Don't Flush! I spent some time working with a new non-profit radio network that had a LOT of cash but few people who knew much about radio. They build a studio in a major metro area that looked like something from a starship (and far nicer than some very profitable stations I had worked for)...

I do a lot of work for for non-profits and usually the recording areas are not great. To state the obvious, studio mics are for use in real studios with sound treaments, performance mics are better elsewhere. I tried using some nice "classic" Electrovoice studio mics in a room with a big...

In an ad by Tony Maserati (know for his "mixes" and gear) he said "If it sounds right, it is right." If you are making a living with no complaints, you can play with it, but don't change much! Jack Socha (non-musician, audiobook author, talk radio producer since 1980.).

Could be. I have a mouse plugged in and a USB mic. I'm getting another (used) S3 with a docking station.

I use a Microsoft Surface 3 tablet. Responsive and dead quiet.

I do not do music, but have done hundreds and hundreds of 1 hour prerecorded "talk" shows, starting back when an "AV compatible" 550 MEG Maxtor SCSI drive cost $1000 but did the trick. I can load and edit WAV and MP3 audio files (recorded on a digital recorder) on a nice old Dell laptop...

I'm happy that you are getting good recordings with you setup. But let's assume for the moment that I do have a concern about noise from a laptop fan or drive. I have found one solution that seems to help me with when using one of the funny-looking HP desktops that has three sides and is...

Some guy on eBay has a Microsoft Surface 3 with a screen that no longer works as a touch screen, but does with the (included) keyboard. It's $70 with free shipping and I'll let you know how it works out. I'm really after "time is money" workflow where I need to do a quick tag of a basic show...

I am writing on a 2018 HP Chromebook with a modest SSD and no fan. When I use Lexis Audio Recorder, it works fine with a decent USB mic. But I need to use Abobe Audition for multitrack mixing. I'm looking at Microsoft Surface or Surface Pros ($$$!). I just ordered a used Surface 3 with keyboard...

I produce pre-recorded radio shows, voice work, audio books, etc. No MIDI, no music. While I have good digital recorders and a variety of XLR mics, it is convenient for me to knock out a 30 second spot on the PC with a Blue Yeti. This way I can make changes faster, add a few needed comments...

Not the mic, it's the environment and the way it is positioned and perhaps the gain turned up on the mic itself.

Happy to see I am not alone in wondering WHAT they were thinking when the set this up as a broadcast editor. A whle back I found a guy who honestly refurbed a Dell laptop ($2,600 new!) that ran Windows XP and got it for about $150. I keep it in a case and use it for editing, as Audition 1.5 does...

Any more work on this?

Hindenburg Audio Editor For Broadcasting and Podcasting Blows It Bigtime. I have been editing spoken word audio for broadcast and audiobooks ever since I got my first 550 Meg AV compatible hard drive that cost $1,000. It was worth it to finally get away from cutting audio tape and even the...

The big trick is to promote your album. Any local papers who would like the story? Local TV? Community radio? Local "shoppers" needing a story?

"Microphones just have 'character'? Is that a good description - I don't know." Sure they do and you were describing what some call "character"in the rest of you post. But your are also right about it all being subjective. I wonder how many folks truly understand that a "studio" mic generally...

Link? "there is a totally free version called "Samplitude Silver" limited to 8 tracks" Is or was? Got a link? Thanks! Jack

I used a 15 IPS Revox for my first audiobook years ago. So much easier to mark and splice out uhs, breaths and retakes than 7.5.

I wonder how many high school rockers discovered "night time is the right time" and thought it was original and cool...
