Studio

Acoustics-
Jason created a recording studio in an isolated portion of his home which clients say meet if not exceed their needs.  In the fall of 2010, Jason added ATS acoustical panels 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 or the U.S. Coast Guard helicopters which occasionally buzz by.

Microphone-
Jason's microphone of choice is a Sennheiser MKH 416 shotgun microphone, the so-called "LA mic".  The mic is known for adding a bit of punch and cutting through a mix without lots of processing.  On eLearning reads, Jason adds a bit of distance and dials down the preamp and his delivery to provide full, clean, and highly intelligible audio.

Processing/Interface Hardware-
The mic takes Jasons' voice through a modified PreSonus tube preamp which can add varying degrees of "warmth" and heft should you require more than his natural voice offers.
The 80Hz HiPass filter is usually engaged to "roll off" unwanted bass which can make audio sound "muddy".  The signal then passes into his computer via a high-quailty A/D (analog/digital) converter.

Computer/Software/Monitors-
The core of Jasons' studio is a 440GB HP Pavilion which runs the highly versatile Cool Edit Pro 2 audio editing program.  With this now-classic precursor to Adobe Audition, Jason can dress up the sound if you like by adding compression or EQ in a wide variety of amounts.
A 100GB secondary hard drive stores your audio and is backed up regularly to protect your files for up to 60 days.
Jason keeps an ear on quality using Alesis M1Active powered nearfield monitors.

Delivery Methods-
All common formats such as WAV, AIFF, and MP3 are available in either mono or 2-channel.
Short MP3 projects are easily emailed, but larger files are quickly delivered via 20/20 FiOS to a secure download area of the www.bishopvoice.com website, to your server via FTP, or to a file sharing service such as "YouSendIt" or "Dropbox".
