really engaging stuff! How did you integrate the field recordings into this? It's something I'm struggling with at the moment. It never quite seems to fit nicely in the mix.

What is non-linear processing, and why does it matter? 

In this episode we dive deep into the topic with our guest Dan Worrall, and talk about: what non-linear processing is, why it can sound great and when it can sound terrible, and how to know the difference. Along the way, we also discuss 
* Is reverb non-linear ? And why it’s confusing
* How linear processing makes top-down mixing a good idea
* The difference between saturation and distortion
* …and how to use them creatively
* The difference between a perfect 5th and a power chord
* ...and how to play chords on a trombone

Dark theme made with a hand-spllced cassette loop, modular synthesizer*, and field recordings.

The cassette loop was a happy accident: I tried recording a drone on it and the tape tension was too loose, so it didn't hold tight against the recording head. Three layers of compressors, two limiters, and three EQ passes dug out the chugging rhythm you hear throughout the piece.

*E350 and Braids through an E440 and E560, sometimes into an ErbeVerb, µVCF, Maths. Overdriven signal through a Gozinta on its way into an Azimuth.

Are you nervous about starting a new project? Don’t worry; so is everyone else, including your sound design hero, Randy Thom… Talking through the edit, scene by scene gives the director, the composer and the rest of the editorial team the chance to sort out out technical issues and determine the direction and shape the soundtrack is going to take… Randy joins us to talk about about what kind of attitude, questions and objectives he brings to the spotting sessions for new movie projects.

131 - Randy Thom On Getting The Most Out Of Spotting Sessions

What with one thing and another, John, Shelley and Scott are sheltering at home. We take advantage of this rare break in the schedule to bring them back together over Skype. They pull back the curtain (Zuzz, but just a hairball) on the unique space they've created to work in and share the irrepressible camaraderie that fuels their work at Skywalker Ranch. We also talk Foley for animation, including some thoughts on Pixar's newest, Onward.
