October 24 - Comment - Like - Share

The adaptive limiter is a way to do it yes, and also using the compressor with gain control - will show in class also. Bottom line is learning how to control the audio dynamics (loudness/ softness) as well as EQ (frequencies, which we'll talk about later) is really important in any media production that uses sound. - Dean Terry

Need technical advice. As I've been testing the new audio gear I'm finding a sync issue. It shouldn't be related to the recorded audio bit rate, but it seems to be. Recording 24 bit audio doesn't sync w/vid, but 16 bit does. Unless you tell me otherwise I'm opting for less sampling and better sync. It sounds good at 16, so that's where I'm leaning.

October 9 - Comment - Like - Share

By the way, this is for the Tom Riccio interview Monday. I was just thinking, maybe sync drift isn't the big worry as he won't be up on screen for too long. Better quality audio a priority? - Patrick Dowling

for voice 16 vs 24 doesn't make that much difference as long as you have good levels going in. You are going to compress the voice later anyway. Bit depth = dynamic range (soft to loud) and also signal (voice) to noise (background) range. - Dean Terry

Thanks! The shoot's been postponed (bad weather again today) until Friday. Should be nice out. - Patrick Dowling

sorry for delay - make sure phantom power is turned on on the back. The mics require power and "phantom power" sends power form the recorder through the mic cable to the mic. - Dean Terry

I watch almost all movies via Netflix streaming via TiVo to plasma, with a few from amazon. Once HBO, Showtime, ESPN, etc allow buying programs à la carte via on demand I'll have no reason to pay for cable or satellite. As the second article states, they better be paying attention. The net is the uber wave that has the power to flatten or increase the intensity of all other waves. So surf! - Dean Terry

"And our cognitive abilities actually go backwards when we're watching television or doing stuff on computers." Is this book author, Walter Mosley, a little biased? - John F Kay

Looks like publishers are once again trying to make things more 21st century for the reader/viewer. First it was ebooks, now this. What's next? - Jaime Fowler

This makes me wonder how "traditional" teaching style will change if this sort of thing becomes mainstream. Why would one go to class for a teacher who lectures for fifteen minutes, then says "see this example", when you can get the same thing anywhere, anytime from a "vook"? I see the structure of the learning environment would necessarily shift to a more collaborative/discussion style. Thoughts? - Lacy Mahone

@Lacy you are right on. That's what Dave & I are thinking as we develop EMAC in real time. F2F collaboration is critical and something a classroom, if reconfigured physically and in terms of process, can facilitate nicely. The new building is all about that. - Dean Terry

I've always thought that cable TV should be user-based pricing, allowing the user to pay only for the channels they want to watch (i think some people would even pay a little extra for that, like me...) but I hadn't thought of that same idea for the internet, so that's an interesting thought. I don't know how well it would work in the current business models, but maybe that just means there needs to be new models? - Chelsea Conway

As far as a tiered plan though, it brings about the question of what data are you getting? What data are you able to access and because of it can you get all of the information? It's more of a question of censorship in a sense than anything else. - Adam L.

let's all take a look at this and talk about it briefly next class (10/6) - any other topics? - Dean Terry

Okay, I need to vent. Is it just me or does Time Warner Cable blow big chunks? Uploading video with their wireless router is a joke.

Hey Dean, what Internet speed do you have with ATT Uverse? I'm leaning towards their TV/Internet/Phone package, but wanted to make sure I get access to enough of their bandwidth. Should I get their max internet (18down/1.5up) or would splitting the difference be okay(6down/1up)? Thanks. - Patrick Dowling

Patrick, we just moved to DFW. We had to get TWC in order to get phone service. We've had 5 service calls in a month. Our bill has been $230 a month. The cable box/DVR makes all kind of noise and throws off much heat. You have to make sure that the modem has different frequencies for the wireless internet and wireless phones or else the internet does not work when you are on the phone.... more... - John F Kay

Thanks for the support John. I didn't mention that the box emits joyous "white noise". It's not exactly a gentle brook - it's friggin' annoying! If any of you own stock in Time Warner sell it today. That company is going to be bankrupt in less than 2 years! - Patrick Dowling
