Dolby Atmos is here!
Recently my studio has been upgraded to Dolby Atmos 7.1.4. The Genelec sound system welcomed 4 new brothers and sisters.
With Dolby Atmos sound can be placed in a 3D space. Dolby Atmos can be heard in cinemas, on personal devices such as phones and tablets and on the latest smart televisions. Content providers such as Netflix and Apple TV have movies and series in their catalog with this sound format.
My goal is to promote this amazing format and bring it to your home or cinema near you. Recently the movie “Silence of the tides” has been released in Dolby Atmos and many are to come. Join this 3D immersive experience and make your movie Dolby Atmos. Contact me about the possibilities.
Niks vreemds aan
Een hilarische, sexy komedie over onverwachte ontmoetingen in een zoektocht naar meer passie. Suus (Ilse Warringa) houdt van haar ietwat doorsnee leven en van haar man Mats (Loek Peters), maar weet donders goed dat het vuur in haar huwelijk al een tijdje gedoofd is. In een dappere poging om de passie te doen herleven, meldt ze hen in een spontane opwelling aan voor een swingers-app.

“DVS – Navigation” SoundFlow package
With SoundFlow it is possible to automate your Pro Tools workflow. It can speed up repetitive tasks. One of them, which I often use, is jumping around your session. Copy/pasting clips from one location to another. For that reason I made a Navigation package that helps storing the selected track and selection. Either or both can be recalled when needed. This package is now available from the SoundFlow app store for free. Go to the SoundFlow app store and search for “dvs”.
A SoundFlow account is needed to install the package. Trial version of SoundFlow is available.
