Who Says Caviar & Meatloaf Don’t Mix?
Are you hearing voices? Don’t worry. It’s just SPLAT! VO doing what we do best. With over 30 top-shelf voiceover pros in the booth, we’ve got the right sound to boost your imaging and give your station a signature sound that you (and your audience) will love.
This time, say hello to JANET AULT. She’s cool. She’s classy. She’s got just the right amount of edge. Whether you’re imaging a sleek Hot AC station, a laid-back Soft Rock format, or need a wink of wit on News Talk, Janet delivers what you need on time, every time.

Compress Without the Stress
Compression is like Spanx for your audio. It holds everything in place, smooths out the lumps, and keeps your mix sounding tight and polished. But squeeze too hard, and your mix is gasping for air, and everything gets very uncomfortable very quickly. Or something like that.
Lucky for us, Robert has found a plugin that tightens things up without cutting off your mix’s circulation. Over to you RD…
If you’re producing modern, high-impact radio imaging, this week’s featured free plugin is one you’ll want in your toolbox. TDR Kotelnikov from Tokyo Dawn Records is a clean, transparent digital compressor. It’s ideal for controlling dynamics in voiceovers, sweepers, promos, and music beds without adding unwanted coloration.
Unlike analog-modeled plugins, Kotelnikov is proudly digital, designed from the ground up to offer precision and flexibility. It’s especially effective when you need to keep your mixes punchy, clear, and consistent across all playback platforms.

Cocky, self-deprecating, full of swagger.
What’s that you say? You need an imaging voice? You’ve got your eyes in the right space, so now let your ears follow. When you work with SPLAT! VO, you get no egos and no excuses; just great reads, great vibes, and great results. We have more than 30 voices to choose from.
This time around, we’re featuring ROOSTER. He’s an energetic voice talent with a healthy dose of swagger, and his work resonates on Country, AC, and Classic Hits. Listen to his demo at the bottom of the page. If you like what you hear, you can book Rooster here.
Your New Studio…for the Price of a Plugin
You’ve finally got your studio just right for mixing. The sound treatments are strategically spaced, external noise is at a minimum, your mix monitors are angled perfectly, and you are now in the zone. Or, is it all just in your head? It could be.
Here’s Robert with his latest pick, the inspiring audio plugin from Lewitt, Space Replicator.
Lewitt’s new Space Replicator plugin brings the experience of high-end mixing rooms straight to your headphones, no treated studio required. Using high-resolution virtual acoustic spaces, it simulates professional environments like Vienna Synchron Stage, the Watergate Club, and even car interiors or smartphones, so you can hear your mix exactly as it will translate in the real world.

He Recorded a Typewriter So You Don’t Have To
Congrats to our sound design partner, Robert Dudzic of TRYNITY HDFX. He’s just released his latest collab with Heavyocity, and he’s here to tell us about it. Robert, over to you…
Step inside my world of sound design.
Today, I’m giving you an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how I created DAMAGE MACHINA — my latest cinematic sound design library, released in collaboration with my friends at Heavyocity.
In this video, I’ll walk you through the full creative process: from recording the raw mechanical sounds — steam engines, typewriters, antique machines, industrial clanks and clangs — to transforming them into powerful, percussive instruments. (more…)

Music For Those “Almost Done” Moments
The spot’s almost done. Almost.
VO’s tight. Edit’s clean. You’re this close to calling it a wrap… except the music isn’t working, and the sound effect you need apparently doesn’t exist in the known universe. Sound familiar? Hey, we’ve all been there.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with some of the best production music libraries in the biz to bring you the solution for those almost done moments.
Hundreds of thousands of production music beds and sound effects from 5 Alarm and Westar are now available through SPLAT! And..because there is always an “and”…all radio stations that sign up for one of our music libraries will also get one of our imaging libraries free of charge for a year.
Great music and great imaging, in one great deal. Get started here.
