Haggar
Audio Staff
When Rob Haggar
founded Haggar Audio in 1985, the world of audio production was quite a
bit different than it is today. Razor blades, recording tape, and
turntables were the norm; digital audio workstations, DAT decks, and
recordable CDs were still somewhere in the future.
Since then, music and sound effects libraries on CD replaced the
records, computers replaced the reel-to-reel decks, computer sound
files and CD-ROMs replaced reels of tape...but while the technology
changed, Rob's award-winning production style has remained the same.
A typical day for Rob includes...well, really, there is no typical day.
Every project is unique; the day might start off with recording some
narration for a corporate video, then move onto producing a local radio
spot, and finish with running digital audio restoration on a
microcasette for an area law firm...or he may spend a few days
sweetening and mixing a national television campaign, making sure all
the elements are in perfect balance and the the mix sounds just right.
Clients love Rob's ability to quickly find and cut together just the
right piece of music, or to find just the right sound effect...and
clients also love Rob's "ear"; his ability to give each television show
or corporate video a sound that can't be purchased in a computer
software package-they know that all the technology in the world is only
as good as the person using it.
Rob has an extensive background in music and communications, which led
to a successful career as a radio personality in Lincoln, Nebraska;
Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; and here in Madison, Wisconsin. He
then started Haggar Audio, and since then, he has lent his voice and
talents to thousands of projects and won numerous awards...finalist at
the New York Film Festival, Radio's Best Awards, Silver Mike Awards,
Telly Awards, and local, regional, and national Addy awards.
Recent notable credits include sound designer, music editor,
and mixer for Discovery Channel's "Flood of the Milennium" &
Discovery Channel's "Billion Dollar Disasters" series (produced
by Murphy Entertainment Group), National Geographic Channel's
"Wildlife Detectives" series (also produced by MEG), and dialog
editor, music editor, sound designer and mixer for ChillStar
Pictures' feature film "Stricken" and Modern Ping-Pong's film "No
Sleep 'til Madison" (both available on DVD).
