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

The sonic endeavor of Universal's Get on Up was to transport the audience to a live James Brown concert. Maintaining authenticity in every way possible was the goal of director Tate Taylor and his crew, including sound mixer Steven Morrow. Using original James Brown recordings and re-created live performances lensed by Stephen Goldblatt, transporting the movie theater audience to concert venue became possible. Said Morrow, "The director and studio were always really interested in making su...

How do you cross-fade just the audio portion of an edit point? That's the question we tackle on this week's episode of MacBreak Studio. I start by showing Steve Martin from Ripple Training a simple storyline of clips, where I want to audio...

After 18 Grammy’s for Best Engineering (more than any other engineer) and work on over 150 gold and platinum records, Al Schmitt needs no introduction to anyone even remotely familiar with the recording industry.

It’s that time of year, when Hollywood honors the year’s finest contributions in film production and post-production. For Mix, that means the best in film sound editing and mixing. Who will take home the statues from the 2015 CAS Awards, MPSE Golden Reels and Academy Awards?

I have covered the Audio Technica AT2005USB hybrid microphone (analog XLR + digital USB) in past articles and ebooks, and it has been my chosen studio microphone for my recent podcasts. On the other hand, I recently reviewed the Plantronics .Audio 326 headset microphone with outstanding results. Now, even though it might be considered unfair, I am doing a direct shootout. Ahead are my justifications and test results, including simultaneous recordings through each mic.

As noted in my GH4 review earlier this year, first-run GH4s suffered from an “audio buzz” problem, most noticeable with a third-party mike plugged in. This problem affected early shipments of the camera running version 1.0 firmware; later shipments with firmware version 1.1 or later pre-installed have been factory-updated to fix the problem. Panasonic offers an in-warranty fix for first-run GH4s; you send the camera body with its body cap, and nothing else – no SD card, no battery – to P...

There's been a lot of commentary about Sony's hacked data. It's crappy that personal information and Social Security Numbers of thousands of employees got released; on the other hand it's enlightening for showing how studios/conglomerates really operate.

The Logic Pro X Scripter Plugin seems to have been a little bit overlooked. Unlike the other new MIDI FX plugins, it does not have a shiny and polished GUI. Having a look at its inside world – the script editor – probably makes most users feel that to start programming scripts with Scripter will be a daunting task, and stop them from digging deeper. But even if you have no idea about programming, you can do some basic things with Scripter quite easily.
