MASV - The Fastest Large File Transfer Service For Media MASV is a fast, large file transfer service that ensures on-time delivery of massive video files. Send up to 15 TB at once. Start for free today!

Will just plug massive.io here, it’s the same idea as WeTransfer but no subscription, all pay-as-you-go, and they have a downloader app for your desktop for the big stuff.

Very much time to stop using WeTransfer, with their updated terms that clearly state they have the right to use anything you transfer across their service, to train AI, create derivative works, basically steal and use anything you post through them. This is now laid out in section 6.3, posted below:

Still recording when I got up this morning which means I have a lovely 9 hours of city sounds to sort through. Amazingly the battery pack is still showing full charge!

Hey sound folks . Some time ago, I came across a physical modeling synth instrument where you could combine elements like plates, springs, speakers and rods in a 3D environment. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name. Any hints?

I’m working on an article about David Lynch’s unique sonic storytelling for the MPSE magazine Wavelength and have interviewed some of the sound designers he worked with during the years. Dean Hurley shared this photo with me of Lynch’s private mix stage and recording studio, Asymmetrical Studio. 1/2

That moment when you're hunting for the perfect sound… and it turns out to be something you recorded on a whim 7 months ago. I knew it would come in handy. #SoundDesign #FieldRecording

My life ❤️🎤🎧

Today is the birthday of one of the most important inventors in film sound: Jack Foley, who developed the method of performing sound effects live that’s still used on almost all movies! He died in 1967 and would have been 134 years old today. Sure had his own special style ❤️🎤 #filmsound #sounddesign

My friends Dark Angels in the pub today!

And the sound is also another Mission Impossible film!

Nice! I have a friend who’s also just started painting again after a long time so I get occasional updates when he brings his Dark Angels to the pub! 😆

Awesome! What chapter are you painting them as?

Ah, I still have one of those surround panners, one of my favourite toys!

If eBay is anything to go by, looks like your D1 could be a good pension plan! Just saw one on there for £1,200!

This sounds shockingly good, far better than it has any right to for the price and size. Kind of stunned at the leap in sound quality from my first handheld recorder!

I've just read every revision of ITU-BS.1770, -0 through -5 and I'm really annoyed because everybody seems to have a totally bonkers perception of what's in them... 🧵

(this is incredibly in-the-weeds unless you're a film or TV re-recording mixer you are warned)

Really lucky for Lisa that it’s not a lack of government funding that’s the issue

Strike: An Uncivil War has been nominated for Excellence in Sound for a Factual Film at the AMPS Awards!

I’m feeling very grateful to be alongside such amazing nominees, especially for an award voted on by my fellow sound people.

There’ve been some incredible leaps in the film post industry in the last few years with AI powered software. The clarity you can bring to dialogue from troubled recordings now is astonishing. This is the AI industry that I welcome and would love to flourish. Not the thieving folks’ creativity AI.

MPSE Donating Up To $100K Toward L.A. Wildfire Relief Effort, Launches Online Forum & Donations Portal The Motion Picture Sound Editors is donating $50,000 to wildfire relief efforts amid the ongoing disaster in Los Angeles County.

I’ve actually started loading Flux Stereo Tool in my default Soundminer DSP Rack just so I can deal with this stuff immediately on hearing it.

Same Nathan, I’m not as sensitive as you by the sounds of it but i feel it immediately and it is so uncomfortable to listen to. I’m always amazed when I find it’s slipped through peoples mastering stage on their field recordings!
