How do you handle that moment, what can you say, what do you do?? In this episode, Robbo, Andrew and George explore th...

It's your most valuable asset when you work in audio. Your hearing is the thing that makes your sound, well... your sound. No matter which side of the glass you work on, if you can't hear, you can't work.  Voice Over artists and performers need to hear themselves and their cues, and Audio Engineers, well, there's no need to explain what ANY sort of hearing damage can do to them.  SO what is Tinnit...

Would be interested to hear about the full chain for VO, and the pros/cons of outboard gear. I've noticed most in VO are pretty much Mic-->Interface--> Computer but I have to think an extra link (like a pre) might be of benefit." In thi...

If you're a voice artist, you know the conundrum. You're in a hotel room, the client is waiting and you need to deal with the cops raiding a drug den next door before you can record. Ok, stretch... yes, but seriously what's the best way to get a great sound on your recordings while you're on the road? If you're an engineer, how can you help your voice artist get the best possible sound out of his...
