Wednesday, May 08, 2013In The Studio: The Artistic Elements of Recording Production
Dr. William Moylan 05/08/13 03:57 PM,The audio recording process has provided the creative artist with a very precise control over the perceived parameters of sound (through a direct control of the physical dimensions of sound). This control of sound is well beyond that which was available to composers and performers before the advances of recording technology.

Tuesday, May 07, 2013A Great Mix? Sometimes It Depends On Who You Ask…
Dave Rat 05/07/13 05:31 PM,Mixing sound in the live realm is not rocket science. In fact, it’s probably closer to voodoo. A studio engineer creates a masterpiece that will (hopefully) live forever in permanent hard copy existence. But the very nature of a live mixing dictates that every show will be unique - and that none will be perfect. A front of house engineer is in the business of creating a memory. Impact, excitement and anticipation form the landscape of the journey you’re guiding… View this post

Pat Brown 05/07/13 05:16 PM,It’s nearly impossible to mount a loudspeaker in a room without placing it near a room boundary. Some logical questions arise: 1. Does this affect the response? 2. Is the effect good or bad? 3. Can I use the boundary to my advantage? 4. Will treatment help? And, can room boundaries be a “tool of the trade”? Space-Loading Space-loading loudspeakers means that the otherwise spherical radiation is limited by a boundary or boundaries. Some common scenarios are shown in Figure… View this post

In The Studio: The Two Principles Of Acoustic Isolation
Bobby Owsinski 05/07/13 03:17 PM,This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski. Whenever I do clinics at universities I always get a number of questions about home studio construction, since most every musician wants and needs one. One of the most frequent questions is about ways to increase isolation so the neighbors won’t hear what you’re doing. Here’s an excerpt from The Studio Builder’s Handbook that explains the two principles involved in acoustic isolation. “When building almost any kind of space (especially a home… View this post

Church Sound: Understanding Line, Microphone & Loudspeaker Signal Levels
Mike Sessler 05/07/13 01:35 PM,This article is provided by ChurchTechArts. The topic for this article came out of a very real conversation I had with my new audio volunteers. We got to talking about various signal levels that we deal with in the world of audio, and it became very clear that they had not yet been exposed to any of this nomenclature. I figured it’s entirely possible that some of you are unclear on what all these terms may mean as well.… View this post

Church Sound: Take Your Ministry Seriously—Know Thy Stuff!
Curt Taipale 05/02/13 10:42 AM,Through my trips with a traveling music ministry, I’ve worked in many different churches across the country. That has given me the opportunity to work closely with many music pastors, church sound staff members and volunteers, and I have one pet peeve about those individuals—they are often exceedingly ignorant of the equipment they work with every week.
