We knew Jeff Wexler was honored with a Career Achievement award a few years back but this is even better. There's now a video store in Los Angeles that only stocks movies that were mixed by Jeff Wexler. Is that cool or what. Congrats, Jeff! Take a look... https://goo.gl/p70CPk

As of today Professional Sound Services of Ft. Lauderdale is no more. But fear not the new name is "Production Sound Solutions" now owned & operated by Eric Toline & Ahmed Lugo. Address & telephone numbers are the same. I am still going to be the chief curmudgeon that you all have grown to know & love.

"The eight-part series explores the art of music recording, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the birth of brand new sounds. New episodes weeknights Nov. 14-23." Starts next Monday on US public broadcasting. Looks like episodes might be available for free streaming online after first broadcast. Not sure if there are geographic restrictions. But the series sounds interesting. I hear there's a whole episode dedicated to ribbon mics :-). http://www.pbs.org/soundbreaking/home/ Can't get a read on what the whole thing is like from the trailer...but check it out:

That's Don Coufal and Crew Chamberlain, two of my most favorite people, two of my oldest friends and fellow workers. I love seeing them together, working on a commercial, loving life! So much communal history, kind of blows my mind we've been around this long.

'I will mumble this only once': BBC's Nazi drama SS-GB hit by dialogue complaints SS-GB, the BBC’s new alternative history miniseries, has become the corporation’s latest primetime costume drama to be marred by complaints about mumbling. The audience for the second episode of Jamaica Inn fell by 1.6 million after the initial complaints. The BBC’s controller of drama commissioning, Ben Stephenson, was apologised to viewers and promised the corporation would examine the sound issues that plagued the first episode. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/feb/20/i-will-mumble-this-only-once-bbcs-new-nazi-drama-ss-gb-hit-by-dialogue-complaints

We were organizing and packing a big expendable order yesterday while loading our truck to start a show. We had ordered 400 Lithium 9 Volt batteries to cover the first few episodes. The Dynamis brand that we normally order has recently been shipping in ridiculously extra packaging to hold just 10 batteries. We removed the plastic holder and were able to fit 21 batteries in the cardboard box. 40 boxes down to 19. I know the packaging probably has something to do with shipping, but all that extra plastic is just awful. Josh

The Brooks Institute went bust not too long ago and they're liquidating all of their stuff with an online auction. If you browse through the lots you'll see lots of good audio gear (Sennheiser 416s, Sound Devices 744Ts, Sennheiser G3 wireless sets, etc.) at what could wind up being great prices. I'd bid on a few things but they have to be picked up in LA withing two days of the auction end on the 18th and I can't do it. https://www.bidspotter.com/en-us/auction-catalogues/timed/brian-testo-associates/catalogue-id-bscbri10019

I want to thank Gotham Sound for the huge amount of effort they put into their mix assist demo--it was really informative and dealt very honestly with the issues of this technology (and also for including both SD and Zax as well as the Yamaha as a control). I listened to all the demos with headphones and pretty much agreed with their conclusions. My overarching thought was that with a little room treatment (of the unseen parts of the room) and perhaps the removal of the fan and some small directives to the talent, the scene could have been covered by a good pro boom op, (or 2) and would have ended up sounding far more natural and cinematic. Yes, the boom op(s) would ha…
