Aural Asia
Aural Asia is the premier producer of Asian sound effects for professional sound designers. Whether it’s a full-throttle yum sing toast at Chinese weddings in Singapore, bell dings of Hong Kong’s iconic street trams or the 300km/h wind whoosh of the Japanese Shinkansen bullet trains, Asia has a deep and rich palette of sounds that offers endless creative possibilities.
Since 1989, Hongkong-born Kenn Delbridge has run audio post departments in Europe and Asia servicing international broadcasters including MTV Networks, BBC, Discovery Channel, ESPN, National Geographic and others. Now based in Singapore, he spends an inordinate amount of time plotting how to capture every sonic signature found in Asia for Aural Asia.
Capturing these sounds means a kit list featuring recorders from Sound Devices and Sony, with microphones from Neumann and Sanken, all blimped out in Rycote mounts. Sometimes, it involves tapping into a network of location recordists working on an Asian documentary who stay an extra week after filming is done to gather sounds, but most of the time it involves trekking to exotic locales and being very patient. That said, sitting on a beach in Bali to record the gentle lapping of the Pacific ocean at night with cicadas native only to Asia can’t really be called work, can it?

Big Room Sound
Hey, my name is J.R. Fountain and I head up Big Room Sound. I'm a sound designer working mostly in the Toronto film/tv industry and one of my biggest sources of pride is my personal sound effects library. With every project that comes my way I'm always looking to record something new, however often times schedules leave little room for this kind of creative work. I end up scouring various libraries to get what I need and make due. So in order to have the sounds I want I've developed what I call "preventative sound design". By that I mean I always take stock of the types of projects I'm working on and the different kinds of sound effects I use. Then during my downtime I make it a point to keep my eye out for opportunities to record those sounds. This way the next time a project comes up, I know I've got good material for it. Here's an example. This year I worked on a couple of "coming of age" type films where I was in need of various high school crowd sounds, classroom stuff, hallway ambiences, and the inevitable teen parties. So during some time off I realized that it was the end of the school year. Kids don't do much at the end of the year and teachers are just looking to fill time. So I called up my old music teacher and within a couple days I was standing in front of a classroom full of music students with my mics ready to record. It ended up being a great session and I recorded probably close to an hour's worth of material.
Of course it doesn't always work out this well but I find you have to be very proactive in order to build up a quality library. The sounds you collect have to be usable and to that end, working as a sound designer is certainly my greatest asset because I use just about everything I record. Working on films is also my biggest inspiration and motivation to get out and record sound effects.

Sampleconstruct
Simon Stockhausen started getting involved with electronic music and sounds when his father, also a composer, gave him a Minimoog for his 9th Birthday as a present. From that moment on creating sounds became an obsession which lasts until this day. The distinction between "noise" and "music" often disolves in Simon's Sound design work and music, every sound on earth has a pitch, a rhythm and a timbre, just like conventional music has.
On the other hand Simon loves the groove. Having grown up with classical and contemporary music education on the one hand and Jazz, Funk, Fusion and Rock music on the other hand, all of these influences are still present today.
Simon's portfolio on 1soundfx comprises a wide range of sounds and loops from unusual, sometimes horrifying Soundscapes and Drones to groovy Drum- and Musicloops to ethereal tonal textures to field recordings recorded in soccer stadiums, nature or the streets of asian Metropoles.
Today he mainly works as a composer and Sounddesigner in the field of film and theatre music after having toured the world as a musician for over 20 years playing with a great variety of ensembles, orchestras and Jazz cats.

Studio 1
Studio_1 is an Audio Production company that creates Music and Sound Effects for the Games Industry, TV and Media companies. The company is headed up by composer and sound designer Stuart Duffield, who has a history of recording, processing and editing audio of all types. This includes field and Foley recording, and Stuart has recorded everything from ambiences to sports sounds and footsteps to vehicle engines. Based in the UK, Stuart has been creating audio professionally for 16 years, and has produced a wide range of audio for various worldwide clients and numerous high profile projects.
Stuart has a wide experience of synthesis, using complex sound manipulation to create original sounds. This is not only great fun, but usually produces unique and interesting results. When creating sounds, Stuart uses whatever processing is appropriate. This could be a simple addition of reverb, or could be multiple techniques combined, e.g. extreme pitch-shifting, heavy EQ, compression, delay, or other effects. Then the sound would perhaps be layered in a multi-track with other sounds that have complementary frequencies (e.g. adding a high frequency element to a bass-heavy sound).
Favourite sounds for Stuart to create and edit would be making sets of sounds. For example, this might be a set of impact sounds - low, medium and hard – all with multiple versions for variety. Or it could be a looping sound with separate start, loop and end sections. Or, it might be a set of menu navigation sounds – derived from the same source material and designed to work together with a similar feel.
Stuart records using various microphones (Behringer, SE Electronics, Sennheiser) and handheld devices (Sony, Zoom). Recently there is nothing he likes more than recording an everyday sound using the Zoom, and then processing part of the recorded audio into something completely different. This typically involves trying out different processing along the way, until arriving at a quirky and original sound effect. In the future, Stuart would like to record more ambiences – as he finds it very satisfying being able to capture a unique, rich and varied soundscape at high quality with a portable recording unit.
