In episode 107, Rob Scalise gets on my soapbox about the potential dangers of prolonged use of headphones.
My man in Hollywood got back to us with answers to Jay’s questions from ep 106 re: movie audio.
Ernie wrote and mentioned that he prefers my AKG C3000 to my R84. He also commented on previous assertions that my podcasts were distorted, and asked about recording nature sounds with field recorders and what would be the best way to approach it.
This led me off on a discussion of how it’s not JUST the microphone which influences our perception of the recorded sound, but that the mic preamp, plus any outboard gear etc etc also play a big role.
Which then led me off an a train of thought related to Slau’s latest podcast episode where he did a shootout between a whole bunch of large diaphragm condensor mics.
   Some recent listener feedbackShutters 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. Mark Chapman Sine Language Bruce, I can only say, in my opinion, that the services you are providing are greatly appreciated. J. R. 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. Ross Huntley |

Thank you to Bruce and the mystery hollywood sound guy! That was very informative. It’s great that hollywood still recognizes the power of dynamic program material. If only we could get music CD producers to reallize the same.
