Production Buzz Podcast with Ric Viers, NAB 2009
Check out what Ric Viers, founder of Blastwave FX, has to say about creating sound effects.
NAB Highlights
NAB 2009 was a hit, so much so that we’re already excited for next year. And fortunately, the convention center’s air conditioning made up for the desert heat.
Feedback on our HD sound effects libraries was invaluable – the following features were received particularly well:
- Fresh, New Sounds: All Blastwave FX libraries are new, native 24/96 and recorded within the last three years. This gives you the advantage of using the most contemporary, realistic, and technically clean sounds. Sounds of the world change with time, and so should sound effects.
- Hard Drive | USB | DVD | Download: We deliver our libraries on multiple formats from larger libraries on Hard Drive (Blastdrive, SONOPEDIA, wavFX) to smaller, niche libraries on DVDs, USB drives and download.
- Spanning A to Z and then some: The Blastwave FX Catalog spans Ambiences to Zippers with all the Lasers, Whooshes, and Stingers you can handle in between.
- Blastwave FX Search Engine (Mac/PC): Crucial in today’s production workflow, our search engine allows you to efficiently Search, Browse, Audition and Drag N’ Drop into any application from Pro Tools to Avid and more.
Ric Viers, head of Blastwave FX and author of the Sound Effects Bible, highlights his NAB 2009 experience in this video:
