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

Musicians love to improvise. We often record our tracks in improvised recording situations. Its just the nature of our laptop-based, home/office and on-location lives! However, this style of recording is where all sorts of audio gremlins can sneak their way into our productions. Thats cool, but sometimes we need a little help once the tracks have been laid down to get those gremlins out!

Omnidirectiononal dynamic microphones with balanced XLR connections remain the first choice for most ENG (electronic news gathering) organizations to connect to broadcast cameras or professional audio recorders. I decided to test the RØDE Reporter (which fits that description perfectly) with the extremely popular Electro-Voice RE50N/DB. Ahead I’ll describe the technical and physical differences, and I’ll let your ears analyze the acoustic ones, thanks to video recordings on an a Panason...
