What is the Audi sound?
I came across this video below today. At first I thought this would be an attempt of a hoax. But then again it was hosted at the official Audi Youtube account, plus it has been released in may 2010, so… I guess it’s real. Audi surely takes its ‘corporate sound‘ very seriously. Audi took almost one and a half-year of development to create a virtual “AUDI Sound Studio”. This ‘sound studio’ is the basis for all creatives, composer and sound designer to create the AUDI sound.

Sony Vegas Pro 10 – User Experience
Often we get software offered for reviews and just plain ‘checking out’. Last year we got offered Vegas Pro software. Not sure what to expect, and kind of curious, we installed it here at the office. If you are still not sure what Vegas is, it is a software suite for video. And as we (I) am more into the audio side of things, it was not quite clear what to expect from this software. We made Gearjunkies videos before but with simple ‘freeware’ software. Doing a thorough review would be silly as we don’t have the ‘video technology know-how’. So I decided to take on a ‘project’. Why don’t I, a video software user with a ‘beginners’ level, make a videoclip?
