Joe Gilder 04/12/11 09:45 AM,This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. A question I’m often asked is “Do You Mix With Headphones”, which I think is something worth discussing. To start, here are a few comments I’ve received in response to this very question: David S. I cater to the most popular form of listening. So far, I’ve found that mixing to headphones and then listening on speakers has worked. I’m not Rick Rubin, but neither is anyone else who is not… View this story

Sound needs a medium; an intervening substance through which it can travel from point to point; it must be carried on something. That something can be solid, liquid or gas. They can hear you scream underwater ... briefly. Water is a medium. Air is a medium. Nightclub walls are a medium.… View this story

Joe Gilder 04/05/11 11:35 AM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. As you can probably imagine, I get a lot of emails. A lot. Between emails, blog comments, Facebook and Twitter questions, etc., I see a lot of recurring themes. One of the biggest is the “What’s the best…” questions. What’s the best mic for vocals? What’s the best mic for acoustic guitar? What’s the best preamp for under $49? Which recording software is the best? You’ll find this a lot in… View this story

Joe Gilder 03/29/11 12:20 PM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. There are a lot of things to focus on during a tracking session, especially when you’re recording a dozen or more inputs at once. You want to make sure you’re getting a good sound from each microphone. That’s step one. Let’s be honest, you’ll spend the rest of your recording life perfecting step one… For now, I want to focus on step two – getting good levels, both when you’re tracking… View this story

Mike Wireless 03/24/11 01:38 PM,One of the topics that I’ve seen poorly understood, and even deliberately used to mislead people, is the issue of wireless microphone transmitter power and the effects said power has on system performance. Let’s start with the basics: all things being equal, more transmitter power = more range for the system, but not in a linear way. In broad terms, when discussing analog wireless systems, the receiver wants to see a signal from a transmitter that is at least about… View this story10 Comments

Joe Gilder 03/23/11 09:55 AM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. Limitless audio. That’s the beauty of digital recording. I can record a lead vocal as many times as I want. I can have a guitarist come in and play a hundred different versions of a guitar solo. Then I can stay up until the wee hours of the morning, sifting through all the different takes to find the perfect one. That’s a good thing, right? Well, it can be. However, having… View this story

Harvey Gerst 03/18/11 08:21 AM,Question posed by laptoppop How often do you use compression while tracking, especially on an inexperienced vocalist? I have avoided it so far - because I want to keep it clean and add it later, if needed - but I’m wondering about putting something like the RNC (Really Nice Compressor from FMR Audio) in super-nice mode set only to kick in if the singer goes way beyond what they did while we were setting the initial levels. Seems like most… View this story

Joe Gilder 03/09/11 10:53 AM, 2 CommentsThis article is provided by Home Studio Corner. Like many of you, I’m in the process of doing a few upgrades in my studio. Whenever I’m looking to buy a new piece of equipment or upgrade an existing piece of equipment, I try to ask one simple question: What will help me make better recordings? My goal isn’t to marginally improve the recordings. Rather, I’m looking for holes in my system. I’m looking for weak links. For example, I… View this story

James Cadwallader 03/07/11 12:15 PM, 0 CommentsWhenever I’m at the local Guitar Hut, I like to listen to the people who come in and talk with the pro audio sales guy about gear. These conversations are often filled with nebulous audiophilic adjectives like “warm”, “sweet” and “punchy”. The sales guy has little motivation to be a source of truthful or accurate information. He just wants to make a sale. Meanwhile many of his customers already have their minds made up as to what piece of gear… View this story
