| | Posted: | | | | Doing some research for another thread I ran into an interesting problem:
The credit is "Sound Effects Design".
Strictly by the rules this would be incorrect, on the other what else is there to design on sounds than the "Effects", so isn't basically any "Sound Designer" a "Sound Effects Designer"?
What do you think? | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | I'm so tempted to choose the third choice  But as Neill said sound effects aren't a jobs section we profile (at least the database don't), so "sound effects designer" isn't more profilable than "sound effects recordist" or "sound effects editor" would be. | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |
