Dynamic range can be defined as the distance between the loudest possible level to the lowest possible level. For example, if a processor states that the maximum input level before distortion is +24 dBu and the output noise floor is -92 dBu, then the processor has a total dynamic range of 24 + 92 = 116 dB. However, the average dynamic range of an orchestral performance can range from - 50 dBu to +10 dBu on average. This equates to…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. Whenever you’re recording, especially when dealing with vocals, there often comes a time when the mix sounds pretty good, and then things take a turn for the worse. All you did was perform a little processing and suddenly transients that once were soft are suddenly piercing and have ruined the mix. What to do? While you can try to simply EQ the track, that can easily ruin what was previously a…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: I’m working on an album and I’m really having alot of trouble getting the rhytmeh guitar to sound just “right”. What i’ve discoverd is that it needs to sound more open, with maybe a more stereo feel. However, the problem I’m having is that when I tracked the instruments I only threw one mic on the amp. Of course, basically everything else was recorded stereo! So, now I’m at a loss. What can I do?…
