Never Mind About Behind Blue Eyes What About the Recording Studio?

admin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:24:35 +0000

Okay folks listen up today I have an interesting question for you.

Can anyone tell me and then argue logically possibly the top five greatest historical and technological innovations within the music industry?

Surely there would be the usual suspects, the Beatles, Elvis Rolling Stones Motown possibly, Brit Pop even and who could forget the great rock ‘n roll swindle of the 70s that was the Sex Pistols but what about delving slightly behind the scenes?

How about thinking slightly differently as I say and stopping to think about some of the technological innovations that made the recording of the music possible?

OK over the years music and rubber have possibly not been the most glamorous of bedfellows and can at times of conjure up quite a lot of dubious images but let’s be serious for a few minutes.

At this point most people will probably be laughing or sniggering at the back and thinking what on earth is he going on about but if you let me develop idea further you will see there is some credibility to it and more than meets the eye.

OK the basic logic behind this premise is as follows. It doesn’t matter who you are, what you’ve recorded and what magnum opus have just recorded it’s not going to amount too much if people aren’t able to listen to it properly.

OK, joking aside, this argument has a lot more logic and substance to it than you would normally think Yes in the entire pantheon of “musical rock ‘n roll fame etc then acoustic foam doesn’t possibly initially rank up there with other such developments such as Marshall amplification, SSL recording desks etc but there is not a recording studio anywhere in the world that does not have acoustic foam jammed into every nook, cranny and crevice

So, once again, lets hear it for Acoustic Foam!

The bottom line here is that it doesn’t matter how good your music is, how talented the band or singers are, if you can’t get your music out to the people then you might as well not be there.

As I said, at this point, enter stage left, Acoustic Foam.

Most recording studios in the world are located within some forms of urban location. OK I know there are the exceptions that prove the rule etc like Compass Point, Nassau, George Martin’s former place at Montserrat before the Volcano kindly caused them to move (proof if ever there was needed that foam rubber can’t solve everything) and Virgins Manor Studios but by and large most studios are located in the mist of urban sprawls.

Take London for instance, you have Air Studios in Oxford Street, You used to have (if it is still there) Virgins Townhouse studios in Goldhawk Road and of course EMI’s grand old lady of them all, Abbey Road Studios in…..Abbey Road.

Now, how long do you think these places would have lasted if they had succeeded in permanently annoying the neighbours? About five minutes I reckon knowing some of the neighbours that these places have and so noise reduction is right up there with a decent recording deck.

So folks, if you have finished laughing. I reckon that Acoustic Foam that makes the largest part of internal noise reduction systems is pretty vital?

I rest my case.

Thank you and good night

Home Entertainment on a Budget

admin — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 21:13:42 +0000

Home entertainment system means the things which are a complete entertainment package in any home today. Buying of home entertainment today has become a regular job and today most of the families can afford a home entertainment system.

In this world where people do not have time to relax by going out for a movie or just for the purpose of relaxing, the home entertainment system provides a wide range of relaxation for these people. Home entertainment includes a home theatre which is no less than a theatre screen. DVD players are also included in this home entertainment system. Plasma television has a great demand today. Home entertainment is now in the grip of most of the families as the price of this has come down a lot in the recent years. People today can enjoy the surround sound, digital picture quality just like the theatres sitting at home by paying only once while buying the home entertainment. But the home entertainment model has to be chosen very carefully so that the person buying it does not get cheated. Before purchasing a Home entertainment system one must decide which brand to buy, which brand is good. One should always consult a person who has knowledge about the Home entertainment system before buying one; this will help in choosing the right system and making the correct decision that too in budget.

To choose the model one must follow certain things. The Home theatre should be one which can be adapted to new technologies. This includes audio as well as video mediums. The stereo system is a nice choice. The speaker system allows having the sound in any part of the house. The power should also be checked before buying the thing. A Home entertainment must be chosen in such a way that it matches the person’s entertainment preferences. The Home entertainment system should be able to handle the old methods like tapes.

The most important thing which must be kept in mind before buying a Home entertainment package is that one must purchase the best he can afford; it is useless to buy a system which costs less and is of inferior quality, it is simply wastage of money. It is better to buy an expandable system and then the features can be added continuously and it can be updated with time. This will also serve the budget purpose. People with limited budget can try this method as it will be of great advantage. Cheap Home entertainment systems if purchased will incur loss. One part after the other will stop functioning and will require frequent service. Servicing will demand more money and it will cost even more than the price with which the whole system was purchased.

There are many such Home entertainment systems which come in low costs. Cinema-in-a-box is system which is available with DVD player and surrounds sound at an affordable cost. The cost of Plasma and LCD TV has gone down dramatically in recent years. Big systems should be avoided in small rooms. CRT TV’s are the most mature technology in television today but are often bulky although they are far cheap than other kind.

Working Out What You Need for Your Home Recording Studio

admin — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 17:48:24 +0000

An important consideration when looking to set up a ‘home recording studio’ is how you will use it. You will need to work out how many things you want to record or plug in at any one time or you might wind up with uneccessary gear-or not enough!

Let’s look at a typical example of ‘Vinnie’ the guitarist who has a desire to show his ‘band’ how the songs should be played.

No matter how many times he’s tried to explain, they never quite get it right, so the only way he can see to achieve this is to record it all ‘properly’ himself.

What does Vinnie need?

