Tuesday, May 21, 2013You Make Music You Say? So, You’re In The Fashion Industry
Tom Lubin 05/21/13 07:15 AM,The sound of popular music can be clearly compared to other forms of seasonal commodities such as clothing fashion and hairstyles. Much as bell-bottoms, the hula-hoop, and whitewall tires have become fashion statements associated with certain times past, “the sound” of most records will in later times provide a key identifier in time stamping that music. Like fashion, some of these sounds periodically re-emerge; some become an ongoing fabric of music production, while others are never heard of again. We… View this post

Thursday, May 16, 2013Can Award-Winning Recordings Be Made In A Home Studio?
Bob Buontempo 05/16/13 04:41 PM,To begin with, there are many things that you cannot do in a home studio. A competent recording of a live band - still the mainstay of the recording industry - is usually impossible in your bedroom. Fitting an orchestra in there is also challenging. And even though the topic of this piece is whether award-winning (i.e., Grammy) music can be conceived, recorded and mastered in a home studio, there’s nothing to indicate that any such recordings actually have been.… View this post

Friday, May 10, 2013In The Studio: The “Simple Math” Myth of Sample Rate Conversion
Jon Tidey 05/10/13 02:25 PM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. I recently saw this on a forum. I’ve seen something like this said many times. I won’t say who said it because he’s a good engineer and my intention is not to poke at him. Here goes: “I’ve been sticking with 88.2, to me the simple math (divide by 2) is a little more reassuring then 96 when down-sampling to 44.1.” ***facepalm*** Another guy (elsewhere) said: “If you’re recording music, you… View this post
