Hmmm, not sure what happened there, but Tuesday's blog ended up being deleted. I'll chalk it up to new website blues. Regardless, I'm posting it again for those who missed it. Video Transcribing App from Dave Courvoisier on Vimeo. The app is by Apple itself (so you're not gonna find it on...
Apps
A New “Take”
Don't expect iOS and Android developers to grow weary of the endless proliferation of newer, better, faster, cleverer apps. There's no downside for them, apps are money-makers, and they speak to the best of global innovation. I've tried to blog about every worthwhile audio app and program to come...
Steinberg + iPad = Cubasis
Just the other day someone posted in an online forum with the question: "What are the best apps to record and edit audio on an iOS system". I haven't done the research, but probably scores of apps will record your audio...but not many will let you edit, and even fewer will offer editing and...

Get It On the Record
Some voice talents ask for signed written contracts, and/or require payment up front before they start on a project with a new client. I can certainly see the wisdom of that, especially if you've been burned on a job along the line somewhere. Their argument is that most reputable business people...
Source-Connect for iOS
One of the big catch-phrases at this year's CES in Las Vegas was "wearable computing"; the integration of the machine and the human...if not on our clothing, then somehow inserted in our bodies. Any cyborg comparisons notwithstanding (3-of-7?)...this idea actually has acceptance and a market....
Android Tablet vs. Studio DAW
Android devices have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to quality audio recording. For the better part of two years, hardware and app designers have been coming up with elegant solutions for passable voice recordings on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). I've written about many of them here,...
Audio Evolution Mobile and USB Audio Recorder PRO for Android
