Well, I just got the Apollo and now I understand the hype. But I'm a hoarder so my SSL isn't going anywhere XD

Reaper is pretty awesome. The license is very reasonable but the free trial is out of this world! That's why I always recommend it.

Audacity isn't bad but it's just not as powerful or as detailed. For most VO it's perfectly fine though. What areas are you playing in?

A while back, I've created an Indie Game Developers Mega Starter Pack as a way of organizing my professional network & keeping track of my fav #gamedevs & #indiedevs on Bluesky.

That Starter Pack is full, so I created part 2. If you wish to be included, kingly drop me a line!♥️👾

It's definitely worth playing with but I still recommend reaper for leveling up from audacity. Little know fact, audacity actually does have a spectral view to let you do more precise edits.

The algorithm definitely knows to much about me. I just got spam in Latin... LATIN!??

Doing some mic testing from my inventory... I might have a problem.

Fender releases Fender Studio, a FREE 8-track DAW for mobile and desktop Fender has released Fender Studio, a free 8-track digital audio workstation for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. I spent some time with the macOS version today, and I was genuinely impressed b...

I'll always be team reaper, but this looks like a nice free lightweight upgrade to audacity. Still need to download and play with it myself, but thought some of y'all may be interested too.

Only a few pieces left before I can start building my next experiment!

One of several new beauties on the way for my next... Experiment. Really looking forward to hearing this one!

Boi howdy the last audition I put in tonight... Even if I don't get the gig I'm 100% sure the casting director is going to have a reaction to it. I'm making strong choices this year y'all! 😆🙃

So I have a lot of weird dreams on a good day, but last night was absolute blaspheme as my brain treated me to a pure Disney Star Wars experience. That's right, a young Jedi singing "The Dark Side it Calls to Me" to the tune of Moana.

I don't think I'll ever be famous enough to be on "hot ones" but my amazing wife brought the experience home for me to test my might. A very happy early Christmas gift for me!

Pretty much how I expect things to look as my little dude grows up. 😆

Much better than my fuckups... That was graceful.

VO friends unite!

Slowly.... very slowly, I'm finding all my VA friends I made on Twitter/X on here. If I've missed friending you, please let me know! 🥺 #volife #VAmutuals #friendly #voiceactor

As a VO engineer I definitely feel like a trash goblin picking up all the info I can from musicians and movie folks... It's had a very strange effect on how I listen to those mediums now. Anyone else found weird cross-pollination like that?

Tim is an absolute beast of a VO coach and his improv classes are a bargain.

Repurposed a gaming computer (RIP gaming) to make a functional editing studio upstairs. Because being a freelancer and a parent to a little dude is a huge juggling act. At least my habit of hoarding gear is paying off 😆

Apparently my one year old is a fan of EDM... Caught him throwing his hands in the air to my cleaning music. XD

Need an audio engineer for your project? I know a guy!

You ever wake up jealous of your sleeping mind?

Microphone Capsule Cleaning - Plasma Music Limited Microphone capsule cleaning is something that might have to be considered if you start hearing excessive noise and other sonic artefacts.

Final thoughts are don't unless you have a backup and are ok screwing something up. A clown nose isn't the worst idea. Here is a link I found that was actually helpful if you brave it. plasmamusic.com/microphone-c...

Compared against an MXL 990. Rode is left and top. It's noise floor is lower but not as much as it should be.

Quick test and I'd say 90% success. The detail is better and the harshness is cleared up. The self noise is still a bit high for an NT1 and I noticed some spots on the capsule that looked worn. Definitely usable though. Pics to follow.

I read a lot first and it's pretty much taboo. Everyone says don't. It was easy but I'll report later if I screwed up. I have the advantage of having a lot of mics and can always replace the capsule if needed. If you're environment is clean you shouldn't need to do this but I just bought this one.
