The Death of a Great American Newspaper I began reading The Washington Post in the summer of 1982 when I moved to Washington, D.C., to attend law school. Ben Bradlee was then Exec...

🗃️I fell in love with The Washington Post in 1982. For half a century, it was among the best all-around papers in the country. Jeff Bezos has destroyed a great American institution just when we most need good journalism to hold the powerful to account.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

That said, Christian and his team (and the global community of “developers”) are incredibly responsive, welcoming and and professional. It’s a great platform, IMHO. I typically dig in and do more “discovery” when I have a bit of downtime. The existing resources are excellent and widely varied!

KMac routinely kills it…it’s just her natural disposition and skillset. Love this exposure. Kudos to Cineplex for continuing this series on spotlighting those of us behind behind behind picture and the camera.

Got to sit down and spend some time in front of the cameras (eep!) with Cineplex Theaters yesterday to chat about the role of a sound editor/designer for their pre-show series on different film crafts. I wonder which weird anecdotes of mine will make it to the big screen... stay tuned!

Also: The first two weeks of principal had to be reshot as they recast Marty McFly!

Just finished watching the film at an MPSE event in Toronto with Scott in attendance…still a great looking and sounding film that engaged the audience entirely. Thanks to the MPSE and Vaughan International Film Festival for a great evening.

MPSE in Toronto! Finally!

‘House of the Dragon’ Sound Designer Used Seals, Pigs, Birds and Infants to Give the Creatures ‘Beautiful Voices Even in Death’ "It’s honoring the legacy of these dragons to find their...beautiful voices even in death,” says "House of the Dragon' sound designer Paula Fairfield

Some dragon talk. #houseofthedragon #HOTD #sounddesign

Understood, thanks. I don’t feel quite so archaic! Is your SM / Radium Scratch recorder directory a permanently referenced folder in one of your SM databases or, at the end of a film, do you take the time to tidy it up and re-folder the “keepers” elsewhere? My Radium record folder overfloweth!

Either way, do you simply rely on the default file naming out of Radium for those “temporary” sounds (which, I appreciate, can now be used more methodically with Radium UCS naming in 6.2)?

I struggle with quickly ending up with many auto-named SM REC files from Radium to later sort through.

Thx!

Do you allow newly recorded radium elements to show up in your SM database (as they do by default) and then spot them to your PT timeline from SM to continue working on them?

Or do you have a script of some type that sends the new sounds to PT from a Finder folder?

Tim, if I may, I have a question about your workflow unrelated to the 6.2 update.

At 01:05:15 in your video you mention something a practice that I also have: Using Radium to create “source material” that you then bring into PT to work with further.

I’m curious about your workflow in doing so.

I'm not here much, but I have released a new Soundminer v6.2 Update video covering most of the main new features in this new version. It's free, about an hour long and anyone who would like can download it at tinyurl.com/ycy4j6h7.

Given that those machines can’t be upgraded by users (if I recall correctly), I would put as much RAM in as you can afford.

Also, in our labs, I used the old rule of keeping picture files on a separate bus/volume. We stored QuickTimes on the internal drive and PT sessions/media on external volumes.

Pro Tools? Once you add picture, it will start to strain.

In 20+ years of teaching, the greatest challenges I had with students using their own machines were traced back to the *other* things they will do with those machines. Conflicting software, installing Media Composer *and* ProTools, etc.

@larsenonfilm.bsky.social Hmph…Knicks! (…and Pacers! Hello? 2000 ECF calling…)
