This Is Sound Design Chooses Avid's S6 As Their New Control Surface
This is Sound Design have placed an order for a new
. This is Sound Design have been waiting for a control surface that offers the customization, programmable software integration and forward-thinking modular design and feel the Avid S6 is that console.
According to Nathan Ruyle, the choice of the
revolved around his style of working. “Having developed a design-centered approach to feature film sound post, we needed a console that adapts to our custom workflows and the specific needs of each project, allowing a fluid relationship between our design concepts through the final mix. In the past, we have often had to make the choice between limiting projects to working within our mix templates or holding off the mix phase as long as possible, spending hours reorganizing sessions to be mixable on the Icon control surface. We are excited that the S6 can evolve creatively with us and bring the design process into the mix stage. We are looking forward to finally putting down the mouse and getting into the mix!”
Nathan has been working with the Avid D-Control and D-Command over the last 5 years or so and the transition to the new surface was, in many ways, logical but more importantly, in Nathan’s words “the S6 feels like the first console made for me and the way that I want to work”.
