The sound of STEVE, ANEMONE, BERBERIAN SOUND STUDIO with Stevie Haywood is out now! This episode is chock full of stories from a veteran Production Sound Mixer! player.captivate.fm/episode/007d...

Chris Bolte (Field & Foley Ep. 12) on one of the most intense sounds he’s ever heard: 36 vultures tearing through meat. “It was mesmerizing—and terrifying.” #FieldRecording #ripandtear field-and-foley.captivate.fm/episode/epis...

"I think it made sense for me to have a lot of small electrical elements in the music that would feel messy as well." - Cruyssen & Monnin, Ep. 14 #GameAudio #Soundtrack #GameMusic field-and-foley.captivate.fm/episode/epis...

"Every day, I listen. The world is full of amazing sounds waiting to be captured." – Peter Albrechtsen, Ep. 18 field-and-foley.captivate.fm/episode/epis...

RECORDING WHALES IN 3D – Take my word for it. Don't try to build a PVC pipe frame, attach 8 hydrophones to it, and then sink it down 100 ft. It is almost impossible. But I made what are (probably) the world's first 3D recordings of humpback whales. Listen here: thomasrexbeverly.com/products/haw...

"I look at the design, I kind of think like, 'what do I expect it to sound like first of all?' And then 'what would be an unexpected sound'?" - Amanda Niles, Ep. 5 field-and-foley.captivate.fm/episode/epis...

"The game audio community is just so tight knit and so kind, and smart. I'm always learning something new from other sound designers." - Amanda Niles, Ep. 5 field-and-foley.captivate.fm/episode/epis...

"I believe if you want to go with far, mid and close perspective, you need a really big foley stage because otherwise you cannot get around the early reflections and therefore it does not make sense." Episode 15 - Bastian Gerner

For Dune, the Foley team had to make sand footsteps sounds that wouldn't attract worms. Otherwise it would have been a short move 😜 Hear it from the Foley mixer Mikel Parraga-wills in Episode 26 of Field & Foley!

"Part of what makes Game dev so fun is just the learning and the experimenting and the exploration... putting a new idea on paper and seeing it come to life." #IndieDev #Creative - Jason Smith, Field & Foley Ep. 16

Six random length pipes + Six LOM Usi Pro = Gale Force Wind Pipes!?

The power of raw Foley! Mikel Parraga-Wills (Ep. 26) talks Oppenheimer's bomb scene: the silence filled only by dirty, realistic goggles & breathing sounds. A rewarding moment for the sound team! ✨ #Oppenheimer #FilmSound #FoleyArtist #Podcast

"I locked myself in a closet surrounded by clothing... a half decent acoustic dampener so that I could record stuff."- Jason Smith, Ep. 16

[On future goals] "I definitely want to travel a lot more to... find the remaining pockets of silence that we still have." - @bolttracks.bsky.social, Ep. 12 #FieldRecording #Conservation #Silence

[On what recording teaches] "It's taught me a lot about listening, being in the moment and sort of disconnecting myself." - @bolttracks.bsky.social, Ep. 12 #FieldRecording #Mindfulness #Audio

"Reach out and contact your heroes. I think you'll be constantly surprised how frequently you will get a respectful and very informative response." - Nathan Moody, Field & Foley Ep. 6

On daily creative practice: "Create a little bit every day without hope and without despair." - Nathan Moody, Field & Foley Ep. 6

Why are we still calling it "human resources"? I've thought about this term so often and it makes me angry. Humans as resources to buy up in bulk or – as we see so often in game development – to get rid of when the shareholders demand the line goes up.

We spent a whole day tracking lions and when we found them, we decided to stick around so we could record their calls. Somehow we picked the laziest ones around, because they slept a lot, yawned and stretched but did not make one sound until nightfall. When they finally did roar, it was magnificent

Happy 90th birthday Dame Julie Andrews!

"The final solution [to Shinsekai’s sound] was simply hybrid, a mixture between hydrophone and SM57 sound." - Ken Usami, Ep. 42 #SoundDesign #GameAudio #Foley #ProblemSolving

Hey sound designers, for nature recordings, capturing ambience, etc, what would you say is a good step up from a Zoom H4n. I’m tempted by something like a Zoom F3, but I would miss having built-in mics, even if they aren’t terrific.

"The minute I think about a result, it limits my choices." – Katrine Amsler, Episode 10 #CreativeProcess #MusicProduction Photo by Hungry for Holiday on Unsplash

"I do want to start doing more of my own recording for that reason because I really [am a perfectionist]. I know that it's probably only other sound designers that are going to recognize sounds." - Amanda Niles, Ep. 5 #FieldRecording #OriginalSound #AudioPost Photo by Kenny Eliason on Unsplash

"The problem with having a plan is that you can only plan what's already in your mind. So that's not opening any doors." – Katrine Amsler, Episode 10 #Creativity #GameAudio Photo by Alvaro Reyes on Unsplash
