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

Broken

Now that yesterday’s global silliness is behind us, it’s time to announce April’s theme: “broken”. What can I say?! We like the open ended topics that provide ample opportunity for interpretation. As sound designers, we rely on manipulation…pushing materials beyond their limits to see what interesting sounds they create under stress, or at that threshold where they go beyond stressed into broken.

3 Quick Tips for Exquisite Mixing in the Box

For instance I’m in the “B” control room at Downtown right now, and my client (Black Thought from The Roots) just saw me hammering away on my laptop and asked, “Zach what the f**k are you writing man”?. This was followed by a confused look, and the inevitable question: “A blog?” Besides a “blog writer”, I’ve also been stamped some sort of Pro Tools authority. Crazy I know.

The art of field recording has been around for ages, but now, Halfdan Auðrifýur and Ingi Hjálmtýr – two Icelandic sound designers – are looking to fundamentally change how sound effects are created.

Adding Your Voice to the Mix

March 28, 2014, 12:50 PM

http://designingsound.org/2014/03/adding-your-voic...

At night in the darkness, I often hear voices in my head. Though it’s strange to admit, as I drift off to sleep after a long day of cutting dialogue or mixing the latest program, indistinct voices emerge and converse in the surround field of my theta wave brain. The wash of leftover phonemes from the work day somehow eases me to sleep, a bizarre lullaby panning through my mind.
