    Apple Silicon, Old Macs, and Why Working Gear Shouldn't Die

    Apple has not always been known as the bargain option, but the latest Apple Silicon Macs might be changing that conversation. In this episode, the team gets into the surprising value of the M4 Mac Mini, why even a base model can be serious overkill for many voice actors, and how smaller machines like the MacBook Air and MacBook "Neo" style systems compare for remote sessions, Source Connect, Pro Tools, and travel rigs. The conversation also wanders into classic Pro Audio Suite territory, including old Macs that refuse to die, running Linux or Windows on ageing Apple hardware, right to repair, weird manufacturer lockouts, obsolete cables, Shure MV88 bargain hunting, Pro Tools archiving disasters, and why keeping your sessions self contained still matters. There is also a very important chainsaw story. Obviously.

    Studio Rebuilds, Vintage Gear, Old Macs & Reclaimed Timber

    This week on The Pro Audio Suite, things go gloriously off the rails. AP has been rebuilding his studio, and is talking reclaimed timber and custom desks, George is showing off weird vintage Apple gear, and somewhere in the middle, the boys fall down a rabbit hole involving Korg M1s, old ISDN boxes, retro synths, ancient Macs, and why audio people can never throw anything away. There's also a surprisingly deep discussion about why the physical studio environment matters creatively, why a tidy desk changes your mindset, and how modern workflows are reshaping how studios are built and used. Plus: • Studio rebuild ideas and workflow tweaks • Reclaimed timber stories from Australia and the US • Vintage synths and old gear suddenly becoming valuable again • Apple Neos, fanless laptops, and remote session setups • PASport VO in real world workflows • Why old Macs refuse to die • The weird psychology of creative spaces • 80s and 90s music production nostalgia • Why nobody seems to jam together anymore It's part studio therapy session, part gear archaeology dig, and part pub chat between audio nerds.

    Fix Bad Audio Instantly? Inside Waves' Voice Regeneration Tool

    What happens when audio is so bad… even the best plugins can't save it? In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, we're joined by Michael "Gomez" Pearce-Adams from Waves Audio to talk about Voice Regeneration, a new AI-driven tool designed to rebuild poor-quality dialogue into something actually usable. And this isn't just noise reduction or EQ… it's a complete rethink of how broken audio gets fixed. We dig into: Why this will never be a plugin How AI is actually "rebuilding" voice recordings Real-world use cases, from podcast disasters to phone interviews What this means for audio engineers and post-production The limits of AI audio, and where it still falls over There's also a bigger conversation here about where the industry is heading, and whether tools like this are helping or hurting the craft. If you've ever been handed unusable audio and told "can you fix this?", this one's for you. 🎙️ What You'll Hear in This Episode Why traditional tools fail on truly bad audio The rise of content creators as the biggest audio market Cloud processing vs plugin workflows Ethical concerns around AI and audio data Accent bias in AI models and why it matters Real examples of voice regeneration in action How fast AI processing is changing expectations 🔗 Links & Resources 🌐 Waves Voice Regeneration: https://www.waves.com/voice-regeneration 🎧 More episodes: https://www.proaudiosuite.com 💬 Join the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/357898255543203 🙌 Sponsors Thanks to our mates at: Tri-Booth – Portable vocal booths built for voice pros.

    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.

    Fixing Loopback the Easy Way, Nexus Suite Explained

    Loopback is one of the most common and misunderstood problems in home studios. In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the team breaks down how the new Nexus Suite, specifically Nexus Review, makes it dramatically easier to capture system audio, create proper mix-minus setups, and send playback to clients without complicated routing. If you have ever wrestled with UA Console routing, virtual drivers, Chrome output quirks, or Mac system audio conflicts, this one is for you. We cover: • Why traditional loopback setups get messy fast • The UA console routing method and its limitations • How Nexus Review captures system audio automatically • Why this eliminates feedback loops • Whether you still need an Apollo • Chrome finally fixing its output bug • What this means for USB interfaces and simpler setups If you are podcasting, live streaming, directing voice talent, or running remote sessions, this episode will save you time and headaches.

    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.

    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.

  8. The Future of Analog? Digitally Controlled Hardware

    1月19日

    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.
