Harts Audition: Soundbooth Beta 2 Now Available
Cool Edit Pro remains my all-time favorite tool for audio editing. It was almost worth keeping a PC around to use it when I switched over to mac. I’m freaking ecstatic that the CEP guys (now Adobe Audition) have finally produced a mac version. Now I can finally blow off the CEP wanna-be soundtrack on my mactel. I’m still bummed that I won’t be able to use it on my G5 though…

Your Gallery – Show your art to the world
It’s kind of a cool idea/major risk for a real-world very prestigious art gallery to open up its website to all artists, un-juried. It is also very cool and a major risk to have a video section on that site. For the moment, there is a chance for video artists to network and share their world. Get on it before it gets sued out of existence or canceled due to insane bandwidth costs…
No commentsextensive resource list for motion graphics
xplsv.tv // Forum / General / Motion help list
I like it when other sites create exhaustive lists of cool resources and then promise to keep those lists up to date. Saves me A LOT of time. It is mostly focused on After Effects, but that is the tool of choice for most of us. Works out just fine.

» Waterfall Digital Photography
One thing that is getting lost as people have a digital camera is their first camera is the interaction between f/Stop, aperature, etc… I like this article because it is straightforward and readable, but also because it gives some simple explanations of some fairly complicated things, and of course you could extend the suggestions into any motion-blurred photography.

AE ENHANCERS :: View topic – BG Renderer
This shows some good and bad things about AE. First of all, it is cool that someone could write a little script that could do something as nifty as this and that the app is extensible enough to make that happen. Secondly, it sure would be nice to have the app take more advantage of the available processor resources in newer machines.

No commentsiTunes sales collapsing | The Register
iTunes sales collapsing | The Register
I’m calling these numbers into question until I get some more details. It seems pretty counter-intuitive that with Apple selling a million iPods a month (or whatever) and with them introducing movies and such recently that their sales could possibly be falling. I could understand that songs-sold-per-user as an average could be dropping. That might even make a sort of sense, but overall sales? I don’t know about this. It also seems to be counter to my own direct experience where my label revenues from digital downloads (mostly driven by iTunes) are increasing month-to-month, not decreasing.
No commentsquite-good on-line experimental video art exhibition
Expanded Cinema is a nice curated collection of experimental or innovative short films that are being hosted round the net. What I like about it is that it is short in scope: 18 days, 18 films, handpicked. It was a manageable project and a quick and delightful watch.

No commentsThis Week In Media – Episode 31: 18 Percent Grey
This is a great podcast for digital filmmakers. I particularly liked this week’s episode. They gave their insight into why Apple bought Proximity. Their take was that Apple was looking to counter Avid and Avid’s integration with digital asset management solutions. They also had a great discussion around micro cinemas and social bookmarking of video clips which gave me two great ideas for start-ups. I probably won’t do either of them, but it is nice to be inspired anyway.
