这里告别的，是1924年，由Eugen Beyer 博士成立于柏林的公司Beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG，中文惯常翻译为「拜亚动力」。这家公司于1937年开发出了第一支动圈扬声器的耳机Beyerdynamic DT48，从此开启了个人聆听领域的新时代。2025年6月，佳禾智能发布公告，宣布其全资子公司「佳禾国际」拟以现金方式支付对价，收购 Beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG 全部股份及卖方持有的股东借款，初步价款为 1.22 亿欧元（约合 10 亿元人民币）。目前，收购案已经正式开始落地执行。不久之后，作为德国品牌的「拜亚动力」以及Beyerdynamic GmbH & Co. KG 即将走入历史。未来，不论是「拜亚动力」「拜雅」或Beyerdynamic，均将以佳禾国际全资品牌的面貌出现。刚刚于2024年庆祝了百年诞辰，Beyer 就给了我们如此大的一个「惊喜」。但其实在疫情期间，我们已经见证了Sennheiser 消费者业务与Sonova 的并购案。传统耳机大厂的生态链条，在数字音频时代被打碎，以致于资金链难以为继，其实也是意料之中。世界第一品牌森海塞尔尚且如此，何况品牌的大众认知度还要差一个等级的Beyer。如今，传说中的「四大耳机品牌」中最严肃、最正统的一家，即将落入中资集团的控制，让人不由生出沧海桑田、世易时移之感慨。今天，我们找来两位曾对Beyer 号称「爱得深沉」的发烧友，聊聊这位101岁的德国老企业最后的生命历程，以及展望一下，Beyerdynamic 这个品牌，从德国漂泊到中国之后，将会有怎样的未来。如果你喜欢「声波飞行员」，别忘了在「爱发电」平台为我们打赏，增加它继续飞行下去的动力，谢谢。时间轴： [00:00:00] 蔡徐坤老师的Deadman 真好听；小黑子排队道歉； [00:01:03] BGM#1. 蔡徐坤 - Deadman [00:03:49] 节目开始；关于佳禾智能与Beyerdynamic GmbH & Co.

Seit Mai funkt Sennheisers „Wireless Multi Channel Audio System“. Damit braucht nicht mehr jedes drahtlose Mikrophon seinen eigenen Empfänger. Stattdessen können bis zu 32 Chormitglieder auf einer TV-Frequenz in die Sennheiser Cloud singen. Gebaut haben die Hannoveraner Klang-Entwickler dieses digitale Produkt zusammen mit dem CIO Rüdiger Hein. Der Gewinner des „CIO des Jahres 2024“ im Bereich Mittelstand hatte die Jury schon letztes Jahr durch eine hohe IT-OT-Integration überzeugt. Drei Killer-Argumente haben Hein dabei geholfen.

In this documentary, Neil looks at the emergence of location sound recording for cinema and one of the significant technological developments that enabled this.  Starting with the Italian neorealism movement of the late 1940's, the desire for dialogue authenticity gained hold in 1950's Hollywood films. This and the artistic truth of French New Wave filmmaking in the 1960's led to the indispensability of the location sound recordist by the 1970's and one of their important needs was met by the invention and refinement of the now-familiar microphone basket windshield. To help tell the story, Neil plays real-world examples of Outside Broadcast sport; excerpts from classic movies and amateur YouTube filmmakers and also talks with Radius Windshields Managing Director Simon Davies as well as the owner and MD of plastic injection moulding company Elbmar Limited, Keven Rich and the Oscar-winning feature film Production Sound Mixer - and enthusiastic Radius Windshields user - Simon Hayes.  About the presenters: You can find more about Simon Hayes' work here The Radius Windshield site is here Details about Neil Hillman and Jason Nicholas's work as dialogue editors and mixers and how to contact them is here Details of our 1-to-1, training and coaching programmes for ambitious media professionals are available at: https://www.drneilhillman.com and https://soundproducer.com.au/coaching and www.soundformovingpictures.com Technical notes: Written, produced and presented by Dr. Neil Hillman – IMDb Programme edited and mixed by Dr. Neil Hillman on DaVinci Resolve v20.

