To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Michael Coleman is back with another SoundWorks Collection video, and this time it’s the sound team from Wally Pfister’s directorial debut Transcendence. The sound team talks a lot about the dynamic range in their audio mix, where they utilize very quiet sounds all the way up to very loud sounds in order to maximize the effectiveness of both. Check out the video below and learn why silence at the right moments can actually improve your sound mix.

Website Policy

Designing Sound is a run by a team of volunteers. The site does not have any commercial motives which is why there is no advertising, paid content or any sort of commercial promotional activities. The line can get blurry and it is important for us to follow a policy guideline. The website wouldn’t be what it is without the amazing community and all the great contributions we receive. This makes it all the more important for us to maintain standards and carefully curate the content that is publ...

Using Guitar Pedals With DAW

The stomp box market is booming. There are so many weird and wonderful effects about now that are just as interesting as any plug-in. Players have been using pedals on synths and keyboards for years and many top producers use pedals for shaping sounds when recording and mixing so why not have a go yourself!

Mix Window Essentials - Pro Tools

April 3, 2014, 07:50 AM

http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2014/4/3...

After writing Pro Tools Session Navigation In Five Shortcuts I wondered whether there could be an equivalent list written for the Mix window. In short I decided not. Basic operation of the mix window is largely intuitive but I still think there are a few valuable timesavers worthy of a mention. Some of these are very well known but still worth listing for the benefit of the less experienced user. Others are less well known.

Creating a 3D Mix with 2 Speakers

March 30, 2014, 03:57 PM

We often think that more than two speakers or monitors are required in order to create a 3-dimensional music mix. In fact, you can do so with a humble two-speaker system. Paul Wickliffe explains how.

Review DDMF 6144 Eq - Pro Tools Expert

March 17, 2014, 12:40 PM

http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2014/3/1...

Is it possible to get the sound of a Neve Portico 5033, which in hardware form costs around $1725 in a plug-in costing $39? We got an email from a community member suggesting we check out the DDMF 6144 Eq, which is indeed a model of a Neve Portico 5033 for $39.
