    NEW YORK --

    Music and sound studio Barking Owl has opened an office in New York, expanding beyond its established L.A. operation. 

    Helping to lead the effort at Barking Owl NY is a new hire, Elizabeth McClanahan, who brings with her 13 years of sound experience, most recently as mixer/sound designer at Heard City in New York.  McClanahan has a wide range of expertise, from working on analog jazz recordings in New Orleans to mixing sound for major clients such as Google and Budweiser to leading sound design on award-winning films. Joining McClanahan in the New York studio are executive producer Ashley Benton and sound designer/mixer Dan Flosdorf, who both come over from Barking Owl’s L.A. studio.

    “Opening a New York studio was always a dream and it’s so exciting to see it come true,” said Kelly Bayett, Barking Owl’s co-founder and creative director. “When we expanded, we were careful to make sure that the creative and culture of the studio was still at our insanely high standards.  To make sure that everything is consistent and our capabilities flow seamlessly across the nation, our EP Ashley Benton moved to NY from L.A.  You can expect the music, sound design and mix in NY to be as incredible as it is in L.A. as we have picked the very best artists available and we couldn’t be more excited to bring the Barking Owl experience to New York!”

    Barking Owl NY is designed around client services and client care as well as being a highly functional space with state-of-the-art audio technology and talented artisans to facilitate and nurture artful, human-centric storytelling. The New York quarters include a luxurious conference room which allows client privacy outside of the editing suite, a full-size kitchen and other assorted amenities.

    A Closer Look At Proposed Measures Designed To Curb Google’s Search Monopoly

    Thursday, November 21, 2024

    U.S. regulators are proposing aggressive measures to restore competition to the online search market after a federal judge ruled Google maintained an illegal monopoly for the last decade.

    The sweeping set of recommendations filed late Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Justice could radically alter Google's business, including possibly spinning off the Chrome web browser and syndicating its search data to competitors. Even if the courts adopt the blueprint, Google isn't likely to make any significant changes until 2026 at the earliest, because of the legal system's slow-moving wheels.

    Here's what it all means:

    What is the Justice Department's goal?
    Federal prosecutors are cracking down on Google in a case originally filed during near the end of then-President Donald Trump's first term. Officials say the main goal of these proposals is to get Google to stop leveraging its dominant search engine to illegally squelch competition and stifle innovation.

    "The playing field is not level because of Google's conduct, and Google's quality reflects the ill-gotten gains of an advantage illegally acquired," the Justice Department asserted in its recommendations. "The remedy must close this gap and deprive Google of these advantages."

    Not surprisingly, Google sees things much differently. The Justice Department's "wildly overbroad proposal goes miles beyond the Court's decision," Kent Walker, Google's chief legal officer, asserted in a blog post. "It would break a range of Google products — even beyond search — that people love and find helpful in their everyday lives."

    It's still possible that the Justice Department could ease off on its attempts to break up Google, especially if President-elect Donald Trump... Read More
