by Mike Schramm (Feb 12th, 2010)

Blue Microphones are on the show floor here at Macworld, and they invited us by their booth to take a look (and a listen) at the newest version of the Blue Mikey iPhone microphone. And with most of Blue's products (I have a Snowball that I use for podcasting, and it works and sounds great), it's ...

iSaidWhat?! lets you put a twist on words

by Sang Tang (Jan 20th, 2010)

Arguments happen, words are thrown, and words are sometimes misconstrued. "Stop putting words in my mouth!", someone might say to you. With Tapparatus's iSaidWhat?! [iTunes link], now you can put words in someone else's mouth. Well, sort of. In addition to serving as a basic voice recorder, ...

Count The Beats: Interview with a mixing engineer

by Matt Tinsley (Dec 6th, 2009)

In the last year I've spent a fair amount of time doing some recordings. In particular, I've been working on some of my own material.

Novelty and social applications are a big hit on the iPhone. A new one from the folks of Taptivate is sure to be a big hit when it is released in the near future. Voices for iPhone is touted as an "audio recorder with a twist" and even a "social voicemail" utility. With Voices [iTunes Link], ...

AudioBoo lets you broadcast audio directly from the iPhone

by Mike Schramm (Jun 26th, 2009)

Back when we looked at Radar, a photosharing site with an accompanying iPhone app, I mentioned that while Twitter had monopolized the "text exporting" function from your iPhone, there would be a slew of companies to try and grab the rest of the media you want to broadcast.

12seconds, Animoto release iPhone apps for video slideshows

by Mike Schramm (Dec 29th, 2008)

12seconds.tv is a site that started up a little while ago that seems to be aiming at a "Twitter-for-video" kind of idea -- you upload just twelve seconds of video, whether that's you saying something, video of a short scene, or whatever else you want. The site was in alpha but has recently opened up ...

And the ...

TUAW Tip: Use ambient noise reduction for chats and sound recording

by David Chartier (Feb 28th, 2007)

I do a decent amount of audio recording and chatting, but I don't ever remember seeing this option in System Preferences until last night. Turning on the "Use ambient noise reduction" feature under the Input tab of the Sound pane can help cut out the TV or dogs barking in the background, though ...
