PSW Staff 03/26/13 01:37 PM,The original plan was simply to upgrade Sammy Hagar’s project studio – Red Rocker – so that he and his super group Chickenfoot could deliver decent-sounding demos. But after consultation with his engineer, John Cuniberti (Stevie Wonder, Dead Kennedys, Joe Satriani), Hagar ended up purchasing a 16-channel API 1608 analog console. They recorded Chickenfoot’s first demo on the 1608 several years ago, and, owing to the magic of a few takes and the sonic integrity imparted by the 1608, several… View this story

Charlie Hughes 03/15/13 04:29 PM,We are all familiar (or at least should be) with a low-pass and high-pass filter. As the name implies, they pass one part of the audio spectrum while attenuating the others. They are the basis for loudspeaker crossovers. As with any analog filter there is phase shift associated with the change in output magnitude of these filters. Examples of these are shown in Figure 1 (below) as fourth-order Linkwitz-Riley filters. If we were to add the output of these filters… View this story

David Miles Huber & Robert E. Runstein 02/11/13 04:50 PM,Go here for the first installment of this article. The Magnetic Tape Head Most professional analog recorders use three magnetic tape heads, each of which performs a specialized task: —Record—Reproduce—Erase The function of a record head (Figure 1) is to electromagnetically transform analog electrical signals into corresponding magnetic fields that can be permanently stored onto magnetic tape. In short, the input current flows through coils of wire that are wrapped around the head’s magnetic pole pieces. Since the theory of… View this story
