Wylie Stateman (Django Unchained, Godless, Hateful 8), Valerie Deloof (The Sisters Brothers), Mandell Winter (Deadwood: The Movie, Magnificent 7, Meek’s Cutoff) and Don Sylvester (3:10 To Yuma) tell us about how they approach Sound Design for Westerns. From horses & guns to gritty foley & ambiences, we cover it all to make the wide open spaces of the old west come to life with sound.

Huge “thank you” to Sue Malpass in the UK! She edited and mixed this episode.  It was a super complicated edit for reasons that are now completely impossible to tell, because she did such a great job. She works out of Tonic Sound and has an amazing list of credits.  It truly humbles us that she would offer her time to help us out.  Thanks again Sue.
