C.C. Hogan - Author

I have at last come to the end of the studio refit and am now settling down to some serious fun!

I have a friend (oh, good for me!) She is eleven, just, and is rather mad about unicorns. Oh, she likes dragons, but if all my dragons were to magically turn into unicorns I would have a friend for life.

So, I have started writing a tale which includes unicorns. Of course, this is me, and I can't stick with a simple fairy tale, can I! Nope, it is developing into a potential series aimed at 11 ups with plenty of adult stuff in there as well. Fun!

The Jack Calder series of books are written by Seumas Gallacher and are a fast-paced, hard-edged series of seven books following a group of former SAS commandos in their work for an international security company.

I am turning them into audiobooks for your delight!

From time to time, the subject of breaths in recording comes up - should they stay or should they go?

The answer is, of course, quite simple - they should stay. But let me breath a little life into this debate and explain why.

I am just starting out on a long-term venture to record the most famous books by Charles Dickens in my London Accent.

This is a big departure from the normal RP British presentation, but I think it brings the stories to life in a new, wonderful way.

This is a look at how I am currently using RX 7 Standard with Cubase Pro when working on my audiobook recordings.

This is not a review as such and may well grow over time as I learn more.
