If you are a regular reader of Designing Sound, you probable know about Ric Viers, great person and a true multi-disciplinary of sound (and probably one of the funniest ever). Ric will be sharing a lot of cool stuff this month, so stay tuned!
Bio

His location sound credits include nearly every major television network, Universal Studios, Dateline, Good Morning America, Disney, and many others.

In 2007, Viers launched his own label, Blastwave FX, to celebrate the release of his 100th sound effects library.

About The Sound Effects Bible
According to George Lucas, “Sound is half the experience.” The Sound Effects Bible is the complete guide to recording, editing, and designing your own sound effects. If it snaps, crackles, pops, crashes, booms or bangs, it can be found somewhere in this first-ever book on the black art of Foley and sound effects. Imagine how your movies will come to life when you use the tried-and-true sound techniques that give films like The Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean and There Will Be Blood deeper dimensions in storytelling.
This definitive book covers microphone selection, field recorders, the ABCs of digital audio, understanding digital audio workstations, building your own Foley stage, designing your own editing studio, sound design, and much more.
Haha nice I was wondering if you guys would ever feature him on here.
