Thank you Doug – for your reply and all of your contributions to The Cow.

I support being risk averse – it seems like being open to the harsh realities of drive failures. Now I’m working on adding off-site backup, and that’s where the iDrive service comes in. It seems very convenient, and semi-automated which is a plus. But an issue may be that the upload/download speeds are too slow to be useful with the kind of big files that FCP Libraries can become – to be determined…

There’s a lot that I don’t know about audio, but your point is excellent, and it’s the one that I’m familiar with. I had a long run as a crew member on big TV and movie shoots (Prop / Set Dresser), where getting clean sound is a priority. I probably spent months of cumulative time being silent after they yelled “rolling sound!”

Thanks Chris – Izotope is new to me. Sounds really good!

[Jon Oshima]

Thanks – that’s interesting Chris. I’m curious what technology you use for the processes you mention (isolation, voice denoise, de-wind). I’m not an audio pro – I came over here with a question from the Final Cut forum!

From their website, Cedar looks like it has the answers to my question “what is the best post-production ambient noise reduction technology?”. Of course talk (or a website) is cheap. But I bet their software isn’t! If you hear of a company that uses their tech and will do work on an “outside” project please let me know. I might be able to afford that.

Thank you Ty! Between you and John I now have my work cut out for me. I like the “sound” of multiple passes….

[Jon Oshima]

Thank you John. Sometimes I hate the internet, but at this moment I’m loving it for connecting me so easily to someone as experienced and thoughtful as you!

Thank you Jeremy!
