ORIA just makes my life easier overall,” says multi award-winning audio engineer, Daniel Abrusci. Specialising in sound design, recording and mixing for TV & film, Dan has worked with many top brands including ESPN, BBC, Adidas, Samsung, BMW and Breitling.

 

 

Daniel Abrusci on ORIA: “I really enjoy the design and the software is brilliant”

 

 

Recently he has been trialling ORIA. Having worked in Surround Sound for a decade means Dan delivers mixes in both 5.1 and Stereo. “Before ORIA, I had my interface set up for surround, but monitor control wasn’t as easy and accurate as working with ORIA. It meant any change from Stereo to 5.1 wasn’t as smooth.”

Setting up was easy following the step-by-step videos on Audient’s YouTube Channel. “It was really straightforward. A nice detail was finding that the outputs are already set to the specific speakers and named on the back of the unit,” he explains. Extra helpful was finding ORIA uses SoundID Reference – software he was already using to calibrate his room. “This integration made the transition seamless and added an extra layer of precision to my setup.

 

 

“I didn’t have to make any changes to my workflow […] in fact my workflow has improved”

 

 

“After it was installed, I didn’t have to make any changes to my workflow at all. In fact, my workflow has improved,” adds Dan. “ORIA did even more than I could hope for as the features it brings are just so useful for post production.
