Rob Stam 02/02/11 06:32 PM, 0 CommentsOver the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of being a musical performer and worship leader, as well as a church sound engineer and technician. This has provided unique perspective from both sides of the platform; what I’ve learned on one side has helped me do better on the other side, and vice versa. Through this process, I’ve noted several problems and solutions that apply to the technical side, the creative side, and both. I’ve refined these observations and… View this story

Bruce A. Miller 08/30/10 03:25 PM, 1 CommentThis 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

Mark Frink 04/09/10 04:44 PM, 1 CommentFrom the smallest van tours to the biggest worldwide touring attractions, digital consoles have established themselves for convenience, consistency and ease of workflow. The modern sound system has neatly divided itself into two major products: loudspeakers and consoles. Most analog consoles have the advantage these days of having been paid for, along with sonic quality and a familiar knob-per-function single-page control surface. However, any production manager can tell you the advantages of digital consoles: footprint, size, weight, repeatability, consistency and… View this story

Wayne Wadhams 08/27/09 04:35 PM, 1 CommentThere is no way to say for sure what specific elements, sounds or aspects of a record make it a HIT. Yet every hit has a few key things that grab our attention and make it memorable. Reviewing a long list of hits, we find that many of the same or analogous elements work over and over, in their separate contexts, to create their charisma. Some of these have to do with the song itself, others with the way it… View this story
