Shure’s MV7 – a descendent of the famous SM7B vocal microphone – was designed to overcome the various limitations of home recording set-ups. There’s a famous story in audio engineering circles concerning Bob Dylan’s 31 st album, Love & Theft , released when the Nobel Prize-winning songwriter was 60 years old. Dylan is listed as the album’s sole producer, but there’s no denying the significance of engineer Chris Shaw, who helped Dylan generate the album’s bright, clean tones. Shaw already had an impressive CV in 2001, including engineering and mixing credits on albums by Weezer, Super Furry Animals, and Butthole Surfers. But the thing that caught Dylan’s ear was the vocal sound Shaw captured for Public Enemy’s political hip-hop juggernaut, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988). So, Bob Dylan, in 2001, on his 31 st record – a blues and roots rock affair, no less – was keen to emulate the vocal sound from one of hip-hop’s most … [Read more...] about Why Every Home Studio Needs a Shure MV7 Microphone

Inside George Miller’s 20-Year Quest To Make ‘Three Thousand Years Of Longing’, As ‘Furiosa’ Revs Her Engines – Cannes
EXCLUSIVE : George Miller is distracted. Five minutes into our meeting, he begs forgiveness to take a quick call. And then, on an iPad tilted in his direction, the filmmaker watches as a camera feed from the Australian outback offers him a live view of a pre-shoot for his next feature, Furiosa . His supervising stunt coordinator and second unit director, Guy Norris, whose work with Miller stretches back to 1981’s Mad Max sequel The Road Warrior , is already shooting sequences for the new film. Set 15 years before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road , the film will tell the backstory of Charlize Theron’s enigmatic Furiosa, this time played by Anya Taylor-Joy. “Here I am doing an interview with you halfway across the world, and I’m able to look at this footage being shot far west from where I am and we’re discussing it as we go through the process,” says Miller, marveling at the technology. “It’s amazing, really.” It has been seven years since Fury Road … [Read more...] about Inside George Miller’s 20-Year Quest To Make ‘Three Thousand Years Of Longing’, As ‘Furiosa’ Revs Her Engines – Cannes

The Jurassic movies are immensely popular in China with the 2015 reboot grossing $229M at historic rates, and 2018’s Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom doing $261M (also at historic rates).

The former has been under lockdown for more than six weeks, but is expected to return to somewhat more normal life as … [Read more...] about ‘Jurassic World Dominion’ China Release Date Set

