Great wrap-up David, as usual. I hadn’t been to a meeting in many months and it was great to see how many new people come every month, and how many regulars return. Today’s meeting had to be in the top five for laughs. :) It was great to see old friends and meet so many new ones. Lots of good connections got made and I was particularly pleased to see how many people got word of something important to them through the discussion (including me!!).
By the way, the upcoming.org page for SocialMediaBBQ is here.

Comment on Comcast does not want public voices heard by Alice Lee

Alice Lee — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 20:43:52 +0000

Comcast takes the same approach to public debate that it has to Internet access: that it can wield substantial political and market power to shut out debate and shut up people. For too long, communications policymaking has been rigged against us. We need to send a wakeup call to phone and cable giants and their powerful lobbyists that they will no longer set the agenda. Check out this new video we just released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYGtNmmb2y0

The purpose of the Internet is to give power over information to everyone. The role of our elected leaders is to protect our basic right to communicate from those who want to take it away from us. Whether it’s on the Internet or at public hearings we must stand up for everyone’s right to connect.

Christopher, I think the best introduction to editing with Final Cut Pro (as far as books go) is Editing Techniques with Final Cut Pro by Michael Wohl. What I like about this book is not only does it introduce you to editing with Final Cut, but along the way it covers basic editing craft. For just knowing how to drive Final Cut is not enough. Michael Wohl presents the basic concepts and techniques that will help make your editing more successful.

Quick newbie question - what books or resources would you recommend for someone who wants to graduate from iMovie 06/08 to Final Cut Pro? I’d like to learn how to use FCP to make/edit music videos, specifically!

Thanks!

Comment on Mac Coolant Leak (video) by Studio Underground

Studio Underground — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 07:04:42 +0000

Well I use or USED mine to produce music, good thing I wasn’t in the middle of a track, that would have made me mad. Mine isn’t leaking but it will after I smash it on the ground. I get the typical press the power button and fans come on but nothing happens. Before this it was acting up but not coming on right away, you would have to turn it off, then back on a few times. The light on the studio display and case came on at one time, until I reset the PMU now all you hear are fans. It’s a shame I had to put logic on a G3 mac I had laying around. pretty sad it lasted longer than a 3 year old 3,000 computer.

The most exciting features of the Apogee Duet weren’t mentioned.
The biggest thing about it honestly is that it’s a high quality, portable and bus-powered firewire interface from Apogee. There are plenty of 2-channel interfaces out there, but Apogee’s sonic quality is generally very high which makes this a stellar deal.
The Maestro software is ported from their development on the Apogee Ensemble, which is the big brother to this interface, which features 8i/o, plus preamps.
The integration with Apple’s Logic is what really makes this exciting, although it works just fine with other products as well. Apogee has had high quality interfaces for years, and they really support them well. The portability and bus-powered nature of this one really makes it a winner (even moreso considering that it has two channels of phantom power for condenser mics).

It was good to see you there!

Thanks David for the very comprehensive writeup and all your microphone recommendations! I’m going to look into those this week, and maybe we can talk more about them when we get together to look at the Duet.

For those of you who couldn’t attend the meeting but want to hear the audio, I’ve posted it on my blog. http://nateaune.com/2008/01/07/boston-media-makers-podcast/

For those with podcasts they want to edit and control the file sizes, I got the fix, In the meeting, Adam pointed me well. I played with both WavePad and Audacity to find good settings.

I had started with BlogTalkRadio MP3 file, at about 14MB per hour. Edited in Audacity or WavePad, 7 to 13 minute segments bloated to 12MB or more each. I want smaller for disk space and for our few dial-up listeners.

Adam suggested playing with settings, making sure the file was mono, and cutting down the bit rate. Combinations ended up working. I have a 12-minute segment that went from13MB to 3MB. For speech, the quality is fine.

In WavePad, the procedure is pretty simple. In File->WavePad Options, choose the radio button for When creating a new file: Prompt for Sample Rate and Channels. Also, for an existing file, File->Save As opens a dialog with Format and Attribute pull-downs.

Audacity make it a bit harder. You have to open or create a file and go to a couple of tabs in the File->Preferences dialog. There are a series of pull-downs in Quality and File Formats that do the trick. I played with several to find my optimum.

Because I have so many old podcasts to edit, I’ll cough up for the paid versions of WavePad and its utilities. There’s lots of conversion capability in the “Master” version and two add-ons.

Thanks, Adam.
