My upcoming guest, Jeff Schmidt of Alien-Imaging, released a solid video about Dynamics in sound design elements.  One of the main reasons AI-FX are my goto libraries is the Dynamic range of the sounds.  Other libraries are good at this too…but  JEFF made a video explaining it AND he is coming […]

Izotope DDLY: FREE (’til March 10)

Posted on Posted in Blog

Let’s get back to blogging!!  I grabbed DDLY last week and immediately LOVE it.  I get overwhelmed by reverb and delay plugs sometimes.  Mainly because they offer so many ways to tweak and often I don’t have the time to really figure them out.  So… I keep going back to AIR […]

It was high time I had another recorded conversation with Kelly Doherty.  Since we last spoke she moved across the country, twice, and elevated to what might be the most prominent imaging position in the U.S.  Kelly is the Vice President of iHeartMedia.

The Original Voice of Urban Radio – not a self dubbed title but a view held by many in the format, Mitch Faulkner has been heard…everywhere!  I probably don’t really need to write much in the way of an intro ad he certainly doesn’t need any hype.  I’ll say this […]
