ycainjo Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Hi all I am reading Jay's book "Producing Great Sound for Film and Video", and would like to listen audio example files, but the companion site doesn't work anymore (http://www.greatsound.info). Does anyone previously downloaded all the audio files and pdf from the companion site and could share them to me ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Reineke Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 You could search the Wayback machine which has archives of many websites. I am not sure where else the files would exist, unless someone saved them. Unfortunately, our friend Jay passed in early 2020. RIP Jay, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I have the disc that came with the book! Assuming that has the files you were looking for? I will gladly digitize them for you and send, assuming thats ok since you purchased the book and they were listed free on the website at one point if i am not mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Feeley Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 The files most likely still belong to either the book's publisher or to Jay's heirs. (I was Jay's editor at Digital Video magazine and helped him shape his first book. We became friends). I just sent a note to who I think is the correct and current contact at the publisher, Routledge. I asked if they can make the files available or are OK with them being shared and/or posted elsewhere (such as somewhere on this site). Here's the Routledge page with a link to the defunct website. https://www.routledge.com/Producing-Great-Sound-for-Film-and-Video-Expert-Tips-from-Preproduction/Rose/p/book/9780415722070 Also, following Rick's suggestion, here's one Wayback Machine snapshot of Jay's greatsound.info site. I didn't try to download the files, but looks like they may be there: https://web.archive.org/web/20190212161531/http://www.greatsound.info/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Thank you for clarifying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ycainjo Posted March 24 Author Report Share Posted March 24 @Jim Feeley thank you for contacting Routledge ! I tried Wayback Machine (thanks Rick), but because files were password protected, they were not archived - or I don't find how to access them. @osa if you have the disc, it would be great if you could share me the files. My book copy is a Print-on-demand without disk, with only Jay's website adress to download the files... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osa Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Well my bad completely. even if I wanted to give you the files under the publishers proper authorization, I unfortunately was thinking of the wrong Jay Rose book that i had the cd for… when you mentioned the audio files I remember Jay himself telling me I’d be lucky to find this book in print with the CD still included. Sorry about my mixup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with a CD. The CD has tutorial tracks, diagnostics, and demonstrations. Would this be an updated version of what you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie, you have an older edition, and pretty much a different/narrower book, than the one ycainjo has. Ycainjo's book pretty much updates and expands on the one you have and the one osa has. So I've been in touch with the Routledge editors, and they're looking into all this. Basically---how can they make the files and perhaps website available again. Cool that they're responsive. Still waiting on a followup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
