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

ModMic 5 and RØDE HS2: comparing two head microph

June 1, 2017, 12:38 PM

https://www.provideocoalition.com/modmic-5-and-rde...

For many years, I have been intrigued with microphones, and one particular type is the head mounted variety. Few head mounted mics I have tested before today sound great without post equalization. Today, I am going to compare two which share as many similarities as differences, from their respective prices, connections, polar patterns, and ways of mounting onto your head. They are the ModMic 5 and RØDE HS2. Ahead, I’ll describe them and you’ll be able to hear my test recordings, with a refe...

Sound Devices MixPre-3 first impressions

When the Sound Devices MixPre-3 announcement dropped at NAB 2017, I got excited. For years I’ve been dreaming about a device as small as my original MixPre, but with built-in recorders. Could this be it? I hit the pre-order button but didn’t expect to actually hold one in my hands until summer, despite Sound Devices promising delivery before the end of the month. So when this box from B&H arrived with a couple of days to spare, I was thrilled...

Sunday Sound Thought 74 – The Evolving Lexicon

May 28, 2017, 06:42 AM

I’ve actually spent some time this month thinking about terminology and lingo since it was the monthly theme. And in that odd phenomenon that is synchronicity, it seemed to follow me around. When I was thinking about terminology and lingo I was drawn to the unique language we have as sound professionals and the barriers […]

THX innovator named in new Apple audio patent

May 22, 2017, 02:29 PM

http://alex4d.com/notes/item/thx-innovator-named-i...

It is curious that iMovie for the Mac offers an auto-audio ducking feature, but Final Cut Pro X doesn't. Curious because the free iMovie and the $299 Final Cut Pro X share a great deal of code and resources. Audio ducking reduces the volume or dynamic range of other channels to make one channel’s sound easier to hear. Tom Holman is a veteran movie sound expert. Lucasfilm's THX cinema sound certification system is named after him. Since 2011 he has worked for Apple. Last week Apple was ...
