Tim Vear 12/12/11 03:30 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

Brian Ingoldsby 08/12/11 07:39 AM, 0 CommentsBy using basic four track equipment, three very desirable and unusual variations of echo effects can be created. Duplication of these effects using other methods requires the use of additional tracks, more equipment and more time. The first effect, which is called (Signal Trace “A” in the diagram below) is a thing we call “angle echo.” This effect will produce a repeated signal, and is used to enhance any background, vocal or percussive effect. It is extremely useful for enriching… View this story

Jerry Ferree 06/10/11 04:31 PM, 0 CommentsEveryone who listens to pop music has at some time heard that weird swishing effect swooping down through a drum solo or a vocal group making them sound rather like a long-distance short wave broadcast. Most engineers will tell you that this is caused by phasing, yet most have only a vague idea of the mechanics involved and few still are able to produce a controlled effect. Let’s take a quick look at what happens to produce this effect and… View this story

Chris Huff 06/08/11 06:33 PM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by Behind The Mixer. Reverb is a beautiful effect that gives us the ability to bring a fuller sound to an instrument. Reverb can be used to spatially place an instrument in a mix such as sitting in the background. We can also kill our mix with reverb if we use too much or we use the wrong type of reverb. Here are three standard types of reverb and how they can be used… First,… View this story

05/17/11 09:40 AM, 0 CommentsBefore working at Coventry University in Coventry, UK, I designed anesthetic machines in a lab that was two garages end to end. The lab was long and thin, rather like a railway carriage. There was no hint of the strange events that would unfold. As I arrived one morning, I reached for the door handle and came face to face with the cleaning lady who was in a state of distress. She told me she had just been crept up… View this story

PSW Staff 05/12/11 08:58 AM, 0 CommentsPendulum Audio has announced the introduction of the DS-500 De-esser at the 130th AES Convention in London. The DS-500 is the second Pendulum product designed specifically for the 500 series format. The DS-500 is a single channel, non-tube version of the De-esser in the Pendulum Quartet Tube Recording Channel. It uses the same highly selective inductive detector and opto-inductive notch filter as the the de-esser in the Quartet, so it has the same characteristics, and very fast response. By pairing… View this story

Bruce A. Miller 04/29/11 12:02 PM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by BAMaudioschool.com. In the world of recording there are numerous kinds of effects. However, often there are more terms and details specific to each device than the average engineer would care to learn before jumping in and using the new equipment. Details are very important, though, and are critical to understanding the basic opperation of all equipment. So, let’s take a look at threshold based effects and make sure we all have a good understand… View this story

Bruce Bartlett 04/05/11 10:42 AM, 2 CommentsSuppose you just recorded a band in a club to create a live album. A few days after the gig, the drummer asks, “Can I play a drum solo in your studio, and have you add it to the album? I want it to sound “live”, as if I played it at the gig.” This happened to me. We recorded a drum solo in the studio, then edited it onto the beginning of one of the live-recorded songs. People listening… View this story

Mike Wireless 03/24/11 02:38 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 story
