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

Assure ALL Your Audio is Legal

The note "Disputed thir party matehced content will be the first sign" that YouTube considers you audio to be used without permission When starting in videography with a DSLR, the main problem a newcomer has is with sound. DSLR's excel at image but are absolute crap when it comes to sound, either monaural or stereo. So, the first option for someone starting on this path is to skip the sound recording at the source and think of some background music or sounds to add to the video afterw...

Designing Sound - New Theme

We have a new theme up! As many of our readers know; the old theme has been troublesome for quiet some time. And we got fed up with it’s unreliability and lack of support. We do apologize for any inconvenience incurred by that awful collection of CSS and tears.

Double Meaning

It's been an interesting week for the animation community. Certainly interesting enough to give this Forbes piece from two days ago a deeper (and parallel) meaning.

Logic Pro From A to Z - B is for Bouncing

July 14, 2014, 04:36 AM

Being a creative Logic Pro user involves using standard features creatively. Take the “bounce” function for example. We all know how to use it to render our arrangements down to a final stereo pair. But there are lots of other ways of taking advantage of Logic Pro’s numerous bounce functions.

There we were in The Thirsty Bear, reflecting on the first lot of GDC Audio Sessions, and up walks Mr. Menhorn. He knew what he wanted from us; so after introductions, a few more IPAs and some passionate discussion it was in the bag.

Field Recorder Review

July 8, 2014, 09:30 AM

Video professionals often ask me what field recorder is the best for their video production. Unfortunately, there isn’t just one recorder that fits every production workflow. Here is a review of three field recorders that I have used often: the nanoFlash by Convergent Design, the Pix240 by Sound Devices, and the Ninja Blade by Atomos. Read More

Jaws and the sound of dread and wonder

July 8, 2014, 04:38 AM

http://thedissolve.com/features/movie-of-the-week/...

One of my college film professors used to begin each quarter’s class with a demonstration: He’d play the opening scene from Jaws, and the opening scene from Ordinary People, but with the soundtracks reversed. Set to John Williams’ Jaws score, Ordinary People’s scene-setting shots of upper-middle-class suburbia came off as ominous, rather than lyrical and elegiac. And set to Pachelbel’s Canon, Jaws’ scene of Chrissie Watkins getting eaten alive by a shark looked like water ballet.

Game audio: Highlighting the horror sounds of OUTL

Jonathan Wachoru worked as lead sound designer on the sound for OUTLAST, a survival-horror game by Red Barrels – and below, he takes you through the creepy (and sometimes downright nasty) sound elements and assets that make up the game’s effective soundscape. Note that the video is a bit graphic – you’ve been warned :)

Tom Ashbrook speaks with Megan Garber, staff writer at The Atlantic, about how the digital tools we have available are being used to sculpt, engineer and transform many of the sounds that surround us – and how it’s changing our fundamental relationship with sound...
