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.

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.

Sorry gang.
But hey, you’re getting used to this now, right?

The state of play…

The short story.

No podcasts at all this week.

The long story.

I had an Adobe e-Seminar to conduct on Friday, so imagine my absolute horror on Tuesday night to realise that a piece of software I had installed had brought with it some malware which blocked me from logging in to Windows!
Aaarrrrgggghhhh!
Couldn’t even log in as Administrator!
Totally hosed my system.
Oh joy.
Of all the weeks for this to happen.
So, a couple of late nights ensued while I tried to get into Windows, because I knew that I needed to be able to de-activate my copy of Audition before I could reformat the machine.
To reformat without deactivating the software would mean losing my license, and obviously, that was not a viable outcome.
So, Thursday night, I finally made some headway with it, and got my system back on line.
Then, Friday morning, I found I couldn’t log into to the Adobe Connect server (the software/interface that we use to conduct the e-Seminars).
By this stage, I was starting to believe that the Gods did not want me conducting this e-Seminar!
Finally got it all sorted with about 30 minutes to spare!
Nothing like taking it right down to the wire!
:)

So, as a result of all that “fun”, podcasts were relegated to the back burner for the week.
My apologies.
Let’s hope this week coming is a little less stressful!

Plus a nice little trick to employ with ANR towards the end!

plus a request… where am I up to?

No BTP

Filed under: Building the Pod — Bruce Williams @ 20:28

Hi gang.
I know I said I would try and get BTP done this week, but as you’ll hear in this week’s Sine Language, I got a bit carried away with my new toy.
I would like to promise that next week there’ll be an episode of BTP, but I don’t like making promises if there’s a chance of me not being able to keep it… so I’ll just say again what I said this time last week.
I will do my best to make sure I get an episode done this week.
Thanks for your patience!
