Dear DigiNews Readers,
The recent events in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania have had far reaching impact for everyone. We grieve for those loved ones, friends and colleagues lost to the atrocious acts of violence which occurred on September 11th. For those not yet informed, the Audio Engineering Society has postponed the 111th convention at the Javitz Center, NY which was scheduled for September 21-24, 2001. The AES official statement is available on their website
www.aes.org. Like so many others, we hold vigil for those who are still unaccounted for, but endeavor to carry on business with fellow companies throughout America as a show to the world of this country's solidarity.

USER STORY
South Park (Pro Tools for Broadcast)
If you've ever wondered what it's like to work on Comedy Central's outrageous animated series South Park, let Audio Producer Bruce Howell put your curiosity to rest. "It's the best @$#%ing job ever," he says emphatically. "It's awesome." Co-creators Parker and Matt Stone come to the recording studio, show Howell the pages, and then they begin tracking the voices. Every bit of audio on the show is tracked, edited and mixed entirely with Pro Tools and ProControl.
Apocalypse Now Redux (Pro Tools for Post)
San Francisco-based composer/musician Ed Goldfarb lent his talents to the task of arranging and performing the score for the new footage of Apocalypse Now. Taking cues from musical sketches by the original composer (Carmine Coppola, who died in 1991), Goldfarb gives life to the film's new moments by recording 1970's electronic sounds using the digital tools of today.
