I'm a Field Recordist and Sound Designer living in Northern CA. I'm currently working as a Sound Designer, Sound Effects Editor, Foley Recordist & Editor, Re-Recording Mixer, etc. on several projects. I try to post recordings on Soundcloud whenever I get the chance. For more information about me, and the projects that I'm working on, please visit my website... http://Eric-Mooney.com.

GEAR
For field recording I use a pair of Sennheiser MKH 20s that I have mounted inside of a "modified" SASS housing, a pair of Sennheiser MKH 8040s inside the ORTF Rycote blimp, or a mid-side setup with an MHK 8040 and an MKH 30 inside of a Stereo Cyclone. More recently I've also been using an AKG C 411 contact mic, a pair of Barcus Berry 4000 contact mics, and an Aquarian Audio H2a hydrophone, that can also be used as a contact mic. I run all of these into either a Sound Devices 744T or a Sound Devices MixPre-6 recorder.

I use a Sony D100 when I need a smaller and more portable setup. I have the Rycote pistol grip, which helps prevent any handling noise, and the Rycote Windjammer that helps reduce wind noise when I'm recording outdoors.

In the studio I'm running both Pro Tools 10.3.9 and 12.4.0 concurrently to avoid any compatibility issues. When I’m designing sound or mixing I frequently use the Soundtoys bundle, GRM Tools, iZotope's Neutron Advanced, Kilohearts Multipass, Waves Gold and Renaissance Maxx bundles, NI Komplete, and a wide variety of other various plugins. I use iZotope RX Advanced on recordings that need to be cleaned up, although I never de-noise nature recordings. Nature, and outdoor recording in general, is all about finding the right location anyway. 

I'm using (5) Genelec 8030s and a Tannoy Sub in the studio, and occasionally I either use a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pros or Sennheiser HD 600s for additional reference, or if I need to do some work away from the studio.

The recordings are best listened to on headphones.

School of Video Game Audio: http://SoVGA.com (six sign-ups a year!)
Online #gameaudio courses to learn Wwise, Unreal, FMOD Studio, Unity and Pure Data are the five courses currently offered at the School of Video Game Audio. Hundreds of students from over 65 countries have joined the school since 2012. To see what students have learned at the school check out our YouTube and Vimeo channels full of student demo reels with 250,000+ views & join 22,000 of our community online.

Students learn the process of creating and implementing audio for a video game and illustrative examples of gameplay are edited together to create a short demo reel. The quality of the sound design, music, speech, process, implementation and resulting demo reel will be evaluated by the school's principal instructor, Leonard Paul (MSc Game Audio) who has over 30 years of experience in the industry. All of our courses run on Windows and Mac.

Phonography is an artistic and traveling project dedicated to sound recording that brought us from Alaska to Ushuaia.

Throughout this trip, we recorded sounds and we will publish them on this site as and when we derush them.

Other destinations to come.

Field recordist, sound effects creator, founder at Sound Ex Machina - an SFX design studio producing context-based sound effects for motion picture, games, apps, audio drama and theater plays.

I've worked with clients and studios to craft audio storytelling experiences across a range of audiovisual projects such as short films, animation, mobile apps, sound logos and art exhibitions.

When I am not creating audio for media I produce ambient electronic music under the names @mahindrawaves and @innersonar.
