Here is my review of Elgato’s Wave XLR with Wave Link and Voice Focus. Although the creators of the Elgato Wave XLR audio interface (≈US$170) mainly target online video gamers, in this review article, I’ll demonstrate how valuable and powerful the Wave XLR (and its accompanying software) can also be ideal for other industries, like [...]Read More... from Elgato Wave XLR audio interface w/realtime noise/reverb reduction (Voice Focus), Clipguard, capacitive mute and more

In the award-winning animation “The Wild Robot,” our robot Roz realizes she must activate learning mode in order to understand and communicate with the world around her. Her system not only had to learn visual elements, but also incorporate and interpret sounds as language. Recently, Adobe’s generative AI platform, Firefly, has incorporated sound generation through [...]Read More... from Additional AI Model Integrations, Sound Effects Features, and Video Updates Join the Adobe Firefly Squad
As I have covered previously, audiobook production and consumption continue to grow fiercely. I discuss the continually expanding voice options with my growing list of author clients who produce, publish and distribute books, ebooks and audiobooks through my TecnoTur. Those options vary depending upon personal taste and budget. Some authors absolutely want to hire a [...]Read More... from Audiobook voice options expand in 2025: professional live human, pro cloned, author voice or author cloned with AI
The word “commercial” may be on everyone’s mind after the Super Bowl. From favorites to flops, this year’s crop of Super Bowl commercials had an average cost of $8 million for a 30-second slot. Adobe’s new AI video product won’t require nearly that much of your hard earned green. But it will indeed require a [...]Read More... from Testing 1, 2, 3: Adobe’s Firefly Video Model now available in public beta
Ever wish you had just a few more frames? A little more room tone? Ever deal with a camera that cut too early or started too late? Need just a tiny bit more for your edit to hit the drum beat or let the emotional moment settle? Yeah, us too. That’s why we’re excited to [...]Read More... from Get hands-on access to Generative Extend in Premiere Pro (beta)
This is my review of the PodMic USB (US$199) from RØDE, a hybrid dynamic studio microphone with a powerful DSP. The PodMic USB is the most versatile hybrid dynamic microphone I have ever known to date, even though it’s the only hybrid dynamic microphone I have ever encountered which allows EITHER using USB OR XLR, [...]Read More... from Review: RØDE PodMic USB hybrid dynamic studio microphone with powerful DSP & compelling app support
“Cause you’re a sky, ’cause you’re a sky full of stars” – Coldplay That song, from 10 years ago, has likely been utilized in the echoing opening videos at Adobe MAX. The tone is inspiring, deep, expansive, and, unlike space, loud. We are worlds away from Los Angeles. We might even be worlds away from [...]Read More... from Adobe MAX Links the Constellations of Creativity and Community
Apple’s Glowtime event brings a trio of new updates across Apple Watch, AirPods and iPhone. Like all Apple events there’s a lot packed into that 90+ minutes, but the biggest news for filmmakers and media creation folks was near the end with the introduction of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max. The new [...]Read More... from iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max adds new features for filmmakers
When it comes to archiving an edit, especially a large documentary edit, the archive struggle is real. I recently wrapped up a low-budget documentary edit, and near the end, I brought up the archiving of the project and realized there wasn’t a plan in place. As an editor for hire, I don’t do a full [...]Read More... from The archive struggle is real
Professional workflows often require you, the seasoned editor, to facilitate an interface between your timeline, other apps and other people. Perhaps you need to create a visual summary of your edit by exporting still frames at various points along it. Perhaps you need to export a list of specific timecodes where VFX work is still [...]Read More... from Marker Data — a quick look
RØDE’s new Interview PRO microphone has sparked a lot of interest and controversy for many reasons. Of course, the Interview PRO is much more than a microphone and even more than a wireless microphone, since it’s also a standalone 32-bit float recorder (for use with or without a wireless receiver), so its potential applications extend [...]Read More... from Review: RØDE Interview PRO wireless microphone-recorder
What a year it’s been for Generative AI technology and the tools that have been developed! When I first started the AI Tools series with Part 1 back in January of 2023, I could only see a sliver of what was to become in the months ahead. I then decided we need a central place [...]Read More... from AI Tools Part 5: 2023 A Year in Review
Here is my review of the RØDE NT1 Signature Series condenser studio microphone (U$159 including shockmount and pop filter). Today, our Australian friends announced the NT1 Signature Series, the latest edition of RØDE’s iconic original studio condenser microphone. With over 6 million units sold in its 30-year history, RØDE says that the NT1 is the [...]Read More... from Review: RØDE NT1 Signature Series condenser studio microphone
This is my review of the NT-USB+ (U$169), a condenser studio microphone. Based on the original NT-USB (which I reviewed back in 2014), the NT-USB+ is a professional-grade USB microphone loaded with features, thanks to its newer preamp and DSP (digital signal processor) which allows APHEX effects, including a compressor, high-pass (low-cut) filter, noise gate, [...]Read More... from Review: RØDE NT-USB+ condenser studio microphone with DSP & compelling app support
Ever since the existence of the two most popular microphone core technologies: dynamic and condenser (including electret condenser), people have had to choose between them, based upon their different strengths and weaknesses. Condenser microphones have a wider frequency range (they sound crisper and brighter), but have been so sensitive, they have often picked up too [...]Read More... from Descript’s «Studio Sound» makes dynamic mics sound like condensers & condensers behave like dynamics
In my recent review of the game changing RØDE Capture, we noted the lack of 25 and 50 fps. These rates are also correctly known as 25p and 50p, where the letter P stands for progressive frames per second. These missing rates were immediately noted by me and by reader Marc Blank-Settle, BBC trainer. Now, [...]Read More... from RØDE Capture silently adds 25 fps, but still no 50 fps
There are two “film looks”. There’s what I believe to be the original intent of the phrase, and then there’s photochemical film emulation. Originally we could only shoot film. There was no “film look” because it was all film. Then, relatively recently, we got various forms of digital video. These days it’s less of a [...]Read More... from REVIEW: Pixel Tools hueShift
(UPDATED) Today Shure unveiled the MVX2U (U$129), a very powerful inline dockable USB interface for analog XLR microphones of any type (condenser, dynamic or even ribbon -after deactivating the 48-volt phantom power, since it ships active), which transforms them into high quality digital USB mics, with built-in latency-free monitoring, as well as optional effects including [...]Read More... from Review: Shure MVX2U dockable USB audio interface for XLR mics with limiter + much more
AI video leader Runway has added Image to Video as the latest feature in its Gen-2 suite of tools. This feature directly creates moving image from a still, with no extra prompting. While previous text-to-image generation (whether in Gen-2 or a competitor) have generally produced results that are too creepy and crude for professional usage, [...]Read More... from Is AI video about to creep out of the uncanny valley?
