![]() We tell ourselves that we’ll do it tomorrow or the day after. Backing up is something all of us should do, but we often don’t. We’ve all heard horror stories of friends who lost months if not years worth of irreplaceable data when their system decided to take a permanent break. A few weeks ago we did add a MacBook Air to our household. It took me about a week to get used to my new computer and the operating system. The actual move from PC to Mac was very easy. For that purpose I bought the Macbook Air SuperDrive which can be plugged into one of the four Mac Mini USB 2.0 ports. What the Mac Mini doesn’t have is an optical drive to play and burn CD’s or DVD’s. Tip: if you want to connect a standard analog computer monitor or LCD to your Mac Mini, you need a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter. Third: I already had peripherals such as a flat-screen monitor and an ergonomic mouse. Otherwise I would have bought the Macbook Air (no moving parts and also nearly silent). It doesn’t have to go on the road with me. Secondly, this computer stays in my studio. The Mac Mini uses very little energy and it rarely ever gets warm. I combined both spaces, which means that my desktop sits next to me in my studio. The computer is usually outside the booth. Some colleagues have a studio with two separate areas: a sound booth and a control room. When it does, it produces a whisper that’s almost inaudible. Reason number one: it barely makes any noise. I do want to tell you what prompted me to get a Mac Mini. ![]() I’ve used both and I have found Apple to be more reliable and user-friendly. Sorry, but I’m not going to get into the Apple versus PC discussion. ![]() At the time I even got a $10 rebate and free shipping! It took me ten minutes to do it myself for less than $45. If you let Apple do it for you, 8 GB will cost you $400. It came with 2GB of memory, but thanks to a removable bottom, it is very easy to add more memory to your mini. As long as I can give them clean and clear audio, they’re happy and I’m happy.Īt the heart of my studio is a Mac Mini with a dual-core 2.3 GHz Intel i5 processor running OS X Lion. I have no inclination to compete with all the high-end bells and whistles their engineers have at their disposal. Most of them are much better equipped to do post-production sweetening in their studios, if that’s what they want. Without exception, my clients ask for audio that’s “unfooled around with”. Life is complicated as is, and in my studio I’d like to keep things as simple as possible. When it comes to the tools of the trade, I subscribe to the “ less is more” philosophy. Now it’s time to talk about technology.ĭon’t worry, I’ll do my very best not to be too technical, if only for my own sake. Now that you got this done, get ready to grace the internet with your custom inkling/octoling voice.You’ve seen the inside of my voice-over booth. ![]() The process lowers the file's volume, so.)īoom, baby! You just turned your file of choice into an inkling/octoling! Set the Output to 5% (Or more or less, depending on how loud or quiet the file is.Record or find a voice clip or whatever to use (duh).Hey, everyone! If you haven't known, I've recently done a Squidpost with my OC April in it using an inkling voice for once (link: )! I use Twistedwave Audio whenever I'm working on music or Squidposts and I wanna help any other Splatoon fans out there using Twistedwave Audio make some inkling voices! ![]()
