About Moving Microphones

Moving Microphones is a place for anyone who is interested in or is presently working in the area of Motion Picture Production Sound. Consider this your local coffee house where you can meet people and discuss the issues of the day or anything that might be on your mind. Moving Microphones is a place to network with peers or others with same interest. Feel free to start your own blogs, enter into or start forum discussions, upload pictures of interest, share your favorite music and videos. Let's make this a true networking site for the sound community. Share your knowledge of sound so that others may benefit from your success.

Like other social networks ie facebook, you can communicate between members and write on each others wall. Once here go to My Page and create your own image. Look around and discover how you might best use this to promote yourself or just make friends and socialize. There are no rules other then have fun, be kind and respect others.

ANNOUNCEMEN!!!

Moving Microphones will soon be moving to a new platform. Ning has decided to offer only support for paying sites. Grou.ps is very Ning like and is a free site. I will start the migration over to Grou.ps very soon so you may start seeing some emails notifying you of this process. I am sure there will be a few problems with the migration so bear with me and hopefully it will go somewhat smoothly.

Please say hi to the crew from me. Most of them know and worked with me! Please say I to Jim too! If you've known Brian Reynolds, isn't amazing how he lost all that weight! Please say hi to him too! Thanks so much! I hope we get to work…

Ben Greaves

Dear members - an introduction on a rainy day:

My name is Ben Greaves. I have been working in the sound business for the past 17 years, since I was 19. My father is an accomplished musician and I spent a lot of my childhood in recording studios and at live music venues. I have a deep appreciation for the creative side of these endeavors but my attention was always drawn to the flashing lights on mixing consoles, the miles of sticky black cable and shiny microphones on sticks! In 1994, I began my career at the Townhouse Studios in London as… Continue

Tough times in our business (supplementing income)

In this tough economy and the way our business is, I have had to supplement my income. I am now a representative for a company called ACN, which is a telecommunications company (backed 100% by Donald Trump). If you want to save money on your cell phones, TV, home security or would like to purchase a digital video phone, please give me a call at 805/466-1408 (home) or 805/712-3107 (cell). If you want to take a look at the website, go to ACNINC.COM or my website Birchfiel.acnrep.com

I'll be motorcycle camping in the San Gabriel mountains this weekend ...

... feel free to hop on yer scooter and join me. I'll be at Manzanita campground in Chilao beginning either Friday evening (May 7th) or early Saturday morn. Look for the blue Harley Davidson Sportster in the parking space and the rainbow hammock hangin' in the trees. Can't carry much on a motorbike but I will have plenty of coffee.

Go Dodgers!

Announcement or Latest Tip

I put up an example on my own home page so that everyone can see how they might take advantage of the text box that everyone has. It is specific to your page only and anyone can click on your name or photo and be taken to your page. One idea I had was to use it to let people know what is going on with you at this time. For example, your working on a project with so and so and will be finished on a certain date. Or, you are doing only day calls and would look forward to hearing from any one interested in your service. You could also put a resume here for people to see. Anyone that has a IMDB page could put it here for easy reference. This text box allows you to create a link, upload a file, attach an image and of course text. You can use it for many things, these are just a few suggestions. You can change, add or delete things from here by just clicking "edit" This is a great place to promote yourself. Remember your profile is also a great place to let people know who you are. Use it to your best advantage.

TIP#1. You can rearrange the location of things on your My Page by just dragging and dropping. Make it your own.
Tip#2. If you need help understanding all the areas of interest here check out the HELP FILE I added in the notes area in the left column.
