I am sure the ban must have been lifted sooner or later.
It did a great deal to raise the standards of musicianship in Holland.
The Hilversum Radio Orchestra were kept very busy.
Recordings were done in a church at a small village
called Lunen. The traffic noise was such that we could only
work at night. A couple of weeks there was highly remunerative:-)

I have got a (small) number of albums where I can hear traffic noise in the
distant background!!

One some clasical recordings made at Kingsway Hall in London, one can hear
the underground trains going to Holborn. We used to have a break from 1600
to 1900 to let the rush hour pass.


I did some baroque recording at Petersham church where one can hear
the birds outside. We decided not to retake. It was an excellent decision
Gabrielli and song thrushes are an excellent combination:-)

My local venue - St. Judes Under The Flightpath has to be the best,
though.

I remember when we lived at Richmond, the summer afternoons
on the lawn were all but ruined by the air traffic to Heathrow. There
were Viscounts in those days (those strange airliners with all the
seats facing backwards- remember?)

It's probably difficult to find a quiet location in the UK anymore.
A couple of weeks ago I was at the cottage of a pal of mine who
is a speaker builder. He lives in a beautiful old wooden house
which was once a village school, in Northern Karelia. We sat
outside after sauna, and his SPL meter (which he carries with
him always) registered less than 10dB.

He looked at the meter, then at me, raised his glass, and said:
"Busy tonight!"

The biggest problem with Audio Engineering Degrees from the students'
perspective is that there is a lot of industry resistance to those courses.
Often it is preferred to train someone without experience who is keen, rather
than take on someone who needs to "unlearn" the wrong things they have been taught.

My 2 cents worth.

At one time that was true, but my side of the game is now mainly
freelance too, so lots of time to decorate the spare room. ;-)


Most of the freelances in my circle have more work than they can handle.
It's nice to be selective, and get someone else in to decorate the spare
room:-)


Trouble is there's a fair amount of crossover between film and TV, and the
film side is very quiet at the minute.

Well, there are a bunch of individual sub-industries and there are also a
lot of different kids of degrees.

Someone coming in here with a piece of paper from Full Sail is probably
putting themselves as a disadvantage by showing me that piece of paper.
They'd be better off just not mentioning they had the thing.

On the other hand, someone coming in with a Tonmeister from Kaiserslautern
is probably going to be taken very seriously.
