PSW Staff 01/23/12 01:45 PM,Up to 10 musicians can simultaneously control their StudioLive monitor mixes using an iPhone or iPod touch and Presonus’ free QMix app. QMix builds on PreSonus’ original Virtual StudioLive (VSL), which provides bidirectional computer control of PreSonus StudioLive-series mixers via FireWire. Next came StudioLive Remote for iPad, which provides wireless control of StudioLive mixers. “SL Remote is very useful for the front-of-house engineer but it’s overkill for onstage performers, and the cost of iPads can add up. That’s why we… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 12/26/11 02:48 PM,This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. If you’re doing a session in Los Angeles and you want your drums to instantly sound great, then your first call is to the Drum Doctors to either rent a fantastic sounding kit, or have your kit tuned. Ross Garfield is the “Drum Doctor” and you’ve heard his drum sounds on platinum recordings from Bruce Springsteen, Rod Stewart, Metallica, Dwight Yokum, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitiz, Michael Jackson and… View this story

Mike Sessler 05/13/11 10:56 AM, 0 CommentsMost of the time, we’re dealing with non-professional musicians, limited equipment, and tight deadlines. While difficult, it’s not impossible to produce good monitor mixes and a good house mix. In most smaller churches, monitors are mixed from the front of house mixing position. Typically, smaller churches have 16- to 48-channel consoles that have 6 aux sends. On these consoles, aux channels 1 through 4 are pre-fader (or can be set that way with a switch), meaning the main house fader… View this story

PSW Staff 05/09/11 11:54 AM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. When it comes to problems people run into when building studios, few issues top floors and ceilings. What most musicians and engineers don’t understand, for example, is why low ceilings are usually bad for sound. Or, an equally common question, is it better to cover the studio floor with a rug or leave it hard? So, hopefully we can offer an explanation to these and a few other issues in this excerpt… View this story

Kent Margraves 04/28/11 11:00 AM, 0 CommentsProvided by Sennheiser. Today, our discussion focuses on the processing and optimization of miked sources on the worship stage, using the equalization available in the PA console channel strips or outboard equalization inserted into these channels. It does not discuss overall system processing or “tuning” and assumes appropriate system installation and optimization. So, have you ever experienced a case of microphones squealing feedback before they are loud enough in your PA mix? Even with great mics and a wise… View this story

Bobby Owsinski 04/04/11 01:40 PM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. Before you can look at some accepted ways to improve your isolation, it’s important to look at all the things that won’t work. In this excerpt from The Studio Builder’s Handbook (written with Dennis Moody) is a list of various materials that you’ll often see attached to the walls of a space in hopes of increasing the isolation. However, they really won’t help much at all. • Mattresses: There are so many… View this story

Andrew Catron 03/31/11 02:27 PM, 0 CommentsProvided by Sennheiser. The difference between mono and stereo in the use of a wireless monitoring system is very profound. If you think about it, we experience life in stereo. We even describe sound reproduced by systems with multiple channels of stereo as “rich” because it comes even closer to how we naturally experience sound. In the case of a wireless personal monitor system, utilizing stereo gives a sense of space. In fact, playing really gets fun and expressive when… View this story

I’m always surprised when I hear that someone just bought a pair of studio monitors just on someone’s recommendation or because they read that some engineer uses them. I’m even more surprised when I hear about how haphazardly the listening tests were when they do get a chance to audition them. Here’s an excerpt from The Studio Builder’s Handbook that provides some useful tips for choosing some monitors that you’ll love listening… View this story

However, there are some things to take care of before throwing up the studs. Here is an excerpt from my newly released book, The Studio Builder’s Handbook, on permits for your studio. Permits Before you begin construction, check to see if you need any permits for the job. A construction or building permit is required in most… View this story
