In this much anticipated conversation, we had the joy of sitting down with Dwight Caines, President of Domestic Marketing for Universal Pictures. With a career that evolved from scriptwriting to high-profile marketing roles, Dwight generously shares about his personal and professional experiences and what he learned along the way that helped shape his success in the industry. We discuss his early interest in film as a freelance writer (which led to his epiphany that freelance is not his cup of tea!); how he got his first gig in the business; and he details the digital innovation he championed in marketing and the campaigns that left a significant impact on him.   Dwight goes beyond discussing his professional achievements and delves into subjects that matter deeply to him. He highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in Hollywood, underlining the evolution of inclusivity in film marketing. He also talks about his role in the Universal Pictures Inclusion Council and the 'Make It Universal' initiative aimed at showcasing diverse talent in the company. Dwight also underlines the significance of mentorship, the benefits of his teaching roles, and how he tries to inspire the next generation of filmmakers; as well as his involvement with Stand Up To Cancer and why the organization is so meaningful to him. Before we wrap, it was cool to hear Dwight shed light on the future of the film industry in the face of an increasingly digital world.   Be sure to check out our wonderful sponsor: Defacto Sound - www.defactosound.com/   Oh, and doesn't our new episode artwork look great?!?!

How the tricks of sound design are akin to a magician's ability to invisibly manipulate our emotions. Why we hear certain sounds recycled in movies and trailers to the point of cliché.

Today we present a new podcast from WKMS in Murray Kentucky called Middle Of Everywhere—Big stories from the small places we call home. What happens when an atheist stands up for free speech when the government favors Christianity? Many people in this country think that patriotism and Christianity go hand in hand, but can a person be a patriot and non-religious? In this episode, Ariel and Austin hear from one feisty and independent man who has devoted his life to crusading for freedom of expression. His journey became world renowned with his lawsuit against the state of Kentucky for denying him the vanity license plate IM GOD.

Alan Lomax believed that the culture of poor Americans was important and worthy of saving. So he spent decades traveling the American South and recording obscure musicians on their front porches, in churches, even in prisons. Today, he's considered an American icon, but the road to becoming a legend wasn't an easy one. Featuring Southern Historical Collection archivist Chaitra Powell, American Folklife Center curator Todd Harvey, and filmmaker Rogier Kappers. Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced out of the studios of Defacto Sound and hosted by Dallas Taylor.  Follow the show on Twitter, Facebook, & Reddit.

Usually on the show we're talking about mastering music for CD, download and streaming, but there's another important final destination for the audio we work on - broadcast. And the difference with broadcast audio is - there are standards. Having said that, there often isn't a dedicated mastering stage ! In this episode we dig into the whole fascinating topic with our guest Dallas Taylor from Defacto Sound, and host of the superb Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast. Dallas has a wealth of experience in sound design and mixing for broadcast on trailers and ads for shows like Game Of Thrones and games like Fallout, amongst many others. In a wide-ranging conversation we talk about: * Why sound design is like being a conductor * American versus British mixing style in drama * What are “emotional FX” ? * The loudness wars in broadcast * Dialnorm - what and why ? * How to make dragons talk http://themasteringshow.com/episode-63

Twenty Thousand Hertz

What we hear is incredibly personal and we all hear things differently. Sometimes our ears can even play tricks on us. Sonic illusions put a spotlight on the unique function of our hearing and how our backgrounds and biology affect how we process sound. Psychologist Dr. Diana Deutsch and neuroscientist Dana Boebinger explain why our hearing is a unique sense and why sonic illusions can fool us.  Twenty Thousand Hertz is produced out of the studios of Defacto Sound, and hosted by Dallas Taylor.  Follow the show on Twitter & Facebook.   Become a monthly contributor at 20k.org/donate.  If you know what this week's mystery sound is, tell us at mystery.20k.org.  Episode transcript, music, and credits can be found here: https://www.20k.org/episodes/sonicillusions  Learn more about your ad choices.
