Vous êtes étudiant en ingénierie sonore et/ou vous avez une expérience en studios de postproductions
Vous connaissez les techniques de Upmixing en surround et de remastering 5.1 ;
Vous avez travaillé dans des projets de spatialisation ;
Rigoureux, autonome, efficace, les challenges ne vous font pas peur ;
Vous savez travailler sous pression avec des délais courts ;
Vous connaissez Pro Tools et les plugin de spatialisation et de restauration du son ;
Vous souhaitez avoir une expérience dans une société à taille humaine.
La technologie et l’innovation vous intéressent ;
Vous possédez des notions de compositions ;
Enfin vous serez amené à travailler quotidiennement avec les USA. Vous connaissez donc la
langue anglaise.

Audionamix Research is currently hiring research engineers to reinforce its team. Applicants will be in charge of the development and the improvement of new algorithms and prototypes in audio source separation, in a team of high-level specialists in audio digital signal processing. Part of the work will be performed within collaborative research projects with French and European partners. Optimization of the production processes will also be part of the job.
We look for highly-motivated and result-oriented candidates, mixing strong scientific and development skills and the love of the beautiful sound.
The candidates must have a strong background in several of the following topics:
- applied mathematics (non-negative matrix factorization, numerical optimization, non-linear approximations, statistics, …)
- statistical signal processing (bayesian estimation, EM algorithms, Wiener filtering, …)
- audio signal processing (parametric analysis, analysis-by-synthesis, OLA, …)
- music information retrieval
- acoustics
- sparse approximations (Matching Pursuit, …)
- blind/informed source separation
- GUI development
- audio plug-in development (VST, Audio Units, RTAS)
- object programming
- sound engineering (mastering or mix)
- research dissemination and valorization (publications, patents)
- benchmarking, evaluation of algorithm performances
- sense of humor
Operational skills:
- Matlab (object), C, C++
- Fluent English
- Good communication skills
Profile:
- Master Of Science / Engineering (école d’ingénieur), preferably with advanced courses in audio processing.
- Significant experience (at least 2 years) in the industry and/or in digital audio processing.
- Experience in sound engineering would be appreciated.

Tell us what you think about our technology, and what you do at Audio Mechanics?
First of all, we are specialized in restoration. We mostly work with studios cleaning up old films, as well as a lot of 5.1 upmixing, which is my initial interest in your technology. One of my clients came to me with a Louis Armstrong song and asked me to isolate the voice, I said “it will take forever, let me get back to you on that”. So I contacted Audionamix and I am really excited about the possibilities with the technology for voice isolation and remixing and I hope we can get this to work.
How did you feel when you made the first test?
Initial tests were good and we had a few different composers trying different tests and remixes.
These were just tests but they proved the point that you can isolate the voice, mask the residual noise and get a mix. The song itself had some recording limitations. I think that’s mostly where my objections were, not to the technology but more to the limitations of the recording itself. Hopefully we can get a better source and work out all of the legal aspects of it, I know that’s a big hurdle but if we can work all that out we can do some pretty cool things.
What about the restoration work you are doing now? How can you see our technology being useful in that field?
There are several hurdles to overcome in that regard: the cost and above all the time factor. For restoration projects, we usually get the time we need without a hard deadline. Upmixes are always constrained by a release date and clients come to us when we’ve got less than a month to do it, sometimes even just two weeks. There are times when we are scrambling and we have to do restoration plus an upmix so I have to pull my whole team off of whatever they are doing and we all work on one show.
Who are your clients?
20th Century Fox, Sony Pictures, UCLA Film & Television Archive, Academy Film Archive (the ones who do the Oscars), also Paramount Pictures and I do some work now and then for Disney. I also did some work for Warner Bros. on occasion because they have an in house, Universal also has an in house so I get some of those projects too.
I get a lot of projects through the Film Foundation. For example we’ve just finished The Red Shoes which is a pretty well known movie. Anyway I’ve got a good reputation through them. They find a lot of projects and they will recommend me if the person in restoration doesn’t have anyone in mind. So consequently I’ve done some work for the Museum of Modern Art through that…

Do you need a solution to UNMIX / UPMIX your old movie or record to HD sound ?
Have you ever heard about S3 a.k.a. Sound Source Separation ? Sound Source Separation transforms any mono or stereo signal into separate tracks for a nearly perfect result. We bring old contents to HD world in no time.
We are so sure of our technology, we accept any challenges in our field and guarantee success.
Bring you project and plan a meeting with our sales team at Nabshow.
