Sumsound at Trackdown was recently booked by Pete Purcell to premix “A Heartbeat Away”, a local film. Pete’s preference when mixing is to have PT screens outside his immediate line of site so they dont pull him away from the picture and story onscreen. Prior to PEte mixing in there, Will Ward was doing sound design for the film and spent many weeks searching SFX databases. The screens were too far away for him.
SO, I invested in some new 16:9 samsungs and mounted them on Spacedec arms, as used on the Digidesign D-Controls…
Take a peek! A very flexible arrangement now, allowing for 3 primary positions depending on who is using the room for what…
The arms allow the screens to be positioned out wide, so they dont get between the mixer and the projection screen:
Or can be moved closer to the operator for editing/sound design:
Or lastly, my own preference, in the line of sight for mixing:
Great setup! Love the flexibility.
love them – saved my eyes and back!!!
