- Splice is a website that lets you not only purchase individual sound files and music samples, but you can also make use of their "rent-to-own" system of paying off a plugin or even entire DAW from their growing library of products. Tony paid for his copy of Studio One from PreSonus via the rent-to-own program on Splice.
- I'm not sure if there is a cost to have a membership on the site (I don't think so, but cannot quite remember) - so check it out if it sounds like something you'd find useful.
The spot that Tony mixed live in class that everyone was encouraged and welcome to contribute ideas to can be listened to and/or downloaded from my Google Drive here.
Sound Design & Foley - Making your own sound effects when you can’t find the right one!You can check out this video after class from Wired - "How This Woman Creates God of War's Sound Effects" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFVLWo5B81w
Alex Knickerbocker - Short, succinct videos we highly recommend our students watch!Alex is an audio engineer that works in the film & tv industry, working on dialogue editing and a range of other interesting jobs, as well as having been working in audio post processing in general for many years.
His approach to explaining the concepts he makes videos on is to give only the information that is needed so you don’t get distracted or confused by fluff.
Neth has put together a YouTube playlist of what they’ve called, "Neth's Extended List of Alex Knickerbocker's videos," being a collection of videos specifically relevant to the Audio & Demo Engineering courses - and the concepts contained within - taught at Closing Credits.
Here are a couple of other videos from Alex that were relevant to some conversations that were had during this week’s class:
- “How to Get Professional Podcast Audio on a Budget” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufCRJtNc5vU
- “$1300 vs $269 Microphone: Lewitt LCT 440 Pure or Neumann TLM103?” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyKYW6qwFwM
