00:00:01
Get started.

00:00:01
Welcome.

00:00:02
Hi.

00:00:02
Hi.

00:00:03
Hi.

00:00:03
Hello, everyone.

00:00:05
To the Pro Audio Suite.

00:00:06
These guys are professional.

00:00:07
They're motivated.

00:00:08
Thanks to Tribooth, the best vocal booth for

00:00:11
home or on the road voice recording, and

00:00:13
Austrian Audio, making passion heard.

00:00:16
Introducing Robert Marshall from Source Elements and Someone

00:00:20
Audio Post, Chicago.

00:00:21
Darren Robert Robertson from Voodoo Radio Imaging, Sydney.

00:00:24
And tech to the VO stars, George the

00:00:26
Tech Whittam from LA, and me, Andrew Peters,

00:00:29
voiceover talent and home studio guy.

00:00:32
Line up, man.

00:00:33
Here we go.

00:00:35
And welcome to another Pro Audio Suite, thanks

00:00:38
to Tribooth.

00:00:39
Don't forget the code, T-R-I-P

00:00:42
-A-P 200.

00:00:43
That will get you $200 off your Tribooth.

00:00:46
And Austrian Audio, making passion heard.

00:00:49
In fact, you'll be hearing it slightly differently

00:00:50
with some new headphones that are releasing very

00:00:53
soon.

00:00:54
More passionately, yes.

00:00:57
It's going to be based on the Hi

00:00:59
-X 15, but they're doing a bit of

00:01:00
tweaking to it, changing a few things.

00:01:03
Color scheme, the internals, and also a longer

00:01:06
cable.

00:01:06
Three meters.

00:01:08
That's a three meter long cable.

00:01:10
That's great.

00:01:11
Does it also come with a cable management

00:01:12
system?

00:01:13
Like a hose reel.

00:01:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:01:16
Like a fishing reel.

00:01:17
Like a vacuum cleaner.

00:01:19
Yeah, that, now we're talking.

00:01:22
Yeah.

00:01:23
So anyway, Austrian Audio have kindly given us

00:01:27
a pair to give away when they're released.

00:01:29
I think they're launching at AES, so by

00:01:31
the time this goes out, I think we'll

00:01:33
be pretty close to that date, which is

00:01:34
early October.

00:01:36
So we'll be giving a pair of those

00:01:37
away.

00:01:37
And how do you enter to win these

00:01:39
headphones, you may well ask?

00:01:41
Well, simply, we're asking you to do a

00:01:44
bit of a mix.

00:01:45
Robbo, do you want to play your mix?

00:01:47
Yeah, okay.

00:01:47
Well, let's just play this piece of audio.

00:01:51
Experience a new destination for adventure, nature, science,

00:01:59
and culture.

00:02:06
National Geographic today, tonight at seven on the

00:02:10
National Geographic Channel.

00:02:13
Always wonder.

00:02:14
All right, so there you go.

00:02:15
That's what we're looking at doing.

00:02:17
And just so we're clear, I'm not giving

00:02:18
away any corporate secrets here.

00:02:20
That piece was actually from like a year

00:02:22
ago.

00:02:23
So I'm not giving anything away.

00:02:25
That's been to air and gone, so just

00:02:27
so we're clear.

00:02:27
Interesting that she chose to run the voice

00:02:29
through a Leslie speaker.

00:02:31
That's an interesting choice.

00:02:33
Well, we revoiced it too, because I wasn't

00:02:35
sure about, you know, I didn't want anybody

00:02:36
to get in trouble with voiceover artists who

00:02:39
hadn't authorized us to play their stuff on

00:02:41
their podcast.

00:02:42
So AP kindly revoiced it for us as

00:02:44
well.

00:02:44
Well done.

00:02:45
Yeah, so that was good.

00:02:46
So yeah, but so I guess, I mean,

00:02:48
no one's saying match mine.

00:02:50
In fact, that's exactly the point we don't

00:02:52
want.

