looks like old static on a TV.

[Paulsonjc]

Loved your tips. I have checked all the boxes for completion. I would love to play more with sound design. Sound designing is my favorite part of video editing. I just love when there are so many layers all color-coded, neatly organized final cut pro timeline. Hope I can win your giveaway. Thanks anyways for all the videos.

This was class at 3
2minutes 56 seconds or 3mins 4 seconds in the video how did you do the film poster with the smoke (overlay) is that just a freeze frame? Looks like a film poster

[vibestate]

before you got to explain the drones . iwas trying to wonder do they make drones for sound capturing too

[BryansMusings]

Bro, I've tried this, but when exporting, it goes back to stereo - 2 channels, as compared to 5.1 output. Any suggestions...?

[roxc.]

most people got sotNice tutorialng from tNice tutorials video. Much love!

[zelkuth]

A big downside (for me) is that when I open ADD I can’t hear the audio from
Fcpx, so I can’t really know where I am in my video (or what’s going on). It’s like creating a sound design on a mute film (very impractical).
Unless I’m missing something 😅
