SOUND PRODUCER
We are in need of a Sound technician/producer to assemble, operate and maintain the technical equipment used to record, amplify, enhance, mix or reproduce sound.
He/she will be required to identify the sound requirements for a given task or situation and perform the appropriate actions to produce this sound.
The Sound producer will use a variety of equipment and machines, such as digital audio workstations, attenuators, equalizers, and multi-meters during the sound recording process. During post-production and mixing, sound producers blend recorded clips of vocals and instruments to achieve a certain sound. For movie or television projects, these professionals focus on how sound effects and music line up with visual cues.
Additionally, the sound producer will work closely with singers, actors, and other entertainment professionals to make sure that the sound he/she creates is just right. In order to achieve desired results, he/she have to know how to properly communicate with performers, recording assistants, and others.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Sound technician roles can be split into two categories:
• Production - the recording of all sound on set or on location;
• Post-production - the balancing, mixing, editing and enhancing of pre-recorded audio.
Production activities include:
• assessing the acoustics of the performance area and assembling and operating the necessary equipment;
• consulting with producers and performers to determine the sound requirements;
• selecting, positioning, adjusting and operating the equipment used for amplification and recording;
• applying technical knowledge of sound recording equipment to achieve the determined artistic objectives;
• recording sound onto digital audio tape or hard disk recorders;
• monitoring audio signals to detect sound-quality deviations or malfunctions;
• anticipating and correcting any problems;
• Maintaining and repairing sound equipment.
Post-production duties include:
• integrating (synchronisation) of pre-recorded audio (dialogue, sound effects and music) with visual content;
• re-recording and synchronising audio (post-synching);
• mixing and balancing speech, effects and music;
• Creating and altering sound effects for use in films, television, etc.
During our film productions, sound technician will be required to work within sound teams. There are often separate sound teams for production and post-production. The job of a sound team is essentially to follow or interpret the instructions of the director, sound designer or sound supervisor.
SALARY
• Starting salaries will be in the region of #40,000 to £180,000 per project
• Freelance work is common and in these instances you must be prepared to negotiate rates according to your experience and the type of production.
WORKING HOURS
Sound technician frequently have to work long days and unsocial hours (the average working day is ten hours) including evenings, nights and weekends. They often need to adopt flexible working patterns in order to work on breaking stories, to tight deadlines or to ensure that the creative process is not interrupted.
WHAT TO EXPECT
• Working in multiple locations is often required. This can include recording studios, film or television sets or on location.
• Freelance sound technician will work on fixed-term contracts for our broadcasting or production studio.
• Sound technician will often required to work in highly stressful situations and to tight deadlines. Stamina, self-motivation and patience are therefore essential attributes for this job.
