An interesting development this week. A letter went out to Motion Picture Sound Editors members, announcing that they had cut ties with an unnamed organization over a product release related to generative AI. From the letter: While they did not name the “once-strong partner in sound”, there’s...

Thomas Reidel Acquires Premium Manufacturer ARRI Interesting development. ARRI have been struggling recently, especially the lighting division as they've lost a bit of the market to Aputure (for better or for worse). However, this is an acquisition by a family-owned company and not private...

It’s that time of year! If you’re a collector of plug-ins, now’s the time to add a few more to your arsenal. Here are a few things on sale that I really like to use: Oxford Reverb from Sonnox. You can get plug-ins that make things sound like they’re in different types of rooms, but they’re...

Who’s going to NAB this year? What product announcements are you looking for?

Please note that this information pertains to United States wireless operators only. If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve noticed that the available UHF frequency range for operating wireless mics and IFB has been shrinking. It started with the FCC auctioning off the 700MHz block, which...

KNOW YOUR WORTH… AND YOUR RATE So, you’ve decided to freelance as a crew person in TV and film. One of the biggest mistakes made by those new to production and freelancing is mismanaging rates, both by selling themselves short and by not knowing how to structure proper rates for billing. If...

Has anyone else here watched this documentary? It’s available to stream free on Tubi and a few other platforms. This is one of those things that’s a bit voyeuristic, and borders on exploitative, but is really hard to turn away from watching and is a bit heart-wrenching in the end. Two friends...

Just curious, for those of us who frequent the audio forum: who out there is a working production/location mixer? And if you are, what’s in your bag or on your cart? If you happen to listen to the Location Sound Podcast, you’re well aware that there are many, many different gear packages in use...

Hi, all! Wanted to share the news. This was one of the last big projects I worked (sound mixer) before the pandemic shut down production. TV series have been coming back, but no features have started up here yet. This was a great production to be on, with a fantastic cast and crew. If you have...

Hi, all. I’m typically wary of off-brand light stands (I’ve worked with some... typically hate them), but I’m having a very hard time finding Matthews C+ stands in stock, specifically with removable turtle base. They seem backordered everywhere. Lowel recently entered the C-stand game, and...
