In November RAP again teamed up with Girl-O-Rama Telepictures for another project. This time out we took care of audio mix for the “The Increasingly Necessary Todd Margaret Recap Special”  airing on IFC in January.  With season two starting at the top of 2012 on IFC what better way to get us all up to speed than a recap special?  Like watching season one in fast forward but way more entertaining.  Hosted by comic creator and star of Todd Margaret, David Cross.  Dropping Todd knowledge like an MF.

We mixed the show in Logic Pro 9.  Utilizing plug ins from Waves, Stillwell Audio and Audio Damage.  Starting with OMF files exported from Final Cut Pro 7,  we imported the files without a hitch.  Getting the mix together is great using the toolset in Logic Pro.  Automation is solid and easy to edit on the fly with fader moves or with the mouse.  We tweaked Eq and compression settings for each interview, then feeding into the stereo buss with Logic multipressor for the final polish.  Using a Mackie control surface helps speed up workflow with the added bonus of giving the wrist a break.  Delivery included bleeped and not bleeped versions of the show.

Be sure to catch the recap special as well as season two of Todd Margaret starting to air on IFC in January.
