A very ambitious film that we worked on has now gone live on DUST, an online Sci-Fi platform that has over a million subscribers.

We worked closely with Director Chris Keller remotely while he was based in Vancouver, to realise his creative vision for the Sound Design and 5.1 Mix.

We also communicated closely with the very talented Composer Alex Wallace to ensure his music was mixed and positioned in such a way that it envelops the audience in both the 5.1 Surround and Stereo versions.

The Visual Effects were completed by world renowned studio Double Negative.

The film was awarded Best Sound Design at Dublin International Short Film and Music Festival.

We hope you enjoy watching!

We recently had the pleasure of completing Sound Design, Foley and Final Mix on a new recruitment campaign for the Duke of Lancaster Army Regiment. The campaign consists of three videos which highlight different roles within the army.

The films were produced by Red Pencil Productions who are one of our most valued partners, this being our fourth project together. The brief was to highlight the positive aspects of joining the armed forces, whilst ensuring the sound design had an element of gritty realism.

Here is the film's Producer Joseph Mcdonald telling us more about the production process:

The first video in the campaign has already received 35,000 views, and has been met with very good reception from the public including comments such as:

'Best army recruitment video to date'

'Modern and straight to the point'

'This made me want to rejoin'

We are very happy to have played a part in what is a very ambitious production!

Product Reviews

Company: Signum Audio

Product: Bute Limiter

Price: Stereo - £59 Surround - £99

Our Rating: 4.8/5

Bute Limiter provides high fidelity pro-audio limiting. Smooth and transparent with its True Peak Brickwall Limiter, you’ll find superior sound quality for use on a final master or individual tracks during mixing. We previously reviewed Bute Loudness Suite which includes the Limiter as part of it's punchy package.

No Limits

Bute limiter supports common mix formats from Stereo up to 10 channel Dolby Atmos. An algorithm was built from the ground up to ensure no true peak overshoots while retaining a transparent and smooth limiter sound. It includes a variety of release modes which are suitable for different types of music or mixes. Some of these include pumping, linear and transparent.

Of course, this plugin is ideal for Audio Post Studios and Sound Designers, and in our opinion is best paired with the entire Loudness Suite. Priced at the same level as budget limiters, you get a simple and intuitive tool that performs the same functions with the latest algorithms. It is also useful for mastering sound effects or music.

A Great Tool

Very little can be said to improve this limiter, it’s price point is excellent and it gets our recommendation for post production mixers who are mixing in surround or stereo formats.

It would be amazing to see the loudness analysis tools for LUFS implemented into the limiter, but that is a big stretch considering it's price point. You will need BUTE Loudness Analyser for that.
