Todd Lewis 06/04/13 06:31 PM,With festival season upon us, I got to thinking that there are plenty of articles that tell us which knob to turn, which button to push, and other mechanical methods of our trade. So I’ve set out here to provide information on some of the other “not so obvious” aspects to keep in mind when working gigs this summer and fall. These are things that I’ve encountered in touring as well as here in “home territory” at local festival settings.… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 06/04/13 10:54 AM,This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. Bruce Swedien is truly the godfather of recording engineers, having recorded and mixed hits from everyone from Count Basie, Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie to Barbra Streisand, Donna Summer and Michael Jackson. He’s a mentor of mentors, as so many of his teachings are now handed down to a generation now just learning (his interview in The Mixing Engineer’s Handbook is a standout). Bruce is also a collector of microphones and will… View this story

Paul Watson 06/03/13 05:23 PM,Not many 16-year-olds are lucky enough to land their first job as a system tech on a Bon Jovi tour; however, Graham Burton was no ordinary teenager. Technically, in fact, his pro audio career actually began some four years earlier, when he landed a work experience role with local UK firm Richard Barker PA Services. That was 1989, and by the turn of the century, the British-born Burton had toured internationally as a monitor engineer, front of house engineer… View this story

Karl Winkler 05/31/13 05:31 PM,Being the online forum lurker that I sometimes am, there are times when I’m struck by a pattern or trend that was never clear before (for whatever reason). It happened just a few weeks ago, and the context is relevant to what we do in our business of live sound. This particular discussion, on a music forum, was a thread about “the great tone we’ve spent years perfecting that is destroyed when it goes through a PA.” (You guessed it… View this story

Gary Zandstra 05/24/13 05:11 PM,What is it about sound engineers and musicians getting along? In my experience, getting these two groups in sync is like putting angry cats in a room full of dogs. Sometimes there’s enough tension that it feels as though a fight is going to break out. While commissioning a sound system in another state, my friend Jeff saw the cats and dogs ready to brawl, and also picked up some new lingo that I’d like to share with you here.… View this story

Charles Szczepanek 05/24/13 03:01 PM,This article is provided by the Pro Audio Files. Dusk had settled in, and I was on my way to the studio. Excitement ran through my veins like high-octane fuel through a well-tuned engine. I had been invited by a student at a local recording and audio production school to come in for a free recording session… Upon arriving at the studio… The engineer wasn’t anywhere to be found, nothing was set up, and I sat in a less-than-plush… View this story

Bob Buontempo 05/16/13 04:41 PM,To begin with, there are many things that you cannot do in a home studio. A competent recording of a live band - still the mainstay of the recording industry - is usually impossible in your bedroom. Fitting an orchestra in there is also challenging. And even though the topic of this piece is whether award-winning (i.e., Grammy) music can be conceived, recorded and mastered in a home studio, there’s nothing to indicate that any such recordings actually have been.… View this story

Greg DeTogne 05/09/13 05:19 PM,The Black Crowes have returned with this year’s Lay Down With Number 13 tour, emerging triumphantly fit and in full fighting form from an “indefinite” hiatus announced in April, 2010 that put performances on hold in the U.S. after the band played San Francisco’s Fillmore Auditorium later that year. Now, with the band’s fourth live album, Wiser for the Time, released in March of this year as a digital download and 4-record vinyl set, timing was never better for the… View this story
