Focusrite Pro Podcast Marks One-Year Anniversary of Show’s Launch

In Audio, Audio Industry News, home_page, Industry News, Web Articlesby Media

One year ago, Focusrite officially launched the Focusrite Pro Podcast, expanding upon its status as a worldwide thought leader in Audio-over-IP and the broader landscape of the audio industry. In the nearly 25 episodes that have been posted since the series’ inception, show host and producer Daniel Hughley (Focusrite Marketing Manager) has guided discussions offering insights into the cutting-edge technology behind current audio trends. Guests have included industry peers and leading individuals in Education, Recording, Post-Production, Broadcast and beyond. Topics have included Dolby Atmos® and Audio-over-IP, podcasting basics, the future of the Audio Engineering Society, the production of Live from Darryl’s House, advice on evolving one’s career in audio, and much more.

On the occasion of the one-year anniversary, Hughley is taking the opportunity to reflect on the show’s journey over the last 12 months. He notes, “The evolution of the Focusrite Pro Podcast is very close to my heart. We started with just a crazy idea to attempt to record a few episodes on a busy and noisy NAB tradeshow floor, and, like with most start-up podcasts, we weren’t sure that people would listen or if we would even be able to book guests. We hit our stride around episode 7 or 8 when Ted White [Focusrite Pro Global Marketing Manager] joined in as my full-time co-host. Ted has a very broad and technical studio background, and I’m more of a curious novice. Paired up, Ted and I have good chemistry on the mic, and I appreciate that Ted can talk to guests on a more technical level while I ask the big-picture questions. We’ve also hired a freelance editor, Bryan Entzminger, to take some of the workload off of myself, and Bryan has helped us tremendously.”

Univision Utilizes Innovative Sound Solutions for Leading Broadcasts

In Audio, Audio Industry News, Audio Install News, home_page, Image, Industry News, Install News, Uncategorized, Web Articlesby admin

For over two decades, Audio Supervisor Jose Gonzales has been responsible for capturing crystal clear sound for various broadcast programs at America’s leading Spanish-language network, Univision. During that time, Gonzales has seen many technological advances, but one thing has remained constant; his use of DPA Microphones.

Gonzales first began using DPA mics for Univision’s hit show, Sabado Gigante. “Don Francisco, the host of Sabado Gigante was very particular about the sound,” he says. “We compared them with other brands, and it was a unanimous decision to proceed with DPA; they are smaller and look and sound better. We immediately began using the d:facto™ Vocal mics for talent. We also selected headset mics for the various contestants and audience participation. We’ve been using DPA ever since. Today, approximately 95-percent of our microphones are from DPA.”

For most of Univision’s broadcast content, Gonzales currently relies on DPA’s 4000 Series microphones, including the Heavy Duty 4661 lavalier, 4018 Supercardioid and d:facto™ Vocal, as well as the 4066 and 6066 CORE headsets. “DPA is the best option for broadcast in general,” he continues. “In the studio, they are very clear and consistent, conceal easily and deliver a fantastic sound quality. Plus, they are very strong, durable and reliable mics that last a long time. DPA has a sonic consistency, that when you’re mixing all the microphone sounds together, it sounds even. I don’t notice a difference in quality or levels.”

As faith-based organizations had to quickly move online during COVID-19, they sought new tools to extend their ministry.

A leading provider of technology and payment solutions to more than 25,000 faith-based organizations across the U.S., Vanco has experienced rapid growth this year as more faith-based organizations seek online giving solutions. Following discussions with both loyal customers of 20 years and new ones of 20 days, the Vanco team quickly developed a new app, Vanco Mobile, to serve as a virtual hub to connect members and leaders of faith-based organizations even more deeply in a hybrid faith world.

Through Vanco Mobile, members can connect, donate, plan and share in new ways that foster community, while faith leaders can be assured that their ministry continues, albeit in new forms.
