Well, I just got the Apollo and now I understand the hype. But I'm a hoarder so my SSL isn't going anywhere XD

Reaper is pretty awesome. The license is very reasonable but the free trial is out of this world! That's why I always recommend it.
Audacity isn't bad but it's just not as powerful or as detailed. For most VO it's perfectly fine though. What areas are you playing in?
A while back, I've created an Indie Game Developers Mega Starter Pack as a way of organizing my professional network & keeping track of my fav #gamedevs & #indiedevs on Bluesky.
That Starter Pack is full, so I created part 2. If you wish to be included, kingly drop me a line!♥️👾

It's definitely worth playing with but I still recommend reaper for leveling up from audacity. Little know fact, audacity actually does have a spectral view to let you do more precise edits.
The algorithm definitely knows to much about me. I just got spam in Latin... LATIN!??
Doing some mic testing from my inventory... I might have a problem.
I'll always be team reaper, but this looks like a nice free lightweight upgrade to audacity. Still need to download and play with it myself, but thought some of y'all may be interested too.

Only a few pieces left before I can start building my next experiment!
One of several new beauties on the way for my next... Experiment. Really looking forward to hearing this one!

Boi howdy the last audition I put in tonight... Even if I don't get the gig I'm 100% sure the casting director is going to have a reaction to it. I'm making strong choices this year y'all! 😆🙃
So I have a lot of weird dreams on a good day, but last night was absolute blaspheme as my brain treated me to a pure Disney Star Wars experience. That's right, a young Jedi singing "The Dark Side it Calls to Me" to the tune of Moana.
I don't think I'll ever be famous enough to be on "hot ones" but my amazing wife brought the experience home for me to test my might. A very happy early Christmas gift for me!
Pretty much how I expect things to look as my little dude grows up. 😆
Much better than my fuckups... That was graceful.
VO friends unite!
Slowly.... very slowly, I'm finding all my VA friends I made on Twitter/X on here. If I've missed friending you, please let me know! 🥺 #volife #VAmutuals #friendly #voiceactor
As a VO engineer I definitely feel like a trash goblin picking up all the info I can from musicians and movie folks... It's had a very strange effect on how I listen to those mediums now. Anyone else found weird cross-pollination like that?
Tim is an absolute beast of a VO coach and his improv classes are a bargain.

Repurposed a gaming computer (RIP gaming) to make a functional editing studio upstairs. Because being a freelancer and a parent to a little dude is a huge juggling act. At least my habit of hoarding gear is paying off 😆
Apparently my one year old is a fan of EDM... Caught him throwing his hands in the air to my cleaning music. XD

My dumb brain read this as a like boss at work and thought... Kick his ass sis!
You ever wake up jealous of your sleeping mind?
Final thoughts are don't unless you have a backup and are ok screwing something up. A clown nose isn't the worst idea. Here is a link I found that was actually helpful if you brave it. plasmamusic.com/microphone-c...
Compared against an MXL 990. Rode is left and top. It's noise floor is lower but not as much as it should be.
Quick test and I'd say 90% success. The detail is better and the harshness is cleared up. The self noise is still a bit high for an NT1 and I noticed some spots on the capsule that looked worn. Definitely usable though. Pics to follow.
I read a lot first and it's pretty much taboo. Everyone says don't. It was easy but I'll report later if I screwed up. I have the advantage of having a lot of mics and can always replace the capsule if needed. If you're environment is clean you shouldn't need to do this but I just bought this one.
