Apr 2, 2020, by Flux

Tokyo, Japan – April 2020… Shinjuku has a long history as one of Tokyo’s most vibrant areas, and Waseda is arguably the district’s cultural and creative nexus. The area is home to the reknowned Waseda University, as well as numerous museums, theaters, night clubs, and performance spaces. Waseda’s newest venue, the Artware Hub, opened its doors in late 2019. Commissioned by the Kakehashi Arts and Cultural Foundation, the space is the realization of a lifelong dream of Roland Corporation founder and visionary Ikutaro Kakehashi.

The concept for the space was brought to life by Ikuo... More

Trailer Sound Design: Tips & Tricks

Apr 1, 2020, by Krotos Audio

5 Tips for Designing Sound for a Trailer Designing sounds for a trailer is a challenging task. The goal is to grab the attention of the viewer so that they cannot wait to see the full release. At the same time, you need to be careful not to fall into various trailer sound cliches and make the trailer fade away into the sea of sameness. Did I also mention that it’s all probably on a very limited time scale? Did it suddenly get hot in here? Fear not, as this blog post is here to help you on your trailer-making journey (especially if you are just starting out and feel a bit overwhelmed), and – hopefully – alleviate some of the stress and maybe even inspire you to consider some approaches. Over the course of this post, I’ll be looking at general best practices, ideas and we’ll also take a look at how software and libraries from Krotos can help you get your creative gears going and let you work faster and more efficient, leaving more time for the fun parts of the job.

Canopy LA’s Moore is Immersed in Spat Revolution

Mar 20, 2020, by Flux

Los Angeles, CA – March 2020… Like many audio professionals, Braeger Moore started out as a performing musician before turning his attention to recording and audio engineering. A native of Texas, he graduated from Texas Tech, then attended the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Sciences in Phoenix, where he met future business and creative partner Nate Greene. The two migrated to Los Angeles in 2013 and opened a small recording studio, mostly producing, mixing, and mastering records for hip hop and indy artists. Although the studio proved profitable, Moore and Greene sought new challenges. When they met Clay Schmitt in 2017, the pieces fell into place, and the three partners formed Canopy LA, a sound studio focused on developing immersive audio for interactive, story-driven experiences. It wasn’t long before Moore’s position as Technical Director and Audio Technologist... More

925 COMPRESSOR RELEASE

Feb 9, 2020, by MIA Laboratories

We proudly announce the release of our preferred Main mix – Buss Compressor: MIA Laboratories 925 Designed using physical modelling principles, based around the classic ‘feed-back’ topology in hardware circuit-design. The 925 side-chain detection stage is based on the analog envelope detector circuit. Key design design features include: Variable knee response allowing more compression to be applied, esp. on high-transient sounds like percussion, samples, vocals etc. Logarithmic gain reduction, since the ear’s sense of sound level is roughly logarithmic. When used in extreme settings on sounds with long sustain, it can produce a distortion effect. This happens when due to the high speed of the detector, it follows the actual waveform instead of the envelope of the program material. After a lot of consideration it was decided not to exclude setting range, as the process is very much program dependent. Instead the user is given full control, since even if some settings... More
