Multi Track Mix in Adobe Audition 3.0

Panning

Let’s be technical for a bit – and I’m going to use tech terms and jargon in this posting so be prepared if you’re new to the production game.  This post is for all you creative services directors, production directors – whatever it is you call yourselves in radio these days.  Me?  I prefer prod guy (or girl) or if I’m feeling particularly cocky: prod guru.  Yesterday I was working on a piece with a very high production value.  Lots of compression, reverb, EQ, various whooshes, stutters and gizmos.  You get the idea.  I decided to spice it up a bit more with some creative panning and that’s when I broke one of Hart’s rules: (more…)

My friend and excellent VO pro Dave Courvoisier has discovered a very promising new website/application called chirbit.  It holds a lot of promise for those of us that work in the audio industry, whether voiceover or radio.  Dave had an excellent back and forth with the chirbit developer and posted about it on his blog Voice Acting in Vegas:

The site struck me as a delightful use of the potential of audio and social networking.  I eventually asked the originator of the site – Ivan Reyes – if he’d mind responding to a few pointed questions about Chirbit, specifically the possibilities for voice-actors.

It looks to me like the future holds a lot of promise for this way cool application – Chirbit.  Check it out by clicking on the quote.

Brian Hart is the owner of Hart Voice Overs.  Brian has been recording voiceovers for broadcast and multimedia applications for over 17 years.  In addition Brian offers post production and copywriting services.

Brian has worked at a variety of radio stations since 1992.  Brian started out as a part time disc jockey on a radio station in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and quickly moved up to full time work as employers recognized his work ethic and natural talent.  Over the course of his broadcasting career Brian has worked as program director, operations manager, and production director at a variety of radio stations and broadcast groups from Alabama to North Carolina.

In 2004 Brian started Brian Hart Productions with an emphasis on producing radio station imaging for small to medium sized markets.  As Brian Hart Productions grew, Brian realized there was a growing need for voice over services in a wide range of areas outside of the broadcast industry.  Brian has built Hart Voice Overs with that in mind, serving a wider base of clients and delivering a broader range of voiceover demands.

Now Brian works full time as a Voice Over actor and audio producer from his home in beautiful Foley, Alabama on the Gulf Coast.  When asked why he chose to live in Foley Brian replied, “Because I am lucky enough that I can.  I’m 15 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico and within shouting distance of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  Thanks to the internet I can work for clients worldwide while still enjoying southern hospitality and small town life.”

Brian Hart is also an amateur photographer and you’ll find many of his photos sprinkled throughout Hart Voice Overs.  Brian,  his wife Amy and their son J.D. like to go sailing and beach bumming in their spare time.
