I'm working on collecting some sound effects for Tim Prebble's "Hiss and a Roar" sound effects library. He's put together a great workflow idea for this kind of thing using over 100 recordists. We'll each be contributing 10 different doors to the library. That's still a fair bit of work, but easily manageable. Thanks for putting this together, Tim!

I've been doing a lot of systems engineering work lately, which is funny. Specifically, I've been working on getting our Dolby-E workflow up an running. This is a new capability for our company, and unfortunately has been sitting there in an unused state for too long, as I hadn't had the time available to do the necessary testing. I've had a bit more time lately, and I've gotten a lot of work done in that direction. Normally, this isn't an overly complicated idea, but our facility is multistandard; and I don't mean simply SD or HD. We're working in NTSC and PAL, with all the flavors of SD/HD you can shake a stick at, not to mention 24/24P frame capabilities. That's no simple idea that. Even the systems integrators who installed it have scratched their heads a couple times. Right now our issue is an unidentified 2 frame offset being added to the signal on top of the 2 frames that are introduced in the E encode/decode processes. The systems integrator is going to be coming in with a Dolby DM100 to help us get that sorted out. It' nice having the right tools to diagnose a problem.
If you're curious, our systems integrator is Diversified Systems, Inc. I highly reccommend them. You can check them out at www.divsystems.com/
