It's good to see that the University of Salford are making use of their time with the Women in Audio Visual Engineering project (WAVE)
They've done a survey to find out why more women don't work in the AV sector.
They've spent 12 months on this.
"Typically, audio-video jobs involve working at night in either a freelance role or for a small company" said WAVE project leader Dr Haifa Takruri-Rizk, of the University of Salford's school of computing, science and engineering. "In the north west 91 per cent of companies employ fewer than five people. [ read more.. ]

Legendary Producer and Engineer Phil Ramone has written a book about his (almost) 50 years in the business. The man is obviously talented, especially if you measure talent by success. Creative, almost certainly :D
My favourite book on the industry is propbably 'Black Vinyl, White Powder' by Simon Napier-Bell. Great book, great title. And Mr Napier-Bell once invited me to dinner by accident. I didn't show. I'm not sure if he holds a grudge.
I haven't read Mr Ramone's yet, so I'm not going to give him any stick for his writing. Why on earth, [ read more.. ]

OK, it's no secret that you can download thousands of plugins. Not to most people anyway, although I like to think that some people might read this blog who are pretty new to recording.
So the good news is - you can download free plugins. Pretty much every single type you've ever heard of, and then some. Stop there. Even the most seasoned professional sometimes has to curb him or herself with these things. It's very easy to over do it.
On other occasions though, you just need the right one, and no other will do.
The best way is just to do a g [ read more.. ]
