October 4, 2018 by Doug Siebum

LoFi Sounds in a High Tech World.

  The topic for the month is LoFi and I'm just having my morning coffee. Before taking this further, it would probably be worthwhile to define LoFi. HiFi is high fidelity and LoFi is low fidelity.

Dialogue on the move – panning in Gravity, Cars and Strange Days

January 30, 2014 by Cormac Donnelly

Dialogue on the move – panning in Gravity, Cars and Strange Days
