I work in film sound design and love making soundflow shortcuts for everything. So I was thinking if people wanted to share their soundflow shortcuts and scripts, I'd be more than curious to see what you are working with.

37M sound editor from London:

I’m very close to applying for my ILR status in the UK next month and given the state of the tv/film industry and rising cost of living, I am highly considering a move away from London to drastically cut outgoings. At the same time there’s a fear of losing network proximity, momentum and visibility I’ve spent a few years building up from doing so, but staying here is brutal financially, and the same could be said about LA and NYC.

I’m planning on living and working remotely from somewhere like Morocco or Albania instead (on a similar time zone to the UK), where I can live for as little as £600 a month and I get to live in an apartment instead of a room in London.

Has anyone else in the industry made a similar move, and has it/did it work out?

Hey everyone. I’m hoping to build my portfolio as either a sound designer, dialogue editor, foley artist, composer, mixer or all of the above and I’m wondering if anyone knows of any other groups or forums that might be worth volunteering my services in? I’m based in Australia but open to international groups etc..

Thanks!

Hi! I’m working on dubbing mixing a short film at the moment and this is my first project post-university, hoping for a little insight from people with more experience. I was watching First Man (2018?) the other day and there’s a scene where a car passes behind the camera and we distinctly hear it to the rear of the mix. to the best of my knowledge (i was watching with headphones) that would be achieved with binaural panning for stereo, or sending to rear speakers in 5.1 or up. However, I was taught that stereo binaural panning has bad phase issues with larger speaker setups and to avoid sending things to rear speakers only in a setup. So my main question is - how did they achieve this? was I listening to a separate stereo mix? or am i missing something? If this is a stupid question forgive my naivety but any advice/tips would be appreciated! thanks ~ H

Welcome to the AudioPost Mine. There's going to be a lot of dirt but we hope for some gold too.

Do you think Pro Tools will offer any major discounts on annual subscriptions this year? They had some pretty big discounts around this time last year, but so far, it doesn’t seem like they’re doing the same thing this year.

I was just about to start a voice over recording and 3.9 didn't work. It's worked for like... 10+ years. The talent didn't have SC4 so I had to use the Gateway. I read a little bit about what happened(I have to get this mix out), but has anyone else been affected? Has anyone found a work around?

Hello! I'm an audio engineer who is becoming increasingly interested in the world of audio post, but before I go too far down the rabbit hole I was curious how big a role your location plays in whether or not you can become successful in this industry.

I currently live in Austin, TX but am considering moving back to the Milwaukee or Chicago area. Before I make any rash decisions, I figured I'd ask actual audio engineers here. I hear Austin is slowly bringing in more TV/Film companies and Chicago is already established in that, but I figure Milwaukee would make it more difficult to establish oneself.

Where do you live? Would you say living close to writers, directors, etc is important? How often do you meet up with writers, directors?

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to relink some audio files from an AAF in my Pro Tools Studio session (2026.4.1). The AAF was made in DaVinci Resolve. The audio files from the AAF have different file names than the source audio. There is also no unique file name to match. I attempted to manually relink with little luck. I matched one candidate file, but it would only link one half of the stereo file and not the other. I am also dealing with 174 unlinked audio files, so that is not a realistic workflow for relinking. I also tried copying the source files into the audio files folder, saving, relaunching Pro Tools, and automatic relinking, but that didn't work. I copied the source files into the clip list but had no luck with restarting the session and trying to relink.

Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. If there is a solution on to fix this on DaVinci with those export settings for the AAF, that would be appreciated as well.

I enjoy reading sound on sound but find that the audio post/related content is few and far between and wondered if there was any other good audio post magazines in the UK?

I read a lot of audio post blogs too but enjoy some off screen reading haha, hence the physical.
TIA

Hey everyone!

I'm a music producer/composer with some experience working as a music assistant for film composers. I've just been hired as an assistant/apprentice music editor on a major studio feature film, working under an experienced music editor.

While I'm comfortable with DAWs and music production in general, I have very little experience with the actual workflow of music editing for film.

