HHB Supplies Avid S6 For London's Encore

HHB's audio post division Scrub has supplied two 16-fader S6 M10 control surfaces and Pro Tools HD upgrades for Encore Post Production's London facilities.

Encore is a leading supplier of Post Production Services covering all areas and genres of picture and sound post-production. All five of the company's sound mixing studios have been updated by Scrub to HDX2 and the latest Pro Tools 11 software, with the new S6 control surface being installed in Studios 2 and 3.

Encore is currently preparing to take on post-production sound duties for Tiger Aspect and Fifty Fathoms' TV series 'Fortitude' for Sky Atlantic.

Encore Sound Editorial Supervisor Chris Roberts explains: "Fortitude is an exciting and ambitious show for Encore Sound to be involved with. It was immediately apparent from my first reading of the scripts that the series represented some really bold storytelling and offered some great creative opportunities, so it was imperative to have the right team and the right tools."

Encore brought together a team of four sound editors, a sound designer, two music editors and a Foley department all delivering tracks into the mix from different locations.

"Having the new Pro Tools systems in the Encore mix rooms gave me the confidence to know that whatever we delivered would run, no matter how complex, and that re-recording mixer Howard Bargroff would have the ability to shape the tracks into a great soundtrack without having to make any technical compromises in the process," Chris says.

Encore Director of Operations Johnny Whitehead comments: "Tiger Aspect set extremely high production standards for this project and Howard, Chris and the team did a fantastic job in delivering a world-class audio mix that perfectly compliments the beautiful, atmospheric and unsettling frozen landscape that Colourist Jet Omoshebi helped to create. The Avid S6 is an incredibly ergonomic console that enables our mixers to work in a highly efficient and intelligent fashion and produce outstanding mixes."
