EFX vs. SFX
 
Hey,

Can someone provide definition for EFX vs. SFX? Doing some sound design, just a little confused on how to properly label things for mix...

Thanks!
Nathan

pick one.. both work. I use SFX. I've seen both. Mostly SFX though.

but I can't hear the DX above the BKD, or is it BG and the NAT above the MX.

asked by a director in a session I was working " um, geo, can you change the room tone?"
me " uh, sure.. what do you want?"
dir " well, it doesn't have enough stuff in it"
me" ah, you mean the ambience needs a bit more people, or bar sounds in the background of the scene?"
dir " welll, no... not really, thats' ok, but the tone is wrong"
me " errr. tone?"
dir " uh, yean a bit more and darker is what I wanted"
me" hmm... darker, more room tone..... hmmm.... AHHH!"

I take the single violin note running in the soundtrack and replace it with a bit of "fuller, darker" score from another scene....

Dir " Yes.. that's much better room tone."

:cool:

me: " glad you like it... sigh"

..back to mixing...

he knew what he wanted, he just didn't know the definitions.
cheers
