Building On The Roots Throughout the 20th century, the records of blues, hillbilly and folk artists of earlier times have been available for all to hear, providing a starting point for later performers to build on in their times. While this ethnic and regional music continued to evolve as an oral tradition, it was no longer necessary to follow these… View this story

We can bring down the level of the vocal microphones and most of it goes away, or we can lower the low frequencies on our graphic, but then the PA sounds thin and wimpy. What is causing this rumble and what can we do about it?” A: There are several points to make here. It’s hard to really… View this story

Columbia Records Then the public began to buy phonographs. In general these playback applications required a ready supply of pre-recorded material and in 1890 the D.C. operation began to sell pre-recorded cylinders under the Columbia label (thus the oldest record label in the world came into existence). The survival of this one company was due to its astute pursuit of alternate markets… View this story

Monday, March 21, 2011PSW Staff 03/21/11 09:05 AM, 2 CommentsProvided by Sweetwater. Q: I’ve read many articles about which mics to use on a guitar amplifier, and many indicate that all you need is a Shure SM57 or maybe a step up with the Sennheiser 421. I’ve also read that a better mic placed out in the room adds depth. However, here’s my question. I’m recording a Fender Bassman Reissue which has four speakers. Which one do I put the close mic on, and where exactly do I… View this story

Jeff D. Szymanski 03/17/11 12:34 PM, 0 CommentsIn working with sound and acoustics, here’s something many of us do but may not actually think about enough: Comparisons between measured and predicted reverberation times (RTs). RT (a.k.a., “RT60,” “T60,” “T,” et al) is a widely used quantifier of the acoustical behavior of a room. Sound decays in a room. (Albeit, less quickly in some rooms than in others, as we’re all painfully aware.) RT is defined as how long it takes sound in a room to decay by… View this story

Tuesday, March 15, 2011Tom Lubin 03/15/11 01:59 PM,This article is the first in a multipart series. Additional articles in the series are available here. For the purposes of introduction, the gramophone and the phonograph have been considered a single invention since the former evolved out of the latter to eventually replace it. Both were inscribing, groove based systems. The gramophone/ phonograph was the keystone innovation on which the record industry was invented. A good place to begin an exploration of the technological development of the record… View this story
