Thanks for stopping by my RU-vid Channel with home studio voiceover equipment reviews and how-tos! Videos will be added on a regular basis moving forward. Please take a look at the the Playlists for some of my past videos on home studio equipment and recording software. Consulting can be booked via my website GeorgeThe.Tech Welcome, Booth Junkies!
If I'd known you were going to cover the new console (and how to get RID of it!) I would've bought this webinar sooner! (Not really - I've been meaning to watch it - but really glad you're going over it!)
Thanks for clarifying the differences between Mixerface and Portcaster. I bought the English Channel set with the Portcaster but I think I may have needed the mixerface, since I envisaged using it as a replacement desktop audio interface. Might have to get the thing on special and use the Portcaster as a field recorder.
This is an amazing video and you have a wonderful booth and voice to go with it. The biggest take away and surprise was finding someone like George and his services. I've been looking for someone like him for 3-4 years at least and I've already been in touch with him and GTT today! Huge find for me!
@@johnmccalmontvo it was a real winner for me. George and I already have been in contac the last few days. I did a discovery call with one of his Techs this morning, and I just finished watching one of his live webinars about an hour ago. I've seriously been looking for someone like George for the last four years and I can't tell you much I appreciate it.
You’re listening to a guy talking on his phone inside the booth and quickly realize that the ambient space is exactly perfectly suited to capture vocals on an iPhone. Worst case scenario is still epic.
George and Anne, Very nicely done and informative video. I really appreciate what both of you are doing in the industry and all the people you have helped in voiceovers. Thank you both🙂
I used iZotope RX 10 Advanced in conjunction with Adobe Audition 2024 and everything worked normally. This week I decided to update the RX to version 11, however, the audio volume during playback is very low. Previously I played the audio opened in Adobe Audition to the RX 10 through the RX Connect plugin and when playing this audio on the RX the volume was the same. Now with version 11 of RX the audio is played at a much lower volume. I accessed the RX 11 settings and verified that there are now controls to adjust the audio output volume, I adjusted these controls to 0dB, but even so the volume is much lower than in Adobe Audition. Can you tell me what could be causing this problem? I wouldn't want to have to go back to version 10 of RX.
Two of my favorite people right there! Great interview! Love what you're doing, Tracy! And congrats on the NAVA appointment! I doubly know we'll be well taken care of now (not that I didn't know it before. 😉)
I just purchased a studiobricks One Plus and had it built yesterday. I am very curious about the plug-in that you use for Pro tools that prevents the ventilator from getting into the mic.. I use Adobe Audition and I have a Neumann tlm 103 running through a an Apollo twin Duo X.
This is confused. The point of 32 Bit floating point is so that the internal bus can't clip - it's got nothing to do with your microphones. There is no mic with a dynamic range of 24bits, never mind 32Bits.
OK, thanks for your expertise. Mics are analogue and can have huge dynamic range (150dB or more), you are referring to the A/D converters which in this case are using 32-bit floating point conversion.
By your logic any mic could record in 32 bit float and we would never had clipping issues to begin with. I can’t understand how you came up with this reasoning and didn’t see the obvious flaw in it
@@GeorgeTheTech It's really confused - the dynamic range of 32Bit FP is 1528db. The manual says that the interface uses stacked converters, so that whatever your input SPL, the converter will always be able to match it. It has nothing to do with floating point resolution in the slightest, and certainly absolutely nothing to do with the dynamic range of mics or interfaces. Floating Point maths relates to the extra dynamic range required to represent wide ranges of combined audio leaving audio processes inside DAWs.
Being able to adjust the polar pattern is awesome. I'm going to have to look into that one more. That tiny figure 8 mic is interesting too. I think figure 8 is too often overlooked in VO. It's not just for two sources but can really help reject reflections in a booth because it's much tighter than cardioid, just treat the back well. Don't forget the MK4 as well. Sounds very close to an 87. Sennheiser is winning. Did he mention a price for that new dual-output mic?
@George The Tech I must have chatted with you before I visited the Sennheiser booth. I ended up buying the 8060 after I got home. Super amazing mic that I'll replace my 416 with.
Fascinating-thanks George and David! I’ve been using C-Suite happily for a while but didn’t realize the effects were mutually exclusive, because it does allow you to tinker with both dials at the same time. Will need to make an appointment, GTT!😂
That's quite a random list of gear, and if I did I'd have a video on them by now :) HypeMic sounds great with the hype parts off, turn on only for Podcasting. The Axino at the current price amzn.to/4cz9uM5 looks like an incredible deal for a Podcaster, not so sure if it's up to the scrutiny of picky studio engineers (jury is out). The Procast Mio looks woefully outdated with a USB-mini jack from the 2010's, and not at all in the same class as the others.
So great I am ordering once my new booth comes in June ! Super stoked. I did have a question about the addition of base traps some small ceiling or some wooden corner ones. Do you think that will mess up the sound of this kit in the booth? Or do you think scratching basetraps with this set up? Booth size about the same as in this video.
These replace the need for almost any actors to install any corner "bass traps". As for "wooden corner ones" I'd have to see what model you're looking in to.
Hi George, this is great! But I'm not getting any results for this question (search bar in the transcript box): "What's the best fabric to cover rockwool panels?" Is that because I'm asking in the wrong place or because those answers aren't uploaded yet?
Yes, but I'd certainly want to listen to the audio you're getting from your SB booth before recommending anything. It's very mic choice/placement/technique dependent.
Great job, George. Anything you can do to work in more photo or video detail will increase the number of people who relate to the need and to your service as the solution.
Thanks so much. Motivation for me! I would love to be on a mobile game that my great nieces, nephews and future grandchildren hear every day! Continued success on all levels to both of you! 😄
If you really travel a lot (by plane, train, boat), alone (nobody helps you move big luggage), if you need to practice every day even in a limited space, if you often give concerts, then this is definitely not expensive. Yes, for the same price you can get a big digital piano that will have some extra features. But it won't be this portable and compact. The purpose of this piano is just to BE COMPACT AND PORTABLE, those are its primary benefits that one buys it for. If you sit in your recording studio all day and go play on a stage somewhere once in a while, then of course it's pointless and you're better off buying another instrument. But I certainly don't think the target audience for this instrument is small.
This is just an inspiration from moduler tech Lumi Keys by Roli. All credits to the real inventor. But this one not affordable to all. That's the difference.
