Go Gators!!!

Woohoo another national title! Any Gator fans and/or alums in here?

You are right. Tim is a rare type of guy. Urban and his team are indeed a classy bunch.

If it makes you feel any better... the Gators paid for my v8 upgrade this year.

That's cute, Mike, but I do think it's terribly rude of people to misuse forums.

Imagine people coming into your home and either moving things around, or putting things down any place they want to, without regard to the fact it's your home.
That is very disrespectful. And I think when people misuse the purpose and intent of this forum, it's just as disrespectful.

Oh well, I'll just remove myself from this thread and let those who choose to be disrespectful continue doing so.

So - yeah, Go Gators, and GO REASONABLENESS

I'm a "Nole", but I worked with Tim several times this season... he's one of the nicest most sincere guys on the planet. Coach Meyer is a class act as well. This success could not have happened to a nicer bunch of guys.

Go Gators!

How did you use Sonar on a football player? Or are you talking about working with them some other way?

"Mike... How did you use Sonar on a football player? Or are you talking about working with them some other way?"

I work as a sound recordist/mixer on TV crews... it pays for all my music gear. This season I was also asked to conduct interviews with the Gators on the rare occasions that the network couldn't get a correspondent down here in a timely manner.

Most of that type of work gets recorded directly to video tape but I occasionally get to drag my SONAR rig along for music performance videos that I get to multitrack.

I never figured out how to make a living on music in my small market. The only people that even appeared to make a living were into some unsavory lifestyles. I avoided that for the most part. I worked for low low pay in music as a live sound guy for a long time... until I felt there was nothing left for me to learn and stay excited about... when I got to that point I realized I was part of the working poor.

When I made the transition to TV and film I found I could finally afford to spend most of my time working with musicians and music. For example I just got back from a load in and a system set up for a show tonight. I drove into town to do it just so I could hang out with my old time buds... I will no longer stay for the whole gig... it's not worth it.

I make more eating lunch on a TV crew than my buds are gonna make working until 3 tonight. I helped load in and patch up gratis... I still love the music and the craft.

Tomorrow, I'll record an traditional Irish Band with SONAR... they're excited to pay me... but they'll have to wait until I bother to send a bill... If I like what they do I'll do it for the love of the craft and let them pay what makes them feel proud... but I really just want to help our area music scene and fill a hole that wasn't there when I was coming up. I worked really hard to be in a position to do so.

Next week I've been asked to white glove a live show for a local all star band... it's very rare I do FOH anymore... but it's the same deal.


That's what I meant.

best regards,
mike

P.S. Brandon, (and Billy) I hear you. I've been trying to be good and I've been spending a lot more time in the subsections. :-)

edit spelling

I thought he was polite as well. :-)

I'm a newbie to the forum so please forgive my lack of etiquette in which forum I should be on. I'm sure Mr McCue is correct in what he may have said about the Gators victory in the greatest sport on this planet. College football. Having said that I think it would be virtuous of the Irish Catholic in Mike to do the charitable thing and say a prayer for Mr. ba_midi. After all, he's from New York State. What do they know about college ball. Cornell? Syracuse? Coming from the State that has had the three winningest teams in football for the last 10 years he should be allowed his 15 minutes of celebrating in the endzone.

Go Fighting Irish!!

Hey, I love New York and New Yorkers. Read what I had to say about them in the thread about Joshua Bell in DC.

I know this is off topic but I remembered the book that my instructor at the Insitute for Audio Research in NYC, John Woram, wrote. It was Sound Recording Handbook. It was the size of a NY phone book. But it was the bible of the Studio Engineers for years. Worth looking for on half.com or amazon. But not a replacement for the Eargle book on microphones.
