George Whittam is a techie's techie.  He's also a great guy, a voice-actor (when he wants to be), and about as sharp as they come with the artistry of audio engineering.

His latest newsletter is a treasure trove of ideas, contacts, important dates and solutions.  Please read and make contact with him if you're so moved. 

I especially love the service ERS provides in checking to see if your travel location (hotel) will be able to handle your ISDN needs.  Great idea!… but of course, you need to be a subscriber.

Link to his blog and read it…you'll learn a bunch!

The Don LaFontaine Celebration of Life Tribute DVD is now available through donation from ERS.  Our very own George Whittam handled production sound mixing for the live event.

taxNamba Gear bags protect your travel kit, while remaining light and versatile
Namba logoNamba
Gear bags come in 5 versions, and the largest will swallow just about
everthing you'd need to take on the road to record, and probably a
change of clothes as well.  We've sold a Big Namba fully outfitted as a
VO2GO to Kiff Vanden Heuvel, who immediately took it on a business trip
to stay connected with his clients.  Vanessa Marshall has the Lil'
Namba, and it holds everything she needs for VO while traveling, even
her HP portable printer! 

The bags are reasonably priced
starting at $35 for the Personal Stash bag up to $150 for the Big
Namba.   With several color choices, the bags feature myriad pockets
and compartments, all within the dense foam padded outer shell. 
Check out our store
for the full selection.  We can usually ship it within 24 hours of your
order, as their warehouse is right in our neighborhood! 


coverERS introduces the Console Cover & Copy Cradle, AKA "C4"
Doesn't
it drive you NUTS when there's a problem in your recording studio you
just can't figure out?  You guess it must be one of those knobs or
buttons on your mixing console, it's just so easy for one of them to
get screwed up.  Or maybe one of the "kids" got into your booth and
couldn't resist the urge to twist some knobs.  You call in your studio
technician, who promptly turns a knob and hands you an invoice, and you
slap your forehead. 
minme worhshop
We
came up with a product that any studio user who's ever run into that
situation, or would love to avoid it ever happening, will surely find
useful and cost effective.  The Console Cover & Copy Cradle (C4) is just the thing!  Custom fabricated to fit your mixer, the C4 serves several useful purposes:
  1. The
    C4 covers up all of the knobs that you just don't need to adjust on a
    regular basis, leaving only the fader knobs or sliders and mute buttons
    accessible.
  2. It is constructed of attractive clear acrylic so you can see the console's meters. 
  3. It acts as a dust cover to keep dust from accumulating between all of the knobs. 
  4. It features an integrated copy stand with a deep lip to hold pages of copy securely. 
  5. The C4 tilts forward easily to provide access to the covered knobs, in case an odd adjustment must be made. 

The
C4 can a also be configured without the copy stand portion for those
who don't position their mixer at the mic position.  Prices start at
$80 for the non-copy stand version, and $150 with copy holder.  Photos and order link now available. 

supportERS makes it easier for traveling Source Connect users with a new service
Free for all Premium Service and SMS subscribers!
Next
time you make your travel plans, contact ERS first.  We'll check ahead
with the hotel's IT department to ensure that your Source Connect or
AudioTX software WILL WORK with their network when you arrive. 
Sometimes the hotel has a firewalls or proxy
setup on their Internet connection to protect their network, but render
your Source Connect software crippled.  We'll make sure that when you
book your room, the Internet connection will be configured to work
properly, painlessly.  If we think you'll run into problems, we'll let
you know immediately so you can plan accordingly.
