Scott Kirsner (via his CinemaTech weblog) wrote an article in the New York Times about the new crop of video-sharing sites that have appeared recently: Now Playing: Your Home Video. [Via iMovie Visual QuickStart Guide] .< 2:15:08 PM  >How to beat iTunes. One way for record companies to beat iTunes and the KaZaas of the world is to simply improve their product. A while ago I picked up Ben Folds' Songs for Silverman on "DUALDISC," which means one side of the disc is in traditional cd format and the other side is in DVD-Audio. The DVD-A side provides some video as well as directly channeling the music into 5.1 sound. The disc sounds great. The 5.1 sound is sweet if you have a system, and the video is interesting. I don't see any real reason to pay $12 for a cd at Best Buy or Amazon if I can download it on iTunes for $9.99 from my house, but I'll pay for the added value. The marginal cost of adding a DVD-Audio can't be too high; more record companies should release products like this. Just imagine how great Smashmouth would sound in surround.

The students will listen to microphones by Neumann, Sennheiser, AKG, BLUE, sE Electronics, and M-Audio. |
