Immersive Audio at the 360 Paris Music Factory with Flux:: and Akagera

May 28, 2020, by Flux

The 360 Paris Music Factory venue opened in the beginning of February 2020, in the heart of the Barbès district in Paris, and then presented its first immersive concert, a unique musical experience, created by the Orléans jazz trio Akagera. In our collaboration with Akagera we have been working in the 360 Paris Music Factory with the concert spatialisation aspect of the project. It’s a quite small venue, with less than 200 seats and a total capacity of 300 with the tiers folded back. The acoustics in the venue is very controlled and quite dry, making it an ideal situation for spatialisation and for playing with the direct sound, bringing an additional dimension to the spectator’s experience. The 360 Music Factory now offers a pleasant setting for us to work there with immersive audio, the whole system is now already setup and installed, which is a huge relief... More

Unexpected Discoveries in Sci-Fi Weaponry Sounds Krotos are excited to introduce Pulse Energy Weapons: an exclusive Sci-Fi Weaponry Library by award-winning sound designer Paul Stoughton (Skywalker Sound / Star Wars VR). Working as an Audio Lead in Immersive Audio at Skywalker Sound, Paul’s most recent project was the Golden Reel winning VR experience Star Wars: Vader Immortal.

SPAT Revolution a Creative Playground for Sound Designer Jonas Gehrmann

May 21, 2020, by Flux

Berlin, Germany—April 2020… Given his background mixing front-of-house for rock bands, it’s no surprise that when Sphereo sound designer and 3D audio operator Jonas Gehrmann discusses immersive audio, he focuses a lot on music use cases. “In the end, immersive audio for concerts should be about music and not about technology,” he insists. “If you make an immersive concert mix where stuff is flying around, after two minutes it’s boring. We might use FLUX:: Immersive’s SPAT Revolution to create a more 360 degree image of the stage from the viewers position, so you are standing next to the guitar player and you hear the drums and guitar from there. We can use it to create a space for the in-ear monitors, where you usually wouldn’t hear the onstage sound. We create an immersive experience on the stage, but it’s still within the music; it’s not a rollercoaster ride.”... More

Metric Halo Plug-ins are Grammy-Nominated Mix Engineer Jesse Ray Ernster's Secret Weapon

May 1, 2020, by Metric Halo

SAFETY HARBOR, FLORIDA – APRIL 2020: Regarding his chosen profession, Grammy-nominated mix engineer Jesse Ray Ernster pleads that he really had no choice. “My dad produced and mixed in a studio in our house, so growing up I was surrounded by instruments and exposed to an endless parade of bands. My career choice wasn’t up to me. I caught the recording bug!” Ernster is passionate about good music irrespective of genre, and he spends his days bouncing between projects. A typical day may involve a rock record in the morning, a few hip-hop tracks in the afternoon, and an Afrobeat session in the evening. After years cutting his teeth as a recording engineer, most notably for Kayne West’ Yandhi and Jesus is King albums, Ernster has made the slow pivot to full-time mix engineer. He mixed Burna Boy’s African Giant, which earned a 2019 Grammy nomination for Best World Music Album. After many successful years using Metric Halo’s flagship plug-in ChannelStrip “on just about everything,” Ernster recently met the Metric Halo team at NAMM and... More

Internationaal Theater Amsterdam Takes Immersive Audio On Tour with SPAT Revolution

Apr 27, 2020, by Flux

Amsterdam, The Netherlands—April 2020… Internationaal Theater Amsterdam (ITA) is both a theater venue and home to a large-scale, international traveling company presenting established and new theater and dance works. Led by director Ivo van Hove, ITA has increasingly worked with immersive sound environments in recent years. It can be demanding in its home theater, and can present special challenges when the company travels. “One of our venues is about 600 seats, a modern blackbox theater,” remarks ITA sound department member and sound system designer Erwin Sterk. “But we also tour to huge auditoriums with 2,000 seats, and it was quite hard to have our streams or files for immersive audio working in different speaker setups.” Sterk and his team could partially meet the challenges with various combinations of software but none were entirely satisfactory until they started...

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 renowned 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.

358 ENHANCER RELEASE

Apr 7, 2020, by MIA Laboratories

We proudly announce the release of 358 ENHANCER The 358 Enhancer is a single-stage, ‘straight-path’ process allowing control of the bass/treble frequency balance of a stereo mix or mono channel. It can be used in many applications requiring from slight to more drastic frequency balance correction, but unlike a conventional EQ or filter, the 358 uses internal multiband phase processing. This results in a more dynamic, realistic frequency content which is adjustable with two main controls for constructive (boost) process, folding at the classic 150Hz (LF) and 2.4KHz (HF) frequencies. The internal process includes a detection stage based on the analog envelope detector circuit, first introduced in our 925 Compressor In addition, the ‘Phase-Compensation’ mode (PHASE COMP. button) applies a fixed process to the whole bandwidth of the program material, for stereo image enhancement on two-channel mix or mix-buss applications. This ‘phase-deviation’ process has been developed carefully as a... More

Composer Josh Peck is Immersed in the Healing Properties of Sound with SPAT Revolution

Apr 2, 2020, by Flux

Hudson Valley, NY – April 2020… When British playwright William Congreve first coined the phrase, “music has charms to soothe the savage beast,” he likely had no idea of the depth of that observation. The therapeutic properties of music have been proven to exceed even our wildest expectations, and have long been a focus of the medical, neuroscience, and wellness communities. For multi-instrumentalist Josh Peck, the power of music as a healing force is something he has quite literally immersed himself into. From his home base at the Sound Dojo, a 20.2 channel immersive retreat he designed and built in New York’s Hudson Valley, the classically trained composer and sound designer merges immersive soundscapes and the healing arts, utilizing FLUX Immersive’s SPAT Revolution software to create a wide range of exhibits and experiential events.

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.
