Not just his friend...with the unattached boom arm it was a major prop!

Using a Y connector to combine two mics into a single input is a bad idea. Without dwelling too much on Ohm's law, the two mics "load" each other and mess up the impedance causing a skewed frequency response. If you're handy with soldering, you can fairly easily create a combiner circuit to...

Sorry, I probably shouldn't have used the word "average" since that can have a specific technical meaning. Perhaps I should have said "general level" or something similar. What I meant was take a rough guess "by eye" and then tweak the effect you get "by ear". Here are a couple of screen...

....then cook your own using common kitchen ingredients. The recipe is available HERE. There's even a sample recording of the results!

In another thread, there's a discussion about the importance of listening to your mixes as opposed to using visual clues about frequency etc. That reminded me of THIS PROGRAMME which I've used in the past to help with training young people. (I used to be a trustee/advisor for a charity that...

Somebody sent me this picture...it mainly relates to live sound mixing but a similar frequency spread applies when you EQ your tracks: I pass it on in case it helps anyone! Bob

Durin, one of the software developers for Adobe Audition, wrote an excellent primer on Drivers, Latency and Dropouts over at the Adobe user to user forums HERE. (I'm not sure if you can read posts without signing in but you have nothing lot lose by signing up--it's free and you can opt out of...

For those interested in technical training in the art of studio recording, here's something for you to consider: The Institute of Delusional Audio. On a serious note, there all all too many places out there offering questionable training for a lot of money. (And, from now on, the cupboards...

I thought some of the more technical members of the forum might enjoy this... Since I retired and lost access to the test gear I used to "borrow", I've missed being able to do proper analysis of the gear I have at home. However, a friend still working just sent me a link to THIS. I've been...

I've been a user of Adobe Audition since the "Cool Edit 96" days have have always been a fan. I'm used to the software (like you get used to a well-fitting glove) and it does everything I need. However, the next "upgrade" about to be released is anything but. Adobe have decided to totally...

...except the official name is Audition CS5.5. Details HERE. The trouble is, Audition CS5.5 seems to be being marketed purely as an audio post production tool, not as audio editing or production software. We'll have to see if the new thrust still gives us the very useful tool that we've all...

Is anyone out there using the M Audio ProFire Lightbridge and, if so, any thoughts pro/con about it? As a bonus question, if anyone is using it with Adobe Audition successfully, that would be very useful information. FYI, I'm just in the process of putting together an new audio workstation and...

My son, who is the Theatre Technician at a local High School with a specialist theatre technical course, has been asked by his school to research and purchase a 7-way CD/DVD duplicator. This is something neither he nor I have had to research before so we'd appreciate some advice. Three models...