He needs to record a basic drum pattern – nothing fancy – he wants to record two electric guitars, an acoustic guitar, he wants to record a bass guitar and record a main vocal and two backing harmonies.

Vinnie of course will not do all this at once, so even though he needs to record 9 things does he need 9 channels?

No.

All he really ‘needs’ is a maximum of 4 inputs- two with pre-amps. He will also need a microphone to sing into and to record his acoustic guitar, we will asume he has a guitar amp simulator to record the electric guitars and bass and that he has a physical drum machine or one inside his computer or stand alone hard disc recorder.

Vinnie could easily walk down to his music store or get online and find what he needs to get the job done. He could look at a computer recording package with appropriate software and specialised sound card for audio recording. Some companies provide these all in one packages Lexicon, M-Audio, Pro-Tools and Presonus are good brand names to look at as a starting point, but be aware that recording onto a computer can be a frustrating experience if you’re not computer savy.

Vinnie’s other alternative is the stand alone hard disc recorder with a built in mixer section. Any of the offereings from Fostex, Yamaha or Boss/Roland would take care of his needs, at this point Vinnie just wants to get his ideas onto the physical plain as quickly as possible so others can hear them- so he’ll probably need a CD burner thrown in to the equation unless his machine can link up to a computer-as a number of them now can do.

Now let’s look at another example of Barabra who plays in a four piece folk/rock group. They want to record a couple of songs for CD release. All the instruments her band uses are acoustic; Double Bass, Violin ,Guitar and Banjo.

Three of the group also sing. Now Barabara is lucky enough to have a large secluded garage space available for her group to rehearse in and given they don’t annoy the neighbours by making too much noise she wishes to record the band as a ‘whole’ for the best vibe-what will she need?

4 X Instrument Microphones or D.I. [direct injection] boxes

3 X Vocal microphones

8 inputs with Microphone Preamps

Capacity to record on 8 channels at once.

There are some limitations with stand alone recorders, some of them will only let you record on 2 channels at once, another thing to be aware of is the ‘quality’ of the recordings.

Some years ago during the ‘compression algorythm’ wars, clever boffins discovered that our ears can ‘fill in’ missing information, in the same way that you can look at the scrambled letters of a word but are still able to decipher what it is.The boffins kept removing bits of what our ear was hearing until they came up with a formula [algorythm] that fooled our ears most of the time. These are known as ‘compressed’ formats as they ’squish’ the sound in such a clever way that we don’t notice.

Almost all commercial and home recording computer software will record ‘linear’[non-compressed] files to your computer hard disc. Pro-tools,Logic Audio, Cubase, Sonar all do this. Later on when you ‘mix-down’ your songs you can turn them into mp3 files for podcast or to load to your portable digital music player. Adobe Audition and Steinberg’s Wavelab are two programs I can think of that record direct mp3 files- but they are not ‘full function’ multitrack programs.

When we deal in compressed formats- mp2 mp3 etc, ‘unneccessary’ information is removed making the file sizes smaller [and hence downloads faster]- so these are ‘compressing’ the files. The advantage for the home recordist is that less hard disc space is needed.

A consideration when looking at stand alone recorders is to ask the question- do I want compressed or uncompressed audio. If you have any intention of turning these recordings into something for release then the uncompressed format is the best- you will lose some quality by using a compressed format, but your ideas will be captured quickly for you to work on later. Also bear in mind that a number of hard disc recorders can later transfer data to a computer software system for more elaborate processing so if you use a non-compressed recording format you will retain the quality of your recording.

Now when Barabara popped down the music store to express her needs she told the sales person that, “she wants a high quality recording of her group but I have no idea about computers” so the salesman suggests a stand alone unit with eight inputs that records the data in a non-compressed format. As she doesn’t have a huge budget she chooses to hire in most of the microphones for this recording session. The man at the shop suggests she uses condensor microphones for the instruments and dynamic Shure sm58’s for the vocals.

A crucial quality consideration at this point is the ‘pre-amp’. What does that do and why is it so important you ask?

After your microphone has done the incredible job of sorting out sound pressure waves and converting them into electrical signals, they arrive via microphone cables at the ‘pre-amp’-a short way of saying pre-amplifier. For years I struggled to really ‘get’ what a pre amp did, unitl I understood this:

When the microphone puts out a signal it is very very very very tiny. I now call this ‘mouse level’. Once it’s gone through a pre amp it becomes ‘elephant level’, something that our mixing consoles and digital recorders can use easily.

Hear this:

Depending on the quality of the compoments used, this amplification process can make or break the quality of the recorded sound. A bad pre-amp will add hiss and noise to your recording

Most stand alone recorders and computer sound card interfaces have ‘adequate’ microphone preamps. To make your recordings ’shine’ I would suggest getting an ‘outboard’[separate component] pre-amp, though having said that the pre-amps in high end Yamaha consoles are gaining a very good reputation. Focusrite/Joe Meek/Avalon/Tc Electronics are great brands. Currently I use a Focusrite Twin-Trak pro, a device specifially for home recording enthusiasts.

To sum up, our friend Vinnie will probably be quite happy with an off the shelf hard disc recorder with 4 or so inputs that records ‘compressed’ files because he is only trying to show his band colleagues a ‘rough’ idea of how he hears things.

Barbara who is not computer savy is looking for a more polished end product and wants to record her group in the best quality for a CD the band will release, hence she needs to record ‘linear’ [non-compressed] data and will look for a unit with the best quality pre-amps she can buy.
