    AI Fixed the Audio, But Should We Tell People?

    This week on The Pro Audio Suite, the crew dives into the weirdly perfect world of AI fixing AI. Robert shares a corporate video job about AI adoption that was, rather beautifully, rescued by AI audio cleanup. Robbo jumps in with his own tale of a big corporate shoot where the lapel mics were fitted, but somehow the camera mic was what got recorded. Enter Source Elements ReGen. The team talks through where tools like ReGen sit in the real world of audio post. Not as a first choice, not as a magic button, but as a serious get out of jail option when the recording is so far gone that traditional noise reduction is not really the answer anymore. From there, things take a sharp left into AI watermarking, audio disclosure, stealth metadata, digital rights management, and whether AI voices on radio should be clearly labelled. Is the problem AI itself, or is it the lack of honesty around how it is being used? There is also a brief but important discussion about using AI cleanup for auditions, why bad audio can affect casting decisions before anyone even realises it, and whether Robbo should launch his own service called RoboGen. In this episode: • Source Elements ReGen in real post-production jobs • Fixing badly recorded corporate audio • Why ReGen is different from normal noise reduction • AI audio cleanup for voiceover auditions • Watermarking AI images and audio • Disclosure around AI voices on radio • Why honesty may matter more than the tool itself • The birth of RoboGen, unfortunately Thanks to our sponsors Austrian Audio, making passion heard.

    SSL One First Look

    This week on The Pro Audio Suite, George brings out a little show and tell with the SSL One, SSL's compact single mic preamp interface aimed squarely at the same world as the Scarlett Solo and other simple home studio boxes. The team gets into what actually matters for voice actors and home studio users, including physical gain knobs, direct monitoring, high pass filters, 4K mode, USB-C connections, headphone control, auto gain, clip protection, and why simple interfaces are sometimes the best interfaces. There is also a little live testing with Twisted Wave, a quick look at Source Elements Recorder on mobile, some PASport VO phone patch chat, and the usual collection of detours involving Jack FM, trap doors, yacht rock, and turntables that apparently survive being moved while playing. If you are a voice actor, producer, podcaster, or home studio owner trying to choose an audio interface without accidentally buying a puzzle box, this one is worth a watch.

    What's Acceptable in a Home Voiceover Studio?

    The team breaks down what "acceptable audio" really means for voice actors recording from home, from reflections and noise to mic placement, editing, clothing rustle and using reference recordings. What actually counts as acceptable audio when you're recording voiceover from home? That question came up after Robbo spoke with a group of aspiring voice actors in Perth. The advice was simple enough, don't overprocess, don't gate everything, and send clean raw audio when asked. But one student asked the thing every beginner wants to know: how do I know if what I'm recording is actually good enough? In this episode, Robbo, Robert, George and eventually AP unpack the answer. They talk about why reflections are often a bigger problem than background noise, why "boxy" booth sound is so hard to fix, and why a great recording is usually more about the room than the microphone. The crew also gets into mic technique, the danger of editing yourself into oblivion, clothing noise, hair rustle, inconsistent recording levels, portable booths, the value of reference recordings, and why sometimes "consistent but flawed" is much easier to work with than audio that keeps changing from take to take. There's also a detour into rare microphones, a surprise AP entrance, and Robbo discovering that the PASport VO may have just made phone patching easier than expected.

    TwistedWave's New Time Savers, Keystroke Batches and Auto Repair

    TwistedWave has dropped updates that feel like they were built for anyone smashing through a pile of auditions or VO edits every day. George walks through what's new in 32.3 and 32.4, including the ability to apply a Batch directly to your currently open file and map that Batch to a single keystroke. That means you can normalise to a target level, then apply a processing stack, all in one hit, without the old multi step workflow. Then there's the new Repair tool, a quick "auto heal" style fix for little clicks, mouth noises, and short waveform anomalies. Select the problem area, hit a key, and TwistedWave smooths it out. No fiddly sample drawing required. Also included, a friendly rant about software developers changing things that don't need changing, and why options matter. Sponsors, Tribooth and Austrian Audio, Making Passion Heard. Recorded using Source Connect. Edited by Andrew Peters. Mixed by Robbo.

    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.
