Sorry to hear that John Heard has passed on. I enjoyed working with him on "The Milagro Beanfield War". He was a pro and his performance was top notch IMO. My condolences to his family and friends. CrewC

Web spots or whatever they are called nowadays for the "Jawbone" noise-canceling Bluetooth headset. Normal low-budg production sound in spectacularly noisy conditions that they didn't really care about. What they really wanted was the audio recorded thru the phone with their headset. This involved finding a landline phone line somewhere near where we were shooting (often blocks away to find a cooperative person who would let us camp on their phone line all day and have 7 or 8 strangers in their house listening), walkie talkie communications between the redoubtable Frances (recording the phones) and me (on the set). Slating thru the phone, 2 recorders and slate jam syn…

PK, perhaps a bit OT for the "RIP" section, but sad to see "Low Winter Sun" get the boot from AMC. While the story lines were a bit challenging at times, they made some good use of locations from my home town. A lot of old friends will now be unemployed again as a result, in a city which already has way too many people with no jobs. --S

This was done for no particular reason, but I think it's funny... http://blogs.telosalliance.com/discrepancy/predictive-audio-processor or download directly from http://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/319226/file-610345922-pdf/Discrepancy_Sheet/March_2014/PAP-Manual-1April2014.pdf?t=1395760298000 Funnier, perhaps, if you've spent time in a post studio or broadcast plant. But plenty of industry / techie gags to go around. It's based on an actual product line and manual series... http://25-seven.com/

Hello esteemed mentors and peers. GQ just posted some videos of a shoot that I recently recorded on with one of my corporate clients. http://www.gq.com/en...-guys-portfolio The only two videos I didn't record production sound and wild track FX on were the Mark Strong and Jack Gleeson. Of course, my humble production tracks are a very small part of the overall sound design, but it has been the highest profile project I've been involved with yet, and I wanted to share it with you all. As a secondary issue...what do you think of the post-sound work? Best, Steven

http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2015/04/03/jimmy-fallons-lip-sync-battle-show-gets-off-to-a-fun-start/ Well yeah, but this is a battle we've been fighting our whole careers. DPs who change camera settings in mid-stream, FCP editors who can't decide if a show is DF or NDF (remember the 'automatic' pull downs?), dub techs back when who thought a mono pilottone tape could be read and dubbed using just one of the 'stereo' tracks ('but it sounds mono'), even today's divergent a/v paths in a station and unpredictable pix processing in the home... ... and don't forget producers who sit in the back of a large theater and complain that dialog is late... Or did…

The father of all our great toys.. Stephanie Holinka of Sandia National Laboratories writes: "We are sad to report the death of former Sandia Labs Director Morgan Sparks. He's best known as the Bell Labs researcher who invented the first practical transistor. His work made possible so many other inventions. Without transistors, one cannot begin to imagine personal computers, cell phones, DVD players and the many other electronic devices we rely on daily. His contributions are pretty humbling to mere English majors like me." Las Cruces Sun-News Article

Iraqi Cinema

After dark years, lights coming back on for Iraqi cinema (Reuters) - The din of power generators, tangle of jerry-rigged electric wiring and hassle of security checkpoints are all part of the movie business in Iraq, not to mention the lack of studio space and dearth of experienced crews. But actors like Sadiq Abbas are just happy to get back to work. "The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step," Abbas said on the set of a short film shot recently in Baghdad. "Let's take this as the first step for Iraqi cinema." War and international sanctions have left most of Iraq's infrastructure and industry - including the movie industry - in sham…

This may be of interest to many in our sound community, those who are committed to democratic representative unions, some of these things revealed in the website "Viewfinder Redux" put up by the most active members fighting for a representative union. The link below is to one of the blog posts from my old friend Alan Disler. Viewfinder Redux Note: the Camera "Guild" is really just a labor UNION... they changed their name to avoid anyone thinking they should function as a labor union, committed to securing the best Wages and Working conditions for its members.

This is a cool seven-minute radio story from our local public radio station: ===== New Year's Day Music That Hasn't Been Heard in 500 Years The Hagia Sophia cathedral in Istanbul is incredibly reverberant — a sound will echo around and remain audible for eleven seconds. That reverberance shaped nearly a thousand years of music written to be performed inside the cathedral. But no one has been able to listen to what it's like to hear a church choir sing inside the Hagia Sophia for over 500 years. That is, until now. ===== Some more text, and a link to the audio story here: https://www.kqed.org/news/11754695/california-sounds-new-y…

AES Standards Committee Chair, Bruce Olson, reports an important step forward in the development of Audio over IP in broadcasting: The Audio Engineering Society and the EBU have announced a collaboration with the goal of producing a new common packet-based network standard for linear PCM audio. This liaison is officially entitled "Next generation AES/EBU Interface Based On IP Technology." These two organizations have a history of fruitful collaboration. First published in 1985, the AES3 standard, also known as the AES/EBU interface, is a fundamental standard for the transport of digital audio signals between professional devices. The new liaison is a continuation of …

I was talking with a friend about how hard it might be to restore a Wurlitzer electric piano, as one does, and that led to a chain of thoughts that led to a Google search that brought up this blast from the past. From Re/p, Sept 1970 (on that site Al McGuire discovered). https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Audio/Archive-Recording-Engineer/70s/Recording-1970-09.pdf Because of this mic and the tape recorder mod, Brad Miller sent Carl each Original Master Recording LP as they were released. I just dig that sort of thing...
