Some recent listener feedback


Shutters Inc

Firstly let me start with reference to something that Bruce had mentioned, I think in episode 137.
You were quite concerned with the audio quality that you were able to present to listeners from the portable recorder used at Echuca, the audio on that episode was fine.
I have recently dabbled with other podcasts, and have since canceled all of the downloads except Shutters Inc.
Bruce the quality of the audio delivered by you leaves all others far behind, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great pod casts not only in the information passed on but also the technical quality.

Bruce, I can only say, in my opinion, that the services you are providing are greatly appreciated.

Building the pod

I've only recently decided to get back into music production after a prolonged absence.
So, when it came to choosing a DAW, it came down to a choice between FL Studio and Audition.
Dollar wise, quite similar although FL Studio does offer more in the way of virtual instruments for this price range.
But I chose Audition for two clear reasons.
1. I really like the look and feel. The layout is just easy on the eye and made sense to me very quickly.
2. I knew I had a great teacher. I discovered Building the Pod through the Adobe web site and soon found Sine Language.
I have to thank you sincerely for your weekly tuition.
It has turned a somewhat severe learning curve into managable bite size pieces.
I simply can't overstate how thankful I am of your weekly podcasts.
Bye for now.

Building the pod – episode 100

At last!
Just when you thought it was never gonna get here… the big one ton is here!

So, what’s in store for episode 100?
A promo remix in real time, for Rem Lavictoire.

Yeah yeah yeah, but what about the damned prizes, man? That’s all we’re here for!

Oh yeah, right…. ok.

Well, Peter Baker at Beatbox Music
Beatbox Music
has been kind enough to donate a copy of the Podcasting Production Toolkit CD.
This is a CD of royalty free music AND sound effects that you can use for polishing up your podcast!
Podcasting Production Toolkit

While I will confess to not having heard the CD yet, I have dealt with Peter professionally for over 20 years, and he has always represented some of the finest music production companies around… and I have no reason to suspect that this won’t be an AWESOME collection of sounds to have at your disposal.

Audition 2.0 Essentail Training
And to keep the CD theme going, I have 3 more copies of the Adobe Audition 2.0 Essential Training Guide from Lynda.com to give away as 2nd, 3rd and 4th prizes.

OK, so what do you have to do to win one of these great prizes?

Well, this is where you’re gonna hate me. I’m not going to tell you… just yet.
In order to make this fair, I’m going to hold off posting the details of the competition for 72 hours.
The reason for that is, it will give those on slower internet connections a chance to be involved too.
So, at around midday GMT on Wednesday (25th July 2007), I’ll post the details right here.

Nasty, aren’t I? :)

In the meantime, enjoy the video!

    Hey Bruce!

    Wow, I just watched the video podcast, and I extend huge congratulations and thanks for reworking my promo!

    It was an absolutely invaluable experience to watch you work your magic, and find ways to improve it.

    I’m going to pass this around to my audio editing friends. I’m sure they’ll learn alot, and I get a shameless plug for my voice work.

    Also, seeing a professional work with Audition taught me there’s so much more to the program than what I’ve been using. It’s great to see a different perspective on editing and navigating the Audition interface.

    Fantastic job, mate!

    Thanks,

    Rem

    BTP 100 was so much more than I expected as an anniversary episode. If a picture’s worth a thousand words, a video is priceless. Any download issues were washed away by the content.

    Rem’s promo was great (WTG, Rem)! I’m glad you used something so professional to demonstrate the artistic side of mixing and mastering. We were able to experience your thought processes and really see them in action. I even gave my monitor two thumbs up when you isolated the voice click in spectral view and it couldn’t be seen in waveform display.

    I was also excited to see Ozone popup during the Podcast. However, I was surprised to see the input gain slider grabbed first. Until I know how to use it properly, I’ll still keep my mouse off of it…and not do audio by numbers…and not ruin songs with the multi…you get it.

    Bruce, thank you so much for taking the time to put this episode together. I know we can’t expect every episode to be another BTP 100, but I hope you don’t make us wait another 2 years before we see another. Thanks again for teaching us a little more every week. You really out did yourself on this episode.
