Sound design on Transformers 2 was 100% original

submitted by arvana

Erik Aadahl was the sound designer for the Transformer movies: "With one single homage exception, all of the sounds we used for both Transformer films were done from scratch, recorded and designed from the ground up without the help of library or stock sound effects."

The second movie still sucked, but I have to admit the sound was nice.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but to my (not inexperienced) ears there was no subtlety nor artistry to any of the sound design in this movie. It was nothing but a constant overwhelming assault, overly compressed and turned up to 11.

Surely the Decepticons would have seen their heat patterns or something? I mean, can they see in infra-red or something? They're robots.

Agreed therealblankman, regardless of the amaaaazing ingenuity, the film was a full-on irritating aural assault....I am speaking of the entire script, especially the exchanges between the hero and heroine.Lame.

...and Pearl Harbor sucked sweaty, unwashed, balls.

MA BA SPLOOOM!!

Well, you would not expect them to say anything bad about the movie they worked on.

I appreciate the fact they avoided such overused crap like the "howling wind" sample that I have heard in dozens of movies but at the same time it was indeed the equivalent of someone just railing on a drumset randomly for most of the movie.
