We get a strong signal from XTRA in Mexico up here in Los Angeles, 120 miles north of San Diego.

Promos are basically commercials specifically for networks and cable channels and their shows. Stuff like "Tonight at 8 on NBC", "On this week's 30 for 30....", "Now on Fox", "Don't miss what happens on the next exciting episode of The View", etc. It's a sort of a subset of commercials and of...

If you're looking into coaching, consider adding promos to your curriculum. Your current delivery lends itself to promo work, and they're quite lucrative and generally self directed once you've landed the gig.

The NT1 is a good condenser mic at a good value price point. As pointed out earlier, it will need phantom power to operate. Dynamic mics use a diaphragm, voice-coil and magnet to pick up and convert sound waves into an electrical signal. Condenser mics use an electrically charged diaphragm which...

In a perfect world, a good-sized, well-treated, isolated room is the ideal. Not so live that it sounds boomy or echoey, not so dead that it sounds like you're in a tiny foam-filled box. The challenge is that for most of us, creating the kind of isolation that allows us to keep recording without...

Treating a large room will give you a good sounding sonic space, but will not isolate you from intrusive outside noises. Another possibility to consider is a recording booth like StudioBricks, Whisper Rooms, etc., in whatever your new space might be. They are a big investment, and will need to...

Lots of good responses here, and a few not so good ones. I'll echo what people have said about finding a mic that flatters your voice, and one that will work well with whatever limitations or deficiencies that your recording space might have. I will also say that I've worked in the VO industry...

Congrats on the fix. I'm the same way when something is not working. I feel like, what's the worst thing that could happen? It's already broken, maybe I can figure out the problem and fix it. Maybe I can't, but there's no harm in trying (unless it involved high voltage or something - I'm not...

Thank to you and all who responded. Amazingly enough, there are valid reasons why somebody might need to do this (mostly having to do with a tremendous volume of files being processed in a very limited amount of time, where saving as a .wav and then converting to .mp3 takes valuable seconds...

Is it possible to record to your choice of format in the current version of Audition? I've been able to do this in other DAWs, but the current software that I'm working in at work doesn't have that capability; so I have to save everything as a .wav file and convert later, which takes a lot of...

Hey Rokket! I'm virtually never here, but happened to pop in today. It's really good to see that you're still around, and doing well. It's a whole different place around here, and much of the old crew is gone, but it's still nice to hear what folks are recording, or check out the classifieds and...

Item has found a home.

Little bumpski for a great solid, reliable and versatile interface.

Great USB interface with Class A preamps, MIDI, lots of monitoring and output options. Versatile and well-made piece of studio starter or mid-range gear. Has been a solid and reliable part of my voiceover studio, and the only reason that I'm parting with it is that it's not compatible with my...
