I had some fun with a very weird effect. Basically what I did was create take a very boring thing to start with and made the effect mess it up. Hopefully at least some of it is useful to any of you.

This is a synthish bastard.

This is, like the previous hematerror percussive in nature.

After looking for info on the Mojave microphone I posted about earlier, I stumbled upon a section on the Mojave website about recording. Not very detailed or podcast specific at all, but some of you might enjoy it.

I found an article on Broadcast Engineering about a new Mojave microphone for voice-overs (among other things) called MA-201. I read about this several months ago for the first time, but perhaps it was released just now.

I’ve already talked about the CEntrance MicPort Pro (actually mostly copy+paste the press release) that have gotten some good recognition. I never posted about the AxePort Pro because, while a cool invention, I didn’t really feel it’s something for the typical podcaster. There’s more info about it on the official website if you’re interested.

Blue’s Icicle which I’ve reported about earlier is a similar idea. Create Digital Music has also recognized the similarities, and linked to several reviews of the CEntrance piece.

I’ve gotten emails from people asking what I think about these and, well, I think they’re really good ideas. I’m all for the smaller inventions, not everyone has space on their desks (I sure as hell don’t), but unfortunately I can’t really speak for the quality of the preamps. I can’t imagine the Blue, that will retail for $59, is of very good quality, but on the other hand not everyone wants to shell out a grand for a microphone preamp. If I ever get my hand on either one of these I’ll report back and let you know what I think of the quality.

Blue has come back with full force in a way that might interest podcasters. With Icicle, Mikey Portable Recorder for iPod and Eyeball Web Cam there should be something cool for most of you.
