If there's a larger environment or a parking lot or empty space that we need to emphasize more of the roominess of the feet or any prop, then we add the certain related Altiverb room effect to it. I have three faders basically: close mic, room mic, and a reverb mic ascending. That way, the combination of the three kind of helps us capture a better Foley, natural to what it is. Then, our preamp is a Millennia, and we have a compressor which is the Distressor. It's from the music [side], but we use it because it's subtle and doesn't process too much. I personally don't use compressors at all unless I have to. I like to record as natural as I can. And we have an S3, basically a console, right here. This is where I record Foley. I want to ask you about your hobbies. What do you like to do outside of work? Ryan: Outside of work? I—I don't understand the—what, what is that? [laughter] Since I made the joke, I guess I'll start. I like to go hiking. I like to spend time outside. I was an avid skateboarder as a younger person and, every now and then, I think that I'm still young enough to do that, but am quickly reminded that I shouldn't be. And spending time with my kids. Sean: I spend as much free time as possible playing poker. I really enjoy a good poker tournament. I've been starting to get certified for scuba diving. We have a family boat, which is for sale, by the way, if anybody would like to buy it. We just try to spend as much time outside as possible, you know? Life's short. Arno: Mine is also spending time with my family because I have an almost 1 year old and a 5½ year old, so my time is pretty full when I go back home. So, pretty much, whatever they want to do is what I want to do—that kind of a deal. But on my own time, I'm a musician, I like to play piano. I play jazz, so that's kind of my hobby on the side. Music and all that. Brent: My wife Kelly is my best friend, and so when the little bit of time that I would call "discretionary," because I say yes to too many things work-related, I really try to make sure that we do as much stuff together as we can in that little bit of precious time. That could be working on the yard or working on the car or something because we're both kind of into cars. And if it's not football season, we'll be doing something like that. So, I try to focus on keeping the most important thing in my life, still in my life. I owe where I'm at so much to her for her support over the years. Jamison: No small feat in this industry sometimes. You have those late nights, those weekends, those 60-hour weeks. I had a blast during COVID. I mean, I took on every hobby I could.
