Hi Sven,

For a long time, I have appreciated your incredible site, and I still get so much out of it. Thank you for the work you put in on it.

FYI: The glossary link to the Dilettantes Dictionary has changed. I was bummed when my link to it quit working, but a while back I happened upon the new one. It is:

Have a good one!

Hi Sven!
First of all I want to thank you for that incredible site. It's like a treasure chest stuffed with all that someone has to know about sound on film.
But I found something missing...
Please update your book list with this:
Dialogue editing for motion pictures - by John Purcell (Focal Press). It's the bible for all dialogue editors and also enlightning for all the other sound guys even if they're working as pros for years.
Well, keep it going on!!
Cheers

Dear Sirs,

First I will thank you for the great site you created where I can enrich my knowledge for sure.
I find your filmsound.org site during my doctoral thesis research and if this is possible I would like to ask you something.
I know that the three basics elements of "Sound Design" based on "Effect", "Music" and "Dialog".
But due to the fusion of different Film genre I think that also the "Sound design" is in flux.
Sometimes I recognize in films that "Music" and the "Sound Effect"is mixed up together and playback together.

(e.g. 1. I can clearly hear out an Ambience sound but it is composed like a music composition¡¦
2. It is a "Sound Effect" but it is also composed like a music composition)

So my point is, "Film Sounds" which are composed like a music composition but which is in effect or represents at least a "Sound Effect" or an "Ambience Sounds"what is the technical term for it? Is there also a source about the definition of this technical term? If yes can you tell me the source or title so that I can buy it?

Sorry for bothering you but it would be great if you can help me out with those questions.

With best regards


Yours
Flora
