While memory has stood the test of time as our internal scratchpad, technology has gotten more capable, more compact, more accessible each generation.

Many people don’t know the smartphones and tablets they carry on their person everyday is several times more powerful than the most iconic 4-track recorders, drum machines and groove boxes. When an iPhone or Galaxy device is running GarageBand, Cubasis 3 or , paired with a modest MIDI controller like the ATOM SQ by PreSonus or the Akai MPK Mini – the creative abilities are on par with a recording studio that would have cost tens of thousands 15 years ago.

PreSonus Revelator Review

PreSonus, manufacturers of some of the world’s most renowned Audio Interfaces, Control Boards, Mixing Consoles, Preamps, and Microphones – releases the Revelator USB mic for project studios , gamers and podcasters. We take it through the paces to see if it adds something new to the market and offers new and rare features. To find out where the Revelator stands in the grand scheme of a recording setup, keep reading.

The Revelator Mic is USB-C powered, and connects to Mac, PC, Android and iOS devices. For Windows and MacOS, it has a software hub that adds the ability to broadcast a feedback signal (useful for podcasts) and source mixing (game streaming). But the most useful and powerful feature, is the Revelator’s ability to save up to 5 audio effect Presets directly into the microphone.

Top to Bottom: Preset (light blue), Monitor (dark blue), Volume (Press for Mute)

The Revelator Mic comes with 5 effects pre-installed, Plain/Dry, Broadcast, Slap Echo, Female Voice, and Screamer – which reminded me of a Megaphone. Any or all of the presets could be replaced with a new effect by connecting the Mic to your device with the software installed simply by connecting to two devices using the included USB-C cord.

The Revelator’s Default Preset is effect-free, and it has a flat and dry audio signal that provides clear and crisp vocals or field audio. Broadcast adds a rich EQ, Low Pass Filter, and AutoDuck all in one to give that ‘Radio Announcer’ sound. Female Voice is a Chipmunk-y, high pitched effect; as Screamer and Slap Echo have more self-explanatory Preset names.

The ATOM SQ + Revelator Mic + Studio One 5 = A Full-featured Music Studio (PC not included)

Revelator is a part of a suite of products from Presonus that offers an all in one solution for audio recording from the Home to full-fledged Recording Studios. Like in the picture above, where you can see the Revelator as part of a modern home recording studio. It comes with a table stand in the box, but it’s compatible with any standard mic stand, so it can be an all-around ‘Swiss Mic’ for recording any type of sound.

Maybelline Fit Me Tinted Moisturizer: The New Era of Makeup

Makeup has been around for centuries. To note that as of the mid 2000’s many trends have come and gone from the infamous Instagram brows, to contouring and highlighting, baking, over-lined lip liner or even winged eyeliner to name a few. As recent as this pandemic one particular makeup product has taken the makeup world by storm . Today I will be introducing, Maybelline Fit Me Tinted Moisturizer on whether or not this should be considered a staple in any women or man’s makeup kits. Is this trend a beauty or an absolute bust ? Let’s find out.

Ever since the pandemic has been on the rise while mask have taken over our daily lives. Many women and man find it hard to wear tons of foundation or any makeup to be exact. With that being said tinted moisturizers are the perfect compliment to foundation. The added moisture along with a slight tint of color gives off a natural effortless look. It is also easy to blend using a brush, beauty blender, and yes of course your hands.

For those who want more coverage this tinted moisturizer is buildable without feeling heavy on the face. I also noticed that this pairs well with a translucent power over top for a matte finish. I prefer a more dewy look on days where I want my skin to look plump and hydrated. There are many ways you can wear this product. If you’re more into a natural look just to even out your skin. Or you want a full glammed look for a night out without having to pack on loads of foundation but still want to look good. This tinted moisturizer is the way to go.

Depending on which drugstore you choose to shop at this tinted moisturizer cost only $10.99. Some store even price it at $9.99. Either way it only cost $10 or less to get such a good value for this product. Maybelline also offers it in 14 different shades for all skin tones. Compared to other high end tinted moisturizers this one surely stands it’s match. Not only is it affordable the coverage is better than others.

My verdict is this, I will say that although Maybelline tinted moisturizer is good. I would consider this product to be a beauty. Many can argue that it can be a bust, though that depends on personal opinion when it comes to makeup and how one likes to wear it. To me it’s perfect for my makeup needs. I will be repurchasing this tinted moisturizer for many years to come. I do think it is a staple in anyones makeup kit.
