PSW Staff 11/04/11 03:08 PM, 0 CommentsMillennia Music & Media Systems have introduced the high-performance NSEQ-4 parametric equalizer. It is designed for the engineer that doesn’t need the versatility of having the company’s NSEQ-2’s Valve and Solid State circuitry in the same unit. “The NSEQ-4 combines the musicality of the NSEQ-2 with a substantial increase in soundstage,” comments engineer Bruce Leek. NSEQ-4 features: • World’s first (and only) all-discrete, true differential Class-A input buffer/amplifier. • Selectable balanced or unbalanced input. • Greatly improved 3rd generation FSA-03… View this story

PSW Staff 10/23/11 05:41 PM, 0 CommentsWaves Audio has unveiled Bass Rider, an easy-to-use plugin that rides bass levels automatically. A companion to Waves’ popular Vocal Rider plugin, Bass Rider does not change the natural sound of bass. Optimized especially for the frequency range and envelope characteristics of bass instruments, Bass Rider covers all the “basses” - DI, amplified, acoustic, synth, upright, etc. Unlike a compressor, Bass Rider works note by note, without disturbing their inner dynamics, so they sustain and decay naturally. Since Bass Rider… View this story

Matthew Weiss 10/19/11 07:57 AM, 0 CommentsThis article is provided by the ProAudioFiles. Parallel compression refers to the technique of running a mult of a signal, compressing that mult, and then blending it in with the uncompressed signal. Some compressors also have a “mix” knob where you can blend the compressed and uncompressed signals. The benefits of parallel compression are many-fold, though there are a few pitfalls. Setting up a parallel compression chain can be daunting. Compression on it’s own can be a bit complex… View this story

During renovation, it was apparent that the hall’s physical acoustics and low roof presented a significant hurdle for classical music presentations that required an extended reverberation time. To support the diverse programming in the auditorium, acoustical consultant BAi LLC of Austin, Texas, recommended a Meyer… View this story

Gary Zandstra 10/11/11 08:14 AM, 2 CommentsI have a new pet peeve: well-intentioned (presumably) sound operators that EQ for gain-before-feedback rather than sound quality. In the last few weeks I’ve had some experiences where audio quality was a real issue, and no one seemed to know how to fix it. In all of these cases, the EQ (both on the channel strip and the master EQ) had been jacked all over the place in an attempt of keep a microphone from feeding back. Some observations: 1)… View this story
