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

That’s the case with Catch This Music Recording Studio (CTM), which revived a Music Row space while retaining something special. Once the home of Bayou Recording, the studio’s reopening in 2011 as CTM made sure there was a familiar board ensconced in Studio A: The Trident 80B that came with the place.

I’ve previously talked about the importance of increasing communication between the sound community and our collaborators. This month’s topic provided the perfect opportunity to bring an outside voice to the Designing Sound community. Patrick Shen is director of the documentary “In Pursuit of Silence,” and I’m happy to be able to bring you his thoughts on the subject!

Ducking with Waves C6 Today, I’m going to discuss how to use a ducker in any post production audio mix and specifically ducking music with dialog using Waves C6 Multi-Band Compressor with a side-chain. I use duckers in virtually every mix, with a slight variation on how much gain reduction I allow them depending on […]

One of the television shows I’ve really enjoyed recently has been Penny Dreadful, a critically-acclaimed horror series from Showtime. It stars Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton and Eva Green, draws nearly 5 million viewers across all platforms every week – and the sound is brilliant.

Silence can be sonic; sound can be silent. We’re always listening to both. When we listen to a sound, we listen to a silence. When we listen to silence, we listen to sound. The dualism behind this is just an illusion, because in reality, we only find one thing, a single coin, with two faces, but a single coin.

Despite the naysayers, sales of turntables are rising right along side of the vinyl record boom. Where 5 years ago you had to really search to find one to buy (especially if you were on a budget), today you can find one even in your local Urban Outfitters. Here are 5 good reasons to own a turntable and playing vinyl records.

It is very difficult to keep up with all the new independent sound library releases, which is why we regularly put together roundup posts. Unfortunately it is difficult for even us to keep track of them all! We are all volunteers doing this in between work after all.
