    In The Studio: Top Ways To Help Musicians Hear Themselves
    image
    Bruce A. Miller 05/09/12 04:41 PM,
    This article is provided by BAMaudioschool.com.   I’m often heard saying that the recording engineer’s job is to create an environment conducive to musical creativity and then capture that creativity. Headphones are usually the only way that a musician will be able to hear themselves and (more importantly) how what they are playing works with the rest of the band. Every musician will (eventually) ask to hear themselves much louder than everyone else. This makes sense as it will allow… View this post

  • In The Studio: Three EQ “Fake-Outs”
    image
    Joe Gilder 05/08/12 03:14 PM,
    This article is provided by Home Studio Corner.   We tend to think of EQ as “makeup” for our tracks. We use it to make things purdy. But EQ can be a pretty handy tool for faking out your listener. And sometimes those fake-outs can be kinda cool. Here are a few: 1. Fake Depth Sometimes tracks are recorded so cleanly that they sound too “up front” no matter how much you turn them down. It’d be nice if you… View this post

  • In The Studio: Six Tips For Balancing The Bass And Drum Mix
    recording
    Bobby Owsinski 05/07/12 10:47 AM,
    This article is provided by Bobby Owsinski.   Perhaps the most difficult task of a mixing engineer is balancing the bass and drums (especially the bass and kick). Nothing can make or break a mix faster than the way these instruments work together. It’s not uncommon for a mixer to spend hours on this balance (both level and frequency) because if the relationship isn’t correct, then the song will just never sound big and punchy. So how do you get… View this post

  • In The Studio: DIY Subkick Microphone
    recording
    Jon Tidey 05/04/12 11:46 AM,
    This article is provided by Audio Geek Zine.   This is an old but very effective trick for mic’ing kick drums. Take a Yamaha NS10 speaker cone and use that to capture the extra low frequencies of the drum. Without going into too much theory about this, a dynamic microphone and a speaker are essentially the same thing: they’re both transducers. They take acoustical energy and convert it into electrical energy or vice versa. So what you do is take… View this post
