Mercutio, all I hear is phase cancellation and drifting image. Seven channels of audio defies all the principals of audio physics. You obviously use a better system than me and have a better accoustic environment. No offence, but unless your living room resembles AIR studios then you are getting...

Amen to the stacks of speakers Mercutio. I don't like doing surround sound mixes because they are so tedious. Who mixes with an Atari joystick. Pilot's don't like flying with them either. The extra experience that they bring to a film is miniscule, expensive and usually just background noise...

Let me make this as simple as possible. The problem with language is that it assumes shared knowledge. Or, some knowledge... Bartender, if your not wearing pants, then all is forgiven. Your share something in common with the ape. Smearing yourself with tea isn't one of them.

When ever I see a bartender dressed like that I usually leave gracefully, knowing that not all of us are created equal. I haven't seen someone dressed like that since Paddington, 1985. How is the T cell count? If you were referring to James Joyce the Irish poet, my wife would like a few words...

OK Mercutio, you've got my interest. Who is James Joyce! Can I feel insulted yet. I'm looking to flame someone big-time. The only difference between playing a gig in this pub and a real one is that nobody has a punch-up. What kind of drinking establishment is this. And do they serve Sherry for...

I had to do a 5.1 mix for "The Mouse" the other day and can state catagorically that all surround sound mixes are inferior to stereo mixes because of one universal audio post-production truth. Surround mixing is the dullest job the world has ever known. I've done factory jobs involving...

You gotta love the musical enphasis of a track is now done by the drummer. Kinda says it all really. How do you know when the drummers stool is level? He dribbles out of both sides of his mouth. Or this was Stings, Whats got three legs and a c**t on top? A drum stool, to which Stewart Copeland...

Just spotted Mercutio's intelligent reply. I have a question. The component that you speak of implies RGB. It's almost certainly YUV. Are we sure about RGB? Sony don't make any broadcast equipment with an RGB output so why would they put it on there tele's when Broadcasters globally are using...

Just poked my nose in to have a look and want to clear up a mis-conception. S-video is component. You might have different plugs depending on what type of compnent signal your dealing with ( I can think of 9 different types off the top of my head) S-video has basically two signals, luminance...

Sorry iGary, but it's not normalising at all. In fact normalising is a good thing not a bad thing, assuming the bit rate is higher than the intended master. The effect is created by what is colloqially termed loudness maximising and it uses multiband compression. It's done offline and the track...

Haven't posted here for awhile and just wanted to catch up with tannin. I'm a online/editor colourist in the UK. The only thing produced in 4x3 now is the news. And thats only because they haven't got the resources to switch immediately. Cheap cameras are only now producing 16x9 images off a...

When Nick Parks collected his Oscar he wanted to turn up in a motorcycle with a side-car, I don't remember what happened to him enroute but he ended up getting arrested... Often the way with genius...

Hey P5-133XL, I can't do Tannin in drag, but I think I've got one of him snogging a bloke. Actually no! I've just looked again and it was my girlfriend he's fondling. Sorry!

I've just waded through most of the postings on this subject. Northern Ireland will be resolved by political will eventually and that is significant. Israel/Palestine probably can't get any worse which means it will get better. Also, there is good journalism going on in their now (try some...

Those among us Hands up all those people who got there little achievements badges, wore their little uniform, said "Any drinks with that" and colluded in the chip crime.:excl:
