In this Pro Tools Expert Podcast Extra Interview, Mike Thornton catches up with TV sound supervisor Rob Ashard to see how he has taken to the loudness workflows two years on from their introduction in the UK. Rob worked at London Weekend Television working his way through from floor sound, OB Comms, studio and OB Grams, and then Sound Supervisor. In the "good old days" he did Sport, Drama, Sit Coms, and Light Entertainment in both studio and OB situations when they followed most shows through into the audio dub. Since 2004 Rob takes responsibility for mixing TV Shows either in studios, trucks, or derig situations, also supplying crews, and if necessary, equipment. He specialises in Light Entertainment shows with live audiences, working on many major ITV and BBC productions like Graham Norton, Ant and Dec's Takeaway, I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, The Last Leg, Ninja Warrior, Get Your Act Together, Dancing On Ice and Celebrity Juice He also has a portable audio dubbing rig as well as a transportable audio control room centred round a Yamaha desk and an Antelope interface.
