As a recording engineer at Nickelodeon, I am responsible for the recording of the voices for every animated show currently in production. This includes but is not limited to podcasts, music recordings, and of course the shows themselves.
Using Source Connect pro, I can record up to 14 people remotely at the same time while recording them all separately on their own track of audio. I have also done hybrid recordings. This means that some of the talent is joining the recording session remotely over Source Connect and zoom while some are simultaneously in the studio with me.
I work closely with the talent to help them set up an appropriate recording system in their home if we are recording them remotely. This requires me to troubleshoot recording systems with many different recording interfaces, microphones, rooms, recording software, and operating systems. I often use Teamviewer or Zoom Screen share to help talent with their systems if needed.
Working with such amazing talent and directors has been amazing. Working with many of them so often has really allowed us to not only have a great working relationship, but also a friendship. This creates a fun, yet extremely efficient working environment. I have learned exactly what the director wants and am able to help them get the performance that they need out of the talent.
