Help!

Heck, I’ll triple dog dare you.

Linda - I don’t know how long they’ve had brown Play Doh, but I know that it’s very easy for it to end up looking like a turd.

Charles - There are special mics for surround sound, but of course a lot of it is done with software after the recordings are mixed together. If you want to read more, go to quietamerican.org and check out some of his field recordings (headphones, of course) and the Links/Resources section. You can get way underwater pretty quick there.

Cars was pretty good. Back when Ben had seen it only that one time at the theater, and got some of the toys from the movie, he was calling Sally by the name Mack. After his first viewing of the DVR-ed Pay-per-view, he got it straight.

Sorry that LC didn’t like it. It is a fun one, and not a lot of violence like Shrek. Although, it is a bit disturbing when you think of the cars, smashing into each other, as living things.

Now I’m curious as to whether or not they actually record it that way, or if they record it and then re-record it with controlled studio microphone placement to separate the sound precisely how they want to. I may have to do some reading now.

Either way, I thought the recordings were cool. The last two with the race cars were the coolest, because they gave the best sound movement.

Oh…and it took me awhile to finally convince LC that the blue car was Sally, and the red car was Lightning McQueen. I’m not sure how he got them backward, but my guess is that it has something to do with the fact that he is still afraid to watch the movie. He watched it once with some sketchy places, but after that he just says, “No…turn it off.” Bummer, because I actually enjoyed that movie. :-)

Simon - And you’d be welcome to chow on whatever you find. There might even be a Negro Modelo in there from Alvis’ last visit.

The cars recordings were my favorite, too, besides Cassie’s movement beside and behind the listener.

The last two were the coolest, mostly due to the cars and the obvious left to right binaural effect, along with a little doppler for added ear candy.

Fun!
