Sound Recording

Yes, I have one of these, and I know what to do with it.:

Pressure gradient receiver with short interference tube
Hypercardioid at low and medium frequency
Above 2kHz approaches lobar pattern

and it sounds great

Sound Post Production:

Here is an example:

 The Last Temptation of Jeff

I have specialised in hard disc digital sound editing for serious broadcast clients since 1988 and have enough experience of the ever expanding range of systems available, to know that the most effective real productive and creative work is best done on a familiar well tried system which can be trusted to consistently do the job. This must be set up in a pleasant working environment and produce a deliverable end product.

Current Dubbing Suite set up:

Avid/Digidesign AudioVision version 4.10 with 16 channels of 888 DSP in/out racks and 24 track tracklaying on a 9600 Avid converted Mac.

also running pro Tools 5 on the same system using the same I/O and video playback engine.

OMF conversions using DigiTranslator.

SoundFile conversions using Soundhack.

Yamaha 02R 5.1 surround sound desk with digital I/O to record and playback 16 channels of Audiovision - enables real time 5.1 mixing and monitoring using all the internal dynamics, eq, automation, and effects of the desk.

Roland R880 studio digital reverb with 4 analogue and digital outputs.

Timeline machine, timecode, rs422/232, clock, control synchroniser.

Genelec 5.1 monitoring system.

USB, DVD support via networked pc system also running Avid, Soundforge, Noise reduction, CD Architect etc.

Panasonic video projector

Dvd player

18 Gbyte of on line sound effects, and a huge library of sound effects cds with descriptions searchable on a database.

This is a tried and tested system, and in my view is still the quickest and most creative way to tracklay and mix, as most changes can be heard in real time, and sound effects can be tried out very quickly.

 I will however, work on any system at client's premises, where the workrate and flexibility is determined by the facilities provided, Obviously, Final Cut, and Soundtrack Pro are used heavily in community and mid range productions, and I can help to acheive good results using my experience of sound dubbing in film and television.