00:02:52
What we'd love to hear is your interpretation

00:02:55
from the conversation we had a few weeks

00:02:58
ago when we did the process off with

00:03:02
AP's voice.

00:03:03
The idea with this one is, let's hear

00:03:05
your interpretation of how you would mix that.

00:03:07
Now, we're not just talking to audio engineers.

00:03:10
Let's be clear here.

00:03:10
We want submissions from everybody.

00:03:12
We just want you to have a crack.

00:03:14
I mean, the goal is basically to do

00:03:15
a better job than you.

00:03:16
Well, that won't be hard.

00:03:18
So, you know, I'm not worried about that.

00:03:22
Yeah.

00:03:22
So, but yeah, everybody, no matter where you're

00:03:27
from, what you do, you know, chuck on

00:03:29
a pair of headphones, throw it in Audacity

00:03:30
or whatever you use and have a crack.

00:03:32
Just have a go.

00:03:34
It'll be judged.

00:03:35
I don't know what we'll judge it on,

00:03:37
but it'll be judged on something that, you

00:03:40
know.

00:03:40
Well, we're not judging it.

00:03:41
Well, we're going to wear what we'll in

00:03:43
association with the guys at Austrian Audio.

00:03:45
Yeah.

00:03:45
They're going to one of their guys is

00:03:47
going to jump on and have a chat

00:03:49
about the new headphones and we'll play a

00:03:51
few finalists and pick a winner.

00:03:54
I would imagine they're going to listen to

00:03:56
them on the new headphones.

00:03:57
I think we have to.

00:03:58
So if you want to win this, maybe

00:04:00
you should buy those headphones.

00:04:02
That would be hard because they're not out

00:04:04
yet.

00:04:04
Yeah.

00:04:05
Yeah.

00:04:05
Oh, they're in Fargo until they release at

00:04:09
AES.

00:04:09
So this file you're going to hear of

00:04:12
everybody's mixes will be, is that going to

00:04:14
be before the embargo or after the embargo?

00:04:16
It'll be after the embargo.

00:04:18
After the embargo.

00:04:19
Yeah.

00:04:19
So, but we, you know, we'll all have

00:04:20
our Austrian Audio headphones on, you know, they

00:04:22
just won't be the new ones, I guess,

00:04:24
but I guess what we're really looking for

00:04:27
at the end of the day is just

00:04:28
have some fun, seriously, just have a crack,

00:04:31
you know, cause it's, you know, it's not

00:04:33
brain surgery.

00:04:33
It's just audio.

00:04:35
So, you know, the stems are all separate

00:04:37
by the way.

00:04:37
So it's not like you've got to load

00:04:38
up a lot of stuff for that.

00:04:39
You just will put the stems in your

00:04:42
session and line them all up at the

00:04:43
same start point and everything will fall into

00:04:45
place.

00:04:46
So there's a music stem, there's a dialogue

00:04:48
stem, there's AP stem, and I think there's

00:04:50
a sound effects stem from memory.

00:04:52
So there's only four and a weed stem.

00:04:58
So yeah.

00:04:59
So, but yeah, I'd encourage you to have

00:05:01
a go and, and, and let's see what

00:05:02
we can come up with.

00:05:04
Now, Robert, because by the time this goes

00:05:06
to air, of course, all the stuff that's

00:05:07
happening as we speak has been and gone,

00:05:10
but you're currently in London.

00:05:13
I am.

00:05:13
I didn't even think I'd be on this

00:05:15
because I thought I'd be too sweet or

00:05:17
something, but exactly.

00:05:19
But no, we just got back from the

00:05:22
IBC show in Amsterdam and that was really

00:05:28
cool.

00:05:28
Tell us about the scope of IBC for

00:05:30
those that haven't been able to go.

00:05:32
Yeah.

00:05:33
You know, it's really, really, really heavy duty

00:05:35
broadcaster.

00:05:37
So it's their NAB?

00:05:39
It's their NAB.

00:05:40
But you know what?

00:05:40
Like one thing I was kind of disappointed

00:05:42
in, not a lot of small booths, not

00:05:45
a lot of like little small players.

