Inside the World of Sound

I’ve spent more than 25 years designing and mixing sound for film, television, advertising, and immersive experiences, collaborating with teams at Netflix, HBO, Disney, Warner Bros., Apple, Nike, and more.

I’m the founder of Defacto Sound, a creative audio agency focused on premium sound design and mixing, and the host of Twenty Thousand Hertz, the documentary podcast about the stories behind the world’s most iconic sounds.

This channel goes behind the scenes with the people responsible for sound and music at the highest levels, from live television and theme parks to theatrical mixes and immersive installations.

We explore how sound is built, mixed, and performed under real-world pressure.

Sound quietly shapes how we experience the world.

This channel makes that work visible.

I filmed the latest Olympics audio profile at 12:30p last Wednesday, edited nonstop until 4a, passed it along to my team at Defacto Sound for mix and finishing, gave NBC a 24 hour window for review, then published at 6p eastern yesterday. I’m really proud of it. Give it a watch!

I need your help.

If you love what I am building and making here on YouTube, you play a critical role in how this channel grows from here.

👂🏻 Here's the truth about how YouTube works:

When a new video shows up for you, especially on the first day, the strongest signal YouTube has is whether subscribers click it and watch it all the way through. That tells the algorithm that people who know this channel are committed, and it should show the video to more people.

That one action matters more than anything else.

So when you see one of my videos served to you:

✅ Click it
✅ Watch it all the way through
✅ Give hype points if you see them
✅ Like, comment, or share if it genuinely resonated (your comments fuel me!!)

Those signals decide whether these sound stories stay niche or reach a much wider audience.

If you have ever thought, “more people should see this,” it is actually *you* who makes that happen.

Thank you so much for your help. The fact that you are here early on this channel means a lot to me. I am incredibly grateful for you, and I need your help to get it out to more people. 🙏

2025 was a great year and I only started YouTube in late June! Can’t wait to share what’s coming in 2026.
