Of course we want readers from unprecedented backgrounds to feel
welcome, They are clearly finding skills on this list they're not
finding elsewhere. Is there a list of sound recordists with more
collective hours in the field? I use Bernie's book as my intro to
film/video soundtrack text precisely because the assumptions are the
most applicable. I learned this from this list. Wider audience is
flattering and can accelerates everyones' learning. Maybe the lack of
an FAQ is making this role more burdensome. Some terrific string
summaries could be edited together. If we came up with 4-6 FAQ topics
and 4-6 people each took one topic to search and possibly summarize?
Anyone can search a term in the archive, but a reader who knows the
lists history and personalities could portray some very
informative/provoking stuff. Rob D.
