Randall W. Macdonald

What's the best thing about your job?
The best thing about my job is transforming silence into an experience. Whether it's creating a symphony out of everyday sounds or crafting the perfect sonic backdrop, there's nothing more satisfying than knowing my work resonates in a listener's mind long after the final note fades
How does sound influence the perception of video?
Sound is like the secret sauce in a recipe—without it, video would be pretty bland. It shapes the mood, guides the narrative, and can make a simple scene unforgettable. It’s the unsung hero that turns visuals into an experience
What's your secret talent?
My secret talent? I’m like a drummer who fills every pocket in the beat—I make every sound fit perfectly within both the musical grid of bars and beats, and the timeline of frames and seconds. It's like solving a puzzle where two worlds don’t always align, but I love making them sync up seamlessly
Most memorable studio moment?
My most memorable studio moments often unfold in Studio 2. It’s a legendary room where work seamlessly turns into celebration, and where some of the best stories and sounds come to life after hours
The key part to any soundtrack is?
The key part to any soundtrack is its ability to enhance the story without overpowering it. It’s about finding the perfect balance between supporting the narrative and letting the emotions of the scene breathe, so every moment feels as dynamic and impactful as it should
My favourite sound process is?
My favorite sound process is crafting unique sonic textures from unexpected sources. I love experimenting with unconventional sounds and turning them into something new and immersive, blending creativity with technical skill to make every project stand out.
