Featured Guest: Bradford Swanson, Product Manager, iZotope
Topic: IZotope tools for audio analysis, repair, and mastering

IZotope’s innovative products inspire and enable people to be creative. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, iZotope has spent over a decade developing award-winning products and audio technologies for professionals and hobbyists alike. Bradford will talk about their history, contemporary goals, and product focus. He will demonstrate iZotope’s RX 5 Audio Editor, an award-winning audio repair and noise reduction software. The software is designed to fix problems in production audio files like plosives, microphone bumps, and inconsistent levels. He will use and fix recordings some supplied by BAS members, by removing the extraneous noises encountered during their ‘live’ recording sessions.

He will also demonstrate additional software products: Insight, and Ozone 7. Insight contains an extensive set of audio analysis and metering tools that are perfect for troubleshooting mix problems. Ozone 7 is a mastering tool designed to produce a professional and full polished sound by adding ‘glue’ to a mix by controlling dynamic range, and adding a deep, rich character to the sound.
