Enthusiastic amateur - worked as a presales engineer for a Silicon Graphics company back in the day, so did a fair bit of animation with Alias Wavefront, then Maya.

Still do video editing on various platforms, as well as sound editing.

Sonar and Cubase are my preferred audio platforms.

It's not illegal to say it, but it is very unwise... remember, anything you post on the Internet is effectively permanent

comment Audio effect: loop on a keyboard key
Stack exchange works with real questions and real problems people face, so if you can answer Bart's question that would help us provide answers. Not sure exactly what you mean by recipes...

comment Is there a significant difference in sound quality between 1/4" jacks and three pronged XLR inputs for microphones?
Just to add - microphones that use phantom power are already less susceptible to noise, as the output level from the mic is higher with respect to the noise floor. So both these advantages increase the difference between the noise level and the signal level, improving quality.

comment What techniques are used to create this 1-minute motion graphic?
Hi dani -point 4 is going to be off topic here. As for point 1- what do you mean? Are you asking about animation, motion blur, panning or what? There are a range of techniques in use in this video and asking about all of them is a bit too broad a question.

Hi Bruce - that update makes much more sense - I was having trouble matching what was on that original page to the question. Upvoted!
