Accurate Sound Recording Demands the Right Equipment
Rick Hernandez has spent over a decade recording sound effects and ambiences for some of the world's biggest video games and films. As audio director on Respawn Entertainment's popular science-fiction, first-person shooter video game Titanfall 2, he came to rely on a selection of DPA microphones to capture accurate and realistic sounds in variable conditions.
Hernandez used DPA's d:dicate 4017B-R Shotgun Microphones with Rycote Windshields for point-source ambience recordings, d:screet 4060 Omnidirectional Microphones mostly for live weapons recordings, and the d:mension 5100 Mobile Surround Microphone for 5.1 ambience recordings.
