1More Sonoflow Pro Review: Two Small Upgrades CHANGE EVERYTHING!

Sonoflow Pro review! 

This headphone is NOT a radical redesign of the previous Sonoflow cans. This is very much a "refinement" product, but a couple small tweaks deliver some NICE quality of life improvements. Better still, 1More is launching this headphone at a LOWER price. 

Let's take a look!

"USB" is NOT a Type of Microphone: A Guide for Podcasting and Home Recording

I've been threatening to make this video for a while now...

There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all "nice microphone". There are different types of mics for different types of recording jobs. If you're looking at podcasting, spoken word, interviews, or voice over recording, here's a quick primer on some of the microphones you might want to consider!

EWABS Ep 192 - Audio Masters Roundtable & Home Recording Trends

It's the end of an era. Dan Lenard's last East West Audio Bodyshop Shop show before trekking out to the west coast. That's right folks, he's coming to MY neck of the woods. I WIN! HA!

Anywho, it was only fitting that we joined for an epic Audio Masters Roundtable discussion. Almost two hours of chat with some of the most knowledgeable folks in the industry. Discussing the trends we've seen in VO and home recording over the years, which bad habits just refuse to die, and answering a TON of viewer questions.

I might even get a bit rant-y towards the end. Maybe... I had two beers...
Settle in for a good one folks.



I wonder if they'll just be "WABS" from now on...

Native USB Audio Finally Comes to Android!

It's been a strange, long, frustrating, trip. No joke. I've been writing about the state of Android recording for years now.

Now with Android 5.0 "Lollipop" we finally have one of the most sought after, and completely neglected features, for those of us looking at project, home, and travel recording. I took a little time to demo USB Audio input and output on an NVIDIA Shield Tablet with the Lollipop update and my Blue Yeti Pro. It's always nice to have another option for recording, and makes Android a LOT more valuable for Voice Actors. Enjoy!