Episode 173 Chapter 32, Other Analog Synthesizers. Works Recommended from my book, Electronic and Experimental Music  Welcome to the Archive of Electronic Music. This is Thom Holmes. This podcast is produced as a companion to my book, Electronic and Experimental Music, published by Routledge. Each of these episodes corresponds to a chapter in the text and an associated list of recommended works, also called Listen in the text. They provide listening examples of vintage electronic works featured in the text. The works themselves can be enjoyed without the book and I hope that they stand as a chronological survey of important works in the history of electronic music. Be sure to tune-in to other episodes of the podcast where we explore a wide range of electronic music in many styles and genres, all drawn from my archive of vintage recordings. There is a complete playlist for this episode on the website for the podcast. Let's get started with the listening guide to Chapter 32, Other Analog Synthesizers from my book Electronic and Experimental music.   Playlist: OTHER EARLY SYNTHESIZER RECORDINGS (PRE-MIDI AND NOT MOOG)   Time Track Time Start Introduction –Thom Holmes 01:36 00:00 1.     Raymond Scott, “Space Mystery” (1963). Used Scott's Electronium, a custom-made analog synthesizer/sequencer. 05:08 01:42 2.     Pauline Oliveros, “Alien Bog” (1967). Used a prototype Buchla 100 modular synthesizer at Mills College. 33:13 06:53 3.     John Eaton, “Soliloquy For Syn-Ket” (1973) from Electro-Vibrations (The Music Of John Eaton). Used the Synket, an Italian-made modular synthesizer of which only six were ever made. 06:38 40:06 4.     John Keating, “Earthshine” (1975) from Space Experience 2. Featured the ARP 2600 and Pro- Soloist. 04:09 46:46 5.     Patrick Gleeson, “Saturn, The Bringer Of Old Age” (1976) from Beyond The Sun: An Electronic Portrait Of Holst's The Planets. Used Eµ Systems Polyphonic synthesizer. 09:31 51:02 6.     Jean Michel Jarre, “Oxygene, Part IV” (1976) from Oxygene. Used the ARP Odyssey, EMS Synthi AKS, EMS Synthi VCS3, and RMI Harmonic Synthesizer and Keyboard Computer. 03:07 01:00:34 7.     Bennie Maupin, “Crystals” (1978) from Moonscapes. Featured the E-mu Modular Synthesizer programmed by Patrick Gleeson, who owned Different Fur Studios in the San Francisco area and owned E-mu synthesizers (see previous track for an example of the E-mu Systems Polyphonic synthesizer). Here, we have a different treatment of the same instrument by jazz woodwind player Maupin, who played Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Bass Clarinet, Flute, Marimba, Glockenspiel, E-mu Synthesizer, and Computone Synthesizer Winddriver on this album. I picked this track because this is most stripped-down arrangement featuring only Maupin playing the E-mu synthesizer and other instruments. 01:18 01:03:44 8.     Pere Ubu, “On the Surface” (1978) from Dub Housing. Allen Ravenstein used the EML Electrocomp 101 modular synthesizer as a member of this band. 02:37 01:05:02 9.     Sylvester, “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” (1978) from Step II. One of the few albums to feature EML (Electronic Music Laboratories) Modular Synthesizer plus String synthesizer, Electro-comp 101 synthesizer and 200 expander unit, Oberheim DS-2 Sequencer, Effects, Pat Cowley; organ, Electric piano, Clavinet, Michael C. Finden; Percussion, David Frazier; Producer, Lead Vocals, Piano, Sylvester. EML was a Connecticut-based synth maker that was around from about 1970 to 1984. They were best-known for their Electro-comp modular synths. The 101 was a duophonic semi-modular 44-note synth and the model 200 was an expander unit that added ring modulation, spring reverb, and high and low filters to the setup. It was interesting to hear this Moroder-like pulsating synth sound coming from something other than a Moog. 06:34 01:07:40 10.   Isao Tomita, “The Sea Named Solaris” (1978) from Kosmos. Used the Roland System 700, Roland Strings RS- 202, Roland Revo 30, in addition to Moog Modular III, Moog System 55, and Polymoog synthesizers. 12:28 01:14:11 11.   Moebius, “Song For Lya” (1979) from Moebius. Serge, Oberheim, and Minimoog synthesizers, vocals, Bryce Robbley; Serge, Oberheim synthesizers, Doug Lynner; Violin, John Stubbs. Listen closely to tune-out the parts by the Odyssey and Minimoog and you will experience a lovely bed laid down by the Serge. Moebius had three members, one a violinist, heard in this tune blending with the Serge. Although the group used a Sennheiser vocoder on another track, the vocal distortion on this track may have actually been the voice processed with the Serge. 03:15 01:26:42 12.   Pascal Languirand, “O Nos Omnes” (1980) from De Harmonia Universalia. Features the Farfisa Synthorchestra, the famous Italian's company entry into the string synthesizer fray. The Syntorchestra was split into two keyboard sections, strings (polyphonic), and mono synth voices. It was a hybrid organ and synthesizer and used much by Klaus Schulze and other German electronic musicians for the short time that it was available from 1975 to 1978. Nine slider controls were positioned next to a 3-octave keyboard and provided some “chaotic” control episodes for this much beloved and rare keyboard. 07:15 01:29:56 13.   Henry Kucharzyk, “Play Dot Sam” (1981) from Walk The Line - Three New Works By Henry Kucharzyk. This work is performed at the Samson Box at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), Stanford University, Palo Alto, California. This track is an escapee from the 1970s but nonetheless fills a void in that period when commercial synthesizers were moving to digital technology and were quite expensive. The Samson Box was a computer-based digital synthesizer created in 1977 by Peter Samson, who worked at the university. “Samson” was formally known as the “Systems Concepts Digital Synthesizer. It was a one-off special-purpose dedicated audio computer designed for use by student composers at Center for Computer Research in Musical and Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University. 03:05 01:37:08 14.   Terry Riley, “The Ethereal Time Shadow” (1981-82) from Music from Mills. Used two Prophet V synthesizers, tuned to just intonation and employing sequencing. 08:51 01:40:12   Additional opening, closing, and other incidental music by Thom Holmes. My Books/eBooks: Electronic and Experimental Music, sixth edition, Routledge 2020. Also, Sound Art: Concepts and Practices, first edition, Routledge 2022.

