This morning, NAB put out this statement: "As we have always kept the best interest and safety of the industry as our priority, it has become apparent in the face of these challenges that we can no longer effectively host NAB Show or our co-located events, the Radio Show and Sales and Management Television Exchange, in person." Rest of the announcement: https://nabshow.com/2021/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2021/09/2021-NAB-Show-Announcement-1.pdf With luck, we can hold a JWS/RAMPS party next spring.

Welcome to Mathew Price who just joined us today. For those who do not know Mathew, and I'm sure he will post something about himself at some point, he is a veteran New York sound mixer who, amongst other things, was the mixer on all of the seasons of "The Sopranos" (one of my favorite shows of all time). Regards, Jeff Wexler

Drummer Charlie Watts, whose adept, powerful skin work propelled the Rolling Stones for more than half a century, died in London on Tuesday morning, according to his spokesperson. No cause of death was cited; he was 80. A statement from the band and Watts’ spokesperson reads: “It is with immense sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Charlie Watts. He passed away peacefully in a London hospital earlier today surrounded by his family. “Charlie was a cherished husband, father and grandfather and also a member of the Rolling Stones one of the greatest drummers of his generation.

I know, wrong group, but nevertheless... I'm currently working on a video recorder for a MoCap studio, but perhaps it could be handy for you guys as well. At the moment it can: Record video from up to 8 Blackmagick devices (A cheap BM Mini Recorder is good enough for rock 'n roll.) Take sound from another device and marry it to the video on the fly. (So no need for SDI audio embedders.) Take LTC from another device or UDP for accurate TC. Apply some effects (currently flip / rotate as I work for MoCap, but I could add LUT's or alike.) Record in 'any' codec (It's FFmpeg based), including HEVC. H264 / ProRes / HEVC have build in presets,…

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/
