This week, a couple of links from my man in Hollywood:
An article from Sound On Sound magazine on surround sound,
plus this excerpt from the NAB Engineering Handbook on Audio for Digital Television.
Also, another war story for ya!
For anyone who needs help remembering their DAW’s keyboard shotcuts, try Editor’s Keys.
A quick moment of introspection about the quality of my work at ARN,
Jim Weishorn brought the Pleasurize Music Foundation to our attention, including their free Dynamic Range meter.
Then, Felix told us about his home made plate reverb.
He also pointed me to this article on tightenening up your mixes with the aid of a spectrum analyzer.
Which proved a nice link to my final piece…. my newly acquired Genelec 7050B subwoofer.
   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 |

Huh… went back to the Pleasurize Music Foundation’s website to redownload the TT Dynamic Range Meter plugin… and now you have to be an “active” member, which requires a $30 “contribution”. Riiight… because scamming people out of their money really supports your cause. So much for using this plugin to illustrate the issue to my non-audio/technical friend. I’m all for ending the loudness wars, but charging people like this is only hurting your cause, guys.
(I know this is a somewhat old post now, but I had to vent.)

Is that right?
I agree Steve.
A $5 donation I could have believed.
But $30 sounds like someone tryin’ to make a quick buck.
Funny you should mention this now… have a listen to this week’s SL!