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland   Thema heute:  Mit dem CUPRA Born durch El Born - Pulsierendes Viertel gibt Modell seinen Namen und seine DNA      Der eine oder andere weiß, dass der Seat-Konzern, zu dem auch Cupra gehört, seine Autos gerne nach Orten benennt. So wurde der Cupra Formentor nach dem Cap Formentor auf Mallorca benannt, der Namensgeber des Cupra Tavascan ist ein Ort in den Pyrenäen. Um den Namen für den Born zu finden, mussten die Kreativen nur um die Ecke schauen. In das historische Stadtviertel El Born in Barcelona. Im Mittelalter handelten dort Kaufleute miteinander – heute reihen sich Restaurants, Bars und kleine Geschäfte aneinander. Vor allem junge Kreative fühlen sich hier zu Hause – Einheimische wie Gäste. Sie essen, trinken, feiern. Gemeinsam inmitten des historischen Stadtviertels El Born in Barcelona. Für den Fall, dass SIE sich dort mal umschauen möchten – hier sind ein paar Insidertipps. Elektrisierende Atmosphäre Am Samstagabend ist das Barleben in El Born ist in vollem Gange. Etwa im Tapas-Restaurant El Set. Wer Glück hat, ergattert noch einen der heiß begehrten Tische an der Carrer de l'Esparteria. Oder in der Mariposa Negra Bar am Plaza de les Olles. Man kann sich auch einfach treiben und das Viertel auf sich wirken lassen. Die Atmosphäre fühlt sich auffallend anders und elektrisierend an.    Top Tipps zu Barcelonas Szeneviertel El Born In den engen Gassen von El Born kommen dem E-Modell Curpa Born vor allem seine Wendigkeit und die Fahrassistenzsysteme zugute. So ermöglicht es der neue Remote Park Assist beispielsweise, das Einparkmanöver mit dem Smartphone zu beenden – und über den Trained Parking Assist kann der CUPRA Born VZ lernen, an festgelegten Parkplätzen, wie vor dem einen Lieblingsrestaurant in El Born, einzuparken. Kunst und Konzerte Doch El Born bietet noch mehr. Das Viertel ist geprägt von etlichen inhabergeführten Shops und jungen Talenten, die ihrer künstlerischen Leidenschaft hier freien Lauf lassen können. Fast an jeder Ecke gibt es etwas zu entdecken – von Gemälden über Schmuck bis hin zu Straßenkonzerten. Und auch im Inneren des Born kann man Sound genießen. Für den richtigen Soundtrack für die laue Sommernacht in El Born sorgt das optionale High-Fidelity-Audiosystem mit zehn Lautsprechern, das in Zusammenarbeit mit Sennheiser entwickelt wurde. Und wer jetzt Lust hat, die Umgebung der katalanischen Hauptstadt zu erkunden, der kann – nach einen kurzen Ladestopp unweit des bekannten Parc de la Ciutadella, auf die Piste gehen. Voll geladen kommt der Born bis zu 599 Kilometer weit. Das kann somit eine sehr ausgedehnte   Rundfahrt werden. Und die kann natürlich auch wieder in El Born enden!   Alle Fotos: SEAT Deutschland GmbH   Diesen Beitrag können Sie nachhören oder downloaden unter:

De Canadese marktwaakhond klaagt Google aan om machtsmisbruik in de online adverstentiemarkt. De techgigant zou twee advertentie-tools met elkaar gekoppeld hebben, waardoor het advertentieveilingen naar zijn hand kan zetten. En daarmee wordt concurrentie buiten spel gezet, stelt de waakhond. De marktwaakhond is een rechtszaak gestart en eist dat Google de twee advertentietools van de hand doet. Daarnaast zou Google een boete moeten betalen van maximaal 3% van de wereldwijde omzet. Binnen 45 dagen moet Google met een reactie komen op de juridische aanklacht. Google zegt in een statement dat de waakhond geen aandacht heeft voor de concurrentie die juist op de markt speelt. In de VS ligt Google ook onder vuur, daar zou het bedrijf de webbrowser Chrome mogelijk moeten verkopen. Die beslissing zou ook grote gevolgen hebben voor de rol van Google op de advertentiemarkt.

Welk paar oortjes moet je hebben? In deze Schaal van Hebben bespreekt techredacteur Stijn Goossens draadloze oordroppen van drie verschillende merken: JBL, Sennheiser en Google. Met één duidelijke winnaar, en een verliezer. De Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4 gaan all-in op audiokwaliteit. Ze leveren klasse geluid en ondersteunen lossles audio, maar laten steekjes vallen op andere punten. Het doosje wordt snel vies, de ruisonderdrukking is medium en het comfort valt wat teken door de grote oortjes. Prijs: ca. 200 euro De Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 voelen premium aan, zijn klein en licht in je oren en hebben een goede lange accuduur. De audiokwaliteit en ruisonderdrukking zijn prima, maar niet opvallend goed. Het nadeel is dat ze enkel een app op Android hebben, op iPhone zijn de besturingsmogelijkheden dus wat minder uitgebreid. Prijs: ca. 200 euro De JBL Tour Pro 3 zijn het meest opvallend, want het doosje heeft een schermpje. Dat schermpje maakt het mogelijk om diverse instellingen aan te passen. Bovendien kan het doosje een bluetoothsignaal maken voor apparaten die dat niet ondersteunen. Handig in het vliegtuig. Verder zijn de audiokwaliteit en ruisonderdrukking erg goed, en biedt de app veel extra's voor de gleuidsbeleving.

In this episode, I had the chance to sit down with the incredibly talented Johnny McGuire, who's had quite the journey in country music. Originally from Dallas, Johnny moved to Nashville in 2012 with the dream of becoming a songwriter. Little did he know, his path would take some unexpected turns, from forming the duo “Walker McGuire” with Jordan Walker to carving out a successful solo career. We dive into his early days in Nashville and how everything changed when he found himself sitting next to Jordan Walker at the Commodore Grille—just a few days after arriving in town. We also talk about Johnny's creative process, his experience writing for other artists, and his collaboration with Billy Ray Cyrus on “Chevys and Fords.” Plus, Johnny shares the story behind his latest hit, "Already Had It," which was featured in the 2024 movie “Twisters,” and what it was like to hear it on the big screen for the first time. We even dive into his thoughts on country music's evolution, advice for aspiring artists, and how he's been staying true to himself while navigating the industry. Our conversation is packed with insights, laughs, and, of course, some great tunes. Johnny also plays a couple of his own songs and opens up about his creative journey and what keeps him inspired. If you're looking for some real, honest advice from someone who's been through it all, Johnny's got plenty to share.  SHOW NOTES: Other songs from Johnny mentioned in this episode -  Catch a Break, They Call Me Doc, Shop Radio CreatiVets - HERE Operation Song - HERE Keep up with Johnny McGuire - HERE Listen/Subscribe/Follow - HERE   SBTSongs TikTok - @SBTSongs   SBTSongs Instagram - @SBTSongs   SBTSongs YouTube - @SBTSongs   Chris Blair's Instagram - @ChrisBlairMusic   Chris Blair's Website - ChrisBlair.com   The Listening Room's Website - ListeningRoomCafe.com   TLR's Instagram - @ListeningRoomCafe   TLR's TikTok - @ListeningRoomCafe   *A special shoutout to our sponsors* Sennheiser - https://www.sennheiser.com/en-us Imperfect Aesthetician - https://www.instagram.com/imperfectaesthetician/ Alclair In-Ear Monitors - https://alclair.com/ Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sbtsongs/support --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sbtsongs/support

Victoria Banks joins us for this week's new episode of Stories Behind the Songs! Victoria is what some people in the music industry would call a “unicorn” - she writes her best stuff completely 100% (meaning all by herself), and she has several accolades to her name including the Canadian Artist and Songwriter of the Year.  Some of Victoria's cuts include “Saints and Angels” by Sara Evans, “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” by Mickey Guyton, and the one-and-only Reba McEntire's most recent single, “I Can't”, and she shares the story behind each one of these songs.  In this episode, we also talk about how her song, “Saints and Angels” was edited and used as a post-9/11 anthem, “daring to suck” in co-writes, building a decade-long collaborative relationship with Mickey Guyton, teaching at Belmont where she can “be there for the beginning” of a student's songwriting career, and getting that Reba cut with “I Can't” 18 years after it was put on hold and seeing it debuted on The Voice. Victoria plays a verse and chorus of “Saints and Angels”, “I Can't”, and an emotional rendition of “What Are You Gonna Tell Her?” There's so much good advice for aspiring songwriters in this one.. Thanks so much to Victoria for sharing some of her wisdom. Let's get into it!

