AUDIO EASE RELEASES Trackdown Scoring Stage for Altiverb.


Audio Ease Utrecht the Netherlands - Audio Ease (www.audioease.com) today released acoustics samples (impulse responses) of Trackdown Scoring Stage in Sydney Australia,for use in Altiverb, the sampled acoustics plug-in.

Trackdown Scoring Stage (www.trackdown.com.au) is one of Australia's largest, independently owned, purpose built Orchestral Film Scoring Stages conveniently located on the FOX studio lot in Sydney. Built in 2003, it features the latest in acoustic design resulting in one of the finest rooms available for orchestral scoring anywhere in the world. TSS has facilities to comfortably accommodate over 100 musicians.

"This room sounds absolutely gorgeous" Says Arjen van der Schoot from Audio Ease, halfway across the world in the Netherlands. "The samples were made using a large variety of speaker and microphone setups, including surround recordings, in order to capture the many and diverse sounds this room can produce. It will bring sampled orchestras to life, and when the tail is shortened you have a fantastic wooden drum room."

"In light of recent competition we at Audio Ease must underline our superior expertise in creating acoustic samples. Sampled acoustics processors (or convolution reverbs) have no sound of their own, It all commes down to the quality of the sample. We must sample the best rooms in the world in the best possible way. That will be our direction for some time to come."

More samples, from the Konzerthaus (Vienna), one of the top three symphonic music halls in the world, are ready to be released and will follow shortly. Samples from Sydney Opera House have been made and are nearing completion. They are up next for release. Also lined up is the Viennese Mozart hall, regarded as the worlds finest chamber music room.
