Jeff Wolpert dolling out the wisdom

Jeff and Sydney did some fantastic work while I was at Revolution Recording. They’ve setup a killer room downtown and have Wizard Services to offer. Here is a great lesson from a very learned man.

A Social Experiment

Posted on 20140316 by Anthony P. Kuzub

I’ve been thinking about a social experiment.
I often take calls from people looking for services, I’ve met a lot of great people in this industry and I do stand by their great work and contributions. So instead of fielding calls and answering the questions I’ve created a Wizard Services section at http://audioaholics.com/wizard_services

I am asking you my friends to use it to work, get work share work and do work together. I would like to consider it my rolodex

I’ve got the permission to post a few contacts and will be doing so this week.

I was over at Ward-Beck the other week and saw some really nice turrets coming off the line. Hand Made, versatile and robust.
Just what you like to see in something that’s going to have the crap kicked out of it by announcers and A2s.

this one is “en francais” – j’aimme le Talké / Backé button

Kevin was mentioning an updated version of this box…

There was also a R257-1 out with a built in 8 source router.

RUPERT NEVE!!!!

Posted on 20131222 by Anthony P. Kuzub

you know… I love this man and am forever in his debt. He’s made laboratory grade audio equipment available to music / broadcast industry for many years and his standards and interests have grown since his beginning. Truly a childlike interest in pushing the boundaries of the craft he practices. He applies raw physics to sound and you should watch this as a whole to appreciate the brilliance of his passion and dedication.

I’m glad someone as enthusiastic as Hutch Hutchison is at his side absorbing it all. (though he left RND)

Long live limitless analog technology!
Long live the passionate, curious and boundary pushing!
Long live Rupert Neve

Sound guy xmas idea #23 – Meyer MJF-210 “Texas headphones”

Posted on 20131129 by Anthony P. Kuzub

YES!!! Meyer just announced a new line of wedges. I’ve had nothing but an AMAZING experience working with the MJF-212 speaker and am excited for this smaller footprint monitor. I would have a six pack of these in my arsenal if I were still doing theatre sound. You should ask Santa for these!

Sound guy xmas idea #14 – A custom piece of studio furniture

Posted on 20131109 by Anthony P. Kuzub

If it’s not custom it’s crap. And, if it’s not designed and built with the love and respect for the craft like Brock at 2egress builds, it’s also crap.

I met Brock my first week in Toronto and was blown away by his designs and builds. The most elegant, tasteful, and quality Recording Studio Furniture on the market.

If you want to deliver something special to your special sound guy you will have to order it soon, like today if you want delivery by xmas.

Check out his website: 2egress.com and give him a call, he will inspire something you’ve never thought of.

Mixing Surround Sound in headphones…

Posted on 20130718 by Anthony P. Kuzub

there is a demo below… check it out in cans

The Spatial Sound Card App is a software based, virtual sound card. It provides speakers for stereo and surround monitoring for the computer with standard headphones.

Professional monitoring of audio content usually requires complex, high-quality speaker installations, for which both budget and space are needed. The Spatial Sound Card enables monitoring of stereo and surround up to 7.1 with a standard headphone on the computer.

The Spatial Sound Card is a virtual sound card that is inserted between software, operating system and audio hardware. The room virtualizations originate from a constantly growing number of high end studios and dub stages like the ARRI Stage One, MSM Munich and others. The technology used in the SSC was used on major Blu-Ray releases (e.g. The Expendables I and II).

To optimize the virtualization the SSC provides parameters to customize the frequency curve of the used headphones. Presets for a lot of well-known headphone models are included, more will follow soon.

The Spatial Sound Card works with all applications that support multichannel audio output. These include media players like VLC and FLAC-Player as well as video and audio workstations. The SSC is recommended for media professionals from the audio, video or games area as well as for agencies and companies with workstations that need high quality audio monitoring.

For now the Spatial Sound Card runs on MacOS 10.6.x and above, a version for Windows will come within the third quarter of this year.
