Building the pod – episode 149

Wow!
2 episodes in 2 consecutive weeks!
This week, we catch up on a couple of listener e-mails:
Ken had another tip for getting the best out of the Adaptive Noise Reduction plugin,
Steve asked about headphones,
(I’d suggest checking out both GoodCans and Headphone Reviews),
and Jim chimed in with some extra uses for the Channel Mixer (like mid-side decode/encode).
If you’re new to the Mid-Side technique, read up on it at wikipedia.

Then it’s on to exploring some funky doppler effects.

One bag, sans cat

Filed under: Adobe Audition,Building the Pod,Software — Bruce Williams @ 9:54

Today, Adobe announced officially that the next version of Audition will run on both the Windows and Mac operating systems.
This is great news for the Mac community who have been screaming out for years for the ability to use Audition on their OS.
On top of this announcement comes news that late 2010, there will be a public beta.
If you’d like to be a part of that, sign up here.
There’s lots more I’d love to tell you, but the word from Adobe is, “if it’s on the Labs page, you can talk about it. If it’s not, then you can’t”.
So, guess you’ll just have to keep an ear right here!

No podcasts this week

Filed under: Building the Pod,Shutters Inc,Sine Language — Bruce Williams @ 16:03

And what a rip-snorter of a start to the year!
One week in, and already, I’m letting you down.
Sorry gang.
Shelton and I had plans to record, but something came up at his end.
And I did plan on recording a BTP, but hit a bit of a brick wall.
Grrr.

Tumbleweeds and crickets

Filed under: Building the Pod,Shutters Inc,Sine Language — Bruce Williams @ 9:05

Hi one and all.
So, you’ve probably noticed that things have gone a little quiet round these parts, of late.
Has Bruce lost the momentum for podcasting?
Yeah, a little.
Is it all over?
Hell, no.
BTP and SL listeners, I will say this. I am unlikely to get another episode of either of these podcasts out until the new year.
My holidays commence 4 weeks from today, but in that period, I have sooo much on my plate, it’s not funny.
Notice I said “unlikely”. That doesn’t mean I “definitely won’t”. There is always the slight chance that I WILL find some time somewhere to get one of my audio-related podcasts recorded. But for now, assume that there won’t be one ’til early 2010, and if I do get one out before I leave on December 16th, well, it’ll just be an early Christmas present, won’t it?
As for Shutters Inc, I am looking forward to Shelton’s return just as much as the rest of you.
If you’re following him on Facebook, or his blog, then you’ll have already seen some of the awesome images he has been taking whilst there.
However, if I know Shelton, his first week back is going to be manic for him, and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he doesn’t have time to record straight away.
But I do anticipate a new ep being out within the next couple of weeks.
So, that’s the state of play for now.
If I don’t speak with you again before Christmas, have a merry one (if that’s your thing).
I wish you all the very best for the new year, and thank all of you for your support over the last 12 months.
Oh, and SI listeners, no, I haven’t forgotten about the Honl giveaway!
Just waiting on the product to arrive!
Don’t want to get stung by giving away something we don’t have!
Long term listeners will remember the Gorillapod debacle of a couple of years ago.
We don’t want a repeat of THAT, now do we? :)
