An Evening with the Deva
One way I keep my hands and ears in sound mixing for film and video production is to fill in for Trew Audio customers who, for one reason or another, need someone to fill in for them. So, when Kevin Smith’s usual sound mixer, Atlanta-based Whit Norris, found himself booked in San Juan, Puerto Rico... Read full entry »

Happenings in Vancouver
Click for larger montage photo Our Vancouver store’s May 1st retirement party for Rick Patton was a huge success.

Audio-Technica’s new breed…the AT875R
When I began at Trew, Audio-Technica shotguns generally ranked below those of other manufacturers. They made great reasonably priced studio mics and hypercardioids, yet their shotgun mics left a lot to be desired. In their attempts to hit a price mark, electret condenser mics such as the AT815A/B, AT835, and AT835ST (stereo) tended to have... Read full entry »

Even people who are not in the business relate to this because they see it everywhere; on television news, behind-the-scenes movie productions, and when passing by a film production. That familiar shape bobbing around high overhead on a pole is... Read full entry »
