- Began his career in films as head of the sound department at Hal Roach Studios. Raguse initially worked as the on-set sound recordist but by 1932 delegated other sound mixers to this task, while Raguse supervised the final mix of the soundtrack. At that time, it was virtually a one-man job, whereas today there are dozens of technicians involved in post-production sound mix. At a smaller studio like Hal Roach Studios, the film editor also cut together the sound and music tracks for the short films.
