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

Tragic news to report about one of our favorite composers. On the morning of Monday, June 22nd, a single-engine S-312 Tucano MK-1 airplane piloted by composer James Horner crashed in California. Horner was the only one on board and perished in the accident.

Last week we did the final sound mix for ‘Be Heard’ at a top facility in central London, inside a state of the art dubbing theatre. I have been present at the mix of many films now, features and shorts, and there are certain patterns and things you can do to get the most from a freebie or an over stretched budget.

Recently, I proposed the topic of how to do the audio setup for a live TV show to our friends at NewTek. It really doesn’t matter whether you are recording Live-to-drive (previously called Live-to-tape), live to over the air or cable, or live on the Internet. In part 1, I cover the acoustic environment, microphones, and IFBs. In part 2, I cover On Air lights, audio mixers, the power of automatic muting, audio monitors, and snake cables. In part 3, I cover several ways of taking live tel...

Alex Hilton from Germany has released A1Triggergate, a sequenced gate plugin that’s nice for chopping up your audio. There are many sequenced and rhythmic gates out there, but nothing really satisfied Alex. So he coded his own plugin. Alex is a good lad.
