Micro HD Microphone?!?!? WAAAH???

What the farggin hell is an "HD" microphone. I swear "HD" is the new fool-the-masses-into-buying-a-regular-product-by slapping-a-fancy-label-on-it buzz term. You know like 'extreme' used to be...

Anywho, Gizmodo found this little gem of a product, The Akustica HD Digital Microphone. A tiny little peice of kit for cellphones and laptops. Now those of us that record for a living will now be assaulted by even crappier recordings from the masses "But my labtop has a HACHE DEE micro mic, it must sound gud".

The good though?

Apparently this is designed around the idea of VOIP, and supposedly wont interfere with ... well anything. Put it next to a wifi antennae, BT, LCD, etc, and you should still have clear audio.

I'm so sick of "HD" ...

Welcome Back Audio Guy!

Hey all!
Man it's been AGES! I Know!
I've finally replaced my laptop. I found a great deal on an IBM T30, and threw in a wireless card, so I'm back up and mobile. I was expecting a total beater, but this little P4 is turning out to be a decent little mobile recording rig (with a firewire card and my M-A FW410). That and man this thing is quiet (as compared to my old HP Omnibook, whew jet engine). Gotta love the build quality of the old IBM's...

So in personal news, I just wrapped recording on two independent short films, and a cd of poetry for Alzheimer's patients (for charity) on top of my agency duties. I've been hopping!

So anywho, I can't promise that I'll be back to posting every day, but I am hoping to keep updating at least 2-3 times a week as news comes in. someaudioguy some audio guy blogging voice over recording laptop voice acting demo auditions
