While I agree that this vacation is at a mighty inconvenient time, please refrain from saying that the government orders shutting the institute down are rubbish. While we still have about two people dying in Pune everyday, I do not think that this is a matter to be taken lightly. The other day I was...

Just read the review of the H4n in Recording magazine(YESSS... for some strange reason the issues have started comin in again).. they have given it the thumbs up as an ambience recorder... Will try to get the review and post it here...

And if you really need a traditional dictaphone.... Nipa has one that works great. She just bought one of the go-gear's to replace it!! Both of them do a great job...

Oh ya... actually had been following the stuff about how the album sounds better on Guitar Hero as there are unmixed stems in the game!!

Well the world has advanced quite a bit since the last post. Now is the time of flash based recorders doing the rounds. Sony has one that is really great... The PCM D-50 which costs around 30k. I have used it a bit and it sounds pretty damn decent on ambiances. 370x251.jpg Another one on which i hav...

Check this out guys... http://www.dynamicrange.de/ Atleast someone is doing something about this.... For people not cued in to the loudness wars, heres the dope.... for the past couple of decades, since the cd was released, the average volume recorded on the cd has been going up. Mixing and masterin...

This gets more confusing and irritating than ever... as a student who is about to pass out, i will have to now somehow 36k just to get the association card so that any shoot that i am in does not get disrupted. But for some crazy unexplained reason, i will only get an assistants card!!!? After spend...

With great respect to the great geek up there, Im about to build the latest and greatest workstation... for, ahem, audio work ofcourse!! Mr. Admin only thought it right that i do tell all about the config so here goes. This one is going to be my main audio workstation for the next 2 years or so. Ive...

well i for one really enjoy the recent outburst in HD films... it gives me access to films that i have not seen before with a picture that is beautiful to look at... most of these films, i can never get to see on print, so why not on a very good second best?... And i do believe on a good projection ...

well actually im someone whos been caught in the middle of the digital/film divide... As an acquisition medium, there is no equal to film in terms of resolution, contrast, colour gamut, etc. But again the convinience of digital gives it the lead in the post process. Again, taking a parallel from sou...

well mandar, i beg to differ... dont think we shoud get emotional about this any more... digital is fast cathing up and will exceed the capabilities of film in a few years time. We are already at a stage where major films are being shot digitally and believe me.. it can get pretty damn good. It happ...

Just discovered the joy of watching films HD courtesy good ol bit torrent, oh ya and demonoid. These guys have posted blu-ray rips of a lot of films on the site. The files, while compressed from the original, bury dvd and stamp like hell on the grave. I personally now find dvd terrible after watchin...
