    From Vespas to Voiceovers: The Ultimate Road Trip Recording Setup

    This week on "The Pro Audio Suite," we're exploring the art of on-the-go recording with AP's road trip setup. Sponsored by Tribooth and Austrian Audio, we delve into how to maintain professional audio quality without the confines of a studio. AP unveils his compact kit, perfect for any travel scenario, including a detailed walkthrough of each component – from the pencil mic nestled in an Austrian Audio headphone bag to the Micport Pro's seamless integration with the iPhone 15. We also dive into mobile recording hacks, the convenience of twisted wave links for file sharing, and even find humour in the legacy of outdated iPhones. Plus, don't miss the unique insights into recording from the backseat of a car and the surprising acoustics it offers. Tune in for a journey through sound, technology, and a few unexpected detours.

    Silence is Golden: The C-Suite Guide to Noise Reduction

    Silence is Golden: The C-Suite Guide to Noise Reduction

    This week, the Pro Audio Suite team dives into the sophisticated world of C-suite noise reduction. Discover the secrets to maintaining crystal-clear sound in any professional setting. Plus, we're toying with the idea of a live show featuring you, our beloved listeners. Fancy Andrew making a house call on his Vespa for a special episode? Let us know! Tune in for an episode packed with expert insights, laughter, and maybe, just maybe, a live audience next time.


    This week on The Pro Audio Suite, we tackle the intricate world of recording on the go. With the ever-increasing demand for mobility in voiceover work, we dissect the use of shotgun mics in less-than-ideal environments, the golden rule of getting your setup right from the start, and the tempting but perilous path of "fixing it in the mix".
    Our conversation veers into the high stakes of recording from the road, dubbed the black belt of audio recording, where knowing your tools inside out is paramount. We scrutinize the effects of overusing plugins like Isotope, Waves Clarity, and Acorn's latest offerings, especially the trade-offs between noise reduction and the dreaded d-reverb, and their impact on audio fidelity.
    Moreover, we explore practical strategies for minimizing room reverb without sacrificing the room's aesthetics, leveraging the latest AI and machine learning technologies for a cleaner sound, and the importance of recording a clean, unprocessed track as a safety net.
    Join us as we ensure you're equipped to record high-quality audio, no matter where you are.

    [00:00:00] And welcome to another Pro Audio Suite thanks to Tribooth. You can see it in the background. Don't forget the code TRIPAP to get 200 off your purchase. Uh, Today we're going to do an unboxing right after this. So, George, you've got yourself a new microphone from Austrian audio Of course, one of our sponsors. Yes, it's Christmas early, extremely early in this case, [00:01:00] because I asked for this microphone a while ago and I wasn't sure if they'd send it to me because it is absolutely not. In the category of podcasting or voiceover. So I didn't think they were going to send it to me, but, they did because maybe they see what I see. And this is what I've got today to show you. And that's the You OC, not yet. OC 707. So this microphone has a lot in common with other mics. You guys are going to see from our unboxings. But this one kind of, to me, is like, I feel like, we should have done this last in a way, because I feel like it's the best of all the others, but all of us are going to tell us why their mic is the best, I think, right? So, OC707 is a small capsule condenser microphone. much like the pencil mic that we're going to see and the mic that, Robert's using. But it's just in the way that it's packaged. It's packaged as a handheld, right? So, why a handheld [00:02:00] vocal mic for voiceover or podcasting? Well, here's my, here was my thought. So, wouldn't it be nice to have a mic with a good internal pop filter? One. it's always there and it's always with you. Two, That's the unboxing part. Two, wouldn't it be

Now, a different kind of microphone is the shotgun, which is kind of handy if you're in a not-so-perfect situation. But a lot of people are recording and doing voiceovers from places that they probably shouldn't. So do you fix it in the mix or do you get your shit together in the beginning?

    : Got to get your shit together in the beginning. Don't think there's any question, really.

    : Well, do you want to tell your client that you're not where you should be or do you want to try to hide it? Or do you want to just fess up to it? Because I think that hide it well, then obviously you're going to get really good at whatever it is. Isotope and waves clarity. And there's some new stuff from acorn, I think.

Indispensable Resource for the VO Pro

This podcast is an essential resource for the working professional voice actor. In today’s world of home audio recording studios (Home Studios) that need to be clean sounding and deliver professional quality recordings to some of the most demanding clients, this podcast provides you with specific information and actionable data that will either keep you at the top of your game, or get you there if that’s what you need. And even the episodes that don’t specifically appear to be what I am researching that day (or THINK I need), I always, and let me reinforce that, ALWAYS learn something new that can help me with my craft. Of the numerous podcasts that help me run my full-time VO business, this is at the top of the list of my three “must listen” resources. Oh, and the format and presentation of this podcast makes you feel like you’re “in the club“. It’s brilliant. It makes me happy when I see a new episode is available.

One of my favorites
