Vidiots recently added a new Digidesign Pro Tools HD suite,
where mixer Brian McGee works on the show. McGee's first episode was the
series' 100th. The program is edited on Avid Media Composer
Adrenaline HD systems at Vidiots and then McGee imports the Avid OMF files into
the Pro Tools|HD 3 system along with all the audio tracks. He separates the
music, dialogue and sound effects tracks, cleans up the dialogue, rides the
music to picture, and adds sound effects as needed from Vidiots' extensive
stock library.
McGee's room is 5.1 capable and features a 45-inch Sharp LCD flatscreen HD
monitor, a Digidesign Control 24 mixing surface, Genelec 5.1 monitoring and
Yamaha NS10 speakers. Also on hand are a Tubetech tube compressor, Marshall
JMP1 guitar pre amp, a portable Roland JV2080 keyboard module and Waves
plug-ins.
A voiceover/ISO booth can accommodate three and is outfitted with a Neumann
TLM103 mic.
