The Canadian educator VFS has enhanced their Sound Design for Visual Media program for surround by ordering 60 licenses of Paul Neyrinck’s Mix 51 surround for LE plug-in. This is form Neyrinck’s press release…
Vancouver Film School (VFS), Canada’s premier post-secondary entertainment arts institution, and one of the most distinguished in the world, has integrated Neyrinck Mix 51 software into their Sound Design for Visual Media program . Each student is supplied with a Pro Tools LE notebook system with the Mix 51 plug-in installed. This allows every student to edit and mix surround audio with their portable Pro Tools LE system prior to coming in to the school’s main Pro Tools HD studio.
VFS Sound Design for Visual Media Senior Instructor Shane Rees says, “Mix 51 lets our students work with surround audio outside of class and without needing to reserve time in our main studio. Mix 51 provides a stereo LtRt down mix, so they can monitor with a pair of headphones or at their home with a Pro Logic decoding system. It is tremendously beneficial for them to work in surround anywhere. This substantially improves the students “knowledge and skill in surround audio.”
Paul Neyrinck, founder and president of Neyrinck adds, “Surround audio post-production is exploding worldwide as HD broadcast takes hold. It is very important to train sound designers about surround. VFS is a premier education facility that focuses on preparing their students for real-world careers in audio production. And I am glad they are really working on making their students competitive professionals. We could not be happier that they have chosen Mix 51 which is a great solution for audio schools.”
Neyrinck is a software company founded by Paul Neyrinck who has worked on the design of many audio products including TL Space Convolution Reverb, Digidesign D-Show EQ, Focusrite D2 EQ, Digidesign Mbox OS X Software and Orban Digital Optimod 8200.

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
