This is always something I have been meaning to learn and play with. Usually after I am done filming I just let the audio chips (so to speak) fall where they may. On the current project I am working on, however, I want to make sure my audio is top notch, and not too soft or hot. So where would I go to learn how to correctly sweeten audio in post production? Could someone write an article perhaps? Either way I'm grateful for any help. (I'm using Soundforge by the way, if it matter).

First of all you need to make sure you get perfect sound during shooting. Everyone always says "I can fix it in post!"

The truth is... you can't fix it in post. After that it's all about tiny, minute adjustments to EQ and levels. You need to really understand what each change will do.

Learn about dynamics control. Learn compression and expansion ratios and thresholds that work well, using a hard limiter, and parametric EQ'ing voices so they're more understandable. I'm in a band, and before I was seriously into filmmaking I thought I wanted to be an acoustical engineer, so I learned everything I could about recording and digital audio. I thought I had wasted my time when I moved to filmmaking, but nearly everything I learned has come in handy when "sweetening" my movie's audio.

I'm no expert, but maybe I'll write an article outlining the basics. Didn't Chris set up an article section of the site?

Yeah defintely write something up man, that'd be great. I do record ok in production but I would just like to go that extra mile in post production so that's why I was wondering. Thanks for the help.
