I have updated the dates and times (see above), so that the workshops will be 90 minutes each, and they will take place on May 12 and May 19 (Thursdays). I am sending out a webinar invite today for anyone who wants to join that hasn't already notified me. Please email me at audiobyaaron at hotmail.com.]]> Thu, 05 May 2011 07:35:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=30074&title=audio-editing-workshop#30074 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=30007&title=audio-editing-workshop#30007 Author: The Hits Man

I could teach a class like this to reveal my techniques
too, but have no idea on how to go about it. But, I think
I will join this, as it's always fun to see how other
fellow needledroppers are doing it.]]> Thu, 28 Apr 2011 23:28:57 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=30007&title=audio-editing-workshop#30007 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=29981&title=audio-editing-workshop#29981 Author: aaronk

I realize it has been a while, but I wanted to re-extend the invitation for a FREE editing workshop that will take place next month. If you are interested, please email me as outlined four posts above. Here are the details:

BASIC EDITING SKILLS WORKSHOP - Thursday, May 12, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM Central

This will be for those who do not have editing software or could apply basic editing skills/concepts to any software. I will likely use Audacity as the editing software, since it is free for anyone to download and use, yet it still is a very nice program that has plenty of features.


VINYL TRANSFERS WORKSHOP - Thursday, May 19, 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM Central

This will be for more advanced editors and will be done on Cool Edit Pro / Adobe Audition. I'm perfectly fine with anyone attending, even those who are new to editing; however, I will present the course assuming you have basic knowledge of editing, and it will be faster paced than the basic workshop.

You are also free to invite others not on this board, but I will need to have them email me in advance, so that I can get everyone prepared. In all likelihood, it will be a WebEx or similar presentation software where everyone can log in to see my screen and talk to each other.

jimct wrote: Aaron, this is an EXTREMELY kind offer on your part. I have been lucky enough to have heard much of your handiwork in recent years, and 100% of it has been both absolutely perfect sounding and clone-like accurate, edit-wise, in every way! I must confess, before you, I was 100% dead-set against EVER having a vinyl dub be my ultimate "go-to" source. But since none of us can "order" the labels to issue everything we want in wav. file quality, I was grudgingly forced to re-open my mind to vinyl dubs. Aaron goes to great pains to locate/utilize only the highest quality original vinyl sources, which makes a huge difference. He also has a God-given ability to perfectly address any and all noise issues. To me, 10 times out of 10, Aaron's vinyl end-result sounds like it has come from a tape source. His copy of Tierra's "Together" is in perfect stereo, and sounds absolutely stone mint! Any Rhino and/or Original Sound CD audio doesn't even come close to his! I would recommend viewing Aaron to any/all editors (including the folks at the labels themselves, and I am DEAD serious here) because I believe no one in the world does it better. But don't believe me - watch him, listen to his results and then decide for yourself!

Ditto what Jim said. There was also a time when I wasn't open to accepting vinyl dubs as permanent additions to my digital library, but I too can attest that Aaron's vinyl transfers are indeed among the best I've ever heard and are about as close to CD quality without actually coming from a master tape source. One major reason for this is that Aaron takes the time to seek out the absolute best condition vinyl available and I know that Jim has been extremely helpful with supplying a lot of mint, and even previously unplayed, vinyl sources from his own collection.]]> Sat, 04 Dec 2010 22:10:33 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28516&title=audio-editing-workshop#28516 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28514&title=audio-editing-workshop#28514 Author: The Hits Man

Aaron,

As another needledropper, I will be happy to add my tips
and techniques.]]> Fri, 03 Dec 2010 21:39:13 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28514&title=audio-editing-workshop#28514 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28513&title=audio-editing-workshop#28513 Author: aaronk

By the way, it's not a problem if you don't currently have audio editing software. There are free programs that have been mentioned elsewhere on the board. The one which probably has the most notoriety is Audacity.]]> Fri, 03 Dec 2010 14:01:20 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28513&title=audio-editing-workshop#28513 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28511&title=audio-editing-workshop#28511 Author: aaronk

So that I can get a sense of whether or not there are enough people
interested in this idea, if you think you might want to participate,
please send me an email with the subject line "editing workshop.". In
the body of the email, score yourself from 1 to 5 on your current skill
level, where 1 is "don't know anything" and 5 is "highly skilled.". Also
let me know specifically what you are interested in learning and what
software you have, if any.

My email address is audiobyaaron (at) hotmail.com. ]]> Fri, 03 Dec 2010 07:21:41 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28511&title=audio-editing-workshop#28511 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28509&title=audio-editing-workshop#28509 Author: aaronk

Not sure, it was just an idea that popped into my head today, and I thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyone was even interested. Depending on the number of people who would want to participate, that would likely dictate how many different sessions there would be and exactly what the content of each one would be.]]> Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:52:43 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28509&title=audio-editing-workshop#28509 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28508&title=audio-editing-workshop#28508 Author: eriejwg

I, for one, would probably learn quite a bit from this type of workshop. Though I've armed myself with some decent tools thus far...(Adobe Audition, Click Repair, AT440mLa cartridge, good sound card), there are times I end up doing a clean vinyl dub vs. taking time to recreate tricky edits. I can't complain up to this point having taught myself Audition and coming up with the perfect settings in Click Repair.

One of the things I sometimes have an issue with is fades. The key is having a vinyl copy to use as a guide. I've been told some of my fades are near perfect, but always looking to improve, along with honing my existing editing skills.

Aaron, when are you thinking of beginning this course?]]> Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:38:37 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28508&title=audio-editing-workshop#28508 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28507&title=audio-editing-workshop#28507 Author: aaronk

Thanks for the praise, Jim! I forgot to add, if anyone was wondering,
that it would be a no-charge workshop.]]> Thu, 02 Dec 2010 20:29:19 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5982&PID=28507&title=audio-editing-workshop#28507
