Jam-packed with stuff for the studio, voice-talent, musicians, and audio-technophiles.  Heck, even the ads are worth it.

The format for online viewing is just tops.  You will enjoy reading this.

March 2011 Online Edition of EQ.

CourVO

The Dec EQ magazine issue is out, and in this month’s edition: Studio Gifts for Gear Geeks, and an article on PreSonus Studio One Pro…but forget all that.  As I’ve said before, some of the best content in the magazine comes in the ads.  Persusing the virtual pages (they turn with a sound just like a real magazine), I found at least 4 apps for the iPhone causes it to double as a sound processor of some sort, and I also found an ad for this bad boy:

The SESCOM IL-19, billed as an inline professional audio hum eliminator.  Is this something a VO can use in their audio-chain?  I don’t know, but it might be worth a look.

See?  You find stuff in this magazine that kinda keeps you on the learning edge.  No?

Check it out by clicking on the magazine cover above.

The target readership includes audio engineers, musicians, studio techs, and audiophiles…but so much of what is discussed…even the ads…land quite so close to the heart of a voice talent, that I believe each month’s digital edition is a gold mine.

You’ll find product reviews for hardware, mics, software, pre-amps, and peripherals, as well as tutorials for audio editing, and a whole lot more.

Plus this particular online digital form of the magazine is one of the slickest interfaces I’ve seen to browse a magazine, and still feel like you’re turning pages.

Check out the November Edition of Online EQ Magazine.

Not only is it fun to flip the virtual pages, but the content itself is top-notch.  Sure, it’s mostly written for people who actually know what VST stands for, and can describe the difference in polarity fields for the various types of condenser mics…but for the rest of us, there is a lot left that’s actually quite applicable to our VO indutry.

This month, for instance…besides having a fetching picture of Cheryl Crow on the cover, you’ll find articles like:  ”Give Your Mixes More Headroom”, and “8 Questions That Can Save Your Sessions”.  The publication favors the music industry, but applies to us too.  Even the ads are great.

Give it a look-see, and you will find it thoroughly engaging.  I promise.  CLICK.

This is an extremely worthwhile publication for content (aside from being one of the slickest online publications I’ve ever seen).

EQ Magazine is geared towards audio technicians, audio studios, engineers, musicians, production managers, and the ilk…but almost everything in this magazine is applicable to the voice0ver industry….even the adverts.

Plug-ins, DAWS, microphones…there’s always reviews, and articles on software and hardware that we use every day in voiceover work.

Give it a moment for a look-see, and you won’t regret it!

EQ mag is for musicians, studio geeks, audiophiles, engineers, and studio techs, but so much of what you’ll find on these pages is helpful to voice actors.  Tons!

For instance, an article this month entitled “Why settle for tracks that sound good when they can sound great?”  is packed with tips on audio editing, including use of plug-ins, equalization, and mixing.

And like I always say, the ads alone are worth checking out, just to keep current.

The articles, the how-to guides, even the ads are the best in the business.

For instance, this month’s publication has “Pro Tools 8 Mixing Tips and Tricks” and that’s just for starters.

This publication is for an audience of studio engineers, audiophiles, serious musicians, and sound techno-wizards, but you can’t help but learn lots by thumbing – virtually – through their pages.

I’ve never seen as slick an online publication as this magazine…and that’s aside from all the kick-butt content it has.

EQ Magazine is for the audiophile, the studio engineer, the musician crazed by getting the perfect sound…so it leans in the direction of technical audio lingo…but the articles are spot-on.  This month: tips on using Pro-Tools 8, and Cakewalk Sonar 8.5, along with other great equipment critiques and even the ads are worth a gander.

Check it out HERE.

EQ magazine is for musicians, audio engineers, music electronica gearheads and more…but it’s also for us VO peeps too.

Great articles in this issue about Cakewalk Sonar, and Ableton Live 8. 

And as I always say about EQ…just reading the ads alone is worth it!

Anymore, I don’t reference anything that has the white whiskers of a two-month growth on it.  That’s probably judgemental of me. But, hey, things change so fast these days!

However, a Tweet from my friends at RainRecording (@rainrecording) sent me to a site called Electronic Musician and a 2-part article published in Feb of ’07 that still seems pretty timely.  It’s written by Perry Anne Norton, and is titled “Recording the Spoken Word”.  Read it HERE.  Don’t expect any big revelations, but I’d recommend this well-composed 2-parter for anyone seriously considering voice-acting.

The E-Musician site kinda reminds me of EQ Magazine…the issues and challenges they deal with and write about are so darn close to the ones we face in voice-acting, that much of the advice applies effortlessly.
