This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Plug-ins are great, they’re very close to the real hardware counterparts, sometimes better. I don’t want to debate that. This article is all about options for getting electrons flowing through gear to get better mixes. There are very few (if any) professional mixing engineers that work 100 percent ITB (in the box), at some point you’ll need to get outside. Latency One of the problems inherent with digital recording is latency.…

That is, unless they have their eyes on the classical art form’s vibrant and living edge. Originally commissioned by the San Francisco Opera in 2000, Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking received numerous awards and has been performed throughout the United States and around the world. In celebration of its ten-year anniversary, EMI records…

Rich Breen’s quick and early ascension to the upper strata of professional recording a quarter-century ago was not owing to a flashy style or a voguish sound, but rather a well-considered, well-rounded approach to sound recording that was, and continues to be, in equal measures scientific and artistic. He holds a degree in electrical engineering and has studied music, a synergism that has contributed to his roster of clients and recordings that include the Yellowjackets, Charlie Haden, Dianne Reeves, Herbie…
