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

When the sound wave travels, it compresses air molecules together at one point. This is called the high pressure zone or positive component(+). After the compression, an expansion of molecules occurs. This is the low pressure zone or negative component(-). This process continues along the path of the sound wave until its energy becomes too weak to hear. The… View this story

Dave Dermont 07/26/10 06:34 PM, 2 CommentsThere are advantages to getting older. Years of learning something new at every gig add up to that thing we call experience. You remember how well the first Soundcraft console you ever used responded to your touch. You recall, despite its simple interface and lack of things to tweak, how great the reverb of a Lexicon PCM-60 sounded. Another advantage to getting older is that the gear you lusted after as a youngster becomes affordable. The downside of this can… View this story
