This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. I recently shared some tips for recording great vocals, so it only seems logical to carry on with the process and get them sitting right in the mix. Here are some simple steps you might want to take to ensure that your vocal track is working together with the rest of your mix. Cleanup Before anything, clean up the vocal tracks. Go through and trim the silence around each phrase. Remove…

This article is provided by Church Audio Video. In-ear monitors are finding their way onto the wish list of nearly every church technical director and worship leader these days. But are they the right choice for your ministry? If you can answer “Yes” to any of the following questions, then the answer may well be yes. Does your church suffer from excessive stage noise?

This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Recording vocals can be extremely tricky even under the most perfect of circumstances. However, as we well know, the perfect circumstances aren’t encountered by everyone from day to day. So, here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re tackling that next vocal session.

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. I recently finished up a fun little EP project with an artist who is a phenomenal female singer/songwriter. Early on in the project she told me she wanted everything to have a very acoustic, folky feel - almost bluegrass. To that end, we avoided using drums or any heavy percussion, and we stayed away from “electric” instruments, like electric guitar and bass. While this approach kept the instrumentation fairly simple, it…

This exclusive article is provided by AudioFanzine. Focal is known for their top-range speakers with undeniable qualities but, unfortunately, not for affordability. That’s why the manufacturer decided to launch a more affordable series a couple of years ago. It included two models, the CMS 65 and the CMS 50 equipped with 6.5” and 5” woofers respectively. A subwoofer is also available for brown noise fans. Both models received a warm response from users, so now Focal recently launched an…

Since Jerry Harvey’s career as the “go to” guy for innovative in-ear monitoring solutions first took off in 1995, it’s fair to say his schedule has often demanded that he cover a lot of ground in a very, short time. To do it efficiently, he made the decision to take off himself – literally – returning to one of his first loves, flying, in 2004. “I started flying as a teenager, but I scared myself when I was 17,” he…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. One of the most difficult things to do is maintain energy in a recording session. Often musicians find it difficult to play along to a metronome/click track without sacrificing some musicality. Personally, I love playing to a click track, even live. It just helps “lock” everyone into place musically. I’m certainly not suggesting that you must use a click track on every recording session, but you may be wondering “Should I…
