Al Keltz 09/13/12 04:03 PM,Latency is delay that occurs in audio systems due to the time it takes for sound to travel from place to place, and/or due to the time it takes for digital components to perform calculations. However, anecdotal effects of latency sometimes reach almost mystical proportions. We’ve been told about a certain “psycho-acoustic” phenomenon that causes singers to become disoriented, even with extremely small amounts of latency. Then there was a tale of a drummer that was being “driven crazy” because… View this story

Dave Rat 08/28/12 11:57 AM,How fast do sound signals travel through the various parts of the sound system? Do sound signals travel faster in analog snake cables or fiber optic cables? Also, what about transmission through the air with wireless mics? And where do the true and relevant sources of time lag exist in a audio system? What I find really interesting is that sound signal travels at differing speeds depending on whether it’s in the form of electricity, or sound waves in air,… View this story

Tim Vear 12/12/11 02:30 PM,An important consideration in microphone use is acoustic interference, which can occur whenever delayed versions of the same sound are mixed together, acoustically or electrically. With mics, this may happen in several ways: mics of reverse polarity picking up the same sound, multiple mics picking up the same sound from different distances, a single mic picking up multiple reflections of the same sound, or any combination of these. The results are similar in each case, and include audible peaks and… View this story

Curt Taipale 05/26/11 09:45 AM, 0 CommentsAt the heart of what we call “effects” in professional audio is the delaying of sound. Virtually any audio effect - reverb, flanging, chorusing, phaser, echoing, looping, etc. - uses (and manipulates) delay in one form or another. You’ve probably heard the repetition of a person’s words in a large canyon. The first sound is the voice arriving directly to our ears, and then moments later, the voice repeats after the sound wave has traveled across the canyon and back… View this story

Dan Laveglia 03/18/11 05:50 PM, 0 CommentsHaving spent some extended time with just a couple of artists, a few years ago (2006 to be exact) I recently found myself in an unfamiliar position. I was not going to be touring with anyone. It was therefore time to see what I was made of. Time for some “one-offs”—you know, those pesky little shows where you really don’t know what’s going on until you are actually doing it. No stage looms, dialed-in consoles or “girlie” techs allowed on… View this story

PSW Staff 06/01/10 08:10 AM, 0 CommentsEngineer and guitarist Sean Gould works with some of the best up-and-coming and established acts in the music industry, with recent projects have that include Train Save Me, San Francisco, Boys Like Girls Love Drunk, Uncle Kracker Happy Hour, and much more. For his mixes, Gould relies heavily on Metric Halo ChannelStrip, a plug-in that combines equalization, dynamics, and delay, to turn out his known results on short deadlines. Gould, who prefers to mix in the box for portability, values… View this story

Mark Frink 02/26/10 02:12 PM, 0 CommentsAs with all sizes of modular line array enclosures there are several designs in the “mini” genre, which we define as those with 7-inch “woofers”. The simplest two-way systems have a single cone driver and a high-frequency driver, side by each. Some employ dual woofers, and those with a center high-frequency section that provides horizontal symmetry. Quasi-three-way solutions use dual woofers, but cross one over earlier, so the other is the single source of mid-range, eliminating cancellations. True three-way designs… View this story

PSW Staff 08/28/09 10:06 AM, 0 CommentsIn Howard Community College’s Smith Theater in Columbia, Maryland, a typical day might include everything from theater and film to lectures and meetings, with the occasional live concert thrown in as well. With inputs ranging from a single voice up to 56 inputs and outputs that might be mono, stereo or full surround sound, it was critical that this multifunctional space have a sound system with maximum flexibility and sonic clarity. The college chose an Allen & Heath iLive-112 digital… View this story
