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

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… As I wrap up this live action VR/360 short I’ve been working […]

It's a common task and so easy to complete inside Adobe Audition. When you use the Open Append option you'll create one long audio file with markers to indicate start and end times. You can then use the Diagnostics window to delete silences and you have a well edited long MP3 file from multiple audio files.

You've seen auto-tune in action inside Adobe Audition. There's a free VST plugin for Audacity. When you need a pro solution Celemony Melodyne Studio is it. The auto-tuning capabilities of this software are stunning. You can export your audio to .WAV or .MP3 and import from Melodyne into Adobe Audition.

Sometimes you need a sound effect or piece of music to reverb out. It could be a scream in a horror trailer, or something else that reverbs out over a cut to black. More commonly I use it when I want a piece of music I’m editing to end on a specific note to create a stop down moment in a trailer. Mostly it just gives me more options for editing music for trailers

Nevin is a Sound Designer […]

https://www.aotg.com/izotope-vocalsynth-plugin-review-and-tutorial/
iZotope VocalSynth is a plugin that acts as a vocoder, talkbox, computer vocal effect box and can shift voices up and down octaves. That's just the start - you can distort, EQ, transform, echo or completely shred vocals. This works great on sung vocals and also, as you'll hear in this review and tutorial, is fantastic for adding new dimensions to voice overs in radio imaging. Use this vocal synth VST on voices to spice up your radio jingles.

For David Fincher’s drama, The Social Network, Nine Inch Nails front man Trent Reznor and composer Atticus Ross teamed up to deliver their first collaboration on a feature film score. Since then, they’ve reteamed with the filmmaker for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Gone Girl, always delivering spectacular award worthy scores. But their next feature film collaboration will see them working with a different director this time.
