Want Effervescent Sounds? Time to Get Bubbly with Carbonated Audio

Here’s something sure to perk up your mixes. Carbonated Audio has introduced POUR, a new Mid/Side stereo imager designed for producers who need tighter, wider, and more controlled mixes that translate on-air, online, and in mono playback.  And Robert is here to give you the lowdown.

As the fourth plugin in the Carbonated Audio lineup—joining Carbonator (saturation), De-Sipper (de-esser), and On Tap (sidechain ducker)—POUR brings advanced stereo shaping tools tailored for modern production workflows.

Inspired by the SSL Fusion Stereo Image hardware and Alan Blumlein’s classic stereo shuffling concept, POUR gives imaging producers precise control over low-end width, center focus, and stereo movement without sacrificing mono compatibility.

Here’s what radio imagers are going to love:

Shuffle + Space
Tighten or widen low frequencies between 40–400 Hz for stronger, cleaner low-end impact. (more…)

Awesome Imaging + Fantastic Voiceover!

A passable voiceover with average production isn’t the goal for most radio stations when it comes to their branding and imaging. Nor, of course, should it be!  But awesome imaging coupled with Fantastic Voiceover? Now you’re talking.  That’s what brings the station sound together!  And that’s why we’re proud to work with, and feature in our production, a wide array of wildly talented imaging voices…including stars like Neil Wilson and his Fantastic Voiceover! Or to be more precise, “FANTasTic VOICEoveR…!!!”

How to describe Neil?  Let’s try this: “From flat-out exuberance to forthright honesty, Neil is the guy next to you at the game to the guy next door- your buddy and your bro, there when you need him. A direct and no-nonsense engagement style, making your station sound both friendly and highly functional. If you love ad-libs, then Neil is your guy.”  You can hear him on cool stations like WMMM, KALC, KKGO, WMC, WSTR, WDAF, KBEA, WKYL, WOWY, and many more.  You can hear his demos here.  And if you want to know more about working with Neil, you can always send a message here.
