We’re thrilled to pair each station with some of our top-tier voice talent: Rachel Logan on WQFX, Steve O’Brien on WKZA, Lori Wild on WJTN, Glen Hanson on WHUG, and Janet Ault on WWSE.
Local radio deserves standout sound, and that’s exactly what we deliver. With SPLAT! CUSTOM, imaging is easy, awesome, and done right the first time. (Hey, we’re people pleasers…what can we say?)
Need a boost in your station’s sound? Let’s talk. We’ve got the team, the talent, and the tools to make it happen.
Edgy. Versatile. Unmistakable.

Stay Cool – SPLAT! Summer Survival Guide
There’s no way to sugar coat it, and even if there were, the sugar would be melting. This heat dome is making it extremely hot, almost everywhere. Outside, inside, there’s no escape. Maybe your studio AC is struggling to keep up, or perhaps you’re testing the upper limits of your antiperspirant while you’re sweating through another “urgent” promo that’s due in… oh, look, 10 minutes ago.
But here’s the good news in all this hot mess: (more…)
Not Just a Voice, a VIBE! Meet Ben Burnside
The SPLAT! VO team continues to grow, featuring a bold mix of national favorites and fresh, up-and-coming artists.
Here’s a voice you’re sure to recognize. A guy that slides into your speakers like he owns the place, with a voice that’s so silky and smooth you’ll want to pour it over ice.
He’s been the sound behind Dallas legends like Smooth R&B 105.7 and Majic 94-5. He’s added swagger to Sony campaigns and brought velvet to Def Jam projects. From Urban AC to Classic Hip Hop, this guy doesn’t just talk to your audience, he connects with them. Yeah, you guessed it, he’s Ben Burnside. You can hear his demo below, and you can book Ben here.
Old School Cool. New School Muscle.
Are you ready for a plugin that acts like it’s 1983 but thinks like it’s 2025. It’s a vintage-style dynamic enhancer modeled after the dbx® 1BX, now tailored for modern radio imaging. If you want your beds to bounce, your VO to stand out, and your sweeps to hit harder than a quad espresso, this one is just your type. Type X, that is, and Robert is here to tell us more…
TYPE X – Audio Enhancer for Radio Imaging Pros
Bring your imaging elements to life with Type X from Audio Thing, a precision emulation of the legendary dbx® Model 1BX—a vintage dynamic range expander originally built to breathe new energy into compressed audio. Now reimagined for today’s fast-paced production world, Type X delivers that same retro vibe with the power and control modern radio demands.
Designed to add punch, presence, and clarity, Type X dynamically boosts the contrast between soft and loud moments, perfect for making your sweeps, beds, and transitions stand out in a dense mix. (more…)
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.
Check out her demo below. If you like what you hear, book Janet here.
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.
Why Radio Producers Should Use It: (more…)
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.
