Me, lecturing: "What's the best LDC microphone ever made by Neumann?"
Students, in unison: "SIX-SEVEN!"
Me, proudly: "Very good, class. I'm glad you've kept up on your reading. Indeed, the Neumann u67 is the finest LDC they made."

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Celebrate the aural qualities we inherited from analogue gear that preceded digital plug-ins as I follow bread crumbs for the twelve emulations in the Cenozoix Compressor manual. Which ones? How do they sound?

“It’s hard to work for people who you feel are fundamentally immoral.”
I think a lot about Sarah Inama, the middle school teacher in Idaho who resigned rather than take down a "Everyone is welcome here" poster. With no platform or resources to protect herself, she showed more resolve and courage than most big law firms, media corporations, and Fortune 500 companies.

How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind

Regular readers will know that one area of post-production Paul Maunder has
covered quite a lot is that of audio noise reduction and restoration. It’s
a competitive market, but when considering what he might choose as his
product of 2025, it didn’t take him very long to make a decision…

Dr. King did amazing things, but often we only talk about his successes. Dr. King also had some "failures", and they are important to discuss because we often learn a great deal from failure. And failure can inform or grow a movement, like Albany, Georgia's failure did for Dr. King. /1
