Great stuff! I'm myself a hobbyist composer and sound designer, but I have found myself in the world of post audio production for a while now, and it's so fascinating how much there is to learn!

Thank you 🙏

I am ready to thrive this and the upcoming years of my life!

thrive!

thrive!

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

I really hope the stigma around therapy continues to change. It will change your life! And yes, everyone needs it!!

Great advice as usual Joel! It's a tough balance. We need all the help we can get!

Great video Joel. The work-life balance in audio post production is probably one of the greatest challenges of our careers. I've definitely gone through a lot of similar scenarios and I agree it's all about keeping a solid perspective on what's most important. This is why I love this channel; you pull back the curtain on what truly can go on behind the scenes in this business on a more human level. You're great at highlighting things that many of us are all already thinking about, but may not generally talk about. There's power in knowing you're not the only one. Great stuff!

Slapper is that COOOL that you almost forget about it!

Thank you for sharing your experience, Joel. It's good and healthy to find balance between relationships and work. My best, friend!

Another question, sorry haha! Is LFE the only bass source, or do the other speaker channels in a theater hold low frequencies, or is there a separate sub that's not LFE? I use fairlight and it's always tempting for me to push up a little on the boom parameter (which I think is tied to LFE) Hope that makes sense!

I am about to mix a very basic 5.1 of my short film for a theatrical private screening. I don't think the theater even knows technically how to help me, but my concern is channel order and it not properly mapping for them. Thankfully I will get to do a tech test with them before the screening. I have read it's mostly typical to mix in standard (not film) 5.1 and that being L,R,C,LFE,LS,RS order. I see that your channel order in this video is in 5.1 Film, is that correct?

IDK why, but I absolutely soared when you mentioned Egypt at first! Much love and support from Egypt, Joel! Your content has been my go-to for getting back on track!

Wow, just done with the episode, and the second half really hit hard. I’ve been reflecting on it, and I found myself really relating to what Austin said - the key is to just keep going, keep collaborating, and stay persistent. Things can turn around when you least expect it! Thank you so much for interviewing Austin and Jeff, Joel! Their insights really help shaping the mindset of someone working in the sound industry. From the attitude and mindset to the skills needed, everything they shared kinda helps me prepare for what's ahead. And yeah really excited to watch Interior Chinatown! 😁

I’ve only watched half of the episode so far, and I can tell it's been really enriching. When Jeff talked about keeping your mouth shut when you get the chance to be in the same room with the mixers, I think that was actually a very straightforward piece of advice. If you don’t listen and observe, you might learn things the hard way. Jeff was right-sometimes it’s better to keep quiet, because there’s a lot of nonverbal communication happening among the mixers that you could miss if you're focused on bringing your own opinion to the stage! Anyway, I’m going to grab my coffee and get back to the episode!

Thank YOU Joel for this channel and small community you've built. Like you said, you're covering topics that people don't talk about and it's been so helpful and encouraging!

These kinds of videos with real world examples of projects you've worked on, especially bringing in members of your team, are so helpful. One of the nuggets, get a template from the mixer, is simple and practical... I love it. Thanks for putting out these great videos.

💯💯💯💯

Why are there English subtitles for English speech? Are people that stupid, these days?

Great video Joel! Rich insights and inspiration. You've convinced me to order the book. Lol. I've been following your posts for a few months now, and I have to say, you always hit upon something profound that is either top of mind, or floating in my subconscious. I literally was having a conversation today with a younger sound designer colleague of mine, and we discussed this very topic of how to carry yourself in this business, in a way that is memorable and valuable without losing your natural identity. It's all about putting yourself out there, taking risks, and making sure you stay out of your "comfort zone". You may not always land on the runway you planned, but at least you're flying. Keep em coming Joel!

Good talk!

Do you have to worry about phasing when routing some of the music to the back channels?

