Academy Award-winning audio post production and sound editorial house SoundStorm has opened a new sound transfer room. The new room provides ProTools HD and Fairlight digital audio workstations, a wide array of digital and analog audio tape machines, digital and analog video, and even magnetic film.
The wide array of equipment and technologies is essential to SoundStorm’s ability to transfer material between virtually any format, to accommodate the many complex requirements of their feature film, television, game, and commercial editorial work, as well as to take full advantage of the vast library of sound effects they have accumulated over many years.
The project was planned and executed by Bruce Black, a noted motion picture post production sound engineer and consultant.
“Transfer operations can be far more complex than may appear at first glance,” says Black. “The complexity becomes really apparent when you start laying out plans to ensure that any one piece of gear can ‘talk’ to any other.”
“The pressing needs of both ongoing and pending projects also required SoundStorm’s downtime during this project to be cut to the absolute minimum. Careful planning and well organized project management kept the timetables on track, and we did quite well keeping the work flowing,” Black adds.
