    Church Sound: Turning “More Me” Into Quality
    image
    Gary Zandstra 05/24/13 05:11 PM,
    What is it about sound engineers and musicians getting along? In my experience, getting these two groups in sync is like putting angry cats in a room full of dogs. Sometimes there’s enough tension that it feels as though a fight is going to break out. While commissioning a sound system in another state, my friend Jeff saw the cats and dogs ready to brawl, and also picked up some new lingo that I’d like to share with you here.… View this post

I had been invited by a student at a local recording and audio production school to come in for a free recording session… Upon arriving at the studio… The engineer wasn’t anywhere to be found, nothing was set up, and I sat in a less-than-plush… View this post

  • Renkus-Heinz Powers Sweden’s Tierp Race Track
    image
    PSW Staff 05/24/13 01:02 PM,
    The sound is ear-splitting: the howl of race tuned engines vying with each other to strip paint by SPL alone from the concrete walls of the long U-shaped arena at Tierp, purpose-built on an old military airfield in central Sweden. The brainchild of Lief Andréasson, this derelict patch of perfectly level wasteland has been turned into one of the most modern drag racing arenas in the world - with a host of other purposes planned - 2.51km (1.56 miles) of… View this post

  • Making It Meaningful: Practical Applications Of Loudspeaker Analysis
    analysis
    Ken DeLoria 05/24/13 11:20 AM,
    Over the years many have debated the relative merits of “looking at screen traces” on an analyzer versus using human hearing to determine how a loudspeaker, or an entire system, actually performs. While both practices are of course valid, it’s extremely difficult for the human ear to detect, characterize, and correct small deviations in frequency and phase response, and even harder to characterize driver distortion in a meaningful manner. Likewise, the ear is often stymied when attempting to typify transient… View this post
