Audio pros Mathew Waters and Danika Wikke share a passion for the smart, funny world of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. The show stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as three crime-obsessed fans who find themselves at the center of a murder in their New York City apartment building, The Arconia. The show recently streamed its fourth season. "Together, we've shaped the show's sound, leaning into its humor with playful vocal efforts like gasps and mutters — some even featuring our own voices as background characters," says Waters. "We rely on tools like Izotope RX, Pitch Legacy, Hush, Auto-Align Post, Dialogue Match, Slapper and Fab Filter, but our instincts and experience drive the creative mosaic of sound that brings this series to life."
