    S6E09 - Sound and Vision

    There is an old joke which goes “Audio without video is radio. Video without audio is surveillance.”. While it may be true, it also underscores the key role which audio plays in our experience when we are watching a show or an event. Audio is every bit as complex as video, but for many editors – whose key focus is the picture – audio can be a bit of a chore. This is where ESION from Acclaim Audio comes into play, using AI to enhance and streamline audio work, enabling the editor to deliver the best looking story, which also sounds great. And ESION is now available as an Extension in Media Composer. Our guests for this episode:  Wayne Lappi, Acclaim Audio CEO Wayne Lappi is the CEO of Acclaim Audio, his third successful company. He began his career as a programmer before advancing into senior leadership roles across the tech industry. He co-founded Acclaim Audio with a mission to bring AI-powered audio tools to video editors—empowering them to achieve professional-quality sound without the complexity of traditional mixing. With the ESION AI product line, Acclaim Audio has eliminated the guesswork, enabling video editors to stay focused on their video while the audio takes care of itself. Troy Stone, Acclaim Audio CTO Troy Stone is the CTO of Acclaim Audio. He holds dual degrees in Music and Film Scoring and built on that foundation to become a multi-Emmy Award-winning audio mixer. Drawing on his extensive experience, he co-founded Acclaim Audio to “teach the computer” the skills of a top-tier mixer. The result is the ESION AI product suite, where professional-quality audio can be achieved with the push of a button.
