Sometimes, despite the best of intentions, things just go wrong. I know because that’s exactly what happened to me today. I sat down at a workstation that worked perfectly the day before (OK, not perfectly, but you get the point), opened up Pro Tools with my MBox 2 Pro attached, and that’s when the trouble began. To rewind a bit, there’s a light on the front panel of the MB2 Pro. Mine is green because I use the power supply,…

So what happens when most of your “gear” is actually software? What good is that stack of freshly soldered MIDI cables when you’re trying to send timing signals from your digital audio workstation (DAW) to your virtual drum machine? What if you want to route the audio output of your software synthesizer to your sequencer so that you can apply a virtual gate to it? In that case, neither a balanced nor an unbalanced cable will do you much good.…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. Expanders and gates are incredibly useful tools, but only if you use them properly. If you’re a novice when it comes to these gems of processing, perhaps a crash course is in order! As always, the video is embedded below, which I hope you find helpful. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts and comments below! Joe Gilder is a Nashville based engineer, musician, and producer who also provides training and…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. A question I’m frequently asked is how to remove the vocals from tracks for clients. While you can never completely remove the vocals, you can generally knock them down enough to make the track useful for whatever the client has planned. As always, the video is embedded below, which I hope you find helpful. Don’t forget to leave your thoughts and comments below! Joe Gilder is a Nashville based engineer,…

I’d like to say right off the top that this is in no way a new idea. Engineers have been recording shows for this purpose for quite a while. However, the ease and quality that can be obtained now is the big change. My goal is to simply and accurately reproduce the previous night’s show via playback through the same inputs and processing, to emulate at soundcheck in case I don’t actually get one on a show day. There was…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. One of the greatest things about DAW base workflows (aside from plug-ins) is the ability to automate tempo. However, if you’ve never worked with tempo automation before it can be a bit tricky. So, first I’ll show you how to accomplish this in Pro Tools and then I’ll discuss some situations in which you might want to automate tempo. As always, the video is embedded below, which I hope you find…

This article is provided by Home Studio Corner. It should go without saying that one of the coolest things about DAW based recording is the ability to use plugins. However, for engineers just starting out one concept that can be difficult to understand is the need to occasionally use offline processing. Now, many people will know this as printing effects and there are DAW’s which have the ability to “apply audio effects”. However, today I have a video for…