So I have a new toy (or two) - a nice new set of RODE Wireless Pro 32-bit floating point recording units.  Nice.  But I honestly wasn't sure if the recording had worked (there must be a lesson or two in UX design here, but I'll let that go.) Anyway, the recording DID work, or I wouldn't be publishing this podcast.  No editing.  No effects.  No tricks. Just straight out of the recording unit - 32-bit floating point is good like that, you don't even need to set any levels! The topic is mostly about what we've been up to and the things going on. Which is to say, lots! Enjoy!   Cheers P. If you enjoy this podcast, please head over to Mastering Portrait Photography, for more articles and videos about this beautiful industry. You can also read a full transcript of this episode. PLEASE also subscribe and leave us a review - we'd love to hear what you think! If there are any topics, you would like to hear, have questions we could answer or would like to come and be interviewed on the podcast, please contact me at paul@paulwilkinsonphotography.co.uk.    Transcript [00:00:00] What is it? No matter which way you put the keys in, it's always the wrong one. Oh, squeaky windscreen wipers. [00:00:18] The sound of a Land Rover's windscreen wipers, as you can, as you can probably tell from the scraping sound, it's drizzling outside, which means you have to have the wipers on intermittent, and a Land Rover's, Windscreen wipers are not subtle. They're kind of, they're just noisy. They kind of scrape water, um, off the windscreen. [00:00:43] If, and if you're wondering, maybe they should just be replaced. These are new ones and they always sound like that. Anyway, as you can hear, I'm in the Land Rover. I am just leaving a shoot with the Hearing, Dogs. I'm acutely aware that it's been a while since I've, uh, recorded a podcast, and so here I am. [00:01:02] Once more sitting in the driving seat of some really wonderful British engineering, even if it is clunky, making scraping sounds in the drizzle, which is so poetic, I suppose. I'm Paul and this is the Mastering Portrait Photography Podcast. Now, dear listener, if you're listening to this, then it's been a success. [00:01:39] If you're not listening to this, well, you won't know it hasn't been because it simply won't come out. I'm recording this on a new set of Microphones, or at least a new set of transmitters. So, uh, we were recording a workshop video the other day and it became apparent that I needed to bite the bullet and upgrade our transmitter system. [00:02:01] It's been a while. I've had the old RØDE system now probably ten years, I think. And it felt like it was the moment to buy into some new technology. So here I am. Quite excitedly, if I'm honest, because I've never recorded myself in 32 bit floating point before. Now, if you're just a stills guy, that means nothing. [00:02:24] Uh, 32 bit, I mean, our images are in 16 bit or 8 bit, so you obviously are, you know, aware of the difference in quality, but 32 bit floating point essentially means you never need to set the levels. Now, that's the bold claim by anybody. RØDE, Zoom, Sennheiser. who make 32 bit recording, 32 bit floating point recording gear. [00:02:48] Apparently you never need to set the levels, you can plug in and record, it'll sound amazing, and how easy could that be? Where could it possibly go wrong? Well, I will know where it goes wrong at the end, when I drag the audio off this unit. Uh, and see if I can make a podcast out of it. Uh, so, as I said, apologies. [00:03:11] I seem to spend my life doing this thing. I'm really sorry there haven't been many episodes of the podcast. But it's not because I'm lazy. It's not because I don't want to do it. It's simply that, just for a minute, we are swamped. There is so much, uh, going on. And we've gone quiet on quite a lot of channels. [00:03:30] To the point where, even yesterday, I had a couple of WhatsApps. Are you alive? Uh, anybody there? Almost knocking on the glass to see if, uh, we're alright. We are fine. We're just incredibly, uh, busy. And that's not to say we haven't found a few gaps in the diary to go do some nice things. We've been watching the cricket, the 100, which is the UK's franchise cricket. [00:03:54] And obviously the test matches have started again. Now, Sarah and I, we really weren't cricket fans until Jake started working with the English Cricket Board. Now, obviously, Superfans. So we went to the final of the hundred, uh, at Lords the other day. Wonderful day out with the kids. It was a beautiful, I mean beautiful, hot, sunny day. [00:04:16] You wouldn't know that this is Thursday I'm recording it, and on Sunday it was hot and sunny and nearly 30 degrees. Today it's 16 degrees and drizzling and windy. Uh, you wouldn't know it's in the same week, let alone the same season. Or the same season, let alone the same week. Uh, but there we are. So we have found time to do a few bits and pieces, uh, like that to spend a little bit of time with the family, but essentially that's it. [00:04:42] Everything that isn't core to what we're trying to do just at the moment has fallen by the wayside, including my love affair with a Peloton exercise bike. I'm paying for it dearly. I'm gonna have to get back on that thing when all is done. What are we doing? Well, we're re engineering still, but properly. [00:05:02] Finishing off the re engineering of the Mastering Portrait Photography, not just the website but the whole offering. So ranging from the way we do our workshops, the teaching side of it, through to the assets that you can download, uh, as well as the articles, the videos, the membership side of the site, all of it is being overhauled with a view to getting it out there at the beginning of September. [00:05:28] That's our current date which of, as of right now, we've is about a week away. It's a lot closer than I would like it to be, but that's what we're trying to achieve is to get version one, um, everything sorted and out there. So, uh, last night, um, basically I spent the entire night building, uh, an animation of our garden. [00:05:49] I've built the garden that we shoot in, in 3d, in software. So that I can, uh, run any angle of, on the garden and show exactly how the lighting would look and why we use it the way we do it. And that's an exercise that's been going on, uh, for a few weeks as well. So there's all of that. We're also been working on how we do workshops and trying to figure out what I want the workshops to be. [00:06:14] And essentially, I want them to be why. I want them to answer the why. That's what I'm trying to figure out.. How to use language, how to use pictures, how to use, um, the various, um, things we do. The what and the how, yeah, they're kind of interesting. They're the sort of things you get from YouTube videos, typically, or from