PSW Staff 10/26/10 10:15 AM, 0 CommentsProvided by Sweetwater. This Tech Tip Of The Day come to you in editorial form because we wanted to tackle one of the more difficult recording issues faced by engineers, whether a seasoned pro or a project studio newbie, recording vocals. This job requires musical knowledge, technical expertise, possession of (or at least an awareness of) microphones, preamps and mixers, and a solid grounding in the psychology of performance. However, we’re going to leave most of the equipment-related information… View this story

Simply add up which questions you answered “yes” to and see where you fall. Pre-Service… View this story

Dave Dermont 07/26/10 06:34 PM, 2 CommentsThere 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… View this story

Wednesday, July 14, 2010PSW Staff 07/14/10 10:15 AM, 1 CommentProvided by Sweetwater. Q: How can I use compression on my final stereo mix that will affect the vocals and not the drums? A: Compression on your final mix is an art that many mastering engineers have been able to hang their hat on. In other words, it’s not the easiest thing to master (pun intended). There’s really no way to do anything to the stereo mix without it having some effect on all the elements. With that said,… View this story

Keith Clark 04/13/09 04:49 PM, 0 CommentsI don’t much like the increasingly salacious nature of media, and try to take a different path here on PSW, but I’d be remiss in not reporting that legendary music producer Phil Spector has just been found guilty of second-degree murder. Spector was charged with murdering actress Lana Clarkson at his Los Angeles-area mansion in 2003. He was originally tried in 2007, but the jury could not come to a unanimous verdict, which resulted in a mistrial and subsequent retrial.… View this story

James Cadwallader 03/20/09 01:21 PM,A few years ago, I was given tickets to a concert at the local arena. It was a co-headlining show where one act played, then the other, ending with both acts playing together. Being the supreme el cheapo, I eagerly accepted the tickets and acted like Romeo when informing my wife that I was taking her out. We arrived early and naturally I took stock of the audio setup. Each act had its own reinforcement system complete with separate FOH,… View this story

With most of his mix years spent at front of house, Malek began using a Yamaha PM5D when it first became available for a Good Charlotte show in New York’s MTV Studio. “There is always something new to learn on the PM5D, and when I find a new function or technique, I… View this story
