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

If you’ve been playing along at home, we’ve talked a lot about keeping the flow and having successful sessions. Well there are many paths to the summit my friends. Sometimes the path is blocked and going around is more prudent than lobbing dynamite at the boulder across your path.

Hans Zimmer’s two late-2013 films couldn’t possibly be more different: “Rush,” a driving, in-your-face rock score for a competing pair of 1970s Formula One race car drivers, and “12 Years a Slave,” a quiet, melancholy string accompaniment for the tale of an educated, free African-American forced to endure the brutality of slavery in the antebellum South.

10 Ridiculously Overused SFX

Hollywood movies are large, expensive productions, and so in order to cut costs, sound editors will often lift pre-existing sound effects from a large library rather than go out into the field and record some new ones themselves.

Working With Prosumer Audio Recorders

There was a posting on several of the leading user forums (as seen here) from someone who needed to import WAV files recorded from a Roland Edirol R4. These devices are great for music type recordings, but are lacking when it comes to double system production and postproduction needs. Inspired by the question and the challenge, the following PDF describes the steps to get from this...

With Pro Tools 11, we now have the ability to bounce and bring back in in one movement, an audio stem. This bounce feature can be useful in many ways, but one way I discovered this evening is a quick tool for cleaning up the noise floor in ttracks.
