Hard disk recording is the order of the day
The aisles and booths of the 113th AES Convention were crowded with throngs of audio professionals from the post production, live sound, recording and related industries as the show headed towards its final day on Tuesday. The throngs came for a firsthand look at products ranging from traditional large format mixing consoles, microphones and monitor speakers to an increasingly dominant array of digital gear, DAW recording software and plug-ins.
The demand for high-definition content creation services has been steadily growing despite a rocky transition to digital television in the United States. A key reason is that companies have found applications for HD services in areas such as feature film mastering. As the 2002-03 TV season begins, emphasis again turns to DTV broadcasting. Meanwhile, the production community focuses on developing techniques and efficiencies in cinematography, postproduction and dailies.

What you should know before you dash into high-def shooting
When I first started working on this piece, I assumed that the requirements of high-definition video production were far more extensive than those of standard-definition. There had to be additional things—more gear, more crew—to rent before a shoot could begin. But I was wrong. “As opposed to what you need to rent, you have to know what you need to shoot,” says Leigh Blicher, managing partner at Videofax (www.videofx.com), a 16-year-old rental company and top HD rental house in San Francisco. One of the big questions to ask yourself, she points out, is what size production you need. “Just grabbing establishing shots for a feature film might only require an experienced DP and an assistant,” she says. “A complex corporate shoot might require a much larger crew and more gear.”
An incremental improvement, but not perfect
Once again, Apple has raised the bar for its G4 line of workstations. Not only have its dual processors gotten a speed bump from 1GHz to 1.25GHz, but the system now supports faster DDR memory and comes pre-loaded with the newest version of OS X, called Jaguar (version 10.2). In this review, we take a look at this new machine, and then run some benchmarks using Adobe After Effects 5.5 and Photoshop 7, to see just how much faster this new box is compared to its predecessor, the dual 1GHz G4.
