Robert Dudzic on Sound Design with Cubase | The Winter NAMM Show 2020

At the winter NAMM Show 2020, Steinberg’s Greg Ondo sat down with sound designer, producer, engineer, composer and studio musician Robert Dudzic to discuss his work in sound design and movie sound effects. Robert’s sound effects can be heard on many high profile movie trailers, as well as television shows around the world. He has also produced several collections of sound and music effects, including the new RAID sound library. In this NAMM Show session, Robert showed his ‘behind the scenes’ video How I Do What I Do and demonstrated why Cubase is so important to his work.
