THE INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER "For quite some time now, I've been meaning to let you know again how much we love Source-connect and what an amazing tool it is! We use it on a daily basis and have managed to cut our ISDN usage by more than 60%. Not only that, but it works fantastically as an ISDN bridge for me when I’m on the road. Last year while on holiday, I did several live voiceover sessions from a hotel in Paris, as well as Chateau de L'Isle-Marie in Normandy, using my Source-connect/ISDN bridge through my studio in Salt Lake City, while connected with studios in New York, LA and Florida. Not only did it work flawlessly, I didn't even have to use the Hamachi/VPN. Last week, while vacationing in Disneyland with my family, my agent called me to book some emergency voiceover sessions with The Discovery Network. The closest studio we could find was an hour and a half away -- not doable. Fortunately, I had my portable studio with me and found out that the studio I was to connect with, Nutmeg Studio in New York also had Source-connect. We got the project voiced; the studio was happy, the client was happy and I was...extremely pleased. I know that we initially had some major technical issues while trying to get Source-Connect to work with my Vegas software -- it was incredibly frustrating at times (for BOTH of us) and you were so wonderfully patient -- but it has been so worth it! For years now, I have been telling everyone I know in radio, TV, voiceovers and the recording industry about source-connect because I think it's truly fantastic. It has not only saved us time and money (And my butt a few times)...it also affords us the freedom to work from just about anywhere in the world. How amazing is that? Just wanted you to know...thank you again so very much!!" More about: Jeff Bordner |

HELPING A DISASTER-RUINED STUDIO RECONNECT Ben Edwards owns and runs an audio post production studio and music recording studio called 'The Sitting Room'. Sadly between the September and February earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand Ben's studio is now in ruins and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of vintage, rare and sentimental studio pieces are lost. In true kiwi spirit however The Sitting Room is determined to get back on it's feet, keep going and rebuild. Part of the momentum obviously is cashflow and without work there's no cash. "Source Elements have been amazing, they've not only come to the party with their words of encouragement and support but they've also managed to set me back up again with Source-Connect. Within 2 weeks from the devastating earthquake I'm able to work and earn again. Sure, I don't have all my nice mics and pre-amps and monitors, but I have a Macbook Pro, Source-Connect and some headphones and it was enough to connect in with a studio in Auckland recently to finish a job. Honestly, right now if it wasn't for Rebekah and Source Elements would be SO much harder than they already are" - Ben Edwards. More about: The Sitting Room |

FROM HOME TO HAWAII "I just want to let you know about a very successful voiceover session I did, while away from my home studio. We travelled to Hawaii a few weeks ago and had a request for a session to the East Coast from my hotel room. I have the Source-Connect Standard as a plug-in on my MacBook with Snow Leopard, running Pro Tools 7.4.2. This is not an optimal setup, according to Avid I should be running at least version 8 of Pro Tools. Nonetheless, I managed a two hour session, using the "high" setting, that was absolutely trouble free - not a single drop-out, even though the system show that the port was not mapped! Thanks for a great piece of software!" More about: Bob Boving |

THE PERFECT STORM "Recent storms here in the NC mountains took out our ISDN connectivity. Apparently a lightning strike broiled a card at our CO..so no ISDN for me. Source-Connect to the rescue.. We had a large national voiceover session scheduled,and I didn't want to cancel.. so we fired up Source Desktop.. and Source-Connect...THEN we contacted Steve at Out-Of-Hear..and he bridged us to the studio in California so they literally didn't realize that our ISDN was out of service. Steve connected them using Layer 2-128, and we used the medium-mono setting.. perfect! Seriously this is not only the best alternative to costly ISDN codecs, it is becoming my favorite way to do sessions. Finally.. and quickly.. I was doing a week of broadcast work at the recent Masters Golf event in Augusta.. and was still needing to record sessions from my motorhome.. Several times during the event I connected on a LAPTOP using a G3 EVDO connection.. with stunning results, and a quality finished product. If you hear one of our Dish Network TV spots..you hear the sound of Source-Connect.. again FLAWLESS. Thanks for a superb product! " More about: Jeff Laurence |

ISDN BRIDGING FROM EGYPT "Having Source-Connect Standard cemented my relationship with a very good and longstanding client in Texas. Usually when traveling I have to find a studio that has ISDN. However those days are now over. While traveling in Egypt and Israel a few weeks ago, I used a bridging service in Los Angeles (Steve Nafshun) to connect the ISDN studio in Texas, to my mobile studio and Source-Connect, in my hotel in Egypt. It was phenomenal. Not only was I ecstatic to provide for my family in a cool way, but the client was happy. So in closing, I recommend Source-Connect Standard to VO talent, producers, and production companies, that have not bought ISDN yet, because of all of the associated costs. You'll not only be doing ISDN sessions (with a bridge), but ISDN-like sessions, when you have someone on the other end with Source-Connect. Thanks again." More about: Alex Verde |
