The Art of Eavesdropping on Electricity
When it comes to radio imaging and production FX, the right sound can flip the ordinary into unforgettable. Enter Robert Dudzic, legendary sound designer, creative sonic scientist, and master of audio elevation. In this session, he cracks open the TASCAM FR-AV4 and ATOME, showing how invisible sounds can become powerful weapons in your production arsenal.
In what’s new:
TASCAM FR-AV4 + ATOME | Sound Design with Electromagnetic Field
Sound Design: Creative Cinematic FX for Film, TV & Video Games
I’m excited to share my brand-new video where I explore two powerful tools for sound design: the TASCAM FR-AV4 field recorder and the ATOME electromagnetic field sensor + contact microphone.
What’s in the Video
In this video, you’ll see me in action recording inside a machine shop, using these devices to capture unique textures, from electromagnetic field tones to the raw resonance of industrial machines. I’ll walk you through how these tools work and show how they can open up new creative possibilities for cinematic sound design. (more…)
