I don’t think I’ve mentioned Snapper in the past here on Audival, but let me tell you that it has been much awaited by a lot of people. Basically it’s a cool little app that integrates totally into Finder and iTunes on OS X. If you’re working with audio in any way this could be a godsend. Audio Ease has announced that it will be released this wednesday. It will be available as a 100 day fully functional demo, and the full version will be available for only €79/$59.

If you haven’t seen Snapper yet, check out the videos (the 100 second tutorial gives a good overview of it) on Audio Ease’s website.

Personally I think it looks really good. Actually, I would love to see this exact thing integrated into OS X.

Blue are well known for odd microphone designs and this one caught my eye. Below you’ll find the press release and a couple of more pictures.

StSoft has released a ‘Ducking Plug-in’ - a straightforward, full parameterized compressor with a dedicated sidechain input stereo channel. It is designed as a VST effect for MacOSX and is specially created for and tested with Ableton Live.

While the article talks about ducking in music, it’s - as you know loyal reader - also very relevant in podcasting.
