    This article is provided by Behind The Mixer.   A recent post on feedback prevention prompted a good question from Ryan, a reader.  He said: “…there was one phrase that jumped out at me. Specifically, ‘Regarding floor monitors, vocalists should be very close to their floor monitor.’  I wanted to ask what the reasoning is behind this? I would think the further away the singer is, the more the sound is diffused; ergo, feedback is reduced.” One of the hard… View this story

    As guitarist Jeff Baxter once said to me during the “heat” of a Rod Stewart recording session: “We can do anything—the impossible just takes a little longer.” Along with talented musicians like Jeff, engineers, producers, and live mixers often are called upon to solve problems that are at first glance, flat impossible. To a technically challenged client, all the flashy and complicated gear, computers and the alacrity at which a pro uses them to produce nearly instant, seemingly magical results… View this story

    Coordination. TV broadcasts are the dominant feature of the local RF spectrum. Online resources like the Sennheiser Frequency Finder, which uses a ZIP code, and the FCC’s database to provide a list of local TV broadcast stations and their signal strength, helps users tune wireless systems to interference-free frequencies, removing much of the guesswork. Antenna. Most wireless in-ear monitoring transmitters come with a simple quarter-wave whip antenna, which is fine for single systems at close distances. Multiple systems benefit from… View this story

    This article is provided by BAMaudioschool.com.   I’m often heard saying that the recording engineer’s job is to create an environment conducive to musical creativity and then capture that creativity. Headphones are usually the only way that a musician will be able to hear themselves and (more importantly) how what they are playing works with the rest of the band. Every musician will (eventually) ask to hear themselves much louder than everyone else. This makes sense as it will allow… View this story