I'm currently brushing up on Pro Tools, but I'd love to hear from experienced music editors or assistants here.

What are the most important technical skills, workflows, or Pro Tools functions I should prioritize learning ASAP? Any common beginner mistakes I should avoid? I'm also curious about software like Matchbox and how it's used in day-to-day work.

Any advice would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

I’m streaming picture an audio, using PT audio bridge and Blackmagic Video interface to output picture. Sync is fine. But I wonder if I use a clock with a video interface capable of receiving video ref as well as sending word sync to the audio interface would yield better results?

I know the Avid Sync X allows the best sync in conjunction with an HDX card, but that costs a LOT.

Has anyone tested these scenarios?

Anyone here used the beta and/or already up and running on this? I've heard (thirdhand) of some people having issues with loading databases, so thinking about waiting for 7.0.1, but I'm dying to play around with the Similarity Engine and mini Radium.

I'm working mainly on short films and just starting to get my first few paid projects. The ball is finally rolling in the right direction, and I've saved up a bit of money for some plug-ins.

I have about £800 total, have access to EDU discounts, and I have already purchased Dehumaniser 2 and have all the Pro Tools stock studio plug-ins (Not Pro).

I'm in between choosing iZotope RX 12 Advanced or Standard for the dialogue side of things. I've considered Accentize DxRevive, but with my budget, I feel that I'd get a lot more from RX12 than DxRevive at this moment in time.

My main issue now is, choosing wether to get Standard or Advanced and what the main beneifts would be. Any help on this or even any other recommendations for plug-ins would be very much appreciated. TIA

I have an audio post session in Logic Pro, and I have to export it as an AAF with embedded audio per client request. I'm trying to use Pro Tools as a middle ground (export AAF from Logic > open in Pro Tools > export as AAF with embedded audio through Pro Tools), and it gave me this exact error when I tried to import session data.

"Could not complete the Import Tracks command because Error reading AAF WAVE Data". This shows up halfway while importing.

Are there some common reasons for this error and ways to fix it? Or are there alternative workarounds for exporting an AAF with embedded audio when my audio post project is in Logic Pro?

I do a fair amount of work for a company- they make me work with another freelancer, they are young and way less experienced than me.

They are supposed to do the ambiences for the film , generally are taking the BG effects that the FIlm editor has supplied and giving them to me. They are supposed to do more but they mostly just reuse that stuff. TBH its not very good and its not on time an I already have the stuff they give me ( the film editor sent it to me too!)

So I checked on IMDB and this junior has decided to give themselves credit as sound designer. they are spending literally 2 days on this, whilst I am doing about 14 , and I barely use their stuff.

WWYD? say anything ? I get paid a fair amount , so dont want to rock the boat , but there's no way you can say they 'sound designed'.

I've just manually changed their credits back to something like assistant editor. But getting fed up of doing that.

Im giving stereo masters to the editor at broadcast spec, but where it will be broadcast lists providing it as 1: LT 2: RT 3: Unused (silence) 4: Unused (silence) 5: Unused (silence)

Should I be sending it broken up like that to the editor as an OMF? Is that standard practise?

I’m asking here so I don’t look quite as green…

Thanks

I love doing anything sound related and I also score films too. But I currently have a full time job as a corporate video editor/shooter, great benefits and insurance through it too. I feel like I’m wasting time at this job though because I’m not doing what I really love. I’ve been told that since I’m in my mid-late 20s, I am young and should just quit my job and move to one of the hubs for film and like wing it. Although I have a decent savings, it terrifies me quitting a stable job and going somewhere where I don’t know anybody and don’t have any job. Plus I know in those film hub places, it’s extremely hard to even get freelance jobs. Also the cost of living in those places, not to mention rising prices everywhere in this economy makes things difficult. I’ve just heard a lot of stories about people deciding to quit their dreams altogether because they can’t afford to live in the place that’ll give them work. I’m scared that if I risk it and fail, I might quit or lose interest in my dream like them too. I’m grateful and appreciative of any advice you may have!
