Hooz Audio Hooz Audio is a recording studio and location sound recording company located in Winston-Salem, Nort

Hooz Audio is the company of Tom Hauser, a native of Winston Salem. Tom has been doing sound for 10 years, and knows how to make your project sound great! Tom's new studio on Ivy Ave is a surround sound mixing room and ADR facility for film and video, equipped with state of the art equipment by Apogee, Neumann, Millennia, and Sound Devices. Tom Hauser started out doing sound engineering as a senio

r in high school, recording his high school band concerts on a Yamaha AW4816 bought without his parents permission off Ebay. Realizing how much fun music recording was, Tom went to Ithaca College and earned a Bachelor's of Music in Sound Recording Technology, graduating in 2008. Tom recorded over 150 concerts in his four years at Ithaca in a state of the art recording facility using recording gear by SSL, Benchmark, Universal Audio, Eventide, Neumann, Sennheiser, Genelec, and Pro Tools. Tom studied sound engineering with Alex Perialas and Brian Dozoretz, gentlemen with Platinum and Grammy credits to their names. Tom interned in Nashville Tennessee at Georgetown Masters on Music Row, and produced recordings of blue grass, jazz, funk, and rock his senior year. Coming back to North Carolina after graduating, Tom entered the world of film sound, making a name for himself in the independent film scene in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Mixing and editing in post, Tom came to realize that the music for film wasn't nearly as difficult to write as many of the classical works he played and studied. Tom found former LA music editor Mike Andreas (living in Cary, NC) on craigslist.org, and started studying film scoring in his spare time. By the fall of 2011, Tom was a graduate student at UNC School of the Arts, earning his MFA in Film Music Composition. Guest artist visits from the likes of Tim Starnes, Heitor Pereira, and Kris Carter, plus work with UNCSA Chancellor John Mauceri, former Hollybowl Conductor, made for a rich experience in the only film scoring program in the USA integrated into a film school. Tom also studied with Jay Gallagher (sound mixer on the Ocean's 11 movies) and Wade Wilson (sound editor on Shrek, Madagascar, and many others) to keep his sound engineering chops up to s***f. When Tom isn't clicking in Pro Tools or composing on the piano, he enjoys yoga, singing in his church, camping, outdoor recreation, and spending time with his wonderful girlfriend Amelia. Tom loves talking about music, sound, and life to anyone who loves intelligent conversation.

The deer really like that I cleaned up the leaves in the backyard! 4 total, two clearly momma and fawn. So precious! This is the first time I've seen multiple generations group up and feed in my yard so I guess they have done ok dodging cars.

Bathtubs for the win. We went to a a grill near the house last week, and my nice new Patagonia rain coat still reeked this morning of smoked oil from all the fried food. I typically just hand wash in the washing machine and run a load afterward, but in this case All Free and Clear wasn't enough to cut the grease. After a soak in the bathtub with Dawn dish soap and some gentle, thorough rinsing with the shower head, the coat smells normal 🙂👏👍💪

Sennheiser G3 wireless are awful, at least the ones I've been given for a corporate broadcast today. Fortunately I found out how to turn down the squelch level, and that helped. They still sound like garbage compared to a Lectrosonics and DPA 4060. $800 vs $2000. You get what you pay for.
