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

In this video James Ivey of Pro Tools Expert takes a look at the new e2 Deesser from Eiosis. The e2 was announced at winter NAMM 2016 and this is its debut review. James shows us around the GUI then using 2 vocal examples and a full drum kit session shows us how to get the best of the e2. Initially this is quite a simple plus-in but as James dives in you can hear that the user has a great deal over control over the way the plug-in shapes the sound.

Just about every video editor we've ever met wants to know more about audio. And just about everyone of them doesn't have the time to study audio repair and mixing as much as they would like.
