ycainjo Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 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
Rick Reineke Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 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
osa Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 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
Jim Feeley Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 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
ycainjo Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Posted March 24, 2022 @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
osa Posted March 24, 2022 Report Posted March 24, 2022 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

It comes with a CD. The CD has tutorial tracks, diagnostics, and demonstrations. Would this be an updated version of what you have? Quote

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
AndrewL Posted September 8, 2022 Report Posted September 8, 2022 Hello everyone, Any updates on having these files retrieved? I had no idea Mr. Rose had passed, I'm very sorry to hear. This text is a fantastic teaching resource and it would be great to have access to those files again. -Andrew Quote

I have my copy of the book, so I have the passwords, but... even using wayback machine and entering the password, the site is now defunct. Is anyone able to share them with me, please?? Happy New Year to all BTW..... Simon B Quote
Jim Feeley Posted January 3, 2023 Report Posted January 3, 2023 A few months ago, I had some exchanges with Jay's current publisher (to be clear: they're not being jerks; it's just a matter of chasing everything down). I'll follow up and see what can be done. I also may have some around in my deep archives (I worked on the original versions of the book). If anyone else has the files handy, I'm guessing no one would freak out if they were made quietly available (for free, of course). Quote

Sorry about my mixup Hello, I've just bought the book "post production for film and video" and I was looking for the cd. I can see @osayou said you can digitalise the cd, that would be amazing! I would gladly pay you for that. Quote

Rick Reineke Posted January 10, 2023 Report Posted January 10, 2023 Audio editing software (like Sound Forge) and many DAWs can extract (aka, rip) the PCM audio files from an audio CD. The problem is.. no one seems to have the CD. Quote
John McClary Posted January 14, 2023 Report Posted January 14, 2023 I never knew - RIP Jay. My class is starting to use his book as a textbook. There will be less detailed examples if these audio files are not available. Thanks for looking into this, Jim. Quote
jwalters1 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Posted April 20, 2023 The Routledge link has a “Supporting Materials” section with a “Media” download link. It contains a zip file with the audio files and the missing Chapter 9. https://www.routledge.com/Producing-Great-Sound-for-Film-and-Video-Expert-Tips-from-Preproduction/Rose/p/book/9780415722070# Quote
