I’ve had the pleasure to meet Mr. Alex Lindsay a few years ago since moving west. There was so much I didn’t know about him beyond the world of seeing him on TWiT TV. After meeting him and shooting a show with him, the pandemic happened. For him, the pandemic mattered not. He and his business partners pivoted and created something I enjoy each week that’s designed to help content creators learn more about the craft. It also serves as a great community for open discussions about the topics shared and learned. it’s called Office Hours.

Every now and then I’ve joined Office Hours as a panelist to answer questions that I may actually be familiar with. A lot of the time, I have no idea as I’m not a creator that’s out on movie sets in Hollywood or someone that livestreams large productions on a regular basis. But it’s nice to be able to contribute where I can.

On this episode below, the second hour of Office Hours focused on orchestral recording and how to position the mics. It’s such a nuance skill. The presentation was handled by Karl Asmussen of Australia. Sorry, I can’t find a website or social media profile to link to him. Anyway, watch his presentation by clicking the image below. You’ll learn a LOT.
