Some recent listener feedback


Hello Bruce.
Thank you for the pedagogical way of showing how to use the Adobe Audition 3 and making me so interested.
All the best
Kasper

Actually, Adobe and Lynda are the ones that should be thanking you.
I purchased both Audition and a subscription to Lynda based solely on what I'm hearing on your excellent programs.
And I hate the word podcasts.
It lumps you in with all the a**holes that think they are content producers because they have a microphone and an internet connection (and you are obviously a professional dedicated to his craft, and know how to produce content).
They just don't know what they don't know!

I'm a long time listener to your Building the Pod and Sine Language shows, and would like to thank you for producing such informative and interesting podcasts.
I'm a media production student at the University of Lincoln in the UK and your Audition guides really helped me during the radio production aspect of my course.
Paul Hennell

I've only recently decided to get back into music production after a prolonged absence.
So, when it came to choosing a DAW, it came down to a choice between FL Studio and Audition.
Dollar wise, quite similar although FL Studio does offer more in the way of virtual instruments for this price range.
But I chose Audition for two clear reasons.
1. I really like the look and feel. The layout is just easy on the eye and made sense to me very quickly.
2. I knew I had a great teacher. I discovered Building the Pod through the Adobe web site and soon found Sine Language.
I have to thank you sincerely for your weekly tuition.
It has turned a somewhat severe learning curve into managable bite size pieces.
I simply can't overstate how thankful I am of your weekly podcasts.
Bye for now.

Oh thank you god a podcast showing you how to properly make podcasts. Thank you Bruce Williams!

Tonight, there was a lunar eclipse. Where you were on the planet would have determined the view that you got.

This was the view from Down Under.

Sorry guys. I truly am.

This week, I had a cousin call me.I haven’t seen her in 6 years. She and her boyfriend are on a working/touring/holiday/jaunt around Australia. They’ve been on the road for almost 2 years now, and have just rocked into Sydney. They are staying with Cath and I for a few days, and that’s kind of thrown regular schedules out the window a bit… and I don’t mind that in the least. Sometimes, you just gotta put family first, and it’s been really cool to catch up with her (and to meet her boyfriend, too).

I will do everything humanly possible to get a show out next week.

Listener assignment

Filed under: Shutters Inc — Bruce Williams @ 7:28

There seems to be a bit of confusion on where to send the listener assignment photos (natural light window portraits).
So, for the record, just send them to studio@audio2u.com
And that will be the rule for any future listener assignments, too.
Sorry guys and gal. Should have mentioned that on the podcast!
Cheers,

Bruce.

Thanks to Peter Vautier for his help with categorising old BTP episodes.
However, more help is still needed if anyone has the time.
Congratulations to the winners of the btp100 giveaway. But there is still one more prize up for grabs!
