Another Year Older, Another Year Wiser | a micro audio drama

I referenced an audio production challenge in my last post , which prompted that audio essay. After deciding not to use that project for the challenge, I went back to the drawing board and tossed around a few other ideas, all based on the challenge theme of "Lost And Found". Additionally, the final duration of the project could not exceed 5 minutes, and the final mix had to be submitted by the end of the month. Eventually, I settled on the idea of a young man who is dealing with the death of his father. As the characters and scene began to take shape in my mind, I started to see this also being a story about life in a small town.

Ordering the Amazon Echo Dot

Amazon just unveiled two new devices today which use the Alexa Voice Services. They are the Echo Dot and the Echo Tap and are both smaller than the original Amazon Echo and seem to be intended to be complimentary to it; a less expensive way to add "Alexa" to multiple rooms of your home.

The Dot is currently only available to Amazon Prime members and you must order by speaking to your Echo device. You must have enabled "Voice Purchasing" in the Alexa app and have set your 1-click payment options before you can place your order. (Click here for instructions on how to do that.) I ordered the Echo Dot and recorded the exchange so you can see how simple and quick it is. In under a minute, the order was placed.

But they recently began offering some really compelling products designed specifically for podcasters, starting with the PodTrak P4 recorder/interface . This was followed by the ZDM-1 microphone and then by the PodTrak P8 . The Zoom ZDM-1 in my studio on the Heil HB-1 boom arm Today, we're taking a look at the Zoom ZDM-1 Podcast Mic , which is a large-diaphragm dynamic microphone targeted at the budget-conscious and/or beginner podcaster. It has a supercardioid polar pattern and the company boasts that it has "built-in noise protection and impressive sound rejection for clear, focused, broadcast-quality recordings." So we're going to do a little test in a real-world podcast recording environment so you can hear how it sounds. In The Box Before we check out the audio test
