Likely, the most subjective microphone placement in all of recording is the room mic for a drum set (or perhaps a room mic for any instrument setup for that matter).  As with any recording, the sound concept you have in mind should lead the decision making process.  In other words, what is the intent?
  • If you’re finding yourself with a limited budget resulting in limited gear, you’re certainly not alone.  The good news is technology has come a long way from the days of being limited to any sort of multi-track recording outside a 4-track recorder.  Now, the most cost effective of digital audio workstations, paired with the power of today’s computers, provide us all with nearly unlimited options for recording multiple tracks, multiple takes, and multiple versions.  However, even with these advantages, we still need a decent instrument and decent microphones to lay a strong foundation for a finished record.  Thankfully, almost all live instruments can be recorded with just one or two microphones. 
  • Legendary composer Igor Stravinsky talked at length about a phenomenon known as the “Terror of the Blank Page,” which emphasizes the challenge of beginning any creative process. Similar to an empty sheet of staff paper, a recording is essentially a blank slate—a place to invent something from nothing.
  • Severed heads and disembodied souls are all fine and well, but when night falls, the coolest Halloween house is always the one with the best lighting effects. Lasers, fog, strobes and washes can work separately or together to invoke the spirit world. Here are some recommendations for individual products and packages that will make your Halloween party come alive.
  • Yamaha's MODX synthesizers are built on a legacy of some of the most influential synthesizers and workstations ever created. From the MOTIF XF and MX Series to the flagship MONTAGE series, Yamaha synthesizers have been found on countless stages and used in a wide range of productions. 
  • With surround sound monitoring, Unison technology, Thunderbolt 3 connectivity, elite audio conversion and HEXA core processing, Universal Audio’s new line of Apollo X rack interfaces will bring power, speed and near-zero latency to your studio workflow.
  • The 2019 range of Gibson fretted instruments promises something for every Gibson fan and collector. The assortment represents a “back-to-basics” approach on the part of Gibson, with a sharp focus on core features that matter most to players. Whether it’s electric guitars, acoustic guitars or basses, all categories benefit from Gibson’s streamlined product lines.
  • We visited the Ernie Ball Music Man factory in San Luis Obispo, California to chat with CEO and Chief Designer Sterling Ball about the new features and appointments of the Ernie Ball Music Man StingRay Special and StingRay5 Special Electric Basses.
  • Launched in June, 2018, Fender's Player Series seriously ups the game on affordable, North American-built electric guitars and basses. With newly redesigned pickups, developed specifically for the Player Series, each instrument features a contemporary neck profile and fingerboard radius for easy bending and comfortable playing, whether you choose the maple or pau ferro versions.  With resonant alder bodies and a variety of finishes and pickup configurations in both right- and left-handed models, Player Series guitars and basses carry all the classic vibe and sound you expect from Fender. You'll also find some modern twists and features, with models ranging from the Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazzmaster, and Jaguar electric guitar to a Precision, Jazz or Jaguar bass guitar.
  • Inspired by the famous sound of Moog’s ‘70’s synths, the Grandmother packs tremendous sound into an affordable and portable solution for anyone from beginner to pro.
  • The Walrus Audio Julia chorus/vibrato is a favorite for guitar players who need the ability to switch between chorus and vibrato or blend both together. The Julia can add a bit of depth to your tone with a low chorus setting or be pushed to the limits of that classic warble vibrato offers and everything in between.
  • Fender is making waves with their California Series, adding a fresh line of steel-string acoustic/electric guitars inspired by the beautiful Southern California beaches close to the Fender factory in Corona. The three body-shapes released are the Redondo, an original contoured dreadnought; the Newporter, Fender’s own mid-size concert design; and the Malibu, Fender’s original small-body design with a 24" scale length.
  • The new Fender effects pedals will add brilliant color to both your tone and your pedalboard. Concepted and designed in California, these pedals boast anodized aluminum chassis and offer unique twists on classic effects. Fender used the recognizable LED amp jewel for the “on-light” and used LED backlit knobs, making these pedals stage-ready for the gigging musician. Where these pedals really excel is in huge tone and versatility of control. Check out the videos below to hear these exciting new pedals from Fender.
  • With names like the Strat-Tele Hybrid and the Jaguar Strat, it’s easy to see that Fender took some of the best elements of classic Fender guitar and bass models and brought them together to create gear we could've previously only imagined possible.
  • Featuring two of Arturia’s legendary Brute oscillators, the classic Steiner-Parker filter, an innovative looping envelope, and hands-on control for every parameter, MiniBrute 2 is a monosynth to be reckoned with. The next-generation MiniBrute also features a Keystep-style Sequencer/Arpeggiator to give you maximum creative flexibility, letting you create a practically unlimited variety of sounds.
  • John Good’s latest wood find hails from the outback in the form of a Limited Edition DW kit that is crafted at the California Custom Shop from plied Australian blackwood shells with a stunning black sassafras exotic finish.