00:05:47
Like NAB's got more of the little things

00:05:50
that I find really exciting, you know, but

00:05:53
it was all the major huge players and,

00:05:55
and I, I, today I finally had a

00:05:58
chance to do the big walk around and

00:06:00
it is as big as NAB.

00:06:03
Wow.

00:06:03
Wow.

00:06:04
That's big.

00:06:05
But I'm trying to think if there's anything

00:06:07
that I saw that was like, holy cow.

00:06:11
And I'll get back to you.

00:06:15
It's all blur.

00:06:16
I can't think.

00:06:17
Yeah.

00:06:18
Yeah.

00:06:18
Yeah.

00:06:18
Like, I don't know, sound devices is doing

00:06:20
their own wireless hookups and they named it

00:06:23
Nexus.

00:06:24
Oh.

00:06:25
Really?

00:06:27
Yeah, I know.

00:06:28
But, you know, like that, that was new

00:06:30
and kind of in our area.

00:06:32
When you say hookups, like transmitter speaks directly

00:06:35
to their receiver mixers, like a mixer with

00:06:38
receivers built in.

00:06:39
You know how they have their, their recorder

00:06:41
mixer and then they have this, I think

00:06:44
it's called the Nexus module and it has

00:06:46
some pins on it and it just docks

00:06:49
right on the top of this thing and

00:06:50
has all the receivers for the wireless packs

00:06:52
and it adds like a whole bunch of

00:06:54
tracks for you to be able to record

00:06:56
on too.

00:06:56
That's smart.

00:06:57
That's really smart.

00:06:58
Because in the meantime, for the consumers, any

00:07:01
Rodecaster Pro 2 can receive a wireless Rode

00:07:05
wireless mic as an input.

00:07:08
So it just becomes another channel.

00:07:11
Oh, like a year ago.

00:07:12
So you only need the transmitter, only the

00:07:15
transmitter receiver.

00:07:17
Yeah.

00:07:17
You want to, you want to turn that

00:07:18
transmitter into a, just another input to your

00:07:20
Rodecaster and clip it to your shirt for

00:07:22
like a, on camera or standing or something.

00:07:26
It's another channel in your Rodecaster.

00:07:28
Wow.

00:07:29
I've, I've never heard a, of anybody selling

00:07:32
a wireless mic, only the transmitter and not

00:07:34
the receiver.

00:07:35
No.

00:07:35
But I guess Rode must do that.

00:07:37
I don't think they do.

00:07:38
I think it's just like, because we can,

00:07:41
now we're doing this.

00:07:42
But it clearly doesn't go out the multi

00:07:43
-track though.

00:07:44
It only comes in.

00:07:46
So how's it go?

00:07:47
Well, it's another pair of channels.

00:07:48
It takes the place of another pair of

00:07:51
channels.

00:07:51
Right.

00:07:52
Where's the antenna on the Rodecaster?

00:07:55
It's probably using the Wi-Fi or the

00:07:57
Bluetooth band or something, you know, you know,

00:08:02
Rode is clever.

00:08:04
Rode's slick.

00:08:05
They're really clever.

00:08:06
I love that I can plug my, I

00:08:08
have the wireless me, which is the cheapest

00:08:09
wireless set up they have.

00:08:10
It's like 150 and I can plug the

00:08:13
receiver directly into my phone.

00:08:15
I can plug the receiver directly into my

00:08:17
Mac book.

00:08:18
It doesn't matter.

00:08:19
And then I can, now I have a

00:08:21
wireless mic going into a track and it's,

00:08:24
what's the receiver like a USB receiver, basically?

00:08:26
The transmitter receivers look identical.

00:08:28
It's like a little inch cube, you know,

00:08:30
that has the jacks and then the wireless

00:08:32
me is unique in that the wireless receiver

00:08:34
also has a mic.

00:08:36
So you can use a second channel, you

00:08:39
know, for doing interviews.

00:08:40
Like I would have the wireless me receiver

00:08:42
on my phone and that would be right

00:08:44
in front of my face.

