Making It Meaningful: Practical Applications Of Loudspeaker 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.

In The Studio: Observations On Improving Bass Guitar Recording
Jon Tidey 05/23/13 04:44 PM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. Bass doesn’t always get the attention it deserves in a recording situation.
