Patrick Inhofer

We’re going to start a new weekly feature here on MixingLight.com… and it’s a hybrid effort with our sister site, TaoOfColor.com.

Almost every Sunday morning, for nearly 4 years straight, Patrick has been publishing the Tao Colorist weekly newsletter—a round-up of each week’s most interesting color correction news. A sort of New York Times for our specialty, he also covers the business, education, funnies, career and one or two off-beat sections.

What are the most popular stories each week?
In a recent MixingLight conference call, Patrick mentioned that there are always 3-4 stories that lead the pack each week. These are the most read stories by his Newsletter readers. And they tend to provide Insights into what color correction lovers find most interesting at any given time.

Color Correction Pulse Weekly
Twice a year, the Tao Colorist Newsletter does a huge wrap-up edition, listing the most popular stories from the past six months. And those Special Editions will continue to run.

But here on MixingLight, we’re going to give you Weekly Updates. The Wednesday after each Newsletter runs, we’ll post here the Top Three most widely read articles in the previous Sunday’s newsletter.

Enjoy this, the first of these posts!
