ABOUT LORIN

I didn’t choose audio as a vocation. It chose me. I’ve been fascinated by sound ever since I was a kid. I do for a living what I would do for fun, even if it wasn’t my job.

​

That means I’m self-motivated to stay up-to-date on current technologies, workflows, and techniques. I read thousands of pages of technical documentation, attend seminars, and compare notes with others on online forums. I’m constantly trying new approaches and experimenting with new ideas.

​

After years of doing this, I’ve accumulated a sizeable arsenal of tricks and secret recipes, so when I get to work on your project, I hit it already running. I combine that knowledge with intrinsic organizational and communication skills that I use to listen carefully to instructions, anticipate what others will want, prioritize tasks, manage time effectively, and make sure no detail is overlooked.

​

What matters most to you is that my work sounds good. Really good. Since the Number One enemy of any audio project is the dreaded “Whaddesay?” I focus on dialog intelligibility, making sure every word can be easily and clearly understood. I also bring a unique approach to surround sound that gives the listener a greater sense of “being there.”

​

I’m constantly listening to the world around me, and making notes about how we perceive various sounds. I then apply that when creating sound effects, to more closely reinforce the mood of the setting.

​

I stay cool when the pressure is on, because getting tense interferes with getting things done.

​

I like playing with others, and am acutely aware that every project is a team effort. That said, I have no problem working on my part by myself. If I run into trouble, I’ll ask for guidance.

​

I do my work in a way that accommodates the needs of others.

​

I have excellent deductive reasoning skills, which makes troubleshooting faster and more accurate.
