TOBIAS MENGUSER –
THE DESIGNER BEHIND HORIZON LEADS
Tobias Menguser has been working in sound design since the 1990s and started out programming synths for companies like Waldorf, Ensoniq and Clavia and did pioneer work in producing sample CD-ROMs for Ensoniq EPS16+ and ASR10.
In the early 2000s Tobias has been working for Native Instruments for over 10 years, he helped make Komplete what it is today and in the last ten years he has contributed sounds for over 450 US movie trailers.
Tobias’s latest projects mainly focus on software instrument building and include work for Sonuscore, Softube, Heavyocity, Steinberg, Presonus, and Arturia. “Besides building instruments I also design sounds for US movie trailers,” Tobias tells us, “and it’s always great to hear my own sounds in Star Wars or Avengers trailers.”
In his studio on Mallorca, he created the cinematic sounds for Horizon Leads using his extensive equipment with many analog synths and a 19″ wall of both rare and state of the art effect devices.
