About
My mother bought me my first tape recorder when I was nine. I spent 17 in major market radio, handling the writing, voicing and production of hundreds if not thousands of commercials and promo announcements. I also began producing local bands.<br />
<br />
In 1986, I left broadcasting to pursue writing, audio production and talent work. I also began writing articles for magazines and web sites. I am currently a forum leader for the Creative Cow Audio Forum.<br />
<br />
As a guitar player, music production has always been a part of my life. In 2000, I began to attract the attention of local singer/songwriters. Helping them create their music has been a very rewarding part of my life. I mix live sound and work as a location audio recorder and mixer for film and video shoots. More information about my location audio work can be found here. <br />
<br />
I began shooting and editing video in 2005. I’ve written two books; “Advanced Audio Production Techniques” and “Ty Ford’s Audio Bootcamp Field Guide.” Info on my field guide can be found here. Another book is in the works.<br />
<br />
I re-wrote the NAB’s handbook on radio commercial copywriting and have twice updated the microphone chapter in the weighty NAB Engineering Handbook.<br />

Google “Ty Ford”...Audio...Talent and you’ll find more than you want to know. Also try www.tyford.com.<br />

Following a brain stem stroke in 2007, which passed though with no damage, I took a course in Chakra Balancing. In early 2009, I became a certified Chakra Balancer and Subtle Energy Therapist. More about that here. I also have a Facebook page for this practice. <br />

I am never bored. :) -

Meet the Engineer Preserving The Last Analog Motion Graphics Machine

Cool! So old, it's new again? -
We used to think that rechargeables had a somewhat floaty supply level and that caused problems with some circuitry, especially as the batteries age. I had a similar problem using rechargeable 9 VDC batteries in a home security system years ago. The transmitter would fail irregularly and trip the system.

Sennheiser MKH 8050 or Schoeps Colette CMC 1 and MK 41
Ty Ford replied to Alex Weinberg's topic in Equipment
My exact same experience. The 8050 seemed to have a smiley face EQ, so I also didn't like the top end. -
Which is more versatile, Sennheiser MKH50 or MKH8060?
Ty Ford replied to Nachosgrande's topic in Equipment
Are you talking about an MKH 50 or an MKH 8050? -
not with a BBG, but great mc!

On the advice of a friend, I began watching "Money Heist." As he mentioned the ADR is pretty amazing. If you're not looking for it, you can go a ways without noticing. Was there a special approach to achieving this effect?
-
so, not just a lot of data compression, real transformation! That's sort of scary.

I just read the following, "Modern telephony sends your voice using encoded phonemes, adjustment coefficients and corrections for a virtual voicebox which tries to mimic you at the other end. Actual raw audio is not sent. This is also the reason why hold music can sound pretty weird sometimes." Does anyone know if this is true?

MicPort Pro 2 - record to computer or smart phone
Ty Ford replied to Ty Ford's topic in Recording Direct to Computer
Patrick: ::sigh:: Had you read the piece, you would have learned that Rode Reporter has a problem when plugged into my iphone 11 Pro Max. When the phone screen dims or goes dark, it glitches the audio. I've been in touch with Rode about it. Their quick fix is to keep the screen turned on during recording. They may get ot the fix in the next rev. Regards, Ty Ford
