Sure, why not! Don’t you miss cassettes? I do (and I’m one of those vinyl-junkies too!). TapeDeck is a virtual - you guessed it - tape deck. Could perhaps be useful. Have a look at the website, and don’t forget to click to open the box!
Korg has announced a new series of tools aimed for the home musician, but at least the controller looks like it could be of interest for podcasters who want some hands-on control of their rig. And look how great they look with a Mac!

DUY has announced a new noise reduction plug-in called Silence.
From the DUY
How does it work? You simply analyse your noise, and the software will remove the noise for you automatically within seconds. You can also edit the noise properties by using a complete, powerful and intuitive set of tools. In addition, DUY Silence is not a “standard” Noise Reduction plug-in: it provides amazing additional features, allowing extraordinary control over the lowest level of operation, plus partial noise edition in order to satisfy the needs of advanced requirements for demanding users.
DUY Silence is available for Mac OSX in RTAS, VST, Audio Units (AU) and MAS formats. This breath-taking plug-in can be bought alone or as part of any of DUY’s special packages including other native products, such as DaD Tape, DUY Wide, Magic Spectrum, MagicEQ LE…
A demo video is available here on DUYs website.
Are you looking for a new and better de-esser than what comes with your audio editor? As a coincidence three plug-in companies have released a new compressor each and they’re good too! First out, let’s have a look at the Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser. I have made a video for it as well.

My apologies for not posting today. I did a shootout today, comparing the latest and greatest and will do the final tests tomorrow. Don’t fret, I’ll be back tomorrow (which might actually be tonight depending on where you live) with tips on the best de-essers, perhaps some info on de-essing and… well, talking about de-essing!
This week I’ll also talk about a few other oddities among dynamic processors that can be well worth checking out for podcasters. Stay tuned!
