Reaper, Twisted Wave, AUdition, Audacity, Pro Tools.... The list is endless, and there are many reasons you may prefer any one (or all) of them. But if you simply want to record and edit your voice overs, which one rules the roost and why. As usual,...

What DAW is the right DAW?

Robert asked, "what are the 3 essential things you need to do your job?". We thought it was a great question, and when you put your mind to it, the reasons we spend thousands of dollars on large amounts of gear seemed a little less clear... A...

What's up this week on the Pro Audio Suite

OK, so we've been on about it for a while now, but it is a big issue facing our industry. In fact, a radio station in Melbourne Australia has just announced that its new Afternoon (Drive) News reader will be an AI voice...  So, how good is it,...

MPA joins us for a general chat and some big news.. A big shout out to our sponsors, Austrian Audio and Tri Booth. Both these companies are providers of QUALITY Audio Gear (we wouldn't partner with them unless they were), so please, if...

Self-noise is the signal the microphone produces of itself, even when no sound source is present, and it's a topic we've never really gotten into on the show. So this week, we held our breath (to reduce noise) and took a deep dive into the...

We put the new USB/XLR dual output mic from Rode through its paces... A big shout out to our sponsors, Austrian Audio and Tri Booth. Both these companies are providers of QUALITY Audio Gear (we wouldn't partner with them unless they were),...

Building/Buying sound absorption panels is all well and good (as well as important) but what about the damage caused by hanging them? Screws in the wall, adhesive that tears the plaster when you pull it down, and the hassle of having to paint walls...

A few weeks ago we broke the news that AP was being replaced by one of his clients by an AI voice. It seems something we have fobbed off as "yeah some time in the future it will be a thing", but it seems it's already here. Robbo came across a piece of...

AP recently did a lap of Europe with the family and was (predictably) working his but off while on the road.  We thought it might be interesting to compare his reads recorded whist away and compare them to the results he gets from his home...

A big shout out to our sponsors, Austrian Audio and Tri Booth. Both these companies are providers of QUALITY Audio Gear (we wouldn't partner with them unless they were), so please, if you're in the market for some new kit, do us a solid...

For the past few weeks we've been tellin you about the new, made for VO, mic interface we have designed with the great people at Centrance.  Conceived during the recording of an episode of the Pro Audio Suite, inspired by your feedback, and...

The war has officially begun. The first casualties of the VO AI war have occurred, and it's not Audio Books...  Keep an ear out, as we will be launching it shortly with a limited run of 100, and a fairly juicy prize for one lucky VO artist who...

SSL has released a firmware upgrade for the popular SSL 2 & 2+ interfaces, but as George is installing the upgrade on AP's machine we make a discovery that is worth sharing. We've created a survey so you can leave your mark on what will be a...

OK, it's here... Go get it! Conceived during the recording of an episode of the Pro Audio Suite, inspired by your feedback, and argued about, sweated over, and tinkered with by 4 VO industry vets and one Studio gear creator, the PASport VO is now a...

VO Atlanta has wrapped up again for another year, and George was there wearing THREE hats, representing George the Tach, Trip Booth, AND The Pro Audio Suites' new interface, the PAS Port PRO. Built by Centrance, but conceptualized by The Pro Audio...

The Pro Audio Suite is putting our reputations where our mouths are and creating (in conjunction with one of the great Interface manufacturers) a brand-new interface designed specifically for Voice Actors. Simple, easy to use with all the features you...

They're the list of expectations if you want to work with a specific company. Usually quoting certain types of mics and file parameters for your audio. Recently George came across the Netflix deliverables list, and we're scratching our heads!! We've...

Can you use a headset to record long form Voice Over work? The advantages are numerous, but there are also a few traps... We discuss them both. We've also created a survey so you can leave your mark on what will be a one-of-a-kind mic interface...

RODE has just released the NT1 5th Generation Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser XLR/USB Microphone. It fuses the classic sound signature of the legendary RODE NT1 with cutting-edge, next-generation technology. It features RODE’s groundbreaking...

A few weeks ago we did a review of the Rode NT-USB+, a very impressive USB mic from Rode. During the conversation, the guys wondered how it might hold up to the processing required to get a voice track to "cut" in a broadcast mix, and then the...

We're working on building the perfect interface exclusively for VO artists, we're fairly certain we have it nailed, but we also want to hear from you, the "working everyday" voice actors who are cursing your current interface whilst wishing for...

Last year we had WAVES guru Michael "Gomez" Adams on the show to talk about their new noise reduction plugin called "Clarity". In a moment of madness, Robbo suggested that we should try recording something on a plane and seeing what Clarity could do...
