Watson Wu: Sound FX recording & Sound Design

In today’s episode, we are honored to have Watson Wu join us to talk about his work recording sound effects for big budget films and video games. I can't wait to talk to him about his techniques and gear for recording vehicles like he did for Baby Driver.

If you’d like to learn how to make great dialogue audio for your film and video projects, please have a look at my courses at https://school.learnlightandsound.com including processing dialogue audio in Adobe Audition and DaVinci Resolve/Fairlight, recording sound, how to use the Zoom F4, F6, F8, and F8n, and how to get the most from the Sound Devices MixPre series of recorders. Our latest course is Sound for Live Streaming with the ATEM Mini.
