 The Science of Microphone Windscreens
Capturing professional audio outdoors can be very tricky and requires not only the right knowledge, but the right tools to help you get the job done. Outdoor audio capture will almost always see the utilization of some sort of wind protection for your microphones. There are many factors at play, and these can include the actual environment (nature of the airflow/wind flow), the type of microphone being used and its characteristics, and what the sound engineers/viewers would deem acceptable for use. Outdoor conditions are ultimately very unpredictable, so it's best to be prepared for these types of situations.

NAB Wrap Byte
This NAB was a little surprising, RED didn't have a booth again, and Freefly who makes the MōVI were also not at the show, and notably neither was GoPro who often have one of the most popular booths. But that doesn't mean NAB wasn't as big as ever. As far as gear goes, some of the more exciting announcements were Blackmagic's new pocket cinema camera 4K.

 Understanding Microphone Frequency Response
A microphone is a transducer that transforms sound pressure waves into electricity. Something that's typically not given much thought, is actually pretty neat when you stop to think about it. And in this process of changing sound pressure waves in the air into electrical current, very often what comes out of the microphone is different from what went in. This difference can be described by a frequency response specification. In short, a microphone's frequency response tells you how it "colors" the sound it receives.

 Logic Pro X for
Film Composers
It is not possible to be a composer and not come into contact with a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in your workflow. DAWs are essentially applications used for recording, editing, and producing audio files, thus, are generally the bread and butter software of any composer's studio. With the amount of DAWs rivaling the number of stars in the sky, there's no shortage of software out there that will do exactly what you want. For a long time Avid's Pro Tools has been the industry standard for recording software. That said, Apple's Logic Pro is extremely popular and, in recent years, has begun to rival Pro Tools. There are many other great programs out there as well such as Cubase, Digital Performer, Studio One, etc.
Regardless of which DAW you choose for your workflow, it is imperative to master its techniques. DAWs allow you the power and flexibility to produce high-quality temp tracks, full scores, masters, etc. In order to get the most out of your software, however, disciplined learning and exploration of the application is key...
