Studio

Acoustics-
Jason created a recording environment in a portion of his home that clients say meets if not exceeds their needs.  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 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 a Focusrite VoiceMaster Platinum Pro processor where after the Class A preamp, he engages only 3 of the 7 available options.
The first is the Hi-Pass filter to reduce the parts of the voice that often makes audio sound "muddy".
The second is the Optical Expander set at the lowest setting to quiet the AC when it's on.
Third is the Optical Compressor where a touch of compression (2.5:1) is applied to tame wild audio peaks and richen the sound. 
If a client wants, Jason will engage the EQ and adjust as requested but he usually leaves it off since he's not a professional sound engineer!
After the VMP, the sound passes through a 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.
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".
