    Corporate Takeovers, Native Instruments Drama & The Return of the U47? | PAS S9E2

    In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the team dives into some major shifts in the audio industry. Audio Tonics has acquired DPA, Austrian Audio, SSL, Harrison and more. What does this wave of consolidation mean for boutique brands and the future of innovation? Then we unpack the developing Native Instruments insolvency proceedings. With Kontakt, iZotope, Plugin Alliance and Brainworx under that umbrella, what could this mean for producers, composers and post professionals? And does this reignite the subscriptions versus perpetual debate? We also wander into: • Neumann U47 reissue rumours • The real value of vintage microphones • Why old music keeps resurfacing • 8-tracks, cassettes, DAT and the democratisation of audio • LimeWire confessions and plugin hoarding A wide ranging conversation about where audio has been and where it might be heading.

  2. Remote Recording, Choirs, and Old-School Rigs with Robert Marshall

    Remote Recording, Choirs, and Old-School Rigs with Robert Marshall

    In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the team digs into a large-scale remote recording with Robert Marshall, capturing a full orchestra and 100-plus voice choir performing Handel's Messiah inside a church. Robert breaks down his microphone choices, including Neumann KM184s, Austrian Audio CC8s, Schoeps mains, and why ORTF still delivers a convincing stereo image in complex acoustic spaces. We also talk about spot mic placement for piano and soloists, blending ambience naturally without artificial reverb, and the realities of recording live with zero second chances. The conversation drifts into mobile recording rigs, spinning-disk backups, FireWire laptops, remote recording trucks, and the kind of gear paranoia that only comes from doing this work solo for decades. It's a proper deep dive into classical capture, stereo technique, redundancy, and why "old-school" workflows still hold up in 2026.

  3. The Future of Analog? Digitally Controlled Hardware

    The Future of Analog? Digitally Controlled Hardware

    A fascinating piece of gear quietly surfaced ahead of NAMM, and it sent us down a deep rabbit hole. In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the crew digs into the Carno Sepia system, a digitally controlled, fully analog modular hardware platform that feels like a modern reimagining of the 500 series concept, minus the knobs. We unpack how it works, who it's really for, and whether this kind of hybrid approach is genuine innovation or just another expensive way to chase "analog purity." Along the way, we talk NAMM expectations, Sweetwater leaks, digitally controlled analog routing, redundancy, reliability fears, scratchy pots, touring rigs, and whether DSP has already caught up anyway. This one is equal parts curiosity, scepticism, and hard-earned industry perspective. In this episode: A NAMM-bound product that surfaced early on Sweetwater Digitally controlled analog hardware with no physical controls How Carno Sepia compares to traditional 500 series systems Routing, redundancy, and remote control advantages Real-world concerns around longevity and software dependency Analog obsession vs modern DSP reality Who this gear actually makes sense for Why some innovation feels brilliant and ridiculous at the same time Thanks to Tri-Booth and Austrian Audio for supporting The Pro Audio Suite.

    2025 Wrap Up: PASport VO, AI Reality Checks, Source-Connect Myths and What We Learned This Year

    2025 has been a big year for The Pro Audio Suite, so this episode is a full end-of-year wrap up with Robbo, Andrew Peters, George "The Tech" Whitham, and Robert Marshall. We look back at the biggest moments, the most downloaded episodes, the conversations that sparked the most reaction, and the industry shifts that actually mattered. From the launch of the PASport VO and real-world use cases, to persistent Source-Connect confusion, to the realities of AI in voiceover and audio production, this episode ties together the themes that defined 2025 for working audio pros. We also talk gear myths, room realities, video versus audio podcasting, career curveballs, and why experience still beats prompts every single time. If you've followed the show this year, this is the episode that puts it all in context.   Key Topics Covered The biggest Pro Audio Suite episodes of 2025 PASport VO real-world workflows and lessons learned Source-Connect 3 vs 4, and why the bridge episode mattered Why AI still struggles with direction, nuance, and repeatability Gear matters less than people think, but understanding it matters more Room setup and monitoring mistakes that keep catching people out Audio-only vs video podcasting, what's worth the effort Career curveball gigs from the hosts this year Why experience still wins over automation Thanks to our sponsors: Tri‑Booth Austrian Audio Recorded using Source-Connect Edited by Andrew Peters Mixed by Voodoo Sound

  5. We Test the Aston Element Mic, Here's What Happened

    We Test the Aston Element Mic, Here's What Happened

    This week the team dives into one of the strangest mics we've ever had on the show. A client of George's sent through a full placement test of the Aston Element, the active moving-coil oddball with its own made-up technology name, the Rydion capsule. Aston claims it blends the bottom end of a dynamic, the clarity of a condenser, and the smoothness of a ribbon. Big call. We compare it directly against a 416 and a TLM103, and the reactions in the room say everything. Does it punch above its weight? Is it just a quirky USB-era gimmick? Does it actually compete with entry-level VO mics? And most importantly, would any of us actually buy one? We also wander into proximity effect, capsule placement inside shotgun mics, and George literally dismantles an NTG4 on air. Good fun. If you're a mic nerd or you love oddball gear, you'll enjoy this one. Brought to you by Tri-Booth and Austrian Audio. Tri-Booth discount code: TRIPAP200 for 200 bucks off.

  6. The Lost Art of Sessioncraft

    The Lost Art of Sessioncraft

    This week we're digging into the skills that used to define the studio, back when audio wasn't just about tools and tech but the craft behind the session itself. Punch-ins, drop-ins, reading along with yourself, directing talent, matching pitch on the fly, using feel instead of formulas… so much of this has disappeared from the modern workflow. Robbo, AP, George and Robert swap stories from the tape era, pick apart why many of these skills are fading, and talk about what VO talent and engineers can learn from the old way of doing things. From casting realities to coaching blind spots, and even how quickly a demo gets skipped in a session, it's equal parts fun and brutally honest. We also touch on Toby Ricketts' blog on breath control and unseen punctuation https://www.tobyrickettsvoiceover.com/blog/unseen-punctuation-how-breath-control-engages-eardrums Thanks to our sponsors TriBooth and Austrian Audio.

  7. Should You De-Breath?

    2025. 11. 10.

    Should You De-Breath?

    Breaths — they're natural, emotional, and sometimes downright necessary. But should they always stay in your voice tracks? This week, the crew dives into the great de-breathing debate, inspired by a post from voice actor Toby Ricketts on how breaths act as "unseen punctuation." Robbo, AP, George the Tech, and Robert Marshall discuss when removing them improves clarity and when it strips away the performance. Along the way, they touch on AI voices, happy accidents, and the fine art of keeping things human — from Sting's laugh on Roxanne to Chad Smith breaking a drumstick mid-take. They also chat about Austrian Audio's new CC8 Supercardioid — a small-diaphragm beauty George currently has in front of him. Is it time to stop editing the life out of your sound?
