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

For some of us, November might be bringing the chill, but why not start a fire, put in the old earbuds, and warm up to a few podcasts from the audio community?

As powerful as our smartphones have become, there are still limits to what it can do. It isn’t exactly easy, for example, to use one for recording professional-sounding audio. Not easy but not impossible, especially when you have the right accessories for the job. IK Multimedia is renowned for its boxes and attachments that turn smartphones into portable or makeshift recording studios. And its latest iRig Mic Studio XLR brings that professionalism to audio recording, in a device that is not mu...

Monthly Theme: Sound for Interactivity

Active. Reactive. Interactive. Hyperactive? How do we approach making sounds for things that make sounds when things happen? What are the considerations and affordances necessary obscure the strings enough to make the sonic marionette believable and delightful? What really defines interactivity? This month, we’ll look at many lenses we use to view sound for interactive media, and highlight […]

Baptiste Chatel’s workstation in Rennes (France) This article is a guest post by Baptiste Chatel (Dijon, France) who “works virtually everywhere in Europe as musician and sound engineer” and “likes loud sounds, or sounds in low or high register”.

New Gear - Mix Factory Summing Amp

October 31, 2016, 08:05 AM

http://bobbyowsinskiblog.com/2016/10/31/mix-factor...

Mixers either swear by outboard analog summing amps or don’t see the need for them at all, but the ones that do are very passionate about them. We’re now into the second generation of summing amps, and the latest ones are incorporating a lot of features that the the first gen didn’t have. That’s one of the reasons why the new A-Designs Mix Factory is so cool; it has a lot of great features. But the other reason is more important – its concept was actually developed by a mixer.

Sunday Sound Thought 44 – Memory Triggers

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… It’s funny the way sounds can trigger memories. There’s a storm moving […]
