Cutting in laugh tracks simply was not done. Admittedly, I left the trade six years ago, but as of then there were no comprehensive audience laugh sequences which matched acoustically.</p> <p>Sitcoms as pioneered by DesiLu were shot, three cameras in front of a live audience who were miked for reactions and recorded as a separate track. Even so, nearly ALL laughs were sweetened in real time on the dub stage during the final mix. The " laugh mixer " had a small machine similar in concept to a Mellotron which was played out via a piano-like keyboard, ranging from snickers to howlingly long laughs . . . and they all matched acoustically. I believe the effects were recorded on a sound stage with 50 or 100 folks watching a silent comedy film.</p> <p>Hey now! Maybe some enterprising folks here might try recording a complete set of audience reactions and publish their own library?</p> <p> </p> <p>Rick Crampton</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sound-effect-laughter#post-73087 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:01:09 +0000 Tony Koretz 73087@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Laughter sound effects can be downloaded from <a href="http://rocksuresoundz.com">http://rocksuresoundz.com</a> .

You have the multiple sound files loaded and then just layer it in there. They have plenty of tutorials and support. I personally use Adobe Audition, but Audacity has pretty much all the same functionality of that.</p> <p><a href="http://www.audiomicro.com/free-sound-effects">Free Sound Effects</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/sound-effect-laughter#post-51956 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:38:28 +0000 HJB Productions 51956@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Thanks for the lead.
