Before we get started, I want to tell you about my latest YouTube video, where I take you

behind the mixing board of a new movie called Sketch. The film is a coming-of-age sci-fi adventure.

It's funny and emotional and a little bit scary at the same time. And my sound agency, de facto

sound, the team behind this very podcast, mixed and sound designed the entire film.

To memorialize this, I filmed a behind-the-scenes video in the state-of-the-art theater where we

completed the mix on the Belmont University campus in Nashville.

In the video, you'll see my absolute thrill of mixing this film in Atmos.

You'll hear from the director Seth Worley about the sound design challenges, and learn just what it takes to get a film's soundtrack ready for a big international release. This one is extra special for me. It's a rare glimpse behind the scenes at DeFacto Sound, and a glimpse into the theatrical mixing process like you've never seen before. To see it, just head to my YouTube channel, dallestaylor.mp3.

You can also see it in bite-sized pieces on my Instagram and TikTok channels,

which are under that same name, dallas taylor.mp3.

Thanks.
