    NEW YORK --

    Sound Lounge has elevated Pete Crimi to mixer. Crimi has been an assistant at the facility for six years honing his craft. Since being promoted, he has worked on ad campaigns for brands including Nike, Comcast, and Domino’s. Additionally, he mixed short films such as Moving Violation, named Best Narrative Short at the DC Film Festival, and Pa’lante, benefiting victims of Hurricane Maria.

    “Sound Lounge has a tradition of developing talent from within and Pete is our latest success story,” said Sound Lounge co-founder and sound designer Marshall Grupp. “In addition to being a bright, talented mixer, Pete is a gifted sound designer who’s shown an innate ability to work creatively with sound. When he’s been given opportunities to show his chops, he has taken full advantage.”

    Crimi joined Sound Lounge in 2012 and has worked alongside each of the senior mixers on a wide range of advertising and entertainment projects. His background also includes previous posts with the sound facilities Head Room and audioEngine. A graduate of William Paterson University of New Jersey with a degree in sound engineering, Crimi has a background as a musician and is trained in classical trumpet.

    “To be a good mixer, you not only need skills, you need to have a passion for being in a room with other creative people for eight hours and helping them to realize their vision,” Crimi said. “This job involves a lot of problem solving, but it’s very satisfying when, at the end of the process, you turn out something that sounds great.”

    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
