I don't know how many on the list have seen BLOOD DIAMOND, but with my wife on the road last night, and the Netflix DVD sitting by itself on the coffee table...
That's pretty bad. In their defense (being one of those pesky movie sound guys) it's often pretty damn hard to have the luxury of tracking down a whole library...
I hear you. I'm in both camps - I have clients telling me what they want, and if they won't listen to my gentle insistence that it's the wrong sound, I do it,...
Yes I'm afraid there are about 10 million other things that filmmakers are thinking about besides getting the soundtrack to be species accurate because they...
Tricky isn't it. I now work mostly in theatre where 'sound effects' are exactly that, sounds that do the job or have the right effect, i.e. to assist the...
I sympathize. I just finished reading a back issue of Archeology where they savaged Mel Gibson's Apocalypto for hijacking Meso American culture to make a...
I need some suggestions for a good portable digital recorder. We have been using a Sony Mini Disc unit, but the time it takes to convert the files from audio...

I have recovered data off of both external and internal HDs with a very simple method. Using Linux. Three External Hard drives that Windows or OS would not...
Mostly laziness, Tim. And profound cynicism (like you say "99%'ll never know the difference..." so why try to make a difference with our work, right?) I've...
Hi Suzanne The latest mini-disk offering from Sony the MZ RH1 is USB2 so will download the files very quickly, via the SonicStage software, and is probably the...
No, I do agree with you on this point. My only point is that the sound editors themselves are often not fully to blame. A lot of them, if they had the time or...
i will give a plug for "Auntie beeb" here, the BBC have been getting it right for decades, they have the biggest sound vault in the world including the British...

I offered to go to record for Carroll on "Duma" (he's a friend and neighbor). But he said he didn't have the budget and that he would pick up a sound recordist...
I'll put in my fave: Spinrite6 http://www.grc.com I've recovered data from failed drives and trashed OS where re formatting is not an option. Reads all file...

I'd be happy to record some suburban neighborhood sounds for all those TV commercials that play the Savannah Sparrow out on someone's front lawn. The more...
Hi Chris, Your sound resembles a song type I know from the Willow Tits in the marsh area's in our Low Countries. This song type over here is only performed...
Hi Chris, You might contact Gordon Hempton, he virtually lives in the Olympic Park. He is also a member of this group, however he will be mostly in the field I...

Two thoughts on this thread. One, Tim, that sounds like my husband. He is forever telling me that car won't go that fast, or would outrun the other, or...

Thanks, Phil, for the suggestions. I will forward what you said to my employer, as he was the one who wanted to know! As to using the Sony software. Our...
