Wang Chung Still Having Fun & Making Records With Lexicon PCM Total Bundle
PSW Staff
06/03/13 03:32 PM,
If you were around during the 1980s, the song “Everybody Have Fun Tonight” by Wang Chung is burned into your brain, one of pop’s great feel-good anthems. Save for a hiatus in the 1990s the band has continued to tour the world and recently released Tazer Up!, an album of all-new material recorded with Lexicon PCM Total Bundle as an integral part of the album’s sound. Wang Chung’s involvement with Lexicon goes back to the early ‘80s when the group…

In The Studio: Best Practices For Backing Up Your Data
Rob Schlette
06/03/13 10:39 AM,
This article is provided by the Pro Audio Files. What Is A Backup? A backup is a working safety copy of your production data. The goal of a systematic approach to backups is to keep data loss from stopping or significantly delaying your work. If properly implemented, a backup system will contain current production data for all in-progress projects as of the conclusion of the most recent session. As many readers know very well, the importance of data backup…

In The Studio: Observations On Improving Bass Guitar Recording
Jon Tidey
06/02/13 04:44 PM,
This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Bass doesn’t always get the attention it deserves in a recording situation. I see a lot of recordists rush through bass recording, only to later be frustrated with the bass when it comes time for mixing. It’s really too bad because it’s the foundation of the song. A great bass will groove tight with the drums and support the guitars. Fitting it in the mix will take minimal effort and you…

In The Studio: Checking Out The Slate Digital Virtual Console Collection
Jon Tidey
05/31/13 01:53 PM,
This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. It seems like every few weeks there some new piece of audio software that claims to make your music bigger, louder, deeper, and more badass in every way. Every new plug-in is announced as a “total game changer.” Like that means something. When it was released a while back, Steven Slate’s Virtual Console Collection (VCC) was one of those so-called game changing plug-ins. There was SO MUCH HYPE about this product…

In The Studio: Introducing The Effective 20-Minute Recording Mix
Joe Gilder
05/30/13 12:48 PM,
These videos are provided by Home Studio Corner. In this video, Joe shows us a new technique he developed to meet the need of getting a client a commensurate mix of a new track as quickly as possible. In essense, he set up a loop of the track, which played continuously through several rotations. On each loop/rotation, Joe did additional mixing that he thought was necessary, and then moved along. He notes that, perhaps a bit surprisingly, this approach…

Jay Ruston Updates His Rig With Metric Halo Production Bundle
PSW Staff
05/28/13 01:58 PM,
Apart from being a seriously nice guy, veteran engineer and producer Jay Ruston is a monster talent behind a mixing console, be it physical or virtual. He’s been at it for twenty years and recently leveraged his seasoned perspective and sonic-smashing tricks to mix Anthrax’s return-to-form masterpiece Worship Music and Steel Panther’s much-lauded mocurockery Balls Out. Ruston took to Metric Halo’s ChannelStrip plug-in for those efforts, citing its musical sound and useful presets as part of what made those works…

In The Studio: My Top 10 List Of Compressors
Bobby Owsinski
05/28/13 09:20 AM,
This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. I was recently intrigued by a really good article on Beatport’s Attack blog called “Top 20 Best Compressors Of All Time.” Since the blog is primarily dedicated to electronic music, you can probably dismiss some of its seemingly dubious entries to the way they’re used creating that type of music. The article did get me thinking about the top 10 compressors that I like though, so I thought I’d do my own…
