Jamie Smith

Aug 30, 2019, by Flux

Composer, Sound engineer, owner of St. Mary’s Space, recording studio and arts space in the magical West Highlands of Scotland. My work happens at the intersection between experimentalism, improvisation and left-field rock and pop, which has allowed me to collaborate with many amazing artists, musicians, filmmakers, dancers and performers, including Akram Khan, Gavin Bryars, Kathryn Joseph and Misterlee. For the last few years I have been working almost exclusively ambisonically, that is to say, recording, synthesizing and mainly authoring into a spherical soundfield, which in the end is decoded for the required speaker layout. There are very few tools for this kind of pioneering work, allowing for the 16 channel wide tracks required by Third Order Ambisonic, Evo Channel is one of the best, allowing easy manipulation of several key components of a sound source; EQ, dynamics, and maintaining the...

Using Krotos Reformer Pro and Dehumaniser 2 to design a giant rock monster

Aug 13, 2019, by Krotos Audio

Tyler Hoffman is a sound designer and musician currently working at Yessian Music as an audio engineer. His passion is to create sound effects for video games and film. As a long-time Krotos user, he’s given us some insights in to how he’s used Krotos plugins in his sound design work. Tyler Hoffman website Tyler Hoffman on Using Krotos Dehumaniser 2 & Reformer Pro to design Colosse, the giant rock creature. I discovered Krotos back in 2016 while working on a sound design project for school. I owned no sound libraries and my universities libraries had no creature sounds I could manipulate to my liking. While looking up how creature vocalizations were created in The Desolation of Smaug film, there was an A Sound Effect article interviewing David Farmer.

It's Metric Halo for Hulu's Catch 22

Jul 22, 2019, by Metric Halo

Sound Designer Maurizio Argentieri Used Metric Halo’s Rock-Solid 3d System (with ULN-8 3d and 2882 3d Hardware) to Record and Mix 32 channels on the Set of Hulu’s Catch 22 SARDINIA, ITALY – JULY 2019: When veteran sound designer Maurizio Argentieri was asked to record all the production sound for the modern Hulu miniseries adaptation of the Joseph Heller novel Catch 22, he surmised that it would be a difficult but rewarding assignment. Catch 22 is the story of a World War II bombardier who is trapped by a twisted bureaucracy, and much of the action takes place on an air force base. Filmed on the old Olbia Airport (Venafiorita) in Sardinia Italy, Argentieri not only had to capture all of the gritty ambient sounds together with highly-intelligible dialog, but also had to deliver pre-fader tracks and several different immediate mixes for different purposes. After updating his truly future-proof Metric Halo interfaces (a five-year-old ULN-8 and a fifteen-year-old 2882) to work seamlessly with the very latest in digital... More

Voxengo Deft Compressor 1.8 track and bus compressor plugin released

Jul 17, 2019, by Voxengo

Voxengo Deft Compressor version 1.8 update is now available for download. Voxengo Deft Compressor is an audio track and bus compressor plugin for professional audio production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plugin formats, for macOS and Windows computers. Version 1.8 includes the following changes: Fixed a crash in Ableton 9. Added Retina support on macOS, and automatic high-resolution UI size adjustment on Windows. Up to 20% lower CPU usage on AVX2-capable processors. The characteristic feature of this compressor is its ability to produce “slim” and “slick” sounding compression, with intelligibility enhancement effect. Such result is achieved by compressor’s timing function that closely resembles the S-curve on both attack and release stages. The S-curve timing function means that the attack and release stages “look” like S-curve (sigmoid curve). Such curve sonically adds a very warm coloration, without sharp edge. Beside that, S-curve on longer release times possesses a... More

Voxengo Elephant 4.8 mastering limiter plugin released

Jul 6, 2019, by Voxengo

Voxengo Elephant version 4.8 is now available for download. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plugin for professional audio and sound production applications, available in AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats, for macOS and Windows computers. Changes in version 4.8: Added "1-Bit" dither noise option. Added the overall integrated loudness readout. Added channel names to the statistics panel. Added the "EL INS" limiter algorithm. Changed gain reduction metering from relative to absolute. The “EL INS” is a clipper-like (“instant”) limiter algorithm, without release timing elements, but with a look-ahead transient smoothing taking place. This mode is effective for EDM production where signal is limited to bring more energy to it. This algorithm is like the “Clip” algorithm, it produces more distortion in comparison to other algorithms. The “TransTime” parameter affects the look-ahead time and the degree of transient smoothing taking place. Elephant is a highly... More
