Dubbing
Brothers Opens New Soundstages in Burbank
Paris-based post-production company Dubbing Brothers—which has
soundstages in Germany, Belgium, Italy, Spain and the U.S.—recently
completed major soundstage upgrades in its Burbank facility. “We are
excited to raise the audio post bar in Burbank and create a dynamic
atmosphere to enhance the client experience,” says Dubbing Brothers
president Philippe Taieb.
The stages were created as part of the company’s expansion of its
digital audio facility in Burbank and will be used to record, edit and
mix audio for films and TV. The studios are fully equipped with the
latest Pro Tools software and are 5.1 surround sound capable.
"We’ve upgraded the studios, and as a result, people in Hollywood,
in Burbank and all over the Valley are realizing there’s a place they
can go that treats audio clients as first-class clients," says Geoff
Nathanson, director of marketing and client services, who joined Dubbing
Brothers from Margarita Mix Hollywood, where he was general manager of
marketing and strategy. "Everything was designed with audio and
television and film in mind." MORE

Engineer's
(Secret) Drum Toolkit
Here are some items that can prove indispensable to
getting you through the obstacle course of a drum-recording session. The
trick is to pull them out only when necessary; you don't want to give
the impression you're infringing on the drummer's territory.
Fortunately, most pro players will have all contingencies covered;
that's one of the reasons they carry a trap case. But you can never be
too prepared.
Essentials:
Drum key(s)
Cymbal felts and sleeves
Can of lightweight oil (to squelch squeaks)
Roll of fine, strong twine (for securing snares and other duties)
Assorted pieces of cloth, felt, and foam rubber (for drum dampening)
Sturdy masking tape (for attaching drum-dampening materials)
Duct tape (for just about anything else)
Scissors and single-edged razor blades
Adjustable wrenches, screwdrivers and heavy pliers
Assorted blankets, pillows and towels
Drum rug (preferably with a rubber bottom)
Handy Additions:
Snare-drum batter head (14-inch coated is standard)
Snare-drum bottom head (14-inch clear thin is standard)
A pair or two of drum sticks (5A and 5B are common sizes)
