USB 3.0 and Light peak

Happy New Year!
I’ve been keeping an eye on the development of data transfer and connection protocols since this stuff is relative to. I know you stay pretty informed. I’m looking forward to the introduction of usb 3 or super speed usb and Light Peak by Intel. They both can be very useful in digital audio and video if they can meet the demand that many devices have for bus power. I am certain that there will be a slew of crappy devices making use of these technologies, but that it will also be put to good use by companies like RME, Apogee, Novation, UA, Canon, Sony, and others.

Tv art?

Is tv art? While some would argue that it is merely a delivery mechanism for ads, I think it deserves a fair shake as a sort of serialized short film format. American television is a little bit behind Europe in terms of artistic integrity on the surface, but it is really the dialog and academic categorization that is behind.

From it’s start, tv in the US was relegated to part of communications studies in the US while Europe with England in particular tracing television alongside humanities resulting in a more ‘arty’ approach to production and criticism with methods used in cultural and film studies.

How about them venture bros!

AES Convention

YAY!

The Audio Engineering Society is here in SF this weekend and I am going to browse the exhibits. CLASP looks pretty cool:

“The two basic components of the CLASP system are a hardware interface and companion VST plug-ins. Rather than making analog connections directly to the A/D converters feeding the DAW, the signals are first connected to CLASP, which is interfaced with an analog tape machine. When a track is armed inside the DAW, the VST plug-in automatically sends track-arming and transport control information to the tape machine through the CLASP hardware. The engineer works inside the DAW as normal, operationally ignoring the tape machine. When any DAW track is armed, pressing “play” on the DAW rolls the tape machine, and when “record” is punched in, all tracks on the tape machine enter record. Armed tracks are recorded on tape and the playback head signal is then immediately fed to and recorded by the DAW through the CLASP plug-ins.”

Here is an exhibitor list

Campus

Like many middle-aged people these days, I went back to school at 35. I still remember that first semester on campus because of the women. San Francisco has such a large (per capita, of course) population of attractive, intelligent, and creative women. I saw this quote and it pretty much sums up my reaction:

“Christ, there were women everywhere and over 1/2 of them looked good enough to fuck, and there was nothing you could do – just look at them.”
