How much Fun would it be to have the opportunity to record one of the few working B17 “Flying Fortress” planes that are still operational? The sound team from AppleTV’s “Masters Of The Air” got to do just that. They were able put 60 microphones all over the B17, to record every part of it that made a sound. Then they took those sounds back to the sound editorial team and turned them into to the amazing sound design of the air battles featured in the series. Supervising sound editor Jack Whittaker and re-recording mixers Michael Minkler & Duncan McRae tell us all about the challenges this series presents and the ways they met them.
