SFX for How To Succeed

As well as playing the piano pad I’ve also programmed and am triggering the sound effects. This is usually a good idea where SFX appear at very specific points in the music. Now, I take an almost anal pride in this and have carefully researched the appropriate sounds, often recording or creating them myself.

So, why this post?

My telephone ringing sound effect - not the most complicated thing ever - is a perfect 1950’s bell phone ring.

But this is an American show. The ringing cadence is completely different. Also the props are trim phones not bell phones. Gah! So that’s me redoing them tomorrow. Any job worth doing… No one would notice, but I would know!
