Whether you make narratives, documentaries, news shows, training videos, podcasts, games, or some other media, sound has a great impact on what people see, believe, and remember. When you dedicate attention to every element that makes up the whole soundtrack -- dialogue, sound effects, and music -- your story will hold more meaning for the audience, and you’ll deliver your message in a more memorable way. Thankfully, putting together a better soundtrack is the easiest, fastest, and most effective way to make your production better. SOUNDTRACK SUCCESS will show you how to do it. It’s a non-software-specific guide to the entire realm of audio post-production, with particular attention paid to fixing problems, sweetening sound, and pulling together a complete soundtrack. You’ll learn how to use dialogue, voiceover, walla, backgrounds, sound effects, Foley, and music, and you’ll discover how to record, edit, mix, master, and deliver high-quality and high-impact soundtracks. The companion DVD includes video tutorials and examples that further demonstrate the many concepts and techniques described in the book. This complete primer is your key to making soundtracks that soar.

Synopsis:

Today digital storytellers of all kinds have access to incredible tools from digital video and animation software to software-based editing and digital delivery gear, creatives now have the ability to produce amazing, high-level visual imagery. But many do not pay enough attention to the sound of their productions. It s been said that sound is 50-75 per cent of the visual experience, and poor sound quality can make any production seem unprofessional regardless of how impressive it is visually. "Soundtrack Success: A Digital Storyteller's Guide to Audio Post-Production" teaches filmmakers, editors, game developers, commercial directors, and animators how to deliver effective, professional-sounding soundtracks, with particular attention paid to fixing problems, sweetening sound, and pulling together all the elements (dialog, music, and sound effects) to create the complete soundtrack. Additionally, the standard sound editing and shaping tools are discussed in detail, and there's a chapter on how to get a job in the sound editing industry. The book's companion DVD includes additional video tutorials to further illustrate techniques.

In short, "Soundtrack Success" provides everything you need to make your next soundtrack a complete success!
