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...
MS Office on your iPad/iPhone
Digital tools are so important to voice-actors. You will not win or lose a voiceover audition based on having MS Office on your iPhone or iPad (or not), but as you know, tools can come in mighty handy in your workflow, and in a pinch. The RIGHT tool can be a lifesaver in a panic. I prefer to be...
iRig Pre vs. Pro
New smartphone and tablet devices are getting churned out at a dizzying pace. Apple and Samsung lead the pack, but the new Nokia/Microsoft merge promises some surprises, while HTC and LG continue to innovate. Because of that, 3rd-party device manufacturers are having a...
Like Lightning!
Barely had the digital ink dried on my blog from Monday's unveiling of the RØDE iXY before my good friend Tim Keenan (owner of Creative Media Recording) chimed in with some welcome news. Most portable mics designed to work with iPhones, iPads, iPods, etc. come with the 19-pin connector common on...

Tablet Transformation
Tablets are a game changer. Sure, your iPad is handy for swiping through copy as you read...easy to catch up on email while waiting at the doctor's office...but tablet computers are about to explode on the scene in ways you didn't expect, and the jury's still out on how that effects the business...
New Artist App
For iOS users (iPad, iPhone), there's a new app available that just might be the ticket for developing your business in a very productive way. My thanks to voice talent David Sigmon for bringing this program to my attention. It's called Artist Growth, and is available in the App Store. Their...
Gee! The New Apogee MiC
My thanks to VO Pro Joe Cipriano for posting on my Voice-Over Friends FaceBook group about the new Apogee MiC. At CES, we saw a trio of new USB and iOS-compatible mics. Then, just a couple of days ago, I ran down a few of the new mic offerings that were exhibited at NAMM. Now Apogee steps forward...
