Thanks Robert for you kindness at sharing all this incredible knowledge... You gave me such a big sensation of hope about mankind looking how humble a great professional like You is... thank you so much really!
Thank you for sharing your wealth of information. I've been getting into sound design and audio engineering work for video games, this has inspired me to take the next step and go out and capture some fresh sounds of my own.
Amazing Robert!! Great video as usual! And thanks for letting us in on your stereo bar build! Now only thing left on my wishlist is a Studio tour where you go through all your toys back there!
This is one of the most (if not the most) generous displays of knowledge, sharing, insight I've stumbled across. Very much appreciated. Thanking you Robert.
The handheld aspect of your mic concept is brilliant. I have adapted your design to my own liking. It's always special to see how people like you approach sound, gives new insights and really helps to develop someones own style. For me it's creating samples for a hardware synth/sampler & drum machine I use. Recording samples from scratch is such a joy to do. Thank you Robert!
Thank you for taking the time to share! You are an incredible resource for me as I’m navigating through learning and making my own sounds, well done 👍🙏
Firstly - thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in order to help others - much appreciated! I understand you use 3 mics. The shotgun mic in the center, and 2 condenser mics, which each get panned to a different channel - thus resulting in sounds which come from the left, right and center. (Hopefully I m correct so far). My questions is...... Could this also be done with a single shotgun mic, by duplicating the mono shotgun mic track twice, and then do the same thing - pan 1 duplicate to the left, and the other duplicate to the right, and leave the original centered? Would this have the same effect, or is there something I am missing which can only be achieved using the 2 condenser mics?
SHARING! What a concept. I work in the film business, as a designer but forever have been a fan of sound design. I always designed sets with what sound opportunities they created. A lot of people are very secretive about how they create, afraid somebody might take something from them, but the fact is, in the creative field, you have to work with people that can take your job at any given moment, they have to be good to make you look good. I love how you are 100% open to people copying what you do in the learning process. It's not likely they will ever do what you do, but they will come up, as you say, with their version, something new, and then somebody copies them, and so on and so on. Pass it on!
Thank you for this video. I'm an industrial sound designer. I use field recordings, old tape and cassette, diy bleep box's and fx pedals. I often find I have very flat, tone less recordings. Although I only use cheap laptops, running Audacity and a Zoom hn4-pro, I can use a lot of these techniques. I can create a centre mic by mixing down the stereo condensers off the Zoom etc.... Of course I'll never achieve your production levels, but I will improve my compositions greatly. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. Once again thank you.
@@RobertDudzic Hello Robert ! How do you loop perfectly a wav sample into an infinite pad / what is your process ? - i often ear the loop point i've made...
The difference in sample rate is actually pretty insane. Started recording in 96k instead of 44.1 and I get way more detail when shifting down. Amazing tip, thank you!
Hi Robert. I'm just starting out and ended up going for the NTG5 which is a bit shorter, and was wondering what sort of stereo technique you are using for the side mics? Are they aimed at the capsule of the shotgun at a particular angle/distance? Also, as NT6's are beyond my budget currently, I was wondering if you had any thoughts on the NT5's as stereo mics (they are about 1/4th the price). Currently I am testing out some cheap Behringer pencil mics, but am not sure if they are of adequate quality or not yet (I still need to make a stereo bar and get some dead cats for them). Also I was wondering if your 3d printed stereo bar design might work with the shorter shotgun mic, or if perhaps I need to modify it. Thanks a ton for any advice you are able to give!
Hi, The NTG 5 is phenomenal mic and have very nice low end and that you focus, you can add for stereo two RØDE NT5 matching pair, you can found them on eBay very cheap. I use them when i started and the sound fantastic. I printed this stereo bar but you have the idea and you can do something similar, look at amazon for any dslr camera parts, for example smallrig have lot great parts and you can found parts to assemble bar what will work for you. Just like playing with LEGO blocks.
Hi Robert, Mastering your Sounds before you Export the Files in Kontakt? Or normalize you the files in Kontakt without Mastering? What is your Mastering Chain
Thank you for information ! You are the Best ✌️ One question: Do you normalize all your sounds to 0 db? If yes is it normal to normalize Mid and Side to 0db at the same time ?
I never normalize sounds, i mix every sound individually and mix them to -6db. This is giving me plenty room to post process when i finalize all or mix with other elements.
Hi Robert, how do you do final soud design (what software)? I ask because I tried to do some sound design in Cubes and I found that when it comes to adding effects, Cubase is very inconvenient (for me) because you can only apply the effect to entire tracks and not to sound clips separately, so almost every sound had to has its own track.
@@RobertDudzic You know perfectly well whether or not you're recording a close-range stereo image, there is nothing unusual about recording stereo with a centre mike and your response to my question, as you also know, is flippant. Cool, I was thinking of hiring you to consult on a project, but not now.
I mix all them in to stereo file and after that i carful edit every single useful sound and import to KONTAKT after this sky is the limit how i combine all this sounds.
Why u still recording with the NTG3 and not the new NTG5? for a guy who wants to enter in this world of sound design and record foley for sports..in my case I want to do a Sound Design for sport comercials and movies..and I need to record a lot of outdoor and indoor
NTG3 is fantastic mic and I love. RØDE send me every single model the mics and I use what I like, depend on location my mic setup is constantly changing😊
I'm passionate in exploring any nature anomaly audio so far there's some collection in my channel the audio from 'astral voice phenomena'.. .. if you or anybody else find something interesting feel free to use it no disclaimer needed, just share with me the link if you finished messing up with it maybe much interesting, cheers..😊 any way thanks for the class..🙏
dear robert I would kindly like to invite you towards collaborating with me. i can send you a couple viola stems. you process them, you add some sounds on top of it, and you try to create an haunting and twisted sound narrative on top of it. all the assets that you create towards the music, even processing the sound of my instrument will remain yours. i just advice you at donating some money into some charity of your choice. all the music you will send me will be my property, but i will always credit your work in concerts, and so. if you have an interest towards that, feel free to reach me, and i will send you maybe one or two Gb of high quality viola sounds. you will even though be able to make a video about the process. i just advice you not to mention my name there. cheers T.
