Mahna Mahna

So it appears that I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping the blog updated.

I've had a very busy start to 2013 as an Assistant Sound Editor at 740 Sound Design collaborating with some great clients. I was stoked to see some of the spots we've been working on at 740 air during the Super Bowl. Here are a few to check out -


And here's a non-SB commercial I'd like to share, just because it makes me laugh every time I watch it -



Outside of work, the more I've been diving into iZotope Iris the more I've fallen in love. It's amazing the unique sounds you can create. I've been having a blast losing track of time with it. It's the most fun I can remember having since I first started using NI Kontakt. 4 out of 5 times when I import sounds into it thinking nothing more than 'this could be cool' I don't end up with anything much, but that 1 time when I do it's awesome! Perhaps the biggest challenge with Iris is coming up with descriptions and tags for the crazy sounds. I honestly don't think I'd turn to it if I was for example under a deadline for a revision, but I'm hopeful someday I'll be involved on a project where I'll get to use some sounds from my Iris folder. If you haven't yet, I absolutely recommend demoing it.
