Light Kit Dimmer

If you’re trying to tinker with lighting for a photoshoot or movie scene but you’re finding yourself blinded by the lights intensity, grab a light dimmer with your light kit and easily use the toggle to dim the lights as much as you like. Simply attach it to the light kit and plug it into a power source and you’re good to go.

Google Cars & The Future of Transportation

Thought I’d post a video here for anyone that wasn’t aware that these advances have been made in the last few years:

Cars that drive themselves are safe, cool, and might be something that’s not just in iRobot or similar films. Would you like to these cars in PA? Also goes to show how awesome and smart everyone at Google is!

Wearable Amp

The sound of lawn-mowers and chattering students making it hard for your tour group to hear you tell about the mermaid statue’s history or about how awesome Althouse is? Have no fear, the wearable amp is here! This small pouch has a portable amplifier complete with a headset and lapel microphone for anyone interested in having an effective way of adding a little more boom to their voice while they’re on the move.

The Future of Gaming

I thought I’d do a quick write up on this topic as anyone interested in gaming should be a little alarmed when the hear the prospect of Apple dominating the gaming market. Not necessarily alarmed in a bad way, but at the very least surprised. No matter how small Apple might have considered the “PC Gamer” market, they did historically suffer loss of sales to anyone interested in using their computer for both general (email, web-browsing, word-docs, etc.) purposes, as well as gaming purposes. Macs simply did not support high end gaming. This might not exactly be changing, but gaming itself has certainly changed with a move away from PCs and to consoles. And soon, it might not even be consoles that are dominating gaming, it might be apps. Just look on the iPhone, millions of apps are sold each year through the iPhone to promote cheap, quick, simple games that people love playing. Are these anywhere as artful or deep as certain “classics” like Starcraft? Absolutely not. But they’re dominating a market of gamers interested in playing incredibly casual games for 20-30 minutes at a time on their iPhone and then putting said game down. The hardcores might not like it, but Apple has a strategy and it’s likely to work. Read the article below for a more in depth summary and share your thoughts, do you like this sort of project? Do you think this is the future of gaming by and large, or will “hardcores” still create enough of a market to develop more expensive and more in depth games for?

Popper Stoppers are the perfect choice for someone looking to record something with vocal mics that doesn’t want a nasty “woooosshhh” sound from the air caught in with the audio.

Desktop Microphone Stand

If you’re sitting down at a desk working on a project it’s hard to fit the mic stand onto the desk and effectively use it. That’s what the desktop mic stand is for: a compact-size base to mount your mic on, especially useful for recording in the podcast nooks.

Microphone Stand

Admit it – at some point in your life you’ve wanted to grab a mic on a stand and swing it back like Freddy Mercury belting out some incredible notes. We might not be able to provide you with the heaven-sent voice to belt those high Cs but we do have the microphone stands to make you feel like a rockstar or, more practically, so you don’t have to stand there holding a vocal or instrumental mic as you’re recording! Especially useful when working in our vocal recording booth.
