So here we are. The final round of winners in the give-away we've been running all month on Designing Sound Exchange. Before we announce the grand prize winner, of course. Keep an eye out for that tomorrow. First off, let me thank everyone for participating and helping to make that space special. We've seen the user base almost triple in the last month, and the range of … [Read more...]
Win Shotguns HD Pro from The Recordist
Frank Bry is an old friend of the site, and has long been a heavy contributor to the community. When we asked him if he'd be willing to sponsor the give-away we've been running this month on DSX, he jumped in without any hesitation. He's offered up a copy of his Shotguns library to one lucky member. The library clocks in at over 5GB, and contains recordings of eight different … [Read more...]
Sunday Sound Thought 52 – Reflection
I started this series a year ago...well, a year ago next week...with the goal of making myself continue thinking about sound in new ways. When I was regularly writing longer pieces for this site, that was easy to do. As I stepped back into more of a background role though, I found myself missing the constant motivation to evaluate the way I approach sound. So this was all about … [Read more...]
Round 3 Winners and Next Week’s Prizes
So how did we pick this week's winners?

Pro Sound Effects have donated another prize … [Read more...]
Win Adaptiverb from Zynaptiq
Have you seen me mention how much I love Zynaptiq and their tools before? I feel like I say it a lot. Probably not here on the site all that frequently, but pretty much everywhere else. They first grabbed my attention with their awesome audio restoration tools. I still prefer Unveil over RX's De-Reverb tool, and Unchirp and Unfilter have remained staples in my "gotta make this … [Read more...]
Sunday Sound Thought 51 – Ornery Listener
As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… There used to be a time when I could turn off the sound editor/mixer side of my brain while consuming … [Read more...]
