Audio Design Desk, today announced that it has been named a CES® 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for its namesake product Audio Design Desk (ADD), the award-winning creative tool that has revolutionized how artists create audio for video. This year’s CES Innovation Awards program received a record high number of over 1800 submissions. The announcement was made ahead of CES 2022, the world’s most influential technology event, happening Jan. 5-8 in Las Vegas, NV and digitally.
The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in 27 consumer technology product categories. Those with the highest rating receive the “Best of Innovation” distinction. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic and design.
Audio Design Desk, exhibiting now at the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show (Eureka Park, booth 60739), is the fastest, easiest way to produce audio for video. With over 30,000 royalty free sounds, loops and music cues, ADD gives creatives the ability to add compelling audio to video through a simple yet powerful interface. Whether scoring a film, adding sound design and foley, recording a podcast, or writing a song, Audio Design Desk eliminates the busy work and elevates one’s creativity.
“We’re absolutely thrilled to receive such high praise for Audio Design Desk,” states Gabriel Cowan, CEO of Audio Design Desk. “Just over a year ago, designing sound for video was a tedious, time consuming, and painstaking process that required expensive software and hours of work. Now, with ADD, professional sound design is straightforward and powerfully creative. But this is not just for professionals. The reason our team works so hard on this tool is to democratize professional audio. Audio Design Desk is built to give anyone, at any level, the ability to create cinema quality sound in seconds. Thank you to CES for recognizing this game-changing technology.”
