Harri Huotari aka Sam Eye is Finnish songwriter and music producer
Harri Huotari aka Sam Eye is Finnish songwriter and music producer. He starting make music 2017. First single was released 2019. His music style is edm, electro and dance music. Music is melodic instrumental and vocal music and he making some ballad songs too.
Tell us about you , your goals?
– I am Harri Huotari songwriter and producer from Finland. I started writing songs in 2017 for my own pleasure and made instrumental versions of the songs for myself, which I then played for my own pleasure. Little by little, I started dreaming of publishing songs for other listeners as well. I contacted a few producers in Finland so I could publish your first self-published song. I agreed to collaborate with Tommi A. Ahonen and decided to start publishing at my own expense as an independent artist. The goal is great, to make my music heard around the world.
The artist’s name came from the fact that my father would have wanted to name his son Sami at the time. That idea first became the artist name Sam_I, but because the name was hard to use and find on social media and digital music channels, the name was changed to Sam Eye.
The first demo was completed in the spring of 2019 and the debut single was released in June 2019. Sam Eye’s music style was also very quickly selected for EDM, Electro and dance music styles, but pop music and delicate ballads are also part of the production. Initially, instrumental music was made, but very quickly the idea arose that vocal versions would also be put into production. Visiting artists are used in the songs, but I myself will be singing in the songs and one of them is the song Rich Girl released at the end of 2020, where I sing the verse parts myself.
How long in performing arts?
-I started making music in 2017 and the debut single was released in 2019. The title of the song is Feel the beat
Who inspired you ? How do you work on creating your own signature style ?
-I am inspired by such greats as David Guetta, Aan Walker of today’s big names, but also by European producer Dieter Bohlen, who influenced in the 80s and 90s.
I like the way they are produced, but also the good melodies. Personally, I focus on melodies in the songs and try to get a catchy melody in my songs that makes a person dance with fresh sounds. I also like to be versatile and make different songs
What do you want to convey through your music?
-My songs tell about life. Some of the songs are very personal stories of life, but also fictional stories I have written. For example, Rich Girl is a fictional story, but it tells of successful women and confident women in this still so world of inequality.
Story behind making of your new track? ( idea of making , some interesting inspirational facts to share)
-My new song is about remote love. I live in such a relationship myself and that’s what my song is made of. Although a long distance relationship creates its own challenges and how cruel and unfair it is to always leave and say goodbye it is great again how true love keeps the relationship together and anything is possible when there is mutual deep love
Any interesting trivia about making of song ?
-I would say that a good and catchy melody, everything is built around it.
People who you would like to thank ?
– Definitely my own spouse because she has supported my dream and of course my right hand, Tommi A. Ahonen with whom we sing my songs.
People who you would like to work with and people you idoloze to be like professionally ?
-Of course, my big dream would be to make music for other big names who could record the songs I made. It would be great, of course, to make the names I mentioned earlier, David Guetta, Alan Walker or Dieter Bohlen
Where do you see your music 3 years from now ?
-I see that my music is listened to all over the world and has reached more and more listeners. In addition, I have also developed more as a musician
How would you like to stretch your boundaries of gener in future projects ?
-I want to continue to develop in making and producing music. Develops the world of sound and develops and creates catchy but also sensitive melodies. I also want to develop into a songwriter and get my message out
Have you already started work on next project ? Anything you want to disclose about it ?
-Yes, the new song has already been completed. It is mastered and ready for release. The planned release will be in May but the date has not been locked. I am excited about the upcoming release, because I believe in its melody to receive the listener to dance it with a very catchy chorus. I still reveal that the song is about love.
Also in May I’m going to the studio to record songs in which I sing myself.
Message for Fans and listeners
-I thank all my listeners and fans who have found my music. It is a great force to continue and do this and create something new and great. Without them there is no us.

Understanding Podcasting Microphones: An In-Depth Guide for Beginners and Professionals
Types of Podcasting Microphones
Dynamic Microphones
Dynamic microphones are the most popular choice for podcasting. They convert sound into electrical signals using a diaphragm, coil, and magnet. These microphones are robust, can handle high sound pressure levels, and require less gain than other types. This makes them excellent for capturing voices in less-than-ideal acoustic environments. The Shure SM7B and the Electro-Voice RE20 are industry standards among podcasters.
Condenser Microphones
Condenser microphones are sensitive and tend to capture a wider frequency range compared to dynamic microphones. They require phantom power to operate and are ideal for capturing subtle vocal nuances, making them great for voice work in studios. Notable condenser microphones include the Audio-Technica AT2020 and the Rode NT1-A, both widely admired for their clarity and depth.
