the movie UP is always a good example Gene

It’s as though Alex was made in a lab to teach audio… his poise, pace and candor are exquisite.

He has a gift for conveying ideas with perfect economy; distilling complex issues to their essence.

Bravo 👏🏻

Damn, I can't stop laughing when he brings up "UP" movie. Gene's face is so priceless 🤣

[ddames]

Wow. Never would’ve thought I’d spend half an hour watching a video on sound design. But this was amazing! As someone constantly trying to be better as a video producer for my on channel, this was extremely informative and helpful. Great job editing too and putting visual ques to assist in understanding some of these concepts 🙏🏽

i've been waiting for this video for so long. Loved the previous one with Alex. He's voice is like caramel melting.

[marsgizmo]

love this collab with Alex! wonderful insights!

[FenceOnAWall]

The UP integration, that was brilliant. And it makes sense with the theme too. Bravo

[phucmapvlog]

A previous video you did with Alex literally shaped recent "Audio Adjustments". That dude is legit.

I love it when you bring Alex on! He brings so much knowledge, explains sound so well and makes it entertaining. Love the sound layered in the video alongside as well

[Athandatu]

The “unsubscribe” intro was so funny. Very Potato Jet

[ChrisParayno]

Love these deep dives into topics with professionals, not just youtube people's thinking they are film makers.

[ErisedMediaCo]

You know what’s so funny… I’m actually an audio engineer (although I haven’t worked in the field in some time), and I totally forgot about the concept of room tone. It really is SO helpful when something is dialogue heavy to capture room tone!

[MuazOsman]

an amazing episode!
love how this video has some awesome great sound design as well that explains everything that's talked about

[amplifydreality]

Love Alex's input. As an up and coming sound designer and production recordist it's great to hear from pros this type of stuff. Great video! (as usual)

[ChudsBbq]

As an audio engineer / bbq YouTuber I found all of this fascinating

[LarryFlaxman]

Very helpful info, thanks for sharing! Will definitely utilize some of the tips to up my game.

[soubhiksaha]

This was really so much information-packed, but also a special mention to the editor of this video. Sam/Gene/Dylan did a great job adding those sound effects and visuals on top of this. Looks great, sounds great!

[radiozelaza]

As for ADR, Polish movies were notorious for it because filmmakers could not record good audio on set usually (for whatever reason). And we were subjected to all these obvious replaced dialogues which sounded artificial and bizarre.

[FenceOnAWall]

The sound design stuff and the animations as the concepts were being explained, it's just so good

I totally agree, audio is basically more important than visuals. Might be biased cause I started as an audio engineer though 😄
