Been following you for years now, and I think this is the first time I am commenting. I wanna say thank you for this. Any breakdown of sound design is very much appreciated. I struggle the heck with this.
Jay, the segment with the SFX for the horse is fantastic, using only 2 reversed-splashes for the hooves + some water "drips." I'm sure I would have mistakenly drowned everything with 40 splashes. 😁 Really like the flickers-to-blackout-with-SFX technique and I'm thinking it will make a great ending/closing for some videos, or maybe a wild transition between certain action camera clips. Also love the editing tips to use multiple tracks for SFX clips to provide versatility and isolation of Dynamics treatments! Thank you for sharing this Sound Design video... it's at least 50 tips in 25 minutes! 👏👏
Yes, I did noticed many thing I didn't like in the penultimate version of the video. But you corrected them all in the final version! 😊 Even added a pan in the car sound! Yes, when you care of all the small details, the final product is a blast! See you on your next vid! Thanks dude!
Thanks for the awesome tutorial! I've been looking for a course on how to do what you just did here in dolby atmos, with all the panning across speakers and stuff. Nothing to be found anywhere on the internet. All dolby atmos courses/tutorials I could find are geared towards music mixing, not film post production/sound design. Please consider offering something of the sort! Cheers!
Another excellent lesson. You may want to not assume that viewers have watched many of your other videos. You blow by some real nuggets of information relative to the submenu tools in both Fairlight and the right-click options on the edit page. Keep up the great work...and it was great chatting with you at NAB this year. Also went ahead and joined MotionArray with your link. Looks like a ton of stuff.
Hey! Sure, I can look into a video about that. When you mean, selecting band, which part of the video are you talking about? Just wanna make sure I understand what you’re looking for. 😁👍
@@JasonYadlovski like at 17:58, frequency, band, why you drag the line like that, or at 11:11 why turn those knobs and not the others? What does Delay do? Is it an effect and you add it to the sound clip by clicking the + icon in the mixer? If this means I'm below beginner level, can you point me to where I can learn about this basic stuff?
@@billythecat I've found it's best to watch videos from multiple sources. Simply searching for things like "eq for beginners" or "delay for beginners" and watching as many videos as you can will go a long way. This is what I did when first learning Fusion a couple years ago. Everyone has a different approach and a way of explaining things which can help fill in more pieces of the puzzle. But to answer your specific questions, on the EQ the band he moved is a low-pass (or a high-cut) band which cuts out the high frequencies. He said the sound was a little "crispy" and by cutting the high frequencies it makes the sound darker. Yes, delay is an effect, it repeats the sound back...back...back...back... lol like an echo. The knobs he turned on the delay were the dry/wet control to make the delay effect louder, and then the left/right delay time to increase the time in between the repeats. Like this, echo..echo..echo.. vs echo.........echo.........echo......... The second one has longer time before you hear the echo again. All of these controls are set based on what you want the sound to sound like and a lot of this boils down to personal preference. No two mixing engineers will set their EQ or their effects exactly the same way. Just like no two painters will mix colors or paint exactly the same way. The more you work with these types of effects the more you will develop your ear for what sounds good to you and what doesn't.
@@Tekkerue If only Jason explained what he did in the video in as much detail as you did, this video would be really for beginners. I appreciate many of his other videos tho. Looks like I'll have to dig into those keywords and write my own audio handbook. Thank you so much for answering all my questions.
@@billythecat You're welcome. I think this video assumes a basic understanding of the tools in order to show how to use them all together in sound design. IMO explaining the fundamentals of the individual tools like EQ, delay, etc. should be in separate videos with simpler examples to follow along with. It's probably too large of a leap to go from explaining the basics of EQ and then jumping into a larger sound design project like this so quickly. It's probably best to start with smaller test projects first before attempting more complex sound design projects like this. When learning about EQ, make small test projects with just a couple tracks like dialog and music. Then look up some videos on how to mix dialog and music with EQ and follow along with the techniques they show. Then try to apply the techniques on your own without following the videos. While you are working, get in the habit of bypassing your effects and comparing to the original. Are you actually making improvements or just making it sound worse? (We've all been there! 😅) Also, find several references from professionals, load them into your project onto separate tracks and toggle back and forth for quick comparison. You will likely have to match volume to make sure you aren't tricking your ears with volume differences. Referencing professionals while working will help you keep perspective on what you are doing. It's very easy to get lost in effects only to realize you've just been making it sound worse the entire time. lol So this kind of comparison and critical listening is crucial when teaching yourself.
Hey Jason,another awesome video as always,I’m a faithful follower of your channel and believe me that you has been a big help for my videos but,could it be that you go a bit slower when you explain something for those of us who don’t speak English very well,my apologies for to be asking you this and for your audience who must be English speakers,thanks and you’re the best so far.Hug.
Thanks! I'd love to slow it down, but I don't know if I can. 😜 I've already slowed down a bunch from the fast NJ speed, maybe if I left more pauses in the edit, that would help. I know some people watch the youtube video at 50% speed to slow me down. 😁
@JasonYadlovski I mean,at least when you are zooming in part of your editing work, leave it more time to we could see what are you handle it,anyways, slowly or faster, you are the best. Thanks Jason,Hug.
You are video so valuable and awesome my lovely brother thank you so much
Appreciate the love! 😎

Thanks for following me and I appreciate you dropping a comment! I’ll have more Sound design videos coming up soon, stay tuned!
@@JasonYadlovski I so look forward to these type of videos. Thanks again.

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed the vid and learned a few things along the way. 😜
Brother, you heard my prayers and answered them. I've been wanting to learn more about this for SO LONG.
Bless you. Bless you, sir.
Awesome! Perfect timing! 😜
What the heck Tyler I seen you on discord
Yes, I did noticed many thing I didn't like in the penultimate version of the video. But you corrected them all in the final version! 😊 Even added a pan in the car sound! Yes, when you care of all the small details, the final product is a blast! See you on your next vid! Thanks dude!
Yeah! Glad to see you could pick out some of the details. 😁👍
And I learn a lot with you! Thanks for your work! 😂

Great! I'm looking to learn more about dolly atoms too! When I get it figured out, I'll be sure to make some videos about it. 😁
The video I've been waiting for and looking for for a long time. Thank you so much.
GREAT VIDEO! The final product had me on the edge of my seat. Great work my friend! Have a wonderful everything!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video. More like this will be coming! 😜

amazing work mate. Thanks for sharing your experience
Thanks so much! I appreciate you checking out the video! 😁👍
This was absolutely awesome - cheers, Jason 🤘🙏🤘
Thanks Gary! I appreciate you checking out the video!
Great Tutorial bro! Big fan of your work.
Thank you so much 😀
amazing jason.
Thanks!
I can see me coming back to this video for inspiration. Out of interest and not judgement, how many of the clips did you shoot?
None, it’s all stock footage. I don’t get to shoot cool stuff like that. 😜
You can also try eleven labs (AI text to speech for the narration). You will be amazed. Thanks Jason once more.👍
Nice, I'll have to check that out. Never heard of it before. 👍 Thanks for sharing!
Can you make a video about terminologies? cause I'm lost as soon as you start selecting band and turning those knobs.

Wish it had the same interface and capabilities that "audio design desktop" has.
😊. Watch it later.. leave epic comment.. now! 😅. Thanks
Thanks so much! 😁
