Provided by Sweetwater. Q: I’ve been reading ProSoundWeb for a while now, ever since I first started recording some of my band mates, and I’ve really found the PSW Study Hall to be a great help. I just purchased an audio interface and a few mics for my PC, and I’m trying to get my “home studio” set up on an awfully small budget, so I’ve got a question for you. I want to use my home stereo as…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: I’ve been reading a lot of manufacturer specification sheets lately, it being InfoComm season and all, and I have a (perhaps silly) question. Why is +4dB considered to be the professional standard? Is it because it outputs a hotter signal, or does +4 also give you better signal-to-noise ratio and frequency response? A: First of all, thank you for reading the specification sheets. Good for you, and thanks for asking the question! +4dBu, being a…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: My studio monitors tend to want to vibrate off of my metal speaker stands. So, I installed a rubber mouse pad under each one. The other day an engineer was in my studio and suggested this isn’t a good idea because it covers up the hole in the top of my speaker stands that runs down the length of them into the base. Is that correct? A: No, no, no! Where does stuff like this…

This exclusive article is provided by AudioFanzine. In this overview, we’ll take a look at some of the most prolific sequencers available on the iPhone OS. We’ll start with Music Studio by Alexander Gross, a pretty comprehensive MIDI sequencer, especially considering that it runs on a mobile phone. It features 128 MIDI tracks, 4 FX sends (reverb, delay, EQ, amp simulation) and 21 instruments – more than enough to get you started… However, while the instruments will cover most…
