ONN: New Law Would Ban Marriage Between People Who Don’t Love Each Other

New Law Would Ban Marriages Between People Who Don’t Love Each Other

The Onion News Network provides some food for thought on Valentines day. It’s not right that there are couples who DO truly love each other but still aren’t able to express that love through marriage.

As for sound design: The original recording only had 20 or so people chanting, so I had to do a lot of copying, pasting, looping, and panning to beef up the crowds. For the chanting in the reporter’s background, I submixed the “foreground” chants, added reverb, delay, rolled off the high EQ, then decreased the stereo image just shy of mono. That gave sense feeling a huge crowd in the distance, off-mic from the reporter’s scene. Also–though you can’t really hear it in the mix–I recorded some fo the reporter’s outdoor ambience sounds on my roof during New York’s so-called “snomageddon.”

I was on the roof a lot last week.
