Avid customers were also recognized for their outstanding achievements in sound mixing at the 51st Annual CAS Awards. Presented by the Cinema Audio Society on February 14, 2015, in Los Angeles, the awards recognized many of the film and television industries’ most gifted sound mixers who use Avid Everywhere, including the Avid MediaCentral and Avid Artist Suite audio solutions.

Sound mixer Jeff Fuller, who won the television non-fiction, variety or music series or specials category for Foo Fighters Sonic Highways: Los Angeles, used Avid Pro Tools to mix the documentary series. “It’s truly an honor to be nominated and win a CAS Award,” Fuler says. “Working with Avid Pro Tools on Sonic Highways was a no brainer. It integrated seamlessly with Media Composer and helped us deal with increasingly tight timelines.”

Avid customers also won CAS Awards for their work on Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) and Modern Family: Australia.

“We’re very proud that the industry’s most talented sound mixers choose to embrace Avid Everywhere and our proven and trusted audio solutions,” says Avid Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Louis Hernandez, Jr. “As a company that’s passionate about world-class content creation and technical innovation, we congratulate our customers on their outstanding achievements.”
