Simone Giuliani is a film and TV composer, music producer, orchestrator and keyboard player born in Florence, Italy, based in Manhattan and inspired by music from all over the world. “I have been interested in Lexicon products going back to 1992 when I was recording and producing an album in Florence with Funkareem, my band at the time,” said Giuliani. “At that time, I first heard the Lexicon 480L digital effects system and fell in love with it.” “My good…

As Larry Crane, editor of Tape Op magazine, noted, “Plate Reverb. Many people ask me about this and I usually tell them to listen to some records from the ‘70s and ‘80s and look for reverb with a thick, pillowy sound that doesn’t obscure the vocal yet doesn’t quite sound like an actual room.” In 1983, I was the owner of a 16-track studio. One of the things that really separated the sounds of the recordings we could get from…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: Recently I’ve been finding that when I’m recording and mixing, a lot of time is being wasted. However, darned if I know where it’s going! Lately I’ve really been trying to focus in sessions and not get off task, but, I still feel like the little things are taking up time when they shouldn’t. Do you have any advice? A: There’s no doubt that your workflow within the studio can be critical. Unfortunately, getting just…

There are advantages to getting older. Years of learning something new at every gig add up to that thing we call experience. You remember how well the first Soundcraft console you ever used responded to your touch. You recall, despite its simple interface and lack of things to tweak, how great the reverb of a Lexicon PCM-60 sounded. Another advantage to getting older is that the gear you lusted after as a youngster becomes affordable. The downside of this can…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: I’m somewhat new to recording and I’ve been working with a new reverb trying to get a specific sounding reverb that tail off of vocals. When I use a lot of reverb it tends to get kind of muddy and cluttered sounding, and I’d like it to have a “breathy” sound. Is there anything I can do?” A: Without knowing exactly what unit you’re using we’ll have to speak in generalities. However, there are several…

Grammy and Emmy Award winning producer Andy Zulla deployed the Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Bundle recently for the freshman album of pop singer Jenna Andrews. With influences stemming from Hip Hop, R&B and Pop, Andrews had visions of an album with a sound combining a blend of retro-sounding, wet mixes and a contemporary, dry and tight mix. Zulla sought a reverb that sounded full and dense, while also having a transparent, non-existent feeling. “The problem was once we went for…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: I recently started working with a band, and we’ve been playing some really bad venues. The other night, I tried adding some reverb to the main mix because everything just sounded too dry, but it made everything worse. I’m just frustrated because I was positive that reverb was the answer. Any thoughts? A: After equalization and compression, one of the most frequent effects live sound engineers just like you rely on is reverb. In order…
