Here’s a little something Mac users might enjoy (no Windows version available). Soundflower is a great tool for OS X 10.2 and upwards. Basically what it does is that it lets you connect one application to another and pass audio between the two.

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.

Yamaha is now shipping their Pocketrak CX, the next in line of their pocket recorders which follows the Pocketrak 2G Pocket Recorder. The difference lies in an upgraded stereo microphone system and expandability. The body is very slim, and the CX weighs only 100 gram.

I just browsed Youtube and found this video clip. It’s an interview with the makers of Profcast.
