After your video is filmed and the edit is locked, your video will be sent off to be sound-designed. Good audio quality goes unnoticed, but bad audio quality can take you right out of the experience. In this episode of Production 101, Senior Editor Darren Will explains the fundamentals of sound design and showcases how finessed audio can take a video from good to great.

I've been thinking a lot about the role of advisors as sounding boards. Sounding Board (noun): "a person or group whose reactions to suggested ideas are used as a test of their validity or likely success before they are made public." When advising founders, I aim to be a hyper-relevant sounding board. The more relevant my experience, the more crisp the signal I can offer. A 10x sounding board can show you how you're wrong before it's too late (i.e. while it's still cheap to be wrong). When I'm advising founders, I'm not telling them what they should do. I'm mostly reflecting back observations through my biased lens, and if helpful, offering suggestions. If I'm asked about something where I have no relevant experience, I say I'm the wrong person to ask because I haven't been in that situation before (and usually have someone in mind who is a much better person to ask). Advisors should take the responsibility seriously. If you see a smart move on the board, say it out loud and walk through the rationale on how you got there. If you don't see any good moves, keep digging.

"Fred, I might have a job for you. Can you fix bad-sounding audio? We're kind of desperate..." Sure, let me have a listen to it and I'll send you a sound bite showing what can be rescued. It always start the same, a client giving me a call, starting with an excuse why they ended up recording bad sound. No matter the reason, like not hiring a sound engineer to begin with or experiencing difficulties during the recording, the fact remains - something has to be done to fix the audio. With twenty years experience doing audio restoration / sound restoration, I have encountered one recording that was beyond repair - all the rest of the sound restoration projects I've done, I've been able to improve the sound quality to such level that the client was grateful. Yes, grateful not having to rerecord a webcast or conference or CEO monthly address to the employees. If you've found this post after nervously searching the Internet for answers, then take a deep breath and let me help you out. Here's what you're going to do: ✅ Create a minute of the wrecked audio recording, preferably as a WAV- or AIF-file, but any format will do. ✅ Email the sound clip to me at: freddan@ninjasound.se ✅ Include a description of what went wrong and how fast you need the job done. I will take a listen to it and do a thirty second sound repair - free of charge - showing what can be salvaged from the original recording. You have nothing to lose by contacting me, on the contrary, you have everything to gain, not having to scrap a project. You might think that the sound is beyond repair, but let me as a professional evaluate what can be done. I've salvaged web casts with CEOs when no sound engineer what present during recording, I've salvaged hybrid meetings / webcasts when no attention was given to the recorded sound and I've even done forensic sound analysis and noise reduction of recordings with delicate material. 100% listener's discretion guaranteed. So, how can I help you? #soundrestoration #audiorestoration #forensic #soundfix #noisereduction #declipping #denoising #badaudiocanbefixed

Here's how you can remove clicks from an audio clip inside REAPER. You can get clicks and pops in recordings from cable/jack movements and, sometimes, from faulty drivers. In my case, it was me accidentally tugging a cable. And while de-clicking plugins are available, they often affect the plosive as well. Hence, I prefer removing it manually instead. And it's particularly easy in REAPER thanks to its built-in spectral editor. #mixing #recording #ReaperDAW #musicproduction #vocals #editing
