#### Discover how Ryan Billia creates with the [Hybrid Library](https://www.prosoundeffects.com/hybrid-library/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=Hybrid&utm_content=link) in his one-stop audio post facility.

Pro Sound Effects spent a day with sound designer Ryan Billia in his [Rumble Audio](http://rumbleaudio.com/) studio in Brooklyn, NY to capture his creative process and approach to film sound.

As the owner of a multi-service audio post production company, Billia details the span of his work from collaborating with directors to sound editorial, ADR, Foley, and final mix. With a background advertising and television, he also describes the unique challenges of focusing more on indie film projects.

> #### *“The need for high quality has never changed. We have to work with making sure that we're creating quality sound...but in a shorter amount of time and with less money.”*

We also got an inside look at how Billia used the [Hybrid Library](https://www.prosoundeffects.com/hybrid-library/?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=Hybrid&utm_content=link) on the indie film *Land Ho!* (footage courtesy of Sony Pictures Classics) including sound designing a massive Icelandic geyser blast.

Explore how the Hybrid Library boosted his workflow as a source of creative fuel, and learn how he brought the project to life with surround ambiences, winds, ocean waves, and Foley recordings.
