I’ll tell you about an awesome image editor called CameraBag Pro that’s available in Setapp, then I’ll tell the story of the products I’ve bought to try to deaden the sound in my new studio – from a sound-absorbing blanket to a Dyson fan. Bart is back with a great Security Bits where oddly we […]

Quiet – Recording in Progress! Blankets and Dyson Fan Required
Dyson AM06 Fan as I Record I’ve recorded the NosillaCast from our bedroom for the first 13 years, but after we did a remodel and repainted the house, I decided to move into one of our spare bedrooms. This change has some great advantages. The best thing about having my own room is I can […]

Visual of the Digital Honk On NosillaCast episode 739, hosted by Allister Jenks while I was gone, the lovely Sandy Foster, aka my Wing Woman, submitted a recording about the AirFly. Unfortunately there was a teribble audio artifact in the final, produced podcast episode. You may or may not have heard this problem, as when […]

GTA Bluetooth Car Kit Review
While I admit to some envy of Allison driving around in a brand new Tesla, I’m still happy with my new car. I say new. It was new when I got it. 13 years ago. I’ve adhered to the manufacturer’s servicing program almost perfectly, including having the servicing done by them, and it has barely […]

Zoom H4n Pro as a Portable Recorder and Interface
Zoom H4n Pro $220 on Amazon I’ve been wanting a better way to make audio recordings on the road for a long time. When I’ve needed to record when away from home, I have been using an ATR 2100 USB/XLR mic hooked up to my MacBook Pro, but that’s not truly portable. As I mentioned […]

Sony WH-1000XM3 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones — by Allister Jenks
It’s not often I buy something “high end” on impulse, but circumstances conspired against me. A colleague at work was raving about the headphones he had been given for Christmas. Worse, he brought them over and told me to put them on. Now, I have no trouble mentally tuning out the industrial noises of our […]

Pzizz — Sleep and Focus Aid App by Allister Jenks
The date was January 2007. The iPhone was known but not released, the iPod touch was not known. I was a recent convert to a 20” iMac and my only other Apple product was a 5th generation iPod. Little did I know that iPod would fail horribly a couple of months later, but it was […]