00:08:45
And that's picking up my voice.

00:08:47
Transmitters over on my subject and it's picking

00:08:50
up their voice.

00:08:50
And then I record and record split, split

00:08:54
track or mix, depending on what you set

00:08:56
it up to do.

00:08:57
They're just really clever, you know, but it's

00:08:59
still considered consumer or prosumer.

00:09:03
Even though they have the wireless pro, the

00:09:06
wireless GoPro, I think if you showed up

00:09:09
at a movie set in Hollywood with anything

00:09:11
wrote on it, you wouldn't, you wouldn't pass

00:09:15
muster.

00:09:16
Yeah.

00:09:16
Yeah.

00:09:17
Sound mixers on a Hollywood film production are

00:09:19
hauling around a hundred grand worth of stuff

00:09:22
pretty, pretty commonly.

00:09:24
Like it's, it's a level I never made

00:09:27
it to.

00:09:27
I was in production mixing for a while.

00:09:29
I never graduated to that level.

00:09:32
You know, it just, I was using Sennheiser

00:09:35
evolution wireless, this stuff, you know, stuff that

00:09:38
was affordable, but decent.

00:09:40
And I could get away with it.

00:09:41
There's a distinct gatekeeping in terms of gear,

00:09:44
gear, brand, and quality when you're at this

00:09:46
very high level of production where every minute

00:09:49
on set costs 10 grand or whatever.

00:09:51
It's just, there's a certain level that you

00:09:54
have to reach.

00:09:55
You know, the cameras are going to be

00:09:56
RE, RED, Panavision, maybe a Sony.

00:10:00
I don't know.

00:10:01
There's a pretty slim pickings of what gear

00:10:04
passes muster.

00:10:06
I mean, actually sound devices is almost like

00:10:08
an income is almost like an invader into

00:10:10
this.

00:10:11
Because really it's like Nagra and Diva and

00:10:15
Zaxcom and sound devices, which really makes excellent

00:10:19
shit as far as the hardware, but they're

00:10:22
kind of the new, they're still the new

00:10:24
kid on the block.

00:10:25
They've been around since I got into Hollywood

00:10:27
about 20 years, cause I had one of

00:10:28
their three channel mixers and it was fantastic.

00:10:31
Right.

00:10:32
Um, but it was just a mixer, you

00:10:34
know, it didn't record, you know, and so

00:10:36
the gear package has shrunk, but the functionality

00:10:40
is doubled and tripled.

00:10:42
And now you're guys doing reality TV, which

00:10:45
is an absolute shit show of lavalier microphones

00:10:49
are running eight, 10, 12 channels into a

00:10:51
bag that they're carrying around strapped to their

00:10:54
chest, you know, like a harness and mixing

00:10:58
all that shit.

00:10:59
And sometimes also holding a boom over their

00:11:01
head.

00:11:01
So it's a whole nother world.

00:11:04
And of course everything's multitrack, a hundred percent,

00:11:07
everything's multitrack.

00:11:08
So it's all changed dramatically in the 20

00:11:10
years I've been, but it's cool to see

00:11:12
the innovations happening.

00:11:14
I like sound devices very much.

00:11:15
It's a great company, very well regarded, and

00:11:18
they have an entry point level called the

00:11:20
mix pre series.

00:11:21
So if you're on that, if you don't

00:11:23
have the budget for the two to 5

00:11:24
, you can go under a thousand and

00:11:26
get a mix pre.

00:11:28
What's cool about them is their preamps are

00:11:30
very good.

00:11:31
Yeah.

00:11:31
Yeah.

00:11:32
Yeah.

00:11:32
Really top match.

00:11:34
Well, you know, I look at the products

00:11:35
we're developing or the first product anywhere we're

00:11:38
developing with centrants and I really look at

00:11:40
centrants as sort of like akin to that

00:11:42
level in terms of build quality, professionalism, circuit

00:11:47
design, and everything, but going a different way

00:11:50
because, you know, the centrant stuff is analog

00:11:51
internally.

