Dialogue editing changed my production thought process

John, Congratulations...

Hah!!!

You think editing exposes every minute error?

Wait till it gets to the Dubstage.

This!

I ordered the new edition a few days ago. Looking forward to expand my sound editing practice. Will be a good opportunity to decide whether three or four copies will be enough for Uncle Herbert Micro pocket travel editions and refrigerator size is a must.

The second edition of Dialogue Editing for Motion Pictures came out a couple of weeks ago. I'll take a little rest now. Who’d have thought a second edition could take so long (17 months)? Evidently I got ambitious, but I think it turned out well.

 

If you’d like to know how the new edition differs from the first, let me know on the forum and I’ll do my best to help you decide if you’ll benefit from the new one. Naturally, the short answer is “Of course, buy it,” but that doesn’t really do much for my credibility.

 

Remember, though, Christmas is coming. What better gift for Uncle Herbert, to whom you've given a lifetime's worth of ties and handkerchiefs, than three or four copies of a book about film production sound.? He’ll be speechless, which may be just what you want from him.

 

This is certainly at the top of my "To be acquired" list.  As fall starts to come around, so does the mass of Sundance projects, and I'm hoping to be back in the studio quite a lot over the next few months.

C-loop.

If the clip is real short, it starts to sound mechanical. But with five or six good seconds you can fill almost anything.

if it's really too short, you can always expand it with the "convolution reverb" technique. It works quite well and sometimes is quicker than assembling bits of RT and looping them

How do you go about that? I've never done it but have done plenty of dialog editing.

short answer: apply a convolution reverb to white noise and use you RT as the IR.

the great thing about this technique is that they're no looping artifacts and you can use very short RT samples

Thanks! It's so "obvious" now that I think about it.