trainers, typically. [00:06:38] You know, do it like this, do it like that, this is what you should do, this is how you should do it. Um, but, I get really bored really quickly. I have a boredom threshold that's more or less on the floor. Um, And so, I'm really only curious when somebody's explaining why. Why do we do things? Why do things work the way they do? [00:07:00] And so that's become, um, our focus, or my focus on, uh, that side of it, is explaining why it's important that we do what we do. rather than just the what. So that's the reason why the podcast has gone quiet and we've had, I mean, a myriad of clients. A brilliant, brilliant magician, David Schwartz, flew over from New York. [00:07:26] He's a native New Yorker. I first photographed him on a cruise ship heading towards the Arctic Circle in Russia. Nine years ago, it turns out we were discussing it. Um, anyway, he was in Europe. So he flew over from where he was in Germany, came over to London and, uh, I photographed him again, just the nicest guy and the nicest pictures. [00:07:47] Um, and also he did me the honor of recording an interview on the podcast, which I will cut, um, and release in the near future. Um, it was, this was intended to be an introduction to that. Particular podcast, but it takes me longer to cut those podcasts. This podcast, you're getting this straight off the microphone , so if I screw it up, you're getting it anyway. [00:08:12] Uh, because there isn't time to do a craft edit. uh, on this. The other thing we've done is we've now got someone inside, talking of craft edit, someone in the business, uh, Katie, who some of you will know is one of our, uh, she was originally a client, went to film school, went to university to study film, um, and then sarah and I were at Jake's graduation. Jake graduated, he got an upper 2. 1 from Loughborough University in Sport Technology. He's now back working with English Cricket Board, but we went to his graduation and while we were sitting having breakfast, the three or four of us were sitting having breakfast, I got a text from Katie. [00:08:53] I'll have to paraphrase it because obviously I can't read my phone when I'm driving, but it said broadly speaking, I You're my favorite people to work with. Is there any chance of a more permanent role? Because Katie had been and helped us record a few bits. She's obviously modeled quite a lot for us these days. [00:09:07] Um, and so I looked at this text and thought, you know what? This is, I mean, this must be six, eight weeks ago. Um, and so, well, we're at this kind of interesting junction in the business's career. And, uh, We need, we know we need video capability. We are building videos and have been building videos, but what we don't have is the natural capability in house. [00:09:29] Now I can do it, I can learn it, so can Sarah, so can Michelle, but it's a little bit of a struggle. It's a bit of an uphill battle to learn all the software, to learn all the edits, even things, you know, like the recording gear I'm working on right now. And, and so it'd be really useful if we had someone in house who could help us shape the videos, help us script them out, maybe storyboard them, and then edit them. [00:09:55] And Katie, of course, being a graduate from film school, uh, fitted all of those bills. And on top of that, she is super lovely, um, and has slotted in to the team almost seamlessly. And so we're sitting looking at this text and it's, you know, as you all know if you're running a business, how can you You can't simply find the money. [00:10:16] There's got to be an argument as to how we're going to do it, how we're going to monetize that, what's going to come out of the budget. Uh, so a few things like me getting a faster computer for a minute, that's stalled, that's for certain. Uh, not least of which because obviously the Land Rover blew up at the beginning of the year and we're still just paying that six and a half thousand pound bill off. [00:10:34] But nonetheless, nonetheless, we sat and looked at this text and thought, well, it feels like the stars are aligning. We wanted to get the website up and on its feet. There are some things next year in the diary that mean it would be very useful, uh, if the website was, uh, up, the Mastering Portrait Photography website was up and working, uh, almost autonomously. [00:10:56] We need to be able to create videos, we need to have a backlog of videos ready to roll for some of the chunks of next year, early in the year. More on that will come out in future podcasts. And so, um, with a little bit of trepidation, we committed to the first ten days or so. With Katie and it's been an absolute blast. [00:11:15] We're all still learning how this is going to work, how we're going to do edits and things, but uh, DaVinci, which is the editing suite we've chosen to go with is incredibly intuitive. Now I'm, I've used Premiere Pro since I can remember, probably 20 years um, or something like that. So uh, I thought we'd go down that road, but it turns out that DaVinci is a much better collaborative tool. [00:11:39] It's also I think it's a better editing suite. Certainly if you love sound, uh, the Fairlight sound engine in it, um, that allows you to do the mixing is absolutely wonderful. And I love, I absolutely love a bit of sound. Uh, so Katie has joined the team and that's sort of another distraction away from me just releasing podcasts. [00:11:59] But today I've just been down to Hearing Dogs. But before I left the studio this morning, I don't know if this is the point of this particular podcast, but it's certainly a little bit of a reminisce. So now we're teaching. Now we're really growing the academy side of our business. Um, coincidentally this morning, I got posted, you know how Facebook sends you notifications? And there was this thing about some of our favourite teachers from the high school, for our American friends, uh, secondary school for my British friends, uh, I went to, which is the Alun School in Mold in North Wales. [00:12:33] Um, and it was really nice to see some of the teacher's names knocking around and it got me to thinking about my English teacher. Now I've emailed the school to see if I can get a hold of him, uh, in a nice way just to say thank you. Now, Mr. Betley was probably. The strictest teacher I have ever met. Um, and back in the 80s the teachers were fairly strict. [00:12:56] I have had boar dusters bounce off my head, bits of chalk thrown at me. I've been, one teacher who shall remain nameless held me up against a wall by my throat, which these days would instigate legal proceedings, but back then seemed to just be the norm. However, Mr. Betley, strict as he was, somehow dragged English out of me. [00:13:21] He dragged the written word, or the love of the written word, out of me. Now, he was also the guy that broke my own