We are celebrating the 16th anniversary of the JWSOUND site which continues to be a vibrant and highly popular resource for our sound community. I have seldom asked for donations to support this site , over the years there have been so many spontaneous and generous unsolicited donations it has been a real help in running the site. At this time I am asking for donations if you are able to as the expense of running the site has increased (hasn't everything except our wages!) I have never strived to monetize this site as many other sites have and there has been over the years substantial support from the paid advertising banners running on the site. Many of the companies tha…

I am asking that those members that feel they can afford it to donate a small amount of money to help me with the costs of maintaining this Discussion Group site and CinemaSound. I have been able to manage on my own for the last 5 years to keep these sites up and running, upgrading the software that powers this forum, upgrading my server accounts, routine and some not so routine maintenance, but I could use some help now. I am asking for a donation of $10.00 (US) on a yearly basis to keep all this going. This is totally voluntary and no one should fear that either of these great sites will be taken down if no one donates. I am asking for $10.00 but any amount will be ap…

I’m thinking of switching over to IFBlue from my r1a and Comtek. But I use my R1a as a scratch track for camera occasionally. Could I use IFBlue to send scratch track to camera?

The story is that I carried my nagra iv-stc, microphones and cables, walked for a mile, and then used it to record a chamber piece with me (viola) and pianist and soprano (it took place in the atrium of the school and you could hear people walking around). The machine is so heavy, and the cargo bag, is not ergonomic at all. It resulted that when I arrived the place, I was really tired, and I had a very hard time to finish the performance. Luckily enough, the machine works well. And a short sound example, only got gain on volume: 001.wav

In May 2023, K-Tek and the LA Sound Mixers are bringing Ken Strain and his BoomRight Masterclass to Berlin and Rome. An RSVP links and full event details will be posted very soon. In the meantime, this is the intro of the original Boom Operators Masterclass taught by Ken Strain here in Los Angeles in 2017. Ken’s presentation would eventually evolve to become the BoomRight Masterclass and, with the help of Brenda Klemme and Tino Liberatore of K-Tek, it would play in New York, Munich, London, Chicago, Atlanta and many other cities around the world. We are looking forward to bringing this seminar along with a panel discussion on production sound to Berlin and Rome in May 202…

Anyone see this new reality/competition show on Netflix? 1st episode they have 100 contestants in a room, everyone is miked up. I was wondering how they could coordinate so many frequencies and which wireless they were using. I also wondered how they were mixing, routing, and tracking everything and which lavs (the necklace mics) they were using. Then in the first competition, it's 50 people at a time, hanging from a grid. Then they each fall into a pool. The mic gets wet but again I was wondering which transmitters they were using and how they were protecting them. Anyone have any info about the sound team and how they did what they did? They also have dozens…

An interview w/ Tom Hidley who revolutionized audio control rooms with his Westlake Audio design, with the support of Record Plant founders Gary Kelgren and Chris Stone. A Westlake Audio room in LA would be synonymous with a Westlake room in London or Shanghai. A 2015 conversation between audio trailblazer Tom Hidley and Record Plant co-founder Chris Stone (moderated by Steve Harvey). Tom Hidley: You can’t really talk about Record Plant unless you talk about two main individuals. The first being Gary Kellgren, who was the visionary behind the package, and Chris Stone, who actually made it happen financially, following budget…

I got a nice surprise with my spam this morning, an email from John Anderson letting me know that microphone-data.com has been resurrected and relaunched as Micpedia.com https://micpedia.com (Note I just typed that out - it's not working for me at least as a link, but should be easy enough for any of you to type/find) I haven't looked at it yet but the old mic-data was a very useful and much missed resource, particularly for comparing stuff at a glance (relative sensitivities between mics the like) and for vintage models. I hope this is as good, if not even better, and wish them the best of luck. Jez

The death of Halnya Hutchins on the set a few days ago made me recall several scares and close calls I had around guns on films over the years. Guns have been a part of movie making since the beginning, and the procedures for working with them safely have been around for a long time. As with "Rust", my bad gun moments were all on low-budget/high-ambition projects.... Anyone else?

I was browsing Ebay for some used gear and came across a post that seems a bit fishy to me. It's a full ENG kit with some older model letros, SD 302, boom pole etc. The poster didn't seem to know much in depth detail about the gear and the price seemed somewhat low to me. The listing location is in LA. Here's a link to the listing. Hopefully I'm wrong and it's legit!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/324466804066?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28

Apologies if this thread has already been started. Re: The quite useful Sennheiser website (for those who may travel to an unfamiliar city on short notice) that allows one to type in a zip code and find out what television stations are on the air in that locality: [http://sennheiser.us/freqfinder/index2.html] Up until two or three days ago, the range of frequencies listed started at channel 14 and ended at channel 52. As of this morning, the upper limit displayed is channel 36. They say their website is linked directly to FCC, so this may be an FCC modification. Or, since manufacturers will be no longer man…
