Flux has released Alchemist, a multiband dynamics tool, each band including a compressor, de-compressor, expander and a de-expander. As usual with Flux products, this bad boy is feature-packed!

I intended to post this yesterday, but for some reason I only found it as a draft this morning. Oh well, here it is.
Jeroen Breebaart has plenty of free (and not free) plug-ins in the VST format, several which could be of interest for podcasters. The list includes compressors, limiters and something called “multiband broadcast processing plugin”.
Go nuts with them.
Sorry for the “ad” pic, but it just states so clearly what this is about, namely: for one week only (offer ends September 26, 2008) you can buy a complete Sony studio for $149.95.
Well, to be picky the studio doesn’t include any hardware, which hardly makes it a studio. What it does include is Sony Creative Softwares Home Studio production tools, some – or all depending on what you do – which I think would be interesting for podcasting. In this suite you find something for music production, audio editing and processing, video processing and a bonus photo program.

Here’s a unit that’s bound to be too high-end for most podcasters (and for me for that matter). At a dazzling price of around $5000 the ANR-B adaptive noise reduction hardware unit (previous post) is not likely to attract home users who wants to get rid of noise. Radio stations seem to like it however.

Sennheiser has introduced a clip-on microphone, the MKE 1, with a capsule that’s not much bigger than the head of a match!

Looking for a line mixer for the bigger badder podcast rig? Alesis has announced a 1-RU eight channel line mixer. MultiMix 8 Line features eight stereo channels with a mic/line input on channel one and stereo effects send and return. When a mono signal is present on any input or stereo send, the Left signal is automatically summed to mono for mono and stereo compatibility.
I just got the press release about a new sound library from german Ueberschall. It consists of “construction kits” to create a style of music, in this case some kind of club music. I thought I’d take some time to talk about how to make your own music for your podcast. Don’t worry, you don’t need to play any instruments.
