Recording studios and post-production organisation the Air Entertainment Group has expanded its activities with the launch on 1st February of a new music and lifestyle radio station, Strongroom Alive, writes Kevin Hilton.
New technical and metadata standards for file-based delivery of TV programmes in the UK have been released and include recommendations for audio track layout and loudness control, writes Kevin Hilton.
Not all television production crews today include a sound recordist but, as extreme location cameraman and director Phil Coates tells Kevin Hilton, that does not mean audio is any less important in the making of exciting and stimulating programmes.
A great strength of radio is the sense of community it creates but, as Kevin Hilton reports, sound wireless now has to come to terms with social media and data technologies if it is to keep the position it has built over the years.
