SFX Training

Having been appointed by Stage Research as a UK Dealer for SFX Software Orbital are proud to now offer comprehensive training in this product.

SFX is rapidly becoming the de-facto standard for international musicals and West End plays alike and is finding great favor at repertory and installation sites. Stage Research's SFX is a specifically designed software program that provides power and flexibility much more than traditional playback equipment. Essentially, it makes the job of a sound designer much simpler and easier. Based around the Cue List and the GO button, SFX works intuitively, the way sound designers and operators expect to work. SFX gives provides features that CD players, mini discs, and others can't provide. It allows the user to create a rich, artistic landscape of sound, making shows more interactive, more realistic and sound design more cohesive.

Training can take place either at our London facility or at your venue, on a 1:1 or group basis. Headed by Richard Carter, Orbital's SFX Product Specialist, training can encompass the entire process on a number of levels ranging from "Operator Only" instruction to full "Technical Support and Back Up" programs.

Coupled to specific SFX training Orbital can also teach the fundamentals of good sound FX creation utilizing Pro Tools and Cool Edit Pro software, Yamaha digital production sound desks and the intricacies of WAV File manipulation. These sessions normally take place in the company's integrated sound studio.
