Dear Mr. Weiss.
At your suggestion, I have contacted the CEO of Blobby’s Ice Cream.
By a curious coincidence he plays several rounds of golf per day with the CEO of Panasonic and mentioned your case to him while lining up a nasty chip shot to the 15th green at Pine Valley this morning.
I am disappointed to relate that all did not go as planned. Mr. Panasonic was so incensed at being compelled to face the incompetence of his corporate lackeys during his leisure hours that he suffered a severe episode of spontaneous human combustion. Since he was standing near the pin, irreparable damage was suffered by the green and this has resulted in a massive lawsuit being filed by Pine Valley Golf Course against YOU PERSONALLY.
I will complain to the head of legal affairs at Pine Valley on your behalf.
Sincerely,
Harry.

Try “SecretHQ” in Culver City, speak with Greg and say that Harry sent you. Here’s the number: 323 677 2092
He’s done the digital mastering on at least three low budget independent features for me. If he can’t do it, then give me a ring 323 345 1124 and I’ll do it. It doesn’t sound massively complicated.
Best
Harry.

Mr. Weiss,
It may be that you have done the following, but here goes:
When I have any form of customer service problem I find out the name and address of the CEO of the company and write to that person. I send a mailed letter to head office – the US head office, not the local state one.
I find that a short and obsequious mailed letter which I always conclude with the sentence: “I am surprised that a company with the fine reputation of Blobby’s Ice Cream should be so remiss in their treatment of their loyal customers”, has an almost instantaneous effect.
You will, in my experience, find that your complaint has then been “elevated to executive level” and, with few exceptions, the response I have received with this cunning ruse is immediate.
Just a thought.
You should be aware that I am a serial complainer – particularly when it comes to bad projection in movie theaters, for which there is really no excuse – particularly at places like “The Arclight” which, although making a great to-do about their supposed superior projection, have machines which are poorly serviced and the crossboxes are in such bad shape that the image jiggles around worse than your local AMC.
So, keep up the good work kick these bums around.
I do advise writing a paper letter because these people are then compelled to do something about it – minimally to file it away(!), which is better than hitting the delete button as a response to your passionate emails.
Best wishes.
Don’t let them get away with it.
Yours, swimming in resentful hate of numb authority figures,
Passionately,
Harry.

Try Graeme Nattress’ free plugin “Earthquake” and fiddle around with the settings.

I strongly suggest Graeme Nattress’ “Earthquake” plugin with appropriate rumbling sound FX. Used with discretion, this should result in the interesting effect of the few pedestrians remaining oblivious to the onset of their doom.
Hope this helps.

They did a good job for me, efficiently and a remarkably low cost.

And you are sure that the key itself is not dead? I had a modifier key die on me once. It took me forever to work out what was wrong.

I really do want to stick up for Christopher on this issue. I’ve purchased his titles plugin and the repair package and, since I only do titles once a year, I have usually forgotten how to work his plug in so I email him.
He is always unfailingly courteous and I have been fortunate to have received “same hour” replies from him, despite the fact that I believe he is on the other side of the planet.
He’s one of the good guys.
Plus he’s an indie.
Has anyone managed to get a same-hour response from Apple or from G-Tech or from ….?
Harry.

Oops.
My mistake. I’m glad you corrected me or our poor friend could have been in a mess.
I know that FCP isn’t exactly the standard bearer in audio, but I’ve found that it’s been good enough for three features over the last three years and they all passed Q.C. for sound.
All the best,
Harry.

Put the FCP audio compressor filter on it.
If the compression isn’t enough at the default setting, increase it to ratio “2:1”.
This will have the immediate effect of apparently lowering the volume of your sound, but if you then raise the volume, you will hear that it is compressed. I believe the default value, from memory is 3:1.
AS I said, if that isn’t enough for you – and it sorta should be – then try 2.5: 1 or 2:1.
Harry.
