while moving the mic around we’d look for positions with a solid, consistent low end rather than an aggressive, ‘slap-in-your-face’ sound. The loudest spot is not necessarily the best, but a solid sustain for each note in the lowest register is a very...
playing it correctly). This means the “last thing recorded is the loudest” can make it to the final mix since that’s how we heard it in tracking. It seems to me that the electric guitar track may be the recipient of this tendency; it seems a bit out in front of the other ...
PCM is a 'raw' or uncompressed format, meaning that all of the data that is captured is stored and all of it is used to recreate the waveform on playback. In other words, the bit-stream entering the system when recording is, theoretically, identical to the bit-stream reproduced by the ...
But what exactly is it that makes the 1176 so special? And why do you even need compression when working with audio? Why Audio Compression is Important At its most basic, compressors and limiters reduce the span between the softest and loudest parts of an audio signal. When used properly,...
Bit depth on the other hand determines how much information can be stored by each of the samples. It refers to the nuances between the quietest and loudest sound and is measured in bits. A digital audio file with a low bit depth, will be less detailed, and may sound "flat" or "muddy...
the term used to describe a guitar with many overtones in the low-mids (EIR lower strings vs mahogany with strong fundamentals) and that is what became associated with "warm" for guitars to me (rolled back highs and complex overtones). The Gear Page is the leading online community and ...
In the digital domain, volume is measured using the dBFS scale, which stands for “decibels relative to full scale.” Digital audio signals become clipped at 0 dBFS, which is the loudest digital signal that can be represented without distortion. While there is no single standard for converting...
We recommend dynamicmicrophones for your bass drum, snare, and toms since those are the loudest pieces in the drum set. Recording your cymbals will differ since they produce higher frequencies than your drums and have a crisper sound. We recommend using a condenser for the cymbals so that you...
Tina Turner's loudest albums still have melody and something "people will walk away humming" — the very thing Cropper lovedabout Staxrecords. "We were selling groove and all, rather than the music," Cropper says of his work with theMGs."We don't care about the music....
Another well-chosen cover is the old-timey mid-tempo blues, "What Makes You Act Like That," with Andersen taking the guitar leads with really nice acoustic picking just like Lonnie Johnson did on the original. While I much prefer Lemons' vocals throughout the album, Berkowitz does a ...
