In this episode, Robbo, George, AP, and Robert Marshall take a deep dive into Waves' newest AI-driven plugin: Waves Curves Equator. It’s an innovative EQ that analyzes your audio and creates custom EQ curves based on what it “hears.” We break down its features, test it on Andrew Peters' voiceover, and explore how it could change the way we handle EQ.

Discussion highlights:

• How AI EQ works and its real-world applications
• Robbo’s first impressions using Waves Curves Equator
• Automating EQ for radio imaging and other applications
• Will AI-driven plugins take over more of the audio workflow?

We also explore some fun presets and discuss how AI might shape the future of audio production.

“When the going gets weird, the weird turn professional.”

Hunter S Thompson

In this episode of the Pro Audio Suite, the team dives into the ever-evolving landscape of AI and voice licensing, exploring the groundbreaking decision by James Earl Jones to license his voice to Disney. What does this mean for voice actors? And where do we draw the line between legal licensing and exploitation? We also discuss recent lawsuits surrounding AI voice replication, the ethical boundaries of using voices without permission, and what these changes could mean for the future of the industry.

The conversation gets heated as Robbo, AP, George "The Tech" Whittam, and Robert Marshall debate whether AI voice replication is an opportunity or a looming threat. With insights from the legal world, current case studies, and expert opinions, this episode is a must-listen for anyone in the audio or voiceover industries.

Want to get involved? We’ve got an exciting Austrian Audio Hi-X20 Headphone Competition running, and it's simple to participate! Download the show’s stems and create your own mix for a chance to win. Head over to theproaudiosuite.com to grab the files and get mixing! 🥳

In response to a listener question from Barry Burns (aka Big Bazza!), the Pro Audio Suite team breaks down their thoughts on the Rode NT2000 and its use for voiceover work. Whether you’re a voice actor curious about this mic or just a fan of Rode gear, this episode offers some valuable insights and a healthy dose of gear talk.

• Strengths of the NT2000: The team highlights the mic’s variable polar patterns, high-pass filter, and low noise floor, making it a solid choice for versatile studio setups.

• Durability Over Time: With over a decade of use in one Melbourne studio, the team talks about the mic's longevity and how well it holds up compared to other long-term staples in the voiceover industry.

• The NT2000’s Unique Design Features: The discussion covers the adjustable pots on the NT2000 and why, despite their flexibility, they might not be for everyone.

• Should You Buy the Rode NT2000 for Voiceover? Andrew sums up his experience with the NT2000 and answers whether it’s worth the investment or if you should look into alternatives like the Austrian Audio OC818.

In this episode of The Pro Audio Suite, the team takes on a processing challenge. After AP shares a voiceover chain his client used on his voice during a session in Dubai, the crew dives into a comparison of different processing setups. From compression techniques to EQ adjustments, you'll hear how various approaches can make the same voiceover sound dramatically different. Whether you’re a voiceover artist or a podcaster, this episode is packed with insights on refining your audio chain. Special thanks to our sponsors, Tribooth—your ultimate portable vocal booth—and Austrian Audio, where passion is made heard.
