Mix Sound for Film and Television On September 17
Final Sound for Film Panelists Announced!
Immersive Sound takes center stage as part of the expert panel series at the third annual Mix Presents Sound for Film, to be held September 17 at Sony Pictures Studios, Culver City, Calif.
Building an Immersive Room: Small, Medium and Large
(Sponsored by Westlake Pro)
You don't need a Hollywood-sized re-recording stage to create a compelling immersive soundtrack. Small and mid-sized stages are being built throughout the country to feed the demand for film, television and gaming/VR content with three-dimensional sound. But you do need to know the basic requirements of system design and setup—from console/DAW integration to monitor placement—to ensure that the tracks translate to the outside world. In this discussion, chief engineers, studio designers, system integrators and leading immersive manufacturers detail how to build a small, medium and large immersive production space to fit any need.
Moderator: Jonathan Deans, CTO, Westlake Pro
Panelists: Bill Johnston, VP of Engineering, Formosa Group; Nathan Oishi, Director of Engineering, Sony Pictures Studios; Jerry Steckling, CTO, JSX; Mark Binder, re-recording mixer; Tom Brewer, re-recording mixer.

| | Tech Talk | Evolving Transducers
It wasn't that long ago that we started trusting digital enough to be all-in. Since then, and especially lately, the evolution of digital products has been stunning. As prices have gone down, features, capabilities and sound quality have ballooned. And while manufacturers have paid the most attention to the tools at the middle of our signal flows, the transducers at the front and back end have chugged along. Not that there hasn't been anything new, just not at the pace of the digital links in the chain. |

| | Featured Products | Mesanovic Microphones Model 2A
The Model 2A from Mesanovic Microphones ($1,199) is an active version of the company's Model 2 ribbon mic. The microphone features signature motor structure and custom designed resonator plates to provide extended, detailed and 3-D-like response found in the Model 2. The Model 2A's high output is provided by a custom, in-house wound, toroidal transformer. The phantom-powered electronics work as an impedance buffer and provide no additional gain or coloration to the sound. The result is 13 dB more output than the Model 2 and extremely low self-noise. The Model 2A will work with any preamplifier, including an entry-level interface or a high-end dedicated unit. The Model 2A is covered by a lifetime parts warranty and a free re-ribboning for the original owner within two years of purchase.
IK Multimedia T-RackS Saturator X
IK’s T-Racks S Saturator X ($79.99) brings the color, flavor and saturation effects of classic analog audio processing gear to digital recordings. Features include 10 individual styles of saturation and distortion from the gentle, subtle hint of drive from a slightly overdriven transformer to the full-on, aggressive “in-your-face” mayhem of tubes driven beyond their limit. The processor can be used as a plug-in on the individual tracks in a mix or as part of the T-RackS signal processor chain. Controls include Input Gain, Output drive (can be independent or inverse linked controls), Saturation Mode select, Brickwall limiter engages and Oversampling select. Saturator X also features a “Magic Eye” VU meter that quickly gives users a vintage-looking, visual indication of the amount of saturation being applied to the incoming signal. |
