Poketoon, Kony2012, and the VO Home Studio

Posted by RicePirate - March 24th, 2012


Grueling week of work, no animation ... really bummed me out.

._._.

NEW TOON > ASH FINDS A PINSIR!
Bummed as I am, I'm happy that a new Pokemon toon is out, animated by the very talented Hbrunav. It's a cute little story about a boy named Ash who makes a new friend in the wilderness. Kinda.

._._.

NEW TOON > KONY2012
Also, the recent release of KONY2012 (by psychicpebbles) cheered me up. If you haven't seen it, go check it out. Aside from the usual Pebbles-humor, it features the voices of Ego, Tomar, and myself, as well as some surprisingly touching music by Oney. And by "touching", I mean like that of the gentle caress of a baby seal on muh bawlz.

._._.

NEW AUDIO > FUCK*NG AAGRON
Also I released an audio track : Fuck*ng Aagron. Originally created for an animation that fell through, based on this poster.
It's also on Soundcloud.

._._.

NEW HOME STUDIO
The studio is coming along really nicely. The foam's been up for a week, and I've got my ProTools, Mbox, and AT4033 ... still missing my pre-amp, and the Mojave mic (which I'll be doing a comparison).

._._.

Pico Day mutherfuckers.

Daaaaaaamn, I would give my left nut for a home studio that stylin'. Hell, I'd give both.

I trust you'll be posting some super sexy samples when you get the new mic?

Definitely. I'm sending a comparison of the AT4033 and Mojave to the studio. So I'll be sure to post it here too.

My jelly level...is off the charts right now

The space isn't huge, but it's not a closet either. Honestly the foam is very reasonable. Was maybe 800 for all the treatment. I can link you the specs, but auralex does free quotes and specs if you send them the dimensions.

Pfff, There is now like 3 posts about expensive equipment on the front page right now that really are making me want to upgrade my seven dollar mic and mouse...

use what works man. if it ain't broke

I sure hope you built a fort with that foam before you went and stuck it all everywhere.

Or at least made a pile and jumped in it.

i peed on it. to test absorption. also sucks up farts.

Apparently the episodes of Zexal that you voiced have aired already

I FORGOT!!! I'll link the episodes in my next post.

Lovely.

just ... lovely

Mojave mic?!?!?! I thought you got that fantastic clarity and reverberation by talking directly into female breasts (motor boat style).

Can't wait to hear the new quality!!

me neither!!!!!!!

Where the hell is the 24HRC4 we were promised!? >:I

been working with two guys on laying the ground work for it, so when you finish your pieces it's ready to go.

your home studio looks great lets heres hoping for good quality and not too many problems :D

i'm so scared it'll all be for naught.

Good god that looks like an EQing nightmare.

Unless that room's bigger than it looks. If the EQing in a problem, you can fix it with any super cardioid mic, but you'll be sacrificing the ability to move around much because of how small their on-axis area is.

You good at dem pro tools? I can give you some tutorials on editing techniques using all the wacky shit in that program and...shit...if you want...I mean, you don't HAVE to...

Regardless, I'm looking forward to hearing the samples of the new mic in that space. It'll be interesting to hear how you dealt with the space in protools.

Never used protools, so I could use all the help I can get. And the room isn't that big, but it's not tiny, it's 41sq ft of floor space (but with that sloped ceiling).

Eq-ing, working with the pre-amp AND mbox ... the ProTools interface ... it's all new to me.

You know you can just use an iPhone to record audio? No need for all that studio jazz, bro. :Y

Ohhhh shit, yer right! Is that what you've been using to make LT2? :P

You don't need all that fancy shmancy stuff. Use an iPhone. :P

molkman sniped you

can I use your voice too? I wanna be famous :[

my voice doesn't make you famous. that's my penis you talkin about

What?!?! You mad because I told everyone about your trade secret! :P

are you goint to make a pico day flash submission?
i would love to. if you do :3

Wait, the collab started!?

Can you whisper in my ear until I fall asleep?

Okay really..? Do you honestly need anymore trophies and features? Let other flash authors have some spotlight for a change.

dang dude. so you make games (BIG GAMES), you make animations (BIG ANIMATIONS), and you do the voices for one of my favorite animations. you are a success sir.
