  • About
    I am a Freelance Audio Engineer based in Austin, TX. I have been working as a freelance audio engineer in the Austin area since 2004. I am a classically trained Violist and started my tenure at UT as a Music Major, but I soon found my love for Audio Production.

    After spending several years studying studio recording and mixing under Professor Mark Sarisky, I began specializing in sound for film starting in 2006.

    Since then I have taken on a number of roles in both production and post-production sound. In 2006, I worked as a sound editing intern and foley recordist/mixer on the Independent Feature Film, Cassidy Kids.

    This experience sparked my interest in sound-for-picture and motivated me to apply for and be subsequently accepted into the film program at the University of Texas at Austin.

    Over the last seven years I have worked on a growing number of projects ranging from student shorts to feature-length documentary and narrative films for web, broadcast and theatrical release. I have extensive experience recording, editing and mixing sound. Recent projects I mixed have been released theatrically in DCP format as well as distributed via DVD, Blu-Ray, iTunes and aired on television.

    I am determined to leave my mark on the film world. I feel the best way to make a film great is to have the best possible sound, and I strive to bring this mentality to every project I work on;

    Pulled the trigger on an Ambeo VR. Should be in next week!
  2. Korey Pereira
    Has anyone by chance done a comparison between the Ambeo VR and Tetramic?
  3. Korey Pereira
    Agreed, thanks John (and Ramallo) for the in-depth responses! I am leaning towards moving on the Sennheiser as I don't quite think I am ready budget-wise to jump into the Soundfiled offerings yet! If nothing else, if/when I do upgrade again it sounds like the Ambeo would be a good one to have in harsher recording environments / as a backup. I will share my findings once I have it and have a chance to take it for a spin. Thanks all!

    Anyone had any real world experience with the Ambeo VR yet? I am considering picking one up for ambience/bg recording for film and some potential VR work. No one in Austin has one available to rent/test, so wanted to get input before making a blind purchase :-)

    Hello, Working on a doc that is partially set in rural Iraq / Afghanistan. As a lot of it is shot in 3D, I thought it would be nice to include some Ambisonic backgrounds as a layer in the mix. Thought I would see if anyone had any they would be willing to share!

    I also use the Hawkwoods to power my 788t+SRb and this would make my life so much easier - looks like it is time to get a new bag with a bottom hatch! Thanks for the idea!!

    Marc, Yes, I see myself using Wave Agent much more. I will have to make it a later purchase, but I am excited about the CL-Wifi as well. I have always been in the habit of naming tracks/takes/folders, so wont be much of a change there. With the 788 and a keyboard (and eventually CL-Wifi) it will be much easier to enter notes, which I feel like was my biggest reason for holding onto paper logs for so long. While I am still a young(ish) guy, I often feel I am behind the times :-)

    pkautzsch, many thanks - that was exactly what I was looking for. After reading through everything, that seemed like the most logical choice, but good to have confirmation the R gets dropped. I try to keep meticulous logs with good ol LSC 2-track soundlogs, but will probably start going digital w/ the 788t. Went ahead an ordered one of the recommended usb keyboards which will make that a bit easier! Thanks again!

    I am excited to be upgrading my 744t+442 to a 788t+CL8 and have a quick question about track assignment. With my previous setup, I had always done a mono mix on the 442 sent to camera and 4 isos recorded to the 744t. With the 788t I am looking forward to being able to also record the mono mix track. Also going to (hopefully soon) be using the 788t for ambisonic / quad ambience recordings for my work in post. My question to y'all 788t users is: are you putting the mono mix on the L record track or are you putting in on Track A or X1/X2? If nothing is assigned to R, will it NOT record or will I get a blank track? My goal would be to have the mono mix show up first, hence my leaning towards the L, being able to keep my 1-8 to A-H assignments for Boom followed by lavs. Interested to see how folks are routing things!

    Looking forward to trying it out!
  11. Korey Pereira
    Hummm... Very interesting. Looking forward to trying this out at some point!
  12. Korey Pereira
    Agreed, thanks for sharing - is there any trick settings wise to getting the EK100 to receive the signal (other than tuning to the right channel of course)?

    I forgot to mention model / iOS in my email. 5s running 7.1.1 I too also have an iPad 2

    Thank you all for your input! So after stewing on it for a few days, I decided to go for broke (literally) and opted for an SRb + (2) SMV after all! I feel that in the long run, this will be a much better investment and last me a lot longer than an older system like the 210D. I agree with several comments that the G3s still have uses, especially as mono hops to DSLRs / timecode (hadn't thought of that one) / video village. I am going to sell one of my G3-B units + SKP100-B to help offset my purchase. For now I am going to hold on to my two working RX and one TX. Thanks Constantin for the suggestion - I have sent my dead TX off to Sennheiser for repair. NOW the last thing I need to do is figure out what to do about mics for the SMVs... I do have a Countryman EMW tan and a DPA 4061 Lo-Sens both wired for Senn G3. Would it be a better idea to have these rewired for the SMV or sell them and put the money towards (2) Cos11-D? Thanks again for the support from everyone!

    I am currently using G3 wireless for production sound. I have 3 sets that I use for a combo of mic'ing talent and wireless hops to cameras for scratch. I recently had a TX go out on me. It was working one second and would not power on the next. This has me thinking about taking this opportunity to move to lectrosonics. Two factors leading me towards going lectro: 1) Better range, 2) less scrutiny from producers / camera ops for using G3s. While I would LOVE to pick up a SRB + (2) SM transmitters, it is not in the budget as I primarily do post work these days. What I am considering is a used UCR210D/UM200C, which is more in my budget. My question: is this a good choice vs sticking with another G3?
