Description
Walker is a comprehensive, flexible and easy to use sound design tool that delivers everything you need to create realistic footstep and movement sounds. Built on a library of over 25,000 samples, Walker lets you choose any combination of 3 different mic pairs (placed near and far), 6 types of shoes, 14 ground surfaces with ground effects and 8 types of clothing. Perform steps in auto or manual modes with independent control over toe, heel and scuff timing to create perfect sync with your source, and adjust the volume of clothing, shoes, scuffing, floor and ground effects like creaking wood, dirt, leaves and branches, water and more to get the exact sound needed. Deep, flexible and well organized, Walker is an indispensable tool for post facilities and sound designers.
Walker was designed from end-to-end to provide an exacting quality for the demands of professional use. A massive library of over 25,000 samples was meticulously recorded at the prestigious Technicolor Sound Stage in Paris, France and edited for precise and reliable playback. Each sound was recorded with 3 matched mic pairs placed near and far, exposed and selectable within the UI, including Schoeps CMC6 (small-diaphragm cardioid), Neumann U87 (large-diaphragm cardioid) and DPA 4006 (omni-directional).
Walker utilizes a single UI editor with a central HUD preview showing the currently loaded mic, shoes, clothing and ground surface, while focused panels provide control over mics, clothing, shoes, floor, surface effects, step mode, effects and advanced settings. Each editor panel provides a number of options for customizing your sound:
Master
Select which mic pair to monitor, adjust the volume, pitch and pitch variance (to create natural variation), resonance and dynamic range.
Presets
Walker includes a large selection of ready-made presets to help speed-up your workflow. Choose from templates such as Alley - Trainers, Church - High Heels, Creaking Floor - Bare Feet, Upstairs Neighbors - Dress Shoes etc., then once selected, settings can be tuned as needed and can be saved as either discrete presets or with your DAW session.
A comprehensive and fully-customizable software solution for creating realistic cinema-quality footsteps and feet foley, Walker provides complete sound customization, smart-automation and exceptional sound quality in a convenient and easy-to-use package.
