Fembot Central

The last few weeks we have been taking orders for customs and almost all of them have asked the we do not use any mechanical sounds during the editing. this has led me to wonder if its something that we are adding that most don't care for or don't care either way. Since adding the sound fx can add put to an hour or more per movie we want to make sure we are not doing something thats either not wanted or not important....so please answer and help us improve

What he said...

Thankfully this can be rectified now. in the opts we were using imovie and editing sound files was a huge issue. But now that we are using premiere pro he can set all the sound files to a separate channel and then set all the sounds in that channel to one uniform decibel and then set how loud they should all be so thugs is something that can be fixed in future movies. For the time being the next batch of movies are all past customs so you will be seeing very little to no sound fx but thankfully the motions of the fembots sell them! lol
thanks again guys.

I agree with the above (volume level issue), but would add the following... and then tell you my overall recommendation, with the mutual understanding that I only intend here to speak for myself.

Simply put: It takes me out of it when the same effect is used over and over for different stuff and gets repetitive.

Sound effects, in my view, should be used with subtlety to enhance -- as subconsciously as possible -- the nature of the robot. They should be the dash of bitters in a proper whisky sour (which I am drinking right now... oh...). No one wants a whole shot of that shit.

My view, anyway.

All of the above comments are right on target.

I've done some audio recording, mixing and editing in my time and it's a tricky thing to get right.

Keep things understated and subtle.

Understood and will be imp,imented in future movies. We have three fembot movies coming with Hannah Perez so expect to hear new soundfx then as subtle, not loud and jarring.
thank you all