ruler, hitting me over the knuckles with it. Because I'd been messing around. I was a dick. I mean, let's be honest, I was an absolute idiot. Probably still am. Um, I wouldn't say I was unruly, or particularly I wasn't naughty as such, but I certainly never focused. [00:13:45] I found it impossible to focus, um, particularly in academic, um, subjects. Was good with things like woodwork and metalwork and art, music, of course. Uh, but when it came to sitting and concentrating on a page of writing, I was not gifted in the slightest. And so, one particular lesson, he asked me to get my ruler and come up to the front, to which he whacked me over the knuckles with it, splintered it into a thousand pieces, and gave me f I don't know what it was, 40p or something to go and buy a new one. [00:14:14] Um, that was the life back then. I remember one day, um, I had been asked to do an errand for another teacher midway through the class, so I pottled off across the school campus to do this errand, whatever it was, can't remember, and on the way back, our lesson, whatever lesson it was, was on the top floor of one of the blocks. [00:14:35] And so I thought I'd use the lift, um, elevator. And so, uh, without really thinking too much about it, I was on the ground floor. I hit door, you know, up, climbed in, went to the top floor. And as the doors opened, I knew I was in trouble. Cause you're not allowed to use the elevator. Gradually, ever so slowly, the doors opened and I can see a figure, a shadowy figure standing in the corridor outside, and there he is. [00:15:02] Mr. Betley, just stood there, arms folded, who'd clearly clocked that I'd walked in on the bottom floor and knew, somehow, that that's what I was going to do. So the doors opened. There's Mr. Betley, stood there, just quietly watching me. Wilkinson, he said, Wilkinson, come to my room at lunchtime and you're going to write four sides of A3 on the life and times of a ping pong ball. [00:15:30] He leant in. He hit ground floor button, stepped back out of the elevator and let it take me all the way back down to the bottom floor. Come lunchtime, I had to sit and write four sides of A3 on the life and times of a ping pong ball. Now I don't know quite how he got that idea, where that subject came from, but I remember it clearly. [00:15:52] I remember thinking up all of these arguments and all of these stories about dented ping pong balls and ping pong balls that have lost their air. And ping pong balls that have been spun out of control by these incredible Welsh ping pong players, uh, I was in school in Wales. Uh, and how, how sometimes when they hit the net it's a relief just to get a bit of respite. [00:16:12] Um, you know, it's just one of those, uh, things. And then the ultimate demise of every ping pong ball is that crack. The final, untimely, ignominious crack. And the ping pong ball is useless for nothing more than going into somebody's craft box. www. Where it'll be reincarnate as, I don't know, the eyes on a monster or something, I'm sure that's what I wrote about. [00:16:35] Anyway, Mr. Betley gave me a love of the English language, the written version of the English language, not the way I speak, I know I don't speak particularly, um, eloquently. But he gave me a love of writing stories and that has carried on now and I write for Professional Photo Magazine and NPhoto Magazine and Digital Photographer Magazine. [00:16:55] www. professionalphotographer. com And I absolutely love the written word. And so I'm trying to get hold of him, and it's all a bit of a coincidence, but it's, I suppose what it's done in my head, is just trigger some thoughts about what makes, what makes, I don't know, there are teachers I loved, but didn't impart an awful lot, and there are teachers like Mr. [00:17:16] Betley, who I, I guess, I don't think I feared him, but I certainly respected him, and he drew out stuff from me, and how he knew that I had, the ability in me to write when all I really did was mess around. Um, then I don't know. Uh, so we're trying to figure that out. And the reason I tell you the story is that's what's been going on behind the scenes is it's me trying to figure out and putting the materials together for better workshops, for better content on the mastering portrait photography website for finding ways to be useful to add insight, to answer the inevitable why. I love the question why. Why do we light things the way we do? Why, why do I bang on about the catchlights in the eyes when I'm doing portraiture? Why is that my anchor point? Why do we use fast shutter speeds for some things and slow for others? Why do we pick the lenses we do? [00:18:20] Why, oh why, oh why, all of those. wise. So that's what's been going on. So apologies for there being no podcasts for a while. I will try to make up for it. If this little bit of kit works and I've got no idea, there's absolutely nothing that tells me this is recording apart from one little red light, um, on the transmitter, which has gone orange, which is a little bit freaky. [00:18:41] I don't know whether it's still working. Everything seems to be good. It doesn't even have, because it's 32 bit floating point, it doesn't even have level dials. It just kind of says, yep, recording. So in about 10 minutes, I will know whether this was a fool's errand or whether you're actually going to hear this podcast completely uncut. [00:18:59] It's going to come out the way it is. I'm just driving back through the village to the studio, um, over the speed bumps. There you go, speed bump, and still my squeaky windscreen wipers in the background. They'll be in the background, by the way, but I can't drive without them. Uh, that's just, uh, one of those things. [00:19:17] Anyway, anyway, I hope the podcast, I hope, I hope a little bit of me hopes you've missed the podcast. If you haven't missed it, if you're, this is the first episode you're listening to, please listen to one of the other episodes that have been recorded, uh, and edited. Craft edited, I like to think. Um, if you like your podcasts raw and from the cab of a Defender Land Rover, then I'm your guy, here it is. [00:19:39] Uh, anyway, I hope your world is good. I hope the summer. Or as we head into the late summer and the beginnings of the autumn, I hope you're having a wonderful one. I hope you've had a wonderful one. Um, I hope that life finds you well. To all of the students out there today who've just got their GCSE results in the UK, I hope it's gone well for you. [00:20:01] Uh, I know a couple of my clients, uh, Jess in particular, one of our dancers who's I've worked with. Uh, I hope you've got the results that you've, uh, deserve having worked so hard and as I pull up in front of our studio in the drizzly mizzle, uh, whatever you're doing, whatever you're doing, be kind to yourself, take care.

