I’ve just watched these 2 video from HDFilmtools.com. Actually there should be 3 parts of this interview but there’re only 2 so far. It’s Matthew Wood, Supervising Sound Editor at Skywalker Sound, talked about his career.

I got this link from @theaudiogeek on Twitter. It’s the official announcement from Avid that they will not exhibit at AES 2009. Avid explains they aren’t about to depart permanently from AES nor other trade shows. They decide not to exhibit only AES 2009.

One of my friend who studies game programming introduced FMOD to me about a year ago. It’s a middleware for audio integration into game, something to bridge the gap between sound designer and audio programmer for game.

There were many signs in audio-gear industry for the new way of marketing, such as NI departed from trade show and attendance decreasing in Summer NAMM’09. It seems like everything is going on-line. Now NI announces everything on their website, including new product and promotion. Roland is also heading this way.

This is the upcoming Steve Vai’s concert film, Where The Wild Things Are, which will be released on Sep 29, 2009. It is hi-def 720p with 5.1 surround sound. Personally, I’m not a fan of Steve Vai’s music. But I realize his performance is great and his skill is godlike. What I like most in Steve Vai is his sense of sound design.
