SONICPOOL CONTINUES FURTHER IN-ROADS INTO REALITY
TELEVISION WITH SECOND SEASON MIXING COMMITMENT TO
“DESTINATION TRUTH”
For the new season of “Destination Truth,” SonicPool will be providing
mixing and online services for, and renting one of its state-of-theart
edit suites, to Ping Pong Productions, Inc. Every week, host Josh
Gates visits different locales across the globe where he interviews
witnesses in an attempt to get to the truth regarding some of the
world’s most notorious supernatural mysteries.
Brad Kuhlman, Executive Producer of “Destination Truth” and
president of Ping Pong Productions, said, “Traveling around the
world hunting for evidence of crypto-zoological beasts can
sometimes present our production team with less than perfect
audio. But the guys at SonicPool somehow make it all sound so
good you’d never know about our troubles in the field. I always
love going to a final mix session with the SonicPool guys, because
not only does the mix sound amazing, but they always take the
time to pepper in a host of great original sound effects that give
my shows just a little extra kick. These guys take a lot of pride in
delivering a great sounding show, each and every time.”
