September 24, 1999 -- Kind of Loud Technologies, specialists in surround sound software, are poised to release follow-on products to their popular SmartPan Pro(TM) 5.1 panning plug-in for Pro Tools.

Tweetie is a monitoring and calibration plug-in for surround sound production. Tweetie features system calibration with trim control, adjustable delays on each channel to compensate for speaker placement, and overall reference level control including a 20dB dim button. Tweetie also provides intelligent downmixing from 5.1 to stereo for previewing mixes on non-surround playback systems.

Woofie offers bass redirection tools to accommodate a variety of potential playback speaker arrangements. Woofie also offers subwoofer signal previewing before the encode/decode process thereby avoiding time consuming – and unfortunate – surprises.

Tweetie and Woofie will debut in October 1999 at a US list price of $495 each. Kind of Loud products are available worldwide through selected Pro Tools resellers and via the Kind of Loud web site.
