Audio engineering, voices, music, sound design, and anything else I can get my hands on!

Come meet the team behind Snootwafel! We're drawing closer to the completion of the first episode, and these are the people who are hard at work! Snootwafel is super excited, and we hope you are, too!

@UnsytedParasyte I'd like to learn more about the project and lend a hand where necessary. Always happy to chat!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@Caddicarus I recall seeing your drum cover videos, must have been nearly a decade ago. Maybe one of these days we can work on something together! I hope you're doing well.

@rodemics While dynamic mics may not require phantom power, if you're using a Shure SM7B, you'd best be using a Cloudlifter and turning it on!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@JeffereyNerisVA That's really neat! I like the energy you gave it, nice work!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@JeffereyNerisVA A Neumann, nice! Excited to hear it!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@sleepykatsmedia Hi, I saw you were in need of audio work, and I was hoping to get some more info about your project. Would like to chat a bit when you can spare some time!

@amandafortini Going a step further, one of this position might then claim the composition as their own, as with AI art. Telling a machine to mimic another's artistic expression does not make one an owner of said expression.

@JeffereyNerisVA If you're ever ready to put in some extra money, I highly recommend the Shure KSM44! If you can get one used in decent shape, it's absolutely worth your investment!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@MrClay1983 I'm liking the style! I'm happy to hear you're committing to getting stuff done. Best wishes on your project! Reach out if you'd ever like a hand.

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@JoeySourlisVo Definitely! Sometimes we may want to add those breaths into certain takes to add character or life into a line. It can always be edited as long as the delivery is good, but you can't deliver properly if you aren't breathing!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@TheUncleAlShow My two go-to recommendations are the SM7B (less expensive) and the KSM44 (pricey, but great). I use both in my studio, and if you use them in tandem, you'll never miss a take due to peaks. The SM7B needs a lot of clean gain though, so a Cloudlifter and phantom power are needed!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@BeastialCarnage Very cool! It's a bit out of my register, but I'd be remiss if I didn't try anyway. I'll get in touch soon!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

It's #indieanimationday and Snootwafel wanted to say hello! Go support your favorite indie artists today, and show all of those wonderful projects some love!

@Neo_MesoPost @nolaklop @diana_kennedy How adorable! Can't wait to see more of this. Great work!

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@PaladonHD I have no doubt that you'll go on to do awesome things. Your can-do attitude speaks for itself. Keep it up, friend.

[Mason Slate @MasonSlateSound]

@Egretious Try changing your angle of approach! Angle the mic toward your mouth, but dont vocalize directly at it. Imagine making a triangle, with the mic facing you at a 45 degree angle. Beside that, use a good de-esser / plosive tamer plugin. I hope that helps! Good luck!
