Curt Taipale 05/20/11 03:11 PM, 0 CommentsFrom a technical standpoint, the useful life expectancy of the mixing console you purchase this week is six to ten years at best. Its growing repair costs coupled with improvements in console design will warrant purchasing a replacement unit within that time frame. It’s also likely that your need for inputs and outputs will have grown beyond the capacity of that console, so it will be time for a change anyway. There are over 40 manufacturers of consoles. Finding the… View this story

Jon Tidey 05/18/11 11:16 AM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. I recently shared some tips for recording great vocals, so it only seems logical to carry on with the process and get them sitting right in the mix. Here are some simple steps you might want to take to ensure that your vocal track is working together with the rest of your mix. Cleanup Before anything, clean up the vocal tracks. Go through and trim the silence around each phrase. Remove… View this story

Jon Tidey 05/11/11 11:02 AM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Recording vocals can be extremely tricky even under the most perfect of circumstances. However, as we well know, the perfect circumstances aren’t encountered by everyone from day to day. So, here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re tackling that next vocal session. Try Isolation Many studios don’t have a dedicated vocal booth, or simply don’t have the space for one. The next best thing is some acoustic… View this story

PSW Staff 05/10/11 10:35 AM, 0 CommentsWhen Messenger Media Systems of Covington, Georgia was called in to do the audio for the New Life Church, the primary challenge was providing a powerful system for a spacious sanctuary on a limited budget. As Senior Systems Engineer Christopher Bragg, puts it, “The client had purchased an old high school which they used for administrative offices and built a large sanctuary behind it. “It was a 2,000-seat church and they only had $100,000 for the audio system because they’d… View this story

PSW Staff 05/10/11 09:08 AM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. I recently finished up a fun little EP project with an artist who is a phenomenal female singer/songwriter. Early on in the project she told me she wanted everything to have a very acoustic, folky feel - almost bluegrass. To that end, we avoided using drums or any heavy percussion, and we stayed away from “electric” instruments, like electric guitar and bass. While this approach kept the instrumentation fairly simple, it… View this story

Joe Gilder 05/03/11 10:04 AM, 2 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. One of the most difficult things to do is maintain energy in a recording session. Often musicians find it difficult to play along to a metronome/click track without sacrificing some musicality. Personally, I love playing to a click track, even live. It just helps “lock” everyone into place musically. I’m certainly not suggesting that you must use a click track on every recording session, but you may be wondering “Should I… View this story

Joe Gilder 04/26/11 09:58 AM, 2 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. When I started recording more seriously, I was spending most of my time in professional studios. Fancy studios are awesome. You’ve got a pretty control room with a big console, patchbay, and couches. You’ve got a nice big tracking room, and you’ve probably got a couple of extra rooms or vocal booths thrown in there. All this is great, however, for those recording in personal studios, chances are the musicians you… View this story

Joe Gilder 04/19/11 10:20 AM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. You hear it all over the place. “Help! My mixes don’t translate!” In other words, “My mix sounds awesome in my studio, but then when I play it anywhere else – in my car, on my stereo, on my iPod – it sounds awful.” What’s the problem? It could be any number of things – your monitors, your room, your headphones…maybe even your recordings themselves. But let’s step away from talking… View this story
