Great idea for the show this week. Audio work is something I can use a lot of, and I am sure many of us can use help in this area. THanks for sharing some insight into this.
Excellent tips. While you would think that they are common sense, they apparently are not. Thanks Rick!
Oh my god, this is exactly what i've been dealing with. I edit music videoclips (usually 1 song long) and I came across a a bigger production, I saw all those details in the scenes as I realized my videos needed some changes... your 5 tips are exactly what I concluded, althought I need to train on the silence part, I've only used a few times and it came out extremely good, but it took me sooooo much time, defenetely something to work hard on, it's worth it... keep it up guys! FIVE STARS!
It's good to get back to the basics no matter what level of editing you are at. Thanks for the tips.
Clear and concise.
Play don't use these segments to billboard other segments. The website and the intro video do that well enough. If you wish to add billboards later to repurpose the piece, you can add a VO tagged segment for that project.
Great tips!-- I only wish the latest audio editors of some programming would follow your lead (like "Vegas" and many other new shows!) the "music" and BG noise makes it impossible to hear much of the dialog.
You're teaching in these tutorials hopefully will enlighten audio "engineers" of the future.
Audio is harder for the brain to assimilate than video, so you Have to really pay attention in editing. (you can see everything around you at the same time, but only listen to one person talking at a time).
Great tutorial! Keep up the good work-- love the DJTV series!-Ed
Took a bit long to actually get into the tips. It felt like you were repeating yourself a lot at the beginning.
Tip #3's new music track sounded like a Halloween track instead of a beach bum track to me. But that's a personal opinion.
I did like how you used the music in your narratives to show examples WHILE you were still explaining it.
Overall I think this is a very useful video for lots of people! I loved four and five...mostly because I TOTALLY agree! Nice work Rick!
That double voice tip was great...too bad a lot of commercials don't use that. Some of the commercials out there are soooo annoying with the "double talk" going on. I work with audio 90% of the time in my productions, so this was a fun episode. I can never know everything (no-one can), so thanks for the extra tips!
Excellent set of tips. I tend to use music to help the audience know how they should feel about the scene. Sometimes, when writing a narration or dialog, I will select a cut of music first and lisen to that while writing. I may change the music or the words as I go along but at least it's a good place to start.
What is the rule of thumb for the volume of the music bed compared to the on camera voice?
