Analog Worldization

Guest contribution by Cormac Donnelly I am, at heart, a techno-nostalgiast and I’ve worked with tape machines of one kind or other for most of my career. When I sold my 2” multi-track, in 2010, I resolved almost immediately to get myself another tape machine (albeit something a little smaller than the 250kg Otari I had just parted with).

Creating the Spaces of Ambience

Guest contribution by Michael Theiler (Kpow Audio) Situating an Ambience When creating ambiences for games (this applies equally to film), I am striving to make them blend into the background and not mask any important in game sounds. For most ambiences, these are the most important qualities that I am attempting to resolve. In order to achieve this, I need to firstly focus on … [Read more...]

Guest contribution by By Douglas Murray OK, here is the ugly truth for film post, or really any surround sound work… Most reverb plug-ins do not sound natural for applications using greater than 1 or 2 speakers.

Reverb: The Science And The State-of-the-Art

December 18, 2012 by Jack Menhorn

Guest Contribution by Anish Chandak In the previous article by Ian Palmer on this month’s theme of Reverb, you have already seen various creative uses of Reverb. Here are my two cents to the creative: using reverb to synthesize physics-based sounds for percussion instruments.

Rewind…Audio Implementation Greats #3: Crackdown – Realtime Worlds

In the run-up to this month's reverb theme, former contributor Damian Kastbauer suggested we re-run this article he put together discussing the game Crackdown for XBOX. The article may be two years old, but the content remains undeniably relevant. Never one to ignore good suggestions, here we are... One area that has been gaining ground since the early days of EAX on the PC … [Read more...]

EMT 140 Plate Reverb

December 11, 2012 by Jack Menhorn

EMT 140 Plate Reverb

Guest Contribution by  Elizabeth McClanahan, Assistant Mixer at Heard City  EMT 140 Plate Reverb The majority of today’s common reverb plugins contain plate reverb settings, the designs of which are primarily based upon the popular Elektromesstechnik (EMT) 140 model plate. Upon its introduction in 1957, the EMT 140 Reverberation Unit quickly garnered popularity, providing a … [Read more...]
