Greetings from Prodroom North. I'm in Prince Edward Island, Canada and the good news is that the studio here is all ready to continue production work for our clients.
Even more good news is that high speed wireless is now online here so sending and receiving media files is as fast and easy as it is at the Studio in SB.
I've also hired some help in Santa Barbara to continue providing studio services there, so our ISDN business will continue to be available and supported on demand. Booking service is as easy as sending an email to me: 2prodroom@gmail.com
Or you can call the Production Room at the local nimber: (805) 455-5134 and it will forward to my mobile phone here. And since the studio here in Canada is no longer using dialup, you can call the studio directly at (902) 962-3755. If I'm not in, please leave a message.
I have a fully equipped room here for voice tracking, editing, mixing and delivery of finished audio. The studio features some benefits we don't have yet in SB. We have a really sweet focusrite mic pre-amp which tracks audio to directly to a digital input on the computer for a very clean signal. It sounds great! I'm using our very nice Microtech Gefell microphone for voice recording and I also have the same complete music and sound effect library we use in SB.
I've brought our production archive here too, so we can update exisiting production for you from this location and deliver revised production to you.
Basically, anything I can do in Santa Barbara, I can do here - at the same level of professional quality you expect.
Email is the same as always, and is probably the best way to reach me. Keep in mind that I'm four hours ahead of Santa Barbara, which often helps me deliver completed production faster. And since I'm able to finish and deliver production while the west coast is still asleep, it's likely that your finshed production will be on your desktop when you arrive at work the next day.
I am continuing production on our new weekly podcast series for the Homecast Show, a daily podcast from Los Angeles. And I'll be working on new projects for the 5 Minute Media Manager on this page.

Thanks!

ISDN is a verb
This morning, the host of a radio talk show was in a recording studio in Philadelphia, having a conversation with a guest who was comfortably seated in our voice booth in Santa Barbara. Both voices sounded as if they were sitting next to each other. The ISDN codecs delivered better than mp3 quality. The studio in Philadelphia introduced telephone callers to the program, who talked to our remote in-studio guest and the host in real time. The entire session was recorded in Philadelphia to be post produced into a radio broadcast and downloadable programming.
The technology involved here is nothing to get breathless about. ISDN transmission of audio has been a daily feature in prduction studios around the world for many years. It's the creative use of technology to create programming that I think will be more interesting as we move into the near future of program production.
We've reached a point where producers and creative talent can take technology itself for granted in the creative process. In the same way that I don't need to understand elecrtical generation and transmission to know that flipping a switch lights up a room, I don't need to know how I.T. works to create new ways to use it.
I often find that the languages of I.T. engineers and creative producers are not entirely compatible. We speak about the same things in different ways. To an engineer, an ISDN Codec is a specific hardware and software application. It's a defined thing. To a creative it's more like a verb. To ISDN a session is an action that allows many possible creative outcomes. But it lacks the American tendency to brand label everything.
This summer, we intend to install and prove newer digital hardware/software applications that allow almost anybody with simple recording tools and a broadband connection to do what we did this morning. You'll be able to create and produce programming for broadcast, podcast or download - including live high quality sources from almost anywhere in the world without an ISDN based codec. This will allow the producer maximum flexibility to gather high quality source materials for post production. The talent, the producer and the studio/post production engineer can all be remote from each other, and yet a program could be recorded or streamed in real time.
Just before World War II, the Columbia Broadcasting System established a world news roundup on it's national network. This is essentially what created CBS news and set the standards for broadcast journalism. By use of telephone and shortwave radio transmission, CBS delivered live news from around the world to listeners all accross America.
We no longer need the resources of a corporate broadcast network to do the same thing. Imagine an audio blog with 2 way conversation and live reports from all over the globe. It could happen.
When it does, will creatives still use ISDN as a verb? Hard to say. The IT engineers may come up with a new acronym. And creatives may decide that since anybody can do it, it's time to start branding their product.