Really appreciate your detailed & passionate explanations. Do you know if it is at all possible to try do a 5.1 mix at home through just a laptop? By changing different channels to the one speaker output one by one eg & moving the speaker around the room? Thank you so much!

Great Way Explaining It..

Hey friend. I have an issue where I can’t find REMOTE work. I reached out to many post studios. Several have shown interest in me because of my experience, but they said I would have to work on-site. That means I would need to relocate, which is not an option for me at the moment. My wife is pursuing her career as a doctor and is doing her residency for the next 5 years. I’m still knocking on doors. I have a long spreadsheet to keep track of all the companies I’m contacting and taking notes of any interactions. There are still many more to contact, it’s like an endless list. Any tips? Thanks.

Thank you so much for this video!

This is great information. I’m sure many folks are seeing this for the first time and it’s an eye opener. Otherwise they are wildly guessing what the typical wage is. This also explains why we hear the specific job titles when someone is sharing their career path starting as Junior, or Assistant, before getting to the top.

Hey brother. I feel like you may be not telling the whole story. Happy for you that you make so much but the truth is that editors make minimum scale as a rule. I'm TIER 1 at Skywalker and work on the biggest, most successful movies but I have NEVER worked above scale. It is not an option and is not at all negotiable. Any aspiring editors out there need to understand this because it would be a mistake to work so hard to follow this line of work under the illusion that you can make a comfortable living doing it. That's not in the cards for editors. The only way to make a living doing this work is to fill up nights and weekends with side work and that means, you work 18/7 for your entire life. That's how I've made it work and you know what? After 30 years of it, I'm tired.

Thanks!!!! Great Video

This makes me want to move to the USA ^^. I'm British but i've been living in France since i was 12 and the rates here are nothing like what you guys get, it's close to minimum wage! And there is no sound editor, mixer , foley, re recorder.....it's all one person here ( expect for a handfull of huge productions ) and we have to be able to do video editing as well, true swiss army knives for close to minimum wage :/ .

👏🏻 Thank you! This is really great for folks starting out. The downside is that based on talking to folks in the biz last week, that overall biz is down for trad post atm. Do these rates also work for games biz?

Thanks Joel, this rates are half of what we have in Italy 😢

Hi Joel, I just discovered your channel the other day. This is a really cool initiative, thank you for taking the the time out of your schedule to share your experiences and insight. There's not many people putting out content talking about the topics you bring up but they're really the important stuff. Keep up the great work.

Wow. I really appreciate you sharing this info. I'm a mix assistant in Toronto and since there isn't a union, people are really lip shut about their salaries so it's impossible to know what to ask for and we're always taken advantage of because of it. Pretty disheartening to learn that even though I'm 10 years in,, working in one of the best studios in the country, I'm not making even half of what the entry level is over there =") Really appreciate these videos friend!

Thanks for sharing! What's the definition for "entry" vs. the experienced one? Do you know why NY is separated to a different type of contract? Is there a place where I can read up on the definitions for the other types of contracts? It's great that you usually work hourly! In Toronto, for union sound editors, there's a weekly rate or a daily rate. Majority of people are paid a weekly rate (for 60hrs) vs. being paid daily because that's more expensive. And I think it's common to work at scale. Re-recording mixers are not unionized here and they often make less $ than sound editors 😅. Would love to see a video about negotiating above scale or just the negotiation process in general/or the process of how you get the gig!

nice. I am a sound editor as well. I was wondering how to get in the union and advice after I graduate with my Bachelors this month?

As someone who mixed 90% of my productions in stereo and is now moving towards surround (mostly Atmos), I was wondering: How does downmixing your 5.1 MIX to Stereo affect your mixing workflow? What issues do you need to be aware of that can occur when your 5.1 is getting downmixed to stereo?

Hello Joe, should we create MX Chain like what we do with DX? Pls explain why you don’t create MX chain? Thanks a lot

Unfortunately, most employers want a resume.

Best speech I’ve heard from audio post ever. So good
