Instruō - Sound Design with Seashell (with Jason H. J. Lim)

video upload by Instruō

"We launched the Instruō Seashell this year at Superbooth.

This video is a behind the scenes look at a sound design session during which I scored one of the pre-release teaser trailers.

The video footage was shot and edited by Mathew. I used the Seashell as the exclusive sound source and scored the trailer.

No post processing or effects were used other than compression/dynamics.

This was my first experience using the Seashell to this extent within a production context. I was effectively late stage beta testing a prerelease build of both the firmware and plugin. I couldn't be happier with the features the Seashell's integration allows. This is a workflow I've wanted for a long time with this level of flexibility. The portability and form factor we've also achieved with Seashell is something I'm incredibly proud of.

My co-developers at Instruō are a true powerhouse of creativity.
I hope you enjoy the Seashell as much as I have been :)
