I personally have never succumbed to the terror and warm presence that this theoretical experience could potentially bring.  It’s an interesting theory however I have never actually heard of anyone losing control.  I’ve only felt somewhat nauseous and received headaches from prolonged experiences.

Tim Prebble has a nice write up on a majority of the audio file management software out there and how they handle metedata.  Check out all his hard work over at his blog.

Yes, that’s right.  His home recording studio called, Nutmeg is a 1930s lifeboat that is powered solely on solar panels and wind.  It’s quite the crazy setup.  Check it out after the jump.

Here are a collection of motifs and sounds that popular corporations use to market themselves. It’s a well put together video showcasing a lot of examples that tend to lean towards the musical side of things instead of straight up sound effects.

Rabbit Ears Audio, the new SFX distributor founded by Michael Raphael has entered the ring of independent recordists releasing their recordings for sale.  Michael has chosen rockets for his first library which can be purchased now from Rabbit Ears Audio’s website:  http://rabbitearsaudio.com/

Michael Raphael likes to record things.  He also thinks baby ostriches are darling.  Put those two things together and you get a happy baby bird that will sing to you.  Or at least to Michael.  Hit the jump to listen to the recording.

Through the jump is a pretty entertaining video.  It showcases what a production mixer/recordist experiences when trying to capture the sound of a room when talent is present.  I don’t have any experience in production audio but I would guess it might be easier to capture this source before or after the day starts.

“You’re gonna kill people if you give directions like that.”  Hahaha…love it.  Check out TomTom’s follow up from their last Star Wars release with this promo video for the Yoda voiceover on their GPS navigation systems.  Is it sad I only want to buy one of these to hear these voices?  Help me.

“Yoel Fink, an assistant professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his colleagues developed fibers that are active where most are passive. Specifically, through a new application of widely used technology called piezoelectrics, fibers can convert sound waves into an electrical signal and vice versa, MIT announced Monday.”

I know it’s been a while since the last post but hey, cut me some slack, I was visiting family in Michigan over Independence Day.  Anyways, check this out!  Could this possibly be scientific evidence of a poltergeist knocking!?