00:11:53
It's analog, you know, right now that stuff's

00:11:56
being vetted and tested.

00:11:57
In fact, by the time you hear this

00:11:59
very good chance, we're going to have that

00:12:01
things, those things in our hot little hands.

00:12:03
It might be available by Christmas.

00:12:07
Yeah.

00:12:07
I think before that actually.

00:12:08
Before that, it's really going to come down

00:12:09
to this first round.

00:12:11
If this product, the beta product or the

00:12:15
pilot, what do we call it?

00:12:17
Prototype.

00:12:18
Prototype.

00:12:18
It's a prototype.

00:12:20
That's out well.

00:12:21
I mean, we're literally seeing screenshots right now

00:12:23
of the driver.

00:12:24
Now there's a record and a communications channel,

00:12:27
you know, showing, I'm like, yes, this is

00:12:29
what I've been wanting to see forever.

00:12:32
Now I'm finally getting excited again, you know.

00:12:36
It's even looking at the box label and

00:12:38
stuff.

00:12:38
That's all.

00:12:39
Yeah.

00:12:39
It's very exciting right now.

00:12:41
So anything, so IBC, it's definitely the NAB

00:12:45
for Europe.

00:12:46
If you're in Europe and you have a

00:12:47
chance to go, it's worth going.

00:12:49
Yeah.

00:12:49
I was going to say there were a

00:12:50
lot of USB wireless mics and little wireless

00:12:54
systems kind of like what you described and

00:12:56
very tiny, but yeah, I didn't see anything

00:13:01
beating myself up because I did go running

00:13:04
around looking for stuff.

00:13:06
It's so hard, man.

00:13:07
Because, you know, there's a lot that's not

00:13:09
relevant to you.

00:13:10
So you kind of glaze over it and

00:13:12
then you cherry pick and you get lucky

00:13:14
and you find one cool thing.

00:13:15
And then, and then it, that gets lost

00:13:17
in a wash of the other a hundred

00:13:19
things that you saw.

00:13:21
You know, so unless you're like me and

00:13:23
you document video everything and make content, you

00:13:26
forget, you know, that's half the reason I

00:13:29
make content is so I can remember the

00:13:31
stuff that I saw.

00:13:33
I'll tell you what I saw that's cool.

00:13:35
Pro Tools, Robbo, you're going to love this.

00:13:38
Pro Tools now has a text or audio

00:13:41
to text feature.

00:13:43
So you're looking at the timeline and you

00:13:45
see the words below the waveform.

00:13:48
And if you click on the word, it

00:13:49
highlights the whole portion of the waveform that

00:13:51
is that word.

00:13:52
Like the script.

00:13:53
You can search the bin and you can

00:13:56
search the bin for words.

00:13:58
About time.

00:13:59
Oh my God.

00:14:00
It's really good.

00:14:01
Oh yes.

00:14:02
That's good.

00:14:03
I will be using that.

00:14:04
They said it won't be out.

00:14:05
I mean, it's like this.

00:14:05
It's not the next version.

00:14:06
It's not the next, but the guy was

00:14:08
showing me like the, the alpha thing.

00:14:10
Yeah.

00:14:11
Oh wow.

00:14:12
Can I use that now, please?

00:14:15
Did you guys also see that you can

00:14:17
look at Spectral View?

00:14:19
Did you know, did you already know that

00:14:20
you could look at Spectral View in Pro

00:14:22
Tools so you can see the Isotope Spectral

00:14:24
View embedded in there?

00:14:25
That's all a system called ARA, which Pro

00:14:29
Tools is, again, late to the game on.

00:14:31
That's been in every DAW for three years

00:14:34
because that's a thing that Melodyne, I believe

00:14:39
Melodyne and a few other plugin manufacturers created.

00:14:43
And everyone's like, when is fricking Pro Tools

00:14:45
going to support this?

00:14:45
Well, given Melodyne's in Pro Tools with the,

00:14:48
you know, audio to MIDI functions and all

00:14:51
that sort of stuff that they're running, you'd

00:14:52
think they'd be a bit more on the

00:14:53
ball, wouldn't you?

