Sound design is the process of recording, editing, and mixing various sound elements and musical pieces for all types of visual media, including in a feature film, television, advertisements, video games and live performance, like theater.

​

The benefits of sound design are many. But here are a couple of sound benefits that might even convince you to hire that professional sound designer for your next film:

​

Give the audience a sense of what’s off-screen

​

Visually, a film is limited to what’s onscreen. But the sound design team takes on the sounds of the rest of the world that the audience can’t see by creating soundtracks, re-recording mixers, sound editing, and more.

​

Sound design bridges scenes together

​

More so in film than television production, supervising sound editors ensure that all sound design elements help scenes flow together. This way, they create a cohesive sound and feel to the project, all through sound mixing and editing.
