Veteran re-recording mixer and sound designer Tom Ozanich has incorporated Focusrite RedNet signal distribution and an Avid S6 control surface into his 9.1.6 Dolby Atmos mixing setup.
Ozanich has long been hands-on with the technology in his home facility, buying equipment from Russ Belttary, president of RSPE Audio Solutions in Toluca Lake, California, and integrating it himself.
Based out of Warner Bros. since 2008 after previously working at Soundelux and Danetracks, Ozanich has built an impressive credit list that includes such major motion pictures as Joker (2019) and A Star Is Born (2018), both of which earned him Oscar nominations, as well as Sully (2016), Sicario (2015), American Sniper (2014) along with numerous others.
He has long bounced back and forth between stages in Hollywood and his home rig when working on projects, he says, but when the coronavirus pandemic drove everyone to work at home, he upgraded his personal setup.
