Well there was bad news today as Arclight cinemas and Pacific Theatre Group announced they would not be re-opening any of their theaters. This is the chain that runs the historic Cinerama Dome in Hollywood and several multiplexes in Los Angeles and other large cities. These theatres were all luxury cinemas that had been charging premium rates for films and refreshments. If they could not make it with their high ticket prices it doesn't bode well for those that worked on an even smaller profit margin. So the chance to experience the latest Blockbuster in Full Dolby Atmos sound will be harder and harder to come by. Maybe some Hedge fund company will swoop in and bu…

My question towards the members using the R4+ RECORDER. I have cast of 12 scripted parts. Obviously more than my mixer, ( Digital out option on my mixer ES84 to R4+) , if I go to physical inputs XLR 1-4 and 2 more lines on TA 3 F 5 and 6. I am now recording 8 digital in ( 1 Mix-Mono; rest 2-8 ISO) the added channels going to Tracks 9-16 are part of the same poly file but not in the Mix. More to it 9-14 are analog post fader- not ISO pre- fader ?! So, how do I craete a poly file with normal Mix- ch1, and the rest normal 2-14 iso ? Let alone feeding the Public IFB Lectors for Company . Many Thnks to all members in regards to my dilemma .

Here's a decent streaming link of Burning Man 2016. In two days will be the actual burn. The webcam is about 35 feet up. There's audio and some commentary from time to time. I hear an air conditioner in the DJ container, as well. There seems to be SO much more illumination now, as LED has really come quite a ways since '97. Last night looked like a carnival got scattered all over The Black Rock Desert. Back in 1997, this was my first real sound job working under extremely adverse conditions. Dust gets into everything. The camera dept struggled daily with their BetaSP. I was able to successfully avoid sunburn too. I had an FP33 (not mine) and a Betacam breakaway…

Hey all, Has anyone had a file show up on the .CSV report and not be on the drive. I've had this issue just today where I recorded the file, and wrote the csv at the end of the day. Now I see 2 of the exact same file names on my machine. I am missing take 2 of 2 of a file called X42BT2. I recorded it and the CSV tells me its' there but there is no actual file on my hard drive or CF card. Stranger thing to, is that the DIT had a warning error message saying that file X42BT2 was a duplicate and could not be copied. I have not contact SD and I will of course but wondering if anyone has had this issue and how they may have resolved it. Thanks so much B

I’m not sure what changed here at JW sound but seems like the default view for looking at new content now shows repetitive topic headers for every new post within a topic. Ends up looking very cluttered, especially on a phone. Does anyone know if this can be reset or setup differently in preferences? Thanks!

Woodland Studio B, 1982 - Commercial I took a 17 piece group to this room with an old Neve - I told the assistant what we had coming in and when he asked how I wanted the room setup - I asked him how long he had worked there’d he said 3 years - ‘then you know your room and what works, help me impress this producer and we will all gain a client”. The only thing I requested was all large cap german mics - all day tracking I kept looking at the producer trying not to grin at each other - Neve’s forever https://mixdownmag.com.au/features/rupert-neve-exploring-the-audio-architects-everlasting-legacy/

Sad to read about the passing of Rupert Neve today. The soundtrack to mine, and many others lives were recorded and mixed on a Neve. While not too popular with us I always loved hearing from the handful of Mixers who did used them on a cart. Seemed so exotic!

Mark Capps showing us how he puts a mix together. The studio is The Sound Shop in Nashville, which was bulldozed a few years ago to make room for condo's. The console is a Trident Vector. Good stuff starts around :50 and is over by 4:00. I know nothing about the project or Larry Cappetto.

Chat feature will be disabled as I work on installing something which I think will work better. Thank you for your patience. I installed the Chatbox on this site many months ago but it has gotten ZERO use by any of our members. I'm not even sure it is displayed in the navigation area on the main page. Is there anyone who wants to see if it is working (and more importantly I would like to hear if this is a feature anybody will want to use). Below you will see a screenshot that shows the button in the header for the Chatbox.

Quite often sound is the most under-appreciated aspect of filmmaking even though photography and sound are the two most important tools in cinematic storytelling. This is a workshop for those who want to explore the technical knowledge and set procedures required of professional sound recordists and mixers in a wide range of field productions. It will be equally attentive to craft and theory. Led by Oscar-Winning Production Sound Mixer Mark Ulano, the workshop covers the preparation, necessary equipment, processes and techniques for recording and mixing sound in the field. Students learn to appreciate the protocols common to all TV and movies, the importance…

I was tempted to add this to the Gallery of Sound Carts. But I bet someone else already has. (ht to Jason DeGraw who posted this on Facebook). Everything old is new again.
