Studio

Acoustics-
Jason created a recording environment in a portion of his home that clients say meets if not exceeds their needs.  In the summer of 2010, Jason upgraded the environment to provide an even cleaner, more balanced sound. The only sounds he can't mitigate are the ones caused by Florida's notorious afternoon storms, U.S. Coast Guard helicopters and the occasional cigarette boat that roars through the Intercoastal waterways.

Microphones-
Depending on your project, Jason can use one of two mics:  a Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun microphone, the so-called "LA mic", which adds a bit of punch and cuts through a mix without lots of processing. 
Or Jason can use a Rode NT1A large diaphragm condensor mic for more traditional reads such as long-form narration, documentaries and Elearning.

Hardware-
The mic of your choice takes Jasons' voice through either a modified PreSonus tube preamp if you need some "tube warmth" or a small Mackie mixer featuring Mackie's ultra-clean XDR2 preamps.
The HiPass filters on either are usually engaged to "roll off" unwanted bassiness and if a client wants, Jason will engage the EQ on the mixer and adjust as requested but he usually leaves it off since he's not a professional sound engineer!

After the preamp(s), the sound passes through a the very clean Tascam US-122 A/D interface and into Jason's computer.

Computer/Software/Monitors-
The heart of Jasons' studio is a 60G HP Pavilion dv 1000 which runs the highly versatile Cool Edit Pro audio editing program.
A 100G secondary hard drive stores your audio and is backed up nightly with the Mozy OnLine backup service.
Jason keeps an ear on quality using Alesis M1Active powered nearfield monitors.

Delivery Methods-
All common formats are available.
Short projects in mp3 format are easily emailed, but larger files will be delivered via a secure download area of the www.bishopvoice.com website, via your FTP, or via a file sharing service such as "YouSendIt".
