Friday, March 15, 2013Road Test: Audio-Technica System 10 Digital Wireless System
Gary Parks 03/15/13 04:41 PM,Audio-Technica’s first entry into digital wireless was SpectraPulse, a specialized system for secure conferencing applications. Now with the new System 10, A-T has brought digital wireless into a simple format at popular price points. System 10 is not a professional touring wireless microphone system, like the company’s 4000 and 5000 Series, yet it implements some impressive technology in an easy-to-use package. The system sounds good and contains a variety of integral features that solve common wireless performance and coordination problems.… View this post

Tuesday, October 09, 2012Road Test: Lectrosonics Venue Wireless Receiver & HH Transmitter
Tim Weaver 10/09/12 06:24 PM,To me, the true measure of any wireless system is sound quality. Features are nice, but can I tell if what I’m hearing is wired or wireless? Based upon the use of the Lectrosonics Venue wireless microphone receiver and companion transmitters on numerous live gigs over the course of an evaluation process that has lasted about three weeks, I can confidently state that this is a family of products that really pushes the limits of wireless sound quality. The Venue… View this post

Friday, October 05, 2012In The Studio: A Review Of The Apple Thunderbolt To FireWire Adapter
Jon Tidey 10/05/12 03:06 PM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. This week I bought the Apple Thunderbolt to FireWire Adapter from the Apple Store to add an extra Firewire 800 port to my iMac. I’d been planning on getting one since they were announced along with the Retina Macbooks in the summer. At $29, is it just another overpriced white plastic Apple accessory? I wouldn’t say it’s overpriced. At this time it’s the cheapest thunderbolt accessory and the only way to… View this post

Gary Parks 09/06/12 05:10 PM,Along with a “greenie” screwdriver, needle nose pliers, and polarity checker, a new tool from Kaltman Creations is ideal to have in an audio production kit.

John Walden 08/03/12 10:24 AM,This is a review of FiRe 2 - Field Recorder from Audiofile Engineering (developers of Quiztones).

Wednesday, August 01, 2012In The Studio: Review Of The Slate Digital Virtual Console Collection (Includes Audio)
Jon Tidey 08/01/12 12:21 PM,This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine. It seems like every few weeks there is some new piece of audio software that claims to make your music bigger, louder, deeper, and more bad-ass in every way. Every new plug-in is announced as a total game changer. Like that means something… Steven Slate’s Virtual Console Collection (VCC) is one of those so-called game changing plug-ins. There was so much hype about this product that I was completely put off… View this post

Tuesday, July 31, 2012Road Test: Radial Engineering ProD8 Rackmount Passive DI
Craig Leerman 07/31/12 06:24 PM,The Radial Engineering ProD8 is an 8-channel, rack-mountable passive direct box that is optimized for use with keyboards, but it has many other uses at gigs as well. The eight channels can each be used with mono sources, or with stereo sources that it can merge to mono. The unit also offers loop-through routing capabilities, as well as an effects loop on every channel. Like all Radial units I’ve worked with over the years, the ProD8 is very well built.… View this post

Monday, February 28, 2011Acid Test: A Look At iZotope RX 2
Kyle P. Snyder 02/28/11 08:35 AM, 0 CommentsImagine for a moment one of the “must have” tools in your arsenal. I’d bet a large number of you out there jumped to ProTools (perfectly valid), or a favorite piece of outboard gear (I’ve been there). However, one of my “can’t live without it” tools is noise removal and spectral repair, which is why I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to check out iZotope RX 2 when it came out this past fall. However, the reason for… View this post

Friday, November 20, 2009Barry’s Toolkit: First Look At The New Lexicon Native PCM Reverb Plug-In
Barry Rudolph 11/20/09 07:28 AM, 3 CommentsThe Lexicon Native PCM Reverb plug-in offers great, usable factory preset reverb sounds and, at the same time, “deep as you want” intense programmability for modifying or designing your own unique reverberant treatments. Programming is now more precise due to the vast collection of algorithmic specific parameters and the three-dimensional RTA (real-time analyzer) color display that allows the visualization of the reverb’s shape, character and evolution over time. Ported in VST, AU and RTAS Native formats for both MAC and… View this post
