Radium? Damn Near Killed Him

Radium Audio is a sound design firm doing some very creative stuff in London with two of my favorite things: guns and microphones!

Gaff Tape and Bubble Gum

Okay, so to save myself from having to double post, I'm going to try using an RSS feed as a source from my Pro Audio Coalition blog back to here. Clunky and ugly, but it serves its purpose. If it doesn't work for some of you using your own RSS readers, let me know and I can figure out something else. Semaphore, maybe...

There's a New Sheriff in Town...

First, I’d like to thank the Academy…that is, Starfleet Academy for being so awesome (dude: they go into outer space!)...

He Went Thataway

Greetings, programs. [throws blue frisbee, realizes loneliness]

Someone left the front door unlocked, and now I’ve snuck in to the offices of ProAudio Coaliton, which are much shinier and nicer than the offices of sync.sound.cinema.com, seeing as how they have actual offices rather than the back booth of a dive bar where I can poach free wifi.

sync.sound.cinema will be maintained, with a teaser and redirecting link for content. I urge all of you to click over early and often, as the good folks at P.A.C. have dangled the carrot of ad revenue sharing in front of me, and if there’s anything I like more than root vegetables on sticks, it’s being able to pay my rent.

It’s time to put my big-boy pants on. Seeing as how I make a point to not wear pants of any kind whilst writing, consider this a major step.

Toodles!

Total Hacks...In a Good Way

Matt over at recordinghacks.com alerted me to the fact that they have an in-depth mic database available to all. It's fully searchable by manufacturer and microphone type as well. The catalogue covers a wide selection, though it seems to be more music- or studio-oriented (as a handful of mics commonly used in production aren't represented). Still, if you're researching for that next gear purchase, it's certainly worth a stop.

I'm Back. And This Time, It's Personal (Not Really, But You Get The Idea)

Man, sure is dusty in here.

Let me explain...[thinks for a beat] No, there is too much. Let me sum up-

• Skylor Morgan over at Trew Audio has an early look at the recently announced Tascam HS-P82:
  
  

Overall, as the market continues to fill with non-linear recorders, the HS-P82 is a welcome, budget-friendly, quality addition to the fray. Tascam has added a great choice to the market.



• Sound Devices bowed the super-schmancy CL-9 controller for the 788T for more cart-based usage. (Be sure to check out this demo video from the fine folks over at Gotham Sound.)
  
  
• The Big Z created the Zaxcom Video University, a handful of how-to and quick-start clips for their gear.

There's more, so stay tuned, true believers. (Okay, agnostics welcome too....).

Dragnet! I Mean, Zaxnet!

Coffey Sound in LA will be having a demo from Robert Kennedy on Zaxcom's Zaxnet technology on Wednesday, August 5th.

Also, donuts!
