John Scrip 12/26/11 12:16 PM,This article is provided by MASSIVE Mastering. I’m going to try to keep this very “fool proof”. This was born out of the rantings of hundreds and hundreds of posts on a dozen or more audio forums exploding like a volcano recorded with lots of headroom. I hope to instill a basic understanding of why certain trends and common beliefs are just plain bad. And by the time you’re done reading, and perhaps doing a little experimentation based on… View this story

PSW Staff 11/09/11 10:33 AM, 1 CommentOutline is proud to announce its new Advanced Technology Audio System Initiative (ATASI) at WFX 2011 (Live Sound Compact Loudspeaker Demo – Hall D, Booth J). ATASI is centered on Outline’s advanced iMode technology, as expressed in the Mini-COM.P.A.S.S. active line array system and iSM floor monitor systems. iMode technology embeds a Linux-based CPU — with integrated DSP chip, parameter control software, Web server and power amplifier — right into the speaker cabinets, thereby streamlining setup and control by eliminating… View this story

Karl Coryat 08/22/11 05:35 PM, 1 CommentThis article is excerpted from Karl Coryat’s Guerrilla Home Recording - 2nd Edition. Even with today’s inexpensive recording systems, it’s possible to achieve a dynamic range of over 90 dB—in other words, the loudest sounds you record can be over 90 decibels louder than the background noise. Managing all of the “area” between these two extremes, for each and every sound you record, is a skill that’s critical to making a good-sounding recording. Fortunately, there are expanders, compressors, and limiters… View this story

Chris Huff 08/22/11 05:24 PM, 1 CommentThis article is provided by Behind The Mixer. One button that still looks pristine. No fingerprints. No worn finish. It doesn’t even have a name. Working in audio, it’s easy finding my way into a foreign sound booth. It could be it’s my station for an event or it might be that I’ve been invited in by the sound tech on duty. Over the years, I’ve noticed one button that’s often not used. It’s the fixed-point high-pass filter button… View this story

PSW Staff 08/12/11 03:28 PM, 1 CommentThe Radial X-Amp is a 500 Series module that lets the user take a pre-recorded guitar track and send it back to amplifiers and effects so that it can tailored to suit. With Reamping, the guitarist need only concentrate on the performance. Working out specific sounds and optimal mic placement can be done later. This eliminates hours of repetition while allowing the producer to adjust the character of the track as the production evolves. Using the X-Amp is ‘plug and… View this story

Chris Huff 07/12/11 11:17 AM, 2 CommentsThis article is provided by Behind The Mixer. A DI unit, DI box, Direct Box or simply DI is an electronic device that connects a high impedance line level signal that has an unbalanced output (a.k.a., a piece of equipment) to a low impedance mic level balanced input, usually via XLR connector. DIs are frequently used to connect an electric guitar, electronic piano, or electric bass to a mixing console’s microphone input. The DI performs level matching, balancing, and… View this story

Dave Rat 06/24/11 05:45 PM, 0 CommentsEver notice that some shows sound really bright, I mean, the “ouch kind-of-crazy painful” type of bright - and what is the engineer thinking?” You’re a month into a tour, getting off a plane en route to another show. Hmm… Wonder if your ears are the same trustworthy, spring-fresh little helpers they were three weeks ago? Or maybe - just maybe - the rigors of travel combined with that head cold, eight beers and four hours of sleep last night… View this story

Bruce Main 06/20/11 12:18 PM,So there I was, system engineer at a county fair gig. The act of the day was a traveling ’60s reviews with three or four artists who were, shall we say, past their prime. They weren’t carrying engineers, so we got the duty. Soundcheck went fine. The artists cruised through their paces and the hired back-up band was surprisingly good. Nothing to do but hit catering and wait for the “white hair, blue hair and no hair” crowd to show… View this story
