For “Destruction” Libby and I rented a so-called rampage room in Bangkok and legally destroyed a television, beer bottles, printer, scanner, and other small items to create this unique sound library. Having sound effects with impacts smashes, bumps, shattering glasses, and multiple object collisions is a great resource to start your sound design adventure, but…

Let’s do something new and have fun. Join us on a street photography POV tour of Denver and watch Libby how she takes some really cool photos with her new Fuji X100v. She is also using the Roland binaural in-ear microphones for an immersive experience and wears the GoPro Hero 8 around her chest. I…

If you are looking for an affordable way to protect your binaural in-ear microphones from wind, I hope you find this video helpful.

Orca vs Ktek If you are looking for an audio bag for your Sound Devices Mix Pre 6ii, I hope this video will help you decide. In this video, I am describing two sound bags. The Orca OR-270 Sound Bag and the K-Tek Stingray MixPro Audio Bag, which can be used for the Sound Devices…

I just received the Schoeps CCM 4 and CCM 8 for the Rycote DMS Cyclone. Stay tuned for a long-format video after I receive all the gear for it!

In this video, I show you my editing workflow when it comes to ambisonic sounds. I’m using two different DAW’s. Adobe Audition and Reaper.

In this quick short tutorial, I want to show you how you can set up your Zoom F6 for Ambisonic Sound very quickly. Zoom has already included this function in the recorder of the F series and can record up to 96 kHz 32 bit.

Using the Sound Device MixPre 6ii for the first time!In this video, we take you on a field recording adventure around Denver and using different microphones and recording techniques. Have your headphones ready and if you are considering getting a new field recorder, we hope this video may help you in making a decision.

After my first recording sessions with the #SoundDevices MixPre 6ii, I was surprised to see that my stereo files are a four-channel poly wav recording and my mono recordings are a 3 channel poly wav. If you find yourself in the same situation and you want to record just the isolated tracks, I hope this…

Ah, solid state drives! Where have you been all my life?Well, let me tell you that HDD’s are history for me now. If you want to know more, this video is for you.

Sometimes you can find the best sounds in the strangest places! I was curious to see what it would sound like when I put a hydrophone into this little metal pipe that was filled with seawater. The original sound itself is super cool for creating scary horror sound effects. Back home, I used a simple…

In this one-minute #shorts, I list my most expensive field recording kit that I use for ambiance recording. Everything together not only works perfectly and sounds amazing, but is also lightweight and easy to travel around the world with it.

Power For The Zoom F6 If you’re looking for rechargeable alternatives for your Zoom F6 or any other field recorder, here’s a quick #shorts about the batteries I use and will use in the future.

Hydrophone Comparison A hydrophone is a treat for all ambitious sound designers! Both hydrophones have excellent clarity and since we have a ice machine in our apartment, I thought to myself, why not record a quick sound test comparison using ice cubes and hot water? Don’t forget your headphones and let me know which one…