00:14:55
Yeah.

00:14:56
You can load Wave Lab into that.

00:14:58
Oh, okay.

00:14:59
Andrew.

00:15:00
You know, I'm not, I'm obviously not a

00:15:02
Pro Tools guy, but they seem to play

00:15:05
the Apple card, which is, we're not going

00:15:07
to be first.

00:15:08
We're going to wait.

00:15:09
We're going to develop a lot.

00:15:10
We're going to spend a lot of time

00:15:11
in development and testing.

00:15:13
We're going to make sure when it comes

00:15:15
out, it's rock solid because they have to.

00:15:17
They cannot afford to release something half-baked

00:15:20
like some third-party Android phone.

00:15:23
You know where they've missed the mark in

00:15:25
that is the audio.

00:15:26
We were just talking about that.

00:15:27
The audio to MIDI thing I find sometimes

00:15:30
works really well, but sometimes works really poorly

00:15:33
as well.

00:15:34
It just depends.

00:15:34
It's really hit and miss.

00:15:36
And that's, you know, whether you're using, you're

00:15:38
picked with rhythmic or, you know, any of

00:15:40
the other sort of presets that they give

00:15:42
you to pick when you're dropping audio down

00:15:43
from an audio track to a MIDI track,

00:15:46
I find it really sort of clumsy.

00:15:48
Talking of recording a multi-track, I assume

00:15:51
we can talk about this because you had

00:15:53
already been to your meeting and demonstration, Robert,

00:15:57
but you're off to my old neck of

00:15:58
the woods tomorrow.

00:16:01
You're going to Warner Brothers?

00:16:03
Going to Watford.

00:16:05
Yes.

00:16:06
We're going to wherever Warner Brothers is, and

00:16:09
we're showing a whole bunch of film mixers,

00:16:13
Source Elements' new feature, which, well, Dolby still

00:16:19
won't let us officially announce it because we're

00:16:21
still waiting on official certification, but that is

00:16:24
basically going to happen for sure.

00:16:27
So I'll say it.

00:16:27
We partnered and worked with Dolby, and they

00:16:31
tweaked the Dolby Atmos renderer, and now it

00:16:36
works hand-in-hand with Source Connect so

00:16:38
that you can imagine a, because, you know,

00:16:43
Dolby Atmos in a mixed theater is not

00:16:45
714, it's not 916.

00:16:47
We're talking about 20 speakers, like that's the

00:16:50
theatrical rendering of Dolby Atmos.

00:16:53
So for us, this is like a real

00:16:57
marquee product, essentially imagine a film is being

00:17:01
mixed in LA, and the director and the

00:17:05
writer and producers, they're in London.

00:17:08
So two big mix stages hook up, hook

00:17:12
up on Source Connect 4, stream the bed

00:17:16
and all the objects, which means with Atmos,

00:17:20
129 channels of audio, and then all the

00:17:23
panning metadata.

00:17:26
And you have basically two mix theaters running

00:17:28
in parallel for review and approval of a

00:17:32
theatrical mix.

00:17:33
So it's going to allow a collaborative thing,

00:17:36
cross continents or whatever, that was just not

00:17:39
possible before.

00:17:40
Before you would have had to do it

00:17:42
all, wait, render, mix, or whatever, send, let

00:17:46
the other guys listen and approve, over and

00:17:50
over and over and over, rinse and repeat.

00:17:52
Pin the tail on the donkey.

00:17:53
Like, nope.

00:17:54
Yeah, pin the tail on the donkey, no

00:17:55
I don't like that, no I don't like

00:17:57
that, no I don't, yeah.

00:17:58
Right.

00:17:58
Yeah.

00:17:59
Wow, that's fun.

00:17:59
So now it's like, you know, just, whatever,

00:18:02
700 milliseconds away, and talk back right to

00:18:07
the, you know.

