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…

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…

Hi everyone, apologies in advance if this is not the right section for the post. Does anyone recommend or have any contacts of gear rental in Dakar area? Our checked-in baggage did not arrive. We have the essentials (camera, lenses, recorder, microphones, wireless, etc) but are missing things like booms, cables, accessories. Thankful for any tips.

After much consideration I have decided to not do the annual r.a.m.p.s./jwsound party at NAB this year. I am still very concerned about Covid and feel that NAB and the party specifically, could end up being a super-spreader event. For me personally, at my age and overall health, I should not be risking being involved in that sort of gathering. Hopefully by next year things will have really settled down and we will be able to gather again without any real worry. I apologize to those who were looking forward to NAB and the party.

URSA has created a YT series called "what's in your kit?" and for this new one they met with my compatriote Stéphane Bucher during his prep for Ridley Scott's next project Napoleon. I found the video quite interesting and Stephane is very generous and open about his kit and choices. His lucky sound department has a team of 6 and a large sound van to make jealous most of us I believe 😅 Particularly interesting to me are his choices to deal with long distance set (eg. Dante with back up recorder on set for the radio mikes, but wired booms with an 8 ch multipair directly to his Cantar). Really worth a look even for experienced sound mixers.

I know I'm a total novice and will probably look stupid in this group full of experts, but can anyone help with an audio related issue with my Sennheiser MKH50 P48... I have recently purchased a Sennheiser MKH50 P48. I am doing talking head work and plugging my MKH50 into a Sony XLR K3M which is connected to my Sony A7Siii. I am finding with the MKH50 that I am getting this very high pitched noise on my recordings. When I use my other XLR Microphones (I have tried two different ones) on the K3M I do not get this noise. As you can imagine I am tearing my hair out! You can listen to a sample of the noise here which is a WAV file - https://www.dropbox.com/s/lguudvie3afj…

Looks like this year the Academy has gone to just one category, Best Sound, instead of splitting it between sound mixing and sound editing. Does this mean that sound editing has been dropped altogether? BEST SOUND Belfast (Denise Yarde, Simon Chase, James Mather and Niv Adiri) Dune (Mac Ruth, Mark Mangini, Theo Green, Doug Hemphill and Ron Bartlett) No Time to Die (Simon Hayes, Oliver Tarney, James Harrison, Paul Massey and Mark Taylor) The Power of the Dog (Richard Flynn, Robert Mackenzie and Tara Webb) West Side Story (Tod A. Maitland, Gary Rydstrom, Brian Chumney, Andy Nelson and Shawn Murphy)

Started watching this doc and quickly noticed it is very sound driven over lots of repurposed video footage. Has anyone come across sound clips of some of this original footage to help give a good before and after comparison regarding the forensic cleanup? The cleanup of both video and audio seems to be very state of the art. Cant wait for the 16hr directors cut
