Wednesday, December 17, 2008Attention IE users: Serious security flaw foundKeith Clark 12/17/08 01:57 PM, 0 CommentsI just ran across a report today on the BBC News website: “Users of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer are being urged by experts to switch to a rival until a serious security flaw has been fixed.” The next paragraph mentions “internal experts” - an upgrade in “expert” hierarchy, no? :>) Anyway, this seems legit. Click here to read the full report. For the record, I switched to Firefox several years ago and haven’t looked back. Far superior to IE. View this post

Tuesday, December 16, 2008Welcome! Have A Look Around…
Keith Clark 12/16/08 03:55 PM, 1 CommentPardon our dust as we continue to put the finishing touches on the new ProSoundWeb. I’ve been calling this “version 3.0” but as some of our logos through the years show (below), maybe I’m a bit low on the version count. But over the years, this site has evolved in a significant way three different times. There were the startup/formation years, followed by a transition as the site moved to a much more open, flexible format, and now, what you… View this post

Wednesday, December 10, 2008An Open Letter To The Guys & Gals Doing Audio For TV
Fletcher 12/10/08 11:02 AM, 0 CommentsAfter 15 years, the analog television in my living room gave up its will to keep on living and required replacement. Via some careful shopping on the Internet, I settled on one of the new-fangled “Hi Def” plasma screen creations, which arrived just in time for the Super Bowl earlier this year. (Great game, lousy ending… can you tell my office is in Foxboro, MA? But I digress…) This new TV is a great space saver, and allowed me to… View this post

Tuesday, December 02, 2008Keeping Fresh The Art Form Of Recording
Jackson B. Jackson 12/02/08 12:41 PM, 0 CommentsBy Jackson B. Jackson I saw Pink Floyd’s epic film “The Wall” for the first time when I was 12 years old. It was quite possibly, at that time, that I first realized that recorded music held a certain “power.” The music of that film, coupled with the vibrant, yet bleak imagery, “forced” me to confront a whole range of emotions. Shortly after, when I heard the album by itself, I found that the music alone still moved me in… View this post

Wednesday, October 22, 2008Staying Analog In An Increasingly Digital World
Bennett Prescott 10/22/08 02:16 PM, 0 CommentsThis explosion of the digital sound reinforcement product sector over the last half-decade or so has produced a tempting array of solutions. I’ve watched these developments carefully, worked with most of the offerings, and seen other companies utilize these powerful tools to great benefit. My sound company recently started looking for a set of new consoles to support our expanding activities, so I began talking in earnest with manufacturers over what they could offer me in return for my money.… View this post

Thursday, September 25, 2008Recording In Houses Of Worship
D. Scott Kramer 09/25/08 12:31 PM, 2 CommentsIf we were to conduct a poll regarding audio recording among churches, I think we would find that a large percentage of churches record their services. The reasons vary: some churches may simply want to archive their weekly sermons, while others may make available recorded copies of their services on CD, tape, or some other recordable medium. Some churches may even go beyond the simple duplication of their service and offer their programs on radio, television, and even Internet-based broadcasts.… View this post

Friday, April 18, 2008APB Dynasonics ProRack Monitor M1016
Bennett Prescott 04/18/08 03:11 PM, 1 CommentIt’s always nice to come home to a present, and the upstanding folks at APB Dynasonics saw fit to let me demo one of their brand new ProRack Monitor model M1016 mixers for my birthday! I’ve literally just opened the box today and taken some photos, but I’ll have plenty of use for it coming up, and of course anyone else who’d like to take a spin is welcome to borrow it. Yes, that means these are now shipping and… View this post

Wednesday, May 09, 2007TC Electronic M350 Processor
Andy Peters 05/09/07 12:04 PM, 2 CommentsThe friendly guy in the brown truck dropped off some packages last Friday, one of which was a TC M350, which is positioned by TC as their lowest-end digital effects device (list price $249). It’s a “dual engine” device, with one engine dedicated to non-reverb effects (like delay, flanging, chorus, phaser, tremolo and compression) and the second dedicated to reverb. It has two inputs, two outputs (all balanced, BTW), as well as S/PDIF digital I/O. It has a MIDI port… View this post
