iZotope Announces Iris

Posted by on Apr 20, 2012 in Industry, MicroFilmmaking, News | 0 comments

Cambridge, MA—April 17, 2012 – iZotope, Inc., a leading innovator in digital audio signal processing, has released iZotope Iris™, a new concept in sound design and sample manipulation in the form of a “visual instrument.”

Powered by iZotope’s award-winning visual feedback technology, Iris lets you unearth a world of sounds you’ve never heard before. Delve into Iris’s spectrogram to extract, layer, manipulate, and discover new sounds from within any audio file. With extended synthesis features, hundreds of presets, and 4 GB of source material, Iris is an impressive tool for sound design, musical inspiration, and sonic experimentation.

Iris Key Features

  • Discover what’s hidden:
    Bring any audio file into Iris and isolate the most interesting spectral portions with a comprehensive set of easy-to-use selection tools. Play your completely custom sound instantly from any MIDI controller.
  • Become a mad sonic scientist:
    Create new textures and dramatic soundscapes by layering multiple sounds from similar or completely diverse audio sources.
  • Stay musical:
    Rely on intelligent root note detection to help shape musical material from noise, ambient textures, and soundscapes, then use advanced controls to tweak, modulate, and add effects to taste—all powered by iZotope’s award-winning DSP.
  • Start playing immediately:
    A world of sound design is at your fingertips, with hundreds of presets from world-class sound designers and 4 GB of audio samples, including recordings of insects, animals, machines, vintage synthesizers, musical instruments and much more.

Even More Sounds

In addition, iZotope has released two complementary sound libraries designed exclusively for use with Iris: Glass and Wood. A bundled version of Iris, Glass and Wood, Iris+2, is also available at a special price.

Glass ($49 MSRP) is a shimmering collection of glass ambiences, reimagined via Iris’s spectral selection capabilities. A lyrical study in lush chords, shining leads, and soothing basses, Glass transforms sonic experiments into accessible musical inspiration. Within the 100 patches of Glass, you’ll hear exploits with bottles, mirrors, marbles, glasses, shards, and even glassblowing torches. The resulting sounds are inviting, uplifting, and unusual. This library is for players exploring original sound design in a musical and meaningful context. read more

Long time readers of MFM have known that we've been looking to move into a new CMS system. We are happy to show that we're now in the process of unveilling the new look. While not all of the elements that are going to be unveilled will be functional just yet, we are excited to announce that the new MFM will support full comments from fans and readers, as well as a forum for members, fully community support that will allow you to interact with other filmmakers (much like a facebook for low-budget filmmakers), the ability to subscribe to feeds, articles and reviews every few days (rather than just the first of the month), and very intuitive search options that will make finding your favorite articles much easier!
