Film scoring engineer Tommy Vicari Soundtracks with Lexicon 960L Digital Effects
Acclaimed film scoring engineer Tommy Vicari has filled a critical role in his recordings and mixes of major motion picture soundtracks with the Lexicon 960L Multi-channel Digital Effects System. In recent months, Vicari has used the 960L for a range of successful projects, including the forthcoming Jarhead, based on Anthony Swofford's best-selling 2003 book, and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Vicari, whose filmography includes Cinderella Man, Ladder 49, Angels In America and Finding Nemo, as well as credits mixing the Academy Awards broadcasts for the past several years, has also turned to the Lexicon 960L for special event audio, such as the rolling opening last July and August of the new Disneyland theme park in Hong Kong.
Jarhead, for which Vicari recorded at Sigmet Sound in Los Angeles and mixed last month at Sony Music Studios in New York City, is a perfect example of how the Lexicon 960L Multi-channel Digital Effects System helps enhance the sound of a major film’s score. He describes the character of the score, composed by Thomas Newman for the Sam Mendes-directed film, as “atmospheric, ambient and abstract, with a lot of environmental types of cues. There are rhythmic cues, elements that suspend the viewer in the film. We used a lot of types of instruments, so it’s a very complex-sounding score. There are orchestral sounds, but after they were recorded, they were sampled and played back in a variety of different ways. The sounds are used to establish themes and moods within the film.
“The 960L has diverse numbers and types of reverb programs that really help bring out the uniqueness of a score like this,” Vicari continues. “For highly percussive sounds, I can choose from different types of rooms and vary their size and other parameters until I have exactly the effect I’m looking for. On string pads, I can use a variety of chambers and halls to enhance and elaborate on the effect we’re going for. It really helps add depth and dimension to the mix.” Vicari further notes that the 960L has subtleties that make it critical in the underscoring role. “The music can often tend to disappear as you pull it back to let the dialog and effects in a scene stand out,” he explains. “The 960L has the ability to play to the nuances in a piece of music and give it a presence that remains clear even when it’s mixed into the background. It’s a great processor and I use it on much of the work I do.”
