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.

Monday, May 13, 2013How Do You Know What Sounds Good?
Karl Winkler 05/13/13 04:41 PM,Most of us feel that we know good sound when we hear it.

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

Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre Puts On Full Production With Soundcraft & JBL
PSW Staff 05/10/13 12:39 PM,Over the years, London based live production company ARC Sound has produced many corporate functions in the Underglobe, the events space situated beneath London’s famous Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.
