Even professionals can't create the sounds they like??? 😂

I was talking to my boss recently,

Something happened that was quite shocking.

The boss suddenly,

"When other people are involved, you can't create the sound you want."

That's what I said.


...


picture???

Even someone like the boss???

😂


I've been doing commercial mixing for 35 years,

CMs ,

The drama ,

He's someone who's done stage recordings and 360-degree videos , yet...?


I couldn't quite believe it at first.

But as I listened to the story,


"Ah, I see."

That's what I thought.



For example, commercials .

The final OK is given by

I'm not a sound engineer.

Clients ,

Director ,

He was a producer , for example.


that's why,

Among the bosses


"I wanted to do it a little more like this."

Apparently, some residue can remain.


of course,

Since it's a job, I'll make it so that it works properly.

The boss himself

"We're taking a wide range of tolerance."

That's what he said.


but,


nevertheless


"But you know..."


There are moments when I think that.


...

this

"But you know..."

but,


This was the most memorable thing for me this time.

😂



At first,

"Well then, just make it however you like!"

That's what I thought.


but,


MSSL will also be starting to offer outsourced services.


And it's just an individual.


It's not a company.


The one thing the boss said at this point was,

I got stabbed again.

"I was also protected by the company."


...


I see.

Up until now, the company has

There was a salesperson ,

There was a producer ,

There were all sorts of people .



But with MSSL ,

The final decision rests with the boss.

that's why,

Not just the responsibility of creating sound,

"How should we proceed with this work?"

That means you'll end up bearing all that responsibility as well.


this,

It's incredibly heavy.


Me,

It was only then that I realized.


The boss was worried about,

Even with EQ,

Even with reverb,

It wasn't even localization.


responsibility

That was it.


and,

As we continued talking, I thought...

MSSL includes,

Contract work and research ,

There are two.


In contract work,

To fulfill the other party's objective.


In the study,

The boss pursues the sound he truly wants to create.



These two are

They look similar, but they're completely different.


If research were to be approached with the same mindset as contract work,

The boss had been carrying this burden for 35 years

"But you know..."

teeth,

It felt like it would never end.


So I,

Research is the only thing that matters.

I want this to be a place where no one has to hold back.

So I made

"This is MSSL ."

Because there is that sound,

I can confidently propose solutions even when working on a contract basis.


...

But you know...

This tripartite meeting,

In fact, no conclusion was reached.

😂


Rather,

"This is a theme I'll continue to think about."

That was the conclusion we reached.


but,


I think that's fine.


MSSL is

"People who know the answer"

It's not a gathering of people.


"People who keep searching for answers"

I think it's a gathering of people like that.


So today too,

Another homework assignment added to my list.

😂


but,

This kind of homework,

I quite like it.


Because,

A year later ,


Five years later ,


If I reread it ten years from now ,


"I was worried about things like this back then!"

That might make you laugh.


At that time,

The boss's ears are

They should have grown even more by now.


and,

Both me and Shiori,

I should be a much better researcher now than I am now.



So,

This is the research log.


"Even professionals sometimes can't create the sound they want?"


That's it.

...


Yeah.

Spatial acoustics,

Not just sound,

It might be a job that involves designing even the distance between people.










My brain glitched again đŸ˜‚đŸ©·
