From The Publisher
I got my dates wrong last week, so there is a Newsletter today. But next weekend is iffy, as I’ll have family in town.

In today’s Newsletter, the internet was good to us over the past week, including interesting commentary on the purpose of HDR, the unintelligibility of sound mixes, welcoming a new Mixing Light Contributor to the family, and VR. So, let’s get to it!

I’ll see you next Sunday (or the one following).

Happy Grading!

Sincerely,

Pat Inhofer
