Studio Buffalo Wounded, Aided by Avid, Offers Authentic Acoustic Recordings
In the heart of Bristol, UK, Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios has undergone a significant transformation. This renowned audio postproduction facility, specialising in natural history documentaries, now boasts three state-of-the-art dubbing theaters equipped with Dolby Atmos technology.
The integration of the versatile S6 control surface has been instrumental in this upgrade. This surface, meticulously installed by Wounded Buffalo's in-house technical team, has made everything in a session easily accessible.
Dubbing Theatre A stands out with its Avid Pro Tools HDX system, S6 M40 console, and wall-to-wall speakers. Dubbing Theatre B and C each feature an Avid S6 control surface and Pro Tools, with Theatre C also sporting two Avid S1 modules and an Avid Dock.
The S6 control surface has proven crucial for Wounded Buffalo's work on complex projects, particularly those that require the sound to be entirely reconstructed. This is common in their work, as audio is rarely a priority or even available in the field.
Working on natural history documentaries presents unique challenges, such as those posed by long lenses and underwater recordings. Wounded Buffalo advises recording teams on how to capture underwater audio effectively, a task that requires special attention due to its unique challenges.
The studio's commitment to authenticity is evident in each layer of sound, which is meticulously researched. They regularly consult with scientists and episode producers to ensure the accuracy of the sound, striving to create a soundscape that is both believable and captivating.
Wounded Buffalo Sound Studios' dedication to quality has not gone unnoticed. They have worked on numerous award-winning TV productions, including "Planet Earth III," "Earthsounds," "Our Great National Parks," and "David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet."
