VIDEO: Solar & BendingBus, “Living the MH life!” with a new LIO-8 3d System

May 14, 2019, by Metric Halo

MAY 2019: Solar & the folks at BendingBus recently completed a major studio update, centered upon Metric Halo 3d routing and three LIO-8 3d converter/interfaces. I used 3x LIO8 in a 96K recording/mixing setup running off a mac laptop. It's all built around Metric Halo's brilliant routing which eliminated a ridiculous amount of cabling. He takes a moment to share this experience with the MIO Users Group: “Here’s a repost from the gearslutz 3d thread <https://www.gearslutz.com/board/showpost.php?p=13973675&postcount=1547> showing a fairly complicated studio setup using Metric Halo. Might be useful to people here; all kinds of crazy routing happening. More

Accusonus and Krotos Launch the Clean Monsters Bundle Accusonus and Krotos have joined forces to offer you a special, time-limited bundle until 26th May 2019.

[VIDEO] - How To Listen: Reference Mixes

May 10, 2019, by Puremix

In general, our ears can be extremely impressionable from day to day. Some days we'll hear a piece of music and think it is dark. The next day, we may feel it's bright. All of this can cause havoc when trying to mix. Sure, we think we know our speakers and our rooms, but even then it's easy to forget things like "how bright should this be?" "Do I have enough low end in my mix?" Enter reference mixes. Reference mixes can serve as the roadmap to a great mix, and they can help answer questions when you find your ears feeling confused. In this pureMix.net Exclusive, Multi Award Winning Engineer, Fab Dupont explains how he uses reference mixes to establish a baseline while he is mixing in different rooms, after long sessions, and as a tool to calibrate his own ears each day. Fab will explain: The importance of using a reference mixHow to choose a reference mixHow to use a reference mixReference mix workflowLearn how to find and use your own reference mixes from Fab Dupont, only on puremix.net Watch Now More

Polysquasher achieves its goal by using a unique compression algorithm which requires a small number of parameters – basically... More

Mar 27, 2019, by Metric Halo

SAFETY HARBOR, FLORIDA – MARCH 2019: “I really like the idea of not throwing gear away!” So says Dan Roe, who, for the past fifteen years, has served as pre-production programmer, playback engineer, and keyboard tech for the massive regional and international tours of Madonna, Peter Gabriel, Depeche Mode, Rhianna, Adele and many more. Roe studied at the London collage of music, and his solid work ethic and aptitude earned him an entry-level gig at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios.

Interview with Robert Ramirez – Using Reformer Pro to Create Taser Sounds in Titans

Mar 18, 2019, by Krotos Audio

Interview with Sound Designer Robert Arturo Ramirez Award-winning sound designer Robert Ramirez has worked on Family Guy, American Dad, Arrow, and Titans among many other titles. We caught up with him to find out about his background, work, techniques and how he used the Krotos Weaponiser and Dehumaniser 2 plug-ins in Arrow and Titans. Robert Ramirez’s obsession for sound design began in his early childhood. He remembers a visit to the laundromat, where the TV in the background played a short special on Ben Burtt, which was when Ramirez learned he was the creator of the sounds in his favourite movies. His father worked as a janitor at Stanford University Hospital, sometimes finding discarded old tape recorders and other sound equipment that he could salvage to bring home for Robert. Robert began to find opportunities to work in sound while growing up in the church, and by age 14, he was already helping mix the services and music performances.... More
