Part 2 of 2 blogs where I explain what compression is and why it’s so important.
Compression is a topic that confuses many and strikes fear into the hearts of many. Yet people like me insist on banging on about how important it is, and insisting that voice overs should at least try to get their heads around the topic. So in this first blog of 2, I’m going to explain what compression is and why it’s so important.
Helen and I are very pleased to announce that we will donate 10% of our annual profits to The Bumblebee Conservation trust. This is why.
Well, I don’t take many photos. But I still did the challenge. But not with photos.
Taking a look at noise floors; starting with what a noise floor is, how it affects your recording and production, and how to make it better.
3 audio production tips for you to consider helping you provide good service for your clients and to stop you make mistakes.
November turned into a busy month – Rob lets you know what we’ve been doing including Studio Tickling, VOX, judging the APA Awards and more.
Working in a creative industry we often need to engage with creatives from other fields and use their work. This makes the dread word copyright raise it’s head. So what are we allowed to do? And more importantly what aren’t we allowed to do?
Your showreels are probably the most important marketing tool you have, so it’s really important to get them right. I thought it may be helpful
As we come out of what has been a strange year it’s time to have a think about how Studio Tickling Tours might work in future.
This month sees the first in an occasional series where we look at some technical terms and things you need to know as a studio owning voiceover. Today, audio resolution, levels and phantom power.
There’s a lot that can go wrong in studio management. Rob takes a look at some of those irritatingly small issues.
Rob talks a little about the history of Bee Productive, and how he got to his current place before a little announcement.
This simple process can save you time, improve your recorded audio quality and remove your bottom end flappiness.
In January this year I wrote ‘a month in the life’ as a blog as I hoped it would be interesting. I think it’s time
A blog in which Rob critiques a piece of audio that gets heard by thousands of people every day.
In February Rob did a Studio Tickling Tour. For those of you who wonder what that entails, you’re in luck. Read on Macduff!
January 2020 has been and gone. I may be wrong about this, but I thought it may be slightly interesting to have a revue of the month and let you know what we’ve been up to.
We need to spend money on recording equipment to do our jobs, and we need to spend money on acoustic treatment to make sure our recordings sound professional. But if we don’t spend time (and money) personalising our spaces to make them our own have we wasted the money we’ve spent?
As a voiceover you’ll be rejected for jobs virtually every day of your working lives. Although this is a reality you want to be doing everything you can to minimise it. To that end you’ve taken courses and hired voiceover coaches, and you’ve spent far too much on the best equipment you couldn’t afford. But have you tuned your recording space?
Audio Production demands a skill-base many have referred to as witchcraft. Equalisation is a big part of the tools we have to master, so how do you apply a wizardly approach to EQ?
Rob was interviewed by Mike Russell from Music Radio Creative in a podcast celebrating 25 years of Adobe Audition about his background in sound engineering
