In this episode of the Sound Design Live podcast, I talk to Nat Koren about his audio career with the San Francisco Opera. We answer these questions:

  • What are the pros and cons of working with the union?
  • How do you mix an opera?
  • What does a sound designer do for an opera?
  • What specialized gear do they use at the opera house?
  • How do they mix the show and operate 12 cameras without any humans in the room?