00:18:08
I remember, Robert, when we did that session,

00:18:14
and you were working, well actually it wasn't

00:18:16
our session, it was the session with the

00:18:17
orchestra in Austria, when you were working 5

00:18:22
.1 in your studio in Chicago, down the

00:18:25
line, and that was like a big deal.

00:18:27
That was a big deal, and that was

00:18:28
only five years ago.

00:18:30
Yeah.

00:18:31
And you know, it's crazy, when Rebecca and

00:18:33
I were testing this, I mean, you guys

00:18:34
know about my shit internet at home, right?

00:18:37
Yep.

00:18:37
Yes we do.

00:18:37
I've got a normal cable connection, and my

00:18:40
normal cable connection is slung over low frequency

00:18:44
900 megahertz wireless to my house, which then

00:18:49
goes to my computer over wifi through at

00:18:52
least one good wall, and then Rebecca was

00:18:55
in Europe on 4G, and I shit you

00:18:59
not, we did 88 channels without a problem.

00:19:02
Bloody hell.

00:19:03
Yeah.

00:19:04
You know, and that's all like 30 mega

00:19:06
upload, download, you know, the 4G download was

00:19:10
more than 30, but yeah, we were both

00:19:15
expecting it, like, let's just see what happens,

00:19:16
it might drop out a bunch, but we

00:19:18
need to test this, and it just worked.

00:19:20
What's that Bruce Springsteen song?

00:19:22
Is that 88 channels and nothing on?

00:19:24
No, I was thinking it was 52 channels,

00:19:26
wasn't it?

00:19:26
Right, it's just, yeah.

00:19:28
Yeah.

00:19:28
There you go.

00:19:29
Maybe Bruce could come up with a new

00:19:30
song.

00:19:30
I don't know if you could get Bruce

00:19:31
to do a jingle for you, you know,

00:19:35
88 channels and plenty on, or something like

00:19:38
that.

00:19:38
Yeah, 88 channels and everyone working.

00:19:40
Yeah, there you go.

00:19:41
Everyone connected.

00:19:44
Come on, Bruce.

00:19:45
I know you're listening.

00:19:46
Not gonna say sorry.

00:19:46
Come on, Bruce.

00:19:47
Yeah.

00:19:48
I was just gonna say, to conclude this

00:19:50
episode, don't forget, talking about multi-tracks, we

00:19:52
have the stems, which will be in the

00:19:54
show notes, is that right?

00:19:55
That will be in the show notes, and

00:19:56
before we conclude the episode, and since we're

00:20:00
on the subject of Austrian Audio, I would

00:20:02
like to give another shout out to Austrian

00:20:04
Audio for another reason, for their generosity.

00:20:07
I've been mentoring my neighbor's son, who only

00:20:11
left school last year and is an aspiring

00:20:13
audio engineer, and on a whim, I wrote

00:20:17
a, because he's been borrowing my microphones and

00:20:20
experimenting with them, and not that I mind

00:20:22
that, but on a whim, I wrote an

00:20:24
email to Bernd at Austrian Audio, and mentioned

00:20:27
what I'd been helping Tyler do, and sort

00:20:30
of said, is there anything you can do

00:20:31
to help, and in the mail, turns up

00:20:34
a My Creator set, so the satellite as

00:20:37
well as the main mic, so Tyler's been

00:20:41
down there recording his guitar and his vocals,

00:20:44
and mucking around recording his dad, who's also

00:20:48
a violinist, and doing some really cool stuff,

00:20:51
so a big shout out to the guys

00:20:53
at Austrian Audio for supporting the next generation,

00:20:57
as well as us old guys with no

00:20:59
hair, or grey hair, or falling out, or

00:21:02
whatever.

00:21:02
Well, I don't think, there's plenty of hair

00:21:04
on Robert, so if we get short, we

00:21:05
can borrow some from him.

00:21:06
That's right, very Sean Connery.

00:21:07
Yeah, exactly.

00:21:09
I was thinking more shaggy than Sean.

00:21:13
Yeah, but seriously, thanks guys, it's well appreciated,

00:21:16
and Tyler's having a great time.

00:21:18
Well, that was fun, is it over?
