New for ’22!

In 2021 we celebrated the 20th anniversary of SPLAT! by introducing four new imaging libraries and a number of new services.  And, of course, how can we forget the thousands of excellent imaging pieces we produced for SPLAT! stations?

So, how are we going to top that?  Stand by!  2022 is going to be even better, even bigger, even SPLAT!er. We’ll soon be introducing more new libraries, more new services, and an amazing new website interface that makes the production process even smoother.  It’s all headed your way in the new year.

Hit Songs Need Hit Radio Imaging

Ed Sheeran makes radio hits! SPLAT! makes hit radio imaging.
Here’s a quick song intro we produced for “Bad Habits.” This is a little different than our typical branded song intros, which we create for new and trending songs. This one is written and produced for a song that is already a hit…because this is how hits come together! Just listen. VO courtesy of ChadErickson with Melissa Moats.

The summer of SPLAT! rolls on….

So much radio imaging for summer, you’re going to need a bigger cooler.  Kick back, relax.  SPLAT! has this covered.

 

Celebrate with SPLAT!

Since 2001 we’ve been producing fun, unique, and stand-out audio and imaging for radio.
For our 20th anniversary we have a lot of cool things in store for you! Stay tuned, it’s going to be a fun year.

 

 

EQ 4 VO – BIG BOOM edition

We’re always happy to welcome contributions from guest writers, producers, thinkers, creatives, friends, friends of friends, allies, etc.  Here’s a lotta wisdom from one of our favorite polymaths, Tony Maddox.  You may have seen his original and highly imaginative art and illustration work on his awesome website and you’ve no doubt heard his imaging work on Philly’s WMMR, WMGK and BEN-FM, where he’s worked with some of the biggest, boldest voices in the biz.  Since big voices often come with big bottoms (low end frequencies, we mean) knowing how to tame the lowest lows is an art form in itself.  Enough words from us, let’s let Tony share his…..

SIMPLE SECRETS TO MIXING THE PERFECT VOICE-OVER

(Quick note, none of the products mentioned in this article are endorsements or paid advertisements. They’re all products I purchased.)

A rock-solid VO is arguably the most important part of any piece of production. Chances are, if you’re working with a pro, the read will be spot-on. But often, with a great read comes a great big gigantic booming voice that can rattle your teeth out of your ears (this may or may not be scientifically accurate…). How do you wrangle that boom and cram the Voice of Zeus into an already-busy mix?

Front Line Radio

The rhythms of the world may be out of sync, but if you listen to radio, the beat goes on. Now, more than ever, radio is doing what it does best–adapting, enduring, and providing a vital link to spread support, information, and comfort to the community in a way no other medium can. The work is hard, but it’s never been more important. Radio is essential. And so are you.
