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

The acoustic literature is full of half truths, mostly perpetuated by acoustic product manufactures in order to make their products sound appealing. Products that perform but not at the rates and levels required in today's small rooms. Do not be blind sided by convention and routine. Step back, take a deep breath and do your own thinking.

When a matched pair of microphones are used to record a stereo image, the mics may be placed parallel to each other some distance apart. When this is done using two omnidirectional mics it's known as an A-B pattern. However, this approach is often not the best practice.

Acoustic Fields: Bigger Is Not Better

Rooms are boxes of pressure. They can hold only so much low frequency energy due to their size and volume. The goal is for the correct amount of energy to fill the room while at the same time using the correct transducer size to accomplish this. You must match the size of the low frequency drivers used to the room size and volume so you can hear more sound and less room.
