Those Pesky room resonances and how to deal with them..

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/11/22

According to Wikipedia, Room modes are the collection of resonances that exist in a room when the room is excited by an acoustic source such as a loudspeaker. These resonances affect the low-frequency low-mid-frequency response of a sound system in the room and are one of the biggest obstacles to accurate sound reproduction.In this episode, we use AP's new Tri Booth to show examples and talk about ways of dealing with these pesky frequencies...

Mic Placement, how to get it right

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/11/15

Microphone placement is critically important to acoustic quality during live performances and recordings. Microphone placement alone contributes to around 20% of the overall sound while the person, instrument, setting, and microphone choice contributes to around 50%, 20%, and 10% of the overall sound respectively.In this episode, we take a look at different ways to get it right..

The Presonus Revelator Review

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/11/08

More than a USB microphone, Revelator features compressors and EQs modelled on world-class analogue processors. An independent reverb bus lets you add just the right amount of shimmer to your sound, and two stereo loopback channels make it easy to add backing tracks and more. Revelator is the ultimate microphone for streaming and for recording solo musicians. This week we take a closer look...

How much is too much for "On Call"?

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/11/01

SO after a week from hell, Robbo reflected on some of what he had put a VO buddy of his through in terms of late scripts and "extra" sessions. Whilst his mate was happy to oblige, what happens when you don't have a relationship with the artist, and you are asking for more than was originally agreed to. Where do you draw the line?

The Tri Booth Road Test

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/10/25

The blurb on the website promises the following when it comes to the Tri-Booth.."The Tri-Booth is ideal for recording artists who need an affordable professional home/mobile studio for auditions and broadcast. You provide the mic, interface, computer, a quiet space and the talent, we provide the rest. The entire unit packs down into its large duffel bag for storage or light travel."But does it stack up? AP has his hands on one and put it through its paces.

Matching a Mic and Pre..

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/10/04

We wring our hands and tap our fingers when it comes to making a decision on the Mic we are about to spend a large chunk of cash on for our studio. But when it comes to the Mic Pre, we sometimes don't spend as much time procrastinating. Truth is, a pre can colour the sound of your audio more than the mic. In this episode, we check out a few pre's and the way they taint the mics "clean" sound, how to set one up, and what you should be listening for when shopping for your next one..

Mp3 - The what, why, how and when...

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/09/27

Mp3, it's a contentious file format. Some believe (radio stations mostly) that it can be used as a professional format, while others assert that it's only a delivery format. This week we take a look at mp3. What is it? How does it work, and exactly what information is lost when it "compresses" the audio... We also discuss when it's appropriate to use it, and when you should most likely stick to a more lossless format.

Digital clipping and popping. What causes it, and how...

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/09/20

Robbo recently received a file from a "Talent" that was full of digital clicking and popping. It's one of those things that can happen in the digital domain from time to time, and it can also be hard to track down.In this episode Robbo, Robert and AP chat about some of the more common causes and what you can do to avoid/rescue the situation.

Green Audio. How to achieve it.

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/09/13

The UN recently warned that Stabilizing the climate will require strong, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, and reaching net-zero CO2 emissions. They also added that if we can not achieve some of these goals in the next 5 years, reducing the impacts of our changing climate may be irreversible.So this week we ask, what can the Audio fraternity do to assist the cause?

Which Room Suits Your Needs?

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/09/06

Everyone wants a great sounding room, but no one wants to spend more on a studio than they need to. So where's the balance?CJ Ringwall sent us a video of his setup after listening to our recent episode with Nick O'Rourke and Christa Lewis. It's a room that he built himself, and is justifiably proud of. With George sidelined for a week, Robert, Robbo and AP took the opportunity to discuss how the "biggest and most expensive" ain't always the benchmark when building a room.

Road Test: Austrian Audio OC18 and HI-X65

The Pro Audio Suite ·

2021/08/30

AP makes no secret of the fact that he loves his OC818 from Austrian Audio, and I have to agree that it is a beautiful match to his warm tones. But at $1200 USD it's not exactly a bargain.So what about its little brother the OC18 ($850)? Not quite as many bells and whistles, but is it even in the same league? AP has one in his hot little hands so we aim to find out.We also thought we'd throw him in a pair of their new HI-X65's open-back headphones and see what he thought...

There are a bunch of them out there, clones of some of your favourite mics. You can buy them online as a kit or straight from the designer. But do they stack up to the real deal, and are they worth the $? This week we take a look!