Lavalier Microphones
Lavalier microphones, or lapel mics, are small, clip-on devices ideal for interviews and on-the-go recording. They ensure hands-free operations and are particularly useful for video podcasts. Wireless options add flexibility, allowing hosts to move freely during recordings. Popular choices include the Rode SmartLav+ and the Sennheiser ME 2-II.
USB Microphones
For those looking for simplicity and convenience, USB microphones are perfect. They connect directly to a computer without the need for additional equipment. While they may not deliver the same quality as XLR microphones, models like the Blue Yeti and the Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB are excellent for beginners and home podcasters.
Important Features of Podcast Microphones
Frequency Response
Frequency response defines how a microphone reacts to different sound frequencies. Most voices fall within the 80Hz to 15kHz range, so a good podcasting microphone should adequately capture this spectrum. A flat frequency response is usually preferable, allowing for a more natural sound.
Polar Patterns
The polar pattern of a microphone determines its sensitivity in various directions. The most commonly used patterns are:
- Cardioid: Ideal for podcasting as it captures sound from the front while minimizing background noise.
- Omnidirectional: Captures sound from all directions, useful for roundtable discussions but picks up more ambient noise.
- Bidirectional: Captures sound from the front and rear, suitable for interviews between two people.
Sensitivity and Sound Pressure Level (SPL)
Sensitivity measures how effectively a microphone converts sound into an electrical signal. A higher sensitivity microphone captures softer sounds without requiring additional gain. Sound pressure level (SPL) measures how loud of a sound the microphone can handle without distortion. Choosing a mic with appropriate SPL ratings is crucial, especially in louder environments.
Essential Accessories for Podcasting Microphones
Pop Filters
Pop filters reduce plosive sounds (like “p” and “b” sounds) that can cause distortion. They are typically made of a screen or foam, which diffuses rapidly moving air before it hits the microphone diaphragm.
Microphone Stands and Boom Arms
Proper positioning is critical for optimal audio capture. Microphone stands and boom arms allow podcasters to adjust their microphone’s position easily while keeping hands free for notes or gestures.
Shock Mounts
Shock mounts prevent vibrations and handling noise from reaching the microphone, ensuring cleaner recordings. They are especially useful when recording in less controlled environments.
Audio Interfaces
For those using XLR microphones, an audio interface is necessary to convert the analog signal into digital for your computer. Popular models include the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and the PreSonus AudioBox USB, which provide excellent sound quality and ease of use.
Tips for Choosing the Right Microphone
Define Your Needs
Consider your podcasting style. Are you recording solo, interviews, or panel discussions? The type of conversations you have will dictate your microphone choice.
Budget Considerations
While it’s easy to get carried away with high-end equipment, plenty of budget-friendly microphones offer excellent quality. Determine a budget that allows for good quality without breaking the bank.
Test Before You Buy
Whenever possible, test microphones in-store to find the sound that best suits your voice. Listening to the audio capture can significantly influence your decision.
Read Reviews and Watch Tutorials
Before investing, check online reviews and tutorials. Many YouTube channels offer in-depth sound tests and comparisons to help you make informed choices.
Maintenance and Care for Podcasting Microphones
To extend the lifespan of your microphone, regular maintenance is vital. Here are some key maintenance tips:
- Keep it Clean: Dust and saliva can accumulate and affect sound quality. Use a soft cloth to wipe down your microphone regularly.
- Use Windscreens: For outdoor recording, use a windscreen to prevent wind interference and protect the mic from moisture.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store your microphone in a protective case to prevent physical damage.
Enhancing Your Podcasting Experience
Investing in a good microphone is just the beginning. To fully get the most out of your podcasting experience, include thorough planning, effective editing software, and quality recording space. An acoustically treated room, for example, can significantly reduce background noise and enhance vocal clarity.
Understanding the nuances of podcasting microphones will empower you to make informed decisions that improve your production quality. Armed with the right microphone and accessories, you can deliver a rich audio experience, engage your audience, and elevate your podcasting journey to new heights.
From the BalleBalleRadio Entertainment Desk
Manoj Bajpayee, a celebrated actor known for his powerful performances, has recently voiced his concerns regarding the pervasive influence of PR machinery within Bollywood. Bajpayee argues that the industry’s increasing focus on public relations often overshadows genuine acting talent, leading to a skewed perception of success and merit.
Bajpayee’s comments come amidst ongoing debates about the phenomenon of ‘National Crush’ titles and the superficiality of fame. He suggests that such manufactured hype can be detrimental to the careers of trained actors who dedicate themselves to the craft, but may not possess the resources or inclination for extensive self-promotion.
He emphasized the importance of acting prowess over PR stunts, highlighting the potential humiliation faced by actors who have honed their skills through rigorous training, only to be sidelined by individuals prioritizing media visibility. Bajpayee’s own career, alongside that of fellow actor Piyush Mishra, serves as an example of sustained success built on consistent, quality performances rather than fleeting PR campaigns.
