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...

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...

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...

I have a Sennheiser MHK416T shotgun mic, with an adapter for 48v phantom power, so it can easily be used as either a film or video location boom mic, an industry-standard voiceover mic (the VO mic of choice for promos, trailers, etc.), or both. It's in good working condition, with a few cosmetic...

Bohemian Rhapsody - a capella.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyqpjkCwEI4

Looking for a used but fully functional 416. Cosmetics unimportant if everything works the way it should. Needs to be a dependable everyday working tool. Prefer the P48 version, but will consider the T version for the right price. I can get them brand new locally with full warranty for just over...

The Avalon 2022 that I use at work has started behaving oddly. On one channel, there seem to be random power spikes - the VU meter jumps around and clips and pegs, even when there's no mic running through it. The other channel seems fine. This started happening intermittently on Mondays, after...

I just acquired a Mackie 1402 VLZ mixer, and between that and my Neutrik 48 point patch bay, I want to optimize my setup to will allow me to combine any one of my mics with any one of my preamps quickly and easily, without having to recable every time I want to swap. Sounds simple - does it make...

I have a few toys, but would really like to start upgrading my entry level mic pres. I have too much bass-oriented gear, and too little VO stuff. My dream unit is the Avalon 2022AD, which would give me both the ultimate mic pre, and the ultimate DI for bass (at least for my uses). However, that...

Anybody here own/played with one? What were your impressions? There's one winking at me, and I'm thinking about winking back...:cool:

Forgive me for my newbieness with amps and such....:o I've recorded from a number of sources into my E-MU 0404 USB....I've done mics by direct XLR, mics in from mic preamps, bass DI, bass through preamp, in from an old home stereo rig to copy cassette tapes, etc., and have found it very...

I've replaced my older Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro at work with the 1402 VLZ3, but when I try to mount the old rack ears onto the new mixer, the screws are way too short to clear the rack ears and screw into the body of the mixer. I tried picking up some replacement screws, but am having trouble finding...