We've got Sammy Arriaga on this week's brand new episode of Stories Behind the Songs! I've known Sammy for over 10 years, and it was such a good time to catch up with him today.  Sammy and I talk about his 2021 album release, Boots x Beats, which features songs like “COUNTRY SIDE” and “take my phone.” Sammy goes into how the Miami music scene he was raised in with heavy R&B and EDM influences meshed with the storytelling of country music to create the unique sound he has today.  We dive into his recent single, “The Boat”, which he shares the story behind and plays a verse/ chorus of. Sammy plays several other songs including “COUNTRY SIDE,” one of his popular Spanish covers, and a fan-favorite unreleased track.  In this week's episode, we also discuss 615 House, his recent tour of the U.K. with fellow rising country artist, Gareth, how to maintain artistic integrity while also writing for sound bites and short attention spans (using the example of Ella Langley and Riley Green's smash hit, “you look like you love me”), how the title of his 2016 EP, Banjos ‘n' Bongos, doubles as his motto as an artist, and the amazing advice he would give to his younger self - to lead with humanity over ambition as a songwriter. If you enjoyed this week's episode, make sure to share it with your friends and give us a follow. It's our passion to share the Stories Behind the Songs, and it's because of listeners like you that we are able to continue doing it. It was great sitting down with Sammy - enjoy!

Today marks exactly 1-1/2 years since we re-launched the Stories Behind the Songs Podcast. So, we thought we'd take you back to our very first episode with the amazing and beautiful Carly Pearce! Carly has been a very good friend for many years and when I originally had this idea to do this podcast, Carly was my very first guest and she had just put her first single out to radio. This was February of 2017! It's funny to see how far we have come with video quality since then and I had a lot less gray hair (haha) but since we have been doing this for 78 weeks in a row now, I thought I would dive into the archives and share this beautiful story from Carly. She talks about how she got started from being listed in Rolling Stone as a top 10 artist to watch, her first single with the Josh Abbot Band “wasn't that drunk” and when we recorded this episode it was a week after her debut single Every Little Thing. Since then she has obviously come so far and I feel like I'm constantly sending her texts about how proud I am of her. I hope you enjoy this special throwback episode, hearing more of Carly's story from the beginning, hearing her talk about Busbee who was her producer and just an industry icon that unfortunately passed away back in September 2019, and the story behind every little thing and more. Carly, I'm so proud of you and you're absolutely crushing it. I hope everyone out there loves this and continues to support us here on the podcast, share it with all of your friends and make sure to go see Carly in concert and support her incredible career! And maybe we will get her in here again soon to talk about everything going on now and how the last 7 years has been. Here is my dear friend on this special throwback episode, Carly Pearce.

Summary In this episode of Blind Level Tech, the hosts discuss microphones for podcasting and voiceover recording. They start by talking about the mics they are currently using, including the Audio-Technica AT2020 condenser microphone and the CAD GXL2200. They explain the difference between condenser and dynamic microphones and the best use cases for each. They also discuss built-in microphones in devices like laptops and phones, noting that while they can be convenient, they often lack in audio quality. The hosts then explore different types of microphones in various price ranges, including USB mics, XLR mics, and headset mics. They provide recommendations for affordable microphones and caution against using headset mics for professional audio work. They also mention the Blue Yeti microphone as a versatile option with multiple polar patterns. They cover popular options like the Blue Yeti and the Shure MV7, as well as higher-end models like the AKG C414. They also mention the importance of considering the sound profile, polar patterns, and durability when choosing a microphone. The conversation concludes with a discussion about their favorite sandwiches. Takeaways Condenser microphones are good for picking up audio from the room, while dynamic microphones are better for dialogue and close-up recording. Built-in microphones in devices like laptops and phones often lack in audio quality and are not recommended for professional audio work. Affordable microphones in the $20 to $60 price range can significantly upgrade audio quality, with options like Logitech, Zeal Sound, and CAD microphones. Headset mics are convenient but may pick up vibrations from the head and produce unpleasant audio quality. They are not recommended for voiceovers. The Blue Yeti microphone is a versatile option with multiple polar patterns and a built-in sound card for monitoring and adjusting audio levels. Proper microphone placement and technique are important for achieving good audio quality. There are many microphones available for podcasting and voiceover work in the $100 to $250 price range. The Shure MV7 is a popular choice among podcasters and offers both XLR and USB options. Other options in this price range include the Blue Yeti, Audio-Technica, and Sennheiser microphones. Higher-end microphones like the Lewitt Ray and AKG C414 offer advanced features and exceptional sound quality. Consider factors like sound profile, polar patterns, and durability when choosing a microphone. Rode microphones are also worth considering for their range of podcasting options.
