Huge Congrats to Ron Bartlett & the DUNE: Part Two Sound Team! A massive shoutout to Ron Bartlett and the entire sound team on winning the BAFTA Award for Best Sound for DUNE: Part Two! Crafting the sonic world of Arrakis is no small feat, and their work continues to push the boundaries of cinematic sound. We’re beyond proud to see Auto-Align Post playing a small role in such top-tier work. As Ron Bartlett puts it: “Auto-Align Post is an essential tool to have when mixing tracks with multiple mics. I use it on every film now.” Hats off to the team for this incredible achievement! #BAFTA #BestSound #SoundDesign #MixingEngineers #FilmSound #PostProduction #AutoAlignPost

Huge congratulations to Josh Giunta on his second Grammy win for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album! Josh’s work on Plot Armor by Taylor Eigsti https://orcd.co/plotarmor showcases his mastery in capturing the depth and dimension of live recordings. A true craftsman of sound, Josh embraces multi-mic setups to bring out the full character of the instruments and the space they’re played in. “Auto-Align 2 has been an essential tool for my mix flow, to maximize the punchiness of my close mics and to enhance the dimensional and phase relations with my room mics. I used Auto-Align in mixing Plot Armor and I use it for all of the mixes that have live instruments. An indispensable tool!” – Josh Giunta, 2x Grammy-Winning Producer & Engineer, Professor at Berklee NYC. We’re honored to be a small part of the process. Congrats, Josh! #JoshGiunta #PlotArmor #TaylorEigsti #AutoAlign2 #MixingEngineers #MusicProduction #ProAudio

Drum Mic Techniques with Audio University. Ever measured the distance between your snare and overheads to keep your mics in phase? Kyle Mathias from Audio University explains why this technique works—but also why achieving perfect phase across the entire kit is impossible (and that’s okay). While stereo dimension comes from the natural phase differences between mics, adding spot mics introduces another challenge: phase alignment between the overheads and individual mics. That’s where Auto-Align 2 steps in. By automatically aligning your mics, it ensures your snare stays punchy and your kit sounds cohesive—without sacrificing dimension. Watch Kyle’s breakdown and hear why phase alignment matters. #DrumRecording #MicPlacement #AudioUniversity #MixingEngineers #ProAudio #MusicProduction

GRAMMY-nominated engineer Greg Wurth (Steve Vai, Tony MacAlpine, Tracii Guns) shares why Auto-Align 2 is a game-changer in his workflow: “What I really like about Auto-Align is it allows me to maintain the natural quality of the recording. EQ often introduces phase shift and issues you don’t want to mess with. But with Auto-Align 2, it’s all there. It blows me away. You can bypass it, listen to the whole track—guitar, bass, drums—and you hear them come into focus. It’s unbelievable.” Hear how Greg brings his mixes into focus with Auto-Align 2.

7x GRAMMY-winning producer/engineer Frank Filipetti (Barbra Streisand, Korn, Foreigner) has always been a relentless experimenter, pushing boundaries in his pursuit of the best sound. “Early in the ’80s and ’90s, you would start by trying to line up the bass DI and the bass amp, because they’re always out of phase to some degree. And we had to move it by hand. But then you’d start realizing that the overheads, snare, and bass drum signal are coming out 90 degrees out of phase. It was painful.” Together with the METalliance, Frank has captured decades of professional wisdom in Recording & Mixing Drums. Packed with practical insights and techniques for capturing incredible drum sounds, it’s a must-read for anyone looking to refine their drum recordings. 🎥 Watch the full interview, and dive into Recording & Mixing Drums for insights from some of the most radical minds in the industry: https://lnkd.in/dvynYN_9 #FrankFilipetti #METalliance #MixingDrums #MixingEngineers #MixingAndMastering

Let’s talk drums. Are you all about full mic kits like the Telefunken or DPA packages, or do you prefer mixing and matching to find your unique sound? Any favorite mic setups you swear by? Maybe it’s a classic SM57 on the snare, a ribbon for the room, or something completely out of the box. We’d love to hear what’s working for you—drop your favorite setups in the comments! #DrumRecording #MicPlacement #DrumMics #MixingEngineers #MusicProduction #ProAudio

Hailed as “hauntingly beautiful” (Distorted Sound), “a journey in itself” (The Sleeping Shaman), and a showcase of “immersive textures and soaring dynamics” (Metal Storm), Embers by God Is An Astronaut captures the very essence of cinematic post-rock. In Sound On Sound magazine’s How I Got That Sound feature by Joe Matera (November 2024), Torsten Kinsella shared the meticulous process behind the layered rhythm guitar tones on “Falling Leaves.” Multi-amp setups, precision mic placement, and seamless phase alignment with Auto-Align 2 ensured every mic captured the fullest, punchiest guitar sound. The mix was further refined with Pi, delivering cohesion across amps for a sound that’s just as impactful in mono as it is in stereo. “I used Auto-Align to perfectly phase-align the mics on each amp setup, blending them into one cohesive sound. Then I used Pi to lock the phase relationships between amps, creating a fuller, more powerful tone. The difference in mono was stunning—it all just clicked.” Read the full article in Sound On Sound and experience “Falling Leaves” in all its glory: https://lnkd.in/dxJtYikU. #musicproducerslife #musicproductiontips