RS Recommends: Sennheiser’s HD 400 PRO Studio Headphones Make Sure What Goes In Is What Comes Out
Audio product names usually contain an esoteric combination of numbers and letters. It’s easy to sound like an audiophilic elitist when asking someone whether they prefer, say, the MKH 8060 or the MKH 8070. But in the case of the Sennheiser HD 400 PRO headphones , the product name is at least somewhat illustrative. PRO is not an acronym—these are professional-standard studio headphones. This means a few things. First, although you don’t need to be a professional engineer to consider buying a pair, the audio quality, depth and transparency of the 400 PROs will significantly upgrade your studio set-up. Second, the 400 PROs are designed to be used in the studio (or your closest equivalent) and not on the go. The attached cable has a 3.5 mm jack plug (and a 6.3 mm adapter), so there’s nothing to stop you using them elsewhere. But open ear cups are integral to the design, meaning these headphones are not equipped to block out background noise. Third, the 400 PROs are … [Read more...] about RS Recommends: Sennheiser’s HD 400 PRO Studio Headphones Make Sure What Goes In Is What Comes Out
Livestreaming Is Here to Stay – Getting started with Shure’s MV88+ Video Kit
Livestreaming is changing the face of the music industry. A big part of the appeal of livestreaming is that it’s relatively simple to pull off—all you need is Shure’s MV88+. In the early days of the pandemic, workers in various industries were looking for possible silver linings to arise from the global shutdown. The most salient of these was a shift towards flexible working conditions, including the option to work from home. Live performers and event staff were some of the most harshly affected by Australia’s pandemic restrictions and lockdowns. For instance, according to I Lost My Gig Australia , more than thirty-two thousand gigs and events were cancelled between July 1st and August 31st, 2021, leading to $94.3m of lost income. But if there’s one thing musicians and content creators know how to do, it’s work from home. And so, with much of the Australian population confined to their homes and chewing through the libraries of various on-demand streaming services, … [Read more...] about Livestreaming Is Here to Stay – Getting started with Shure’s MV88+ Video Kit
We Are Waiting on Zuck
If you happen to be wondering why it is that some of your favourite small and medium publishers are silent today, it’s because they are all #WaitingOnZuck. Kicking off today, the #WaitingOnZuck campaign is spearheaded by Decade of Action and is in direct response to last year’s News Media Bargaining Code, which was signed into law in February of 2021. The News Media Bargaining Code resulted in Facebook blocking news from local publishers as they continued to oppose the law, which would require designated tech platforms to strike commercial deals with Australian publishers that recognised the value of the content those publishers provided the platforms. Though Facebook ( Meta ) has indeed agreed to some commercial deals, they have refused to negotiate with most of Australia’s independent and small publishers. As the #WaitingOnZuck campaign explains, “this risks the slow demise of meaningful independent media in Australia which gives our industry its diversity.” Now, … [Read more...] about We Are Waiting on Zuck
Emily Wurramara’s Guide to Travelling the NT
Musician Emily Wurramara is a Warnindilyakwa woman from Groote Eylandt and Bickerton Island in the Northern Territory . Wurramara has deep roots in the two Gulf of Carpentaria islands, dating back to her grandmother and grandfather, who both grew up on Groote and Bickerton. In a new video produced by Rolling Stone Australia and Tourism NT, Wurramara shares her affection for the islands’ natural wonders and the cultural highlights of the NT. Growing up on Groote Eylandt and Bickerton Island, Wurramara spent a lot of time at the beach. “The water for us is very sacred,” she says. “A lot of the men in my family are hunters, so they’d go on the beach, on the canoes, and they’d go hunting for turtle, for dugong or for stingray.” A lot of Warnindilyakwa songlines run through the sea. Songlines are essentially directions for travel held within Indigenous songs. Generations of First Nations people have memorised songs in order to reach certain destinations. Songlines also … [Read more...] about Emily Wurramara’s Guide to Travelling the NT
Jack River’s Guide to the Northern Territory
Rolling Stone Australia’s Up In IT video series began with two guides to the Top End from artists who were born, bred and maintain deep roots in the North Territory: folk songwriter and Warnindilyakwa woman, Emily Wurramara , and Yolŋu surf-rock outfit, King Stingray . Jack River’s guide to the NT is a little different—River is a New South Welsh indie-pop artist who got to know the NT while on tour. “Often when you’re touring it’s easy to stick to the plan and stay for a night and fly back home, but as soon as I got to Darwin I realised that there was this whole other world that I hadn’t been aware of in my own country,” River says. River was raised in Forster, NSW, on Worimi country, and now lives in Mollymook, NSW, on Yuin country. She visited Darwin for last year’s BASSINTHEGRASS Music Festival, appearing alongside the likes of Peking Duk, Violent Soho and Missy Higgins. River decided to stay in the NT for an extra week after the festival. She hopped in … [Read more...] about Jack River’s Guide to the Northern Territory

Racial discrimination is a recurring topic in J-MILLA’s work. Nichaloff has experienced intergenerational trauma throughout his life, but he finds solace in music. His releases are strongly influenced by contemporary hip hop and R&B, while also drawing on the storytelling traditions of his cultural ancestors. In a new video produced by Rolling Stone Australia and Tourism NT , J-MILLA speaks about his favourite places in the NT, from Darwin and nearby Marranunggu land to Kings Canyon and the APY Lands across the South Australian border. “The Mak Mak Marranunggu people are from Litchfield National Park region, and also out in Bamboo Creek and Batchelor,” says … [Read more...] about J-MILLA’s Guide to the Northern Territory
