MIX TEMPLATES: THE LAST TEMPTATION
As I edit this, the online engineer cognoscenti are prattling on about "Ocean Eyes" by Billie Eilish being available as a Logic Pro template. I thought it might be a good time to have an unwanted, unwelcome "expectations management" session for those who think 10 million SoundCloud plays are just a point and click away.
STATING THE OB(li)VIOUS
People who produce and engineer music are competitive. Yes, we all like to speak in communal platitudes...
Demystifying Acoustics with Jeff Hedback – Part 2
In Part 1, we discussed the misleading paths that every engineer initially faces when the mix doesn’t translate. We also brought in an important ally – Jeff Hedback, owner of HD Acoustics. Part 2 brings in Everything Recording’s new studio space and all of the groundwork you need to lay before even considering what’s going on the walls. With the introductions out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff.

THAT DISNEY GLAMPLE IS HASHED : 11 NEW AUDIO TERMS FOR 2021
"Mojo." "Warmth." "Punchy." "Forward." Few professions trade in the glut of buzzwords, idioms and analogies quite like audio production. These pieces of hazy phraseology serve not only to describe the seemingly indescribable, but force others to nod along knowingly, lest you discover they have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
But this year, EverythingRecording is turning the tables. There's no better buzzword than the one you create yourself and then unleash upon...
Demystifying Acoustics with Jeff Hedback – Part 3
This is Part 3 of a 4-part series. To start from the beginning, visit Part 1.
When we left off in Part 2, we built the space, determined the mix position, and measured the room for proper treatment. We also ended with a bit of a cliffhanger on how we were going to treat the room. We had an initial plan but circled back due to a few factors. In part 3, we look...
2020 NAMM Wrapup
After a whirlwind weekend in Anaheim, CA the ER.com crew are back to report on not only what we saw at this year’s four-day bacchanal, but what we didn’t. (Bryan promised us Magic Mountain if we were good - sadly, we were not. Blame the $2.99 Mango Bahama Blast Margaritas at the Applebee’s across the street from the Comfort Inn)
Of course there was the usual smorgasbord of the newest, hottest, latest, bigger-faster-louderest gizmos...

HERITAGE AUDIO: THE SECRET OF MY SUCCESSOR.

THE HYPE MACHINE: STL TONES CONTROLHUB
It's always a good day here at EverythingRecording when we hear from our friends over at STL Tones. As somebody who records a lot of guitars - not just for clients but my own projects - their ToneHub guitar amp modeling plug-in is the de facto choice. Not just for 'let's use a plug-in'-type situations, either.
In the three or four years since ToneHub dropped, the folks at STL Tones have been steadily producing...
Congrats to Jeff Hedback for the Cover of Mix Magazine
While Jeff has been in nine other issues of Mix Magazine (and every single "Class of" since 2013), one of Jeff's TWO "Class of" designs finally (and deservedly) made the cover. Yes, you heard me right. Jeff has TWO designs in this year's "Class of" features. The article can be found HERE.
We are proud to have an ongoing series with Jeff and want to offer him the sincerest congratulations! Although Jeff has some...
Demystifying Acoustics with Jeff Hedback – Part 1
Before you press the BUY button on whatever newfangled piece of signal chain you think is going to "up your mix game," give Part 1 of this series a read. You may find the source of your woes has nothing to do with the voltage and "1's" and "0's" coming out of your speakers.
Does This Next Part Sound Familiar?
Let me lay out a scenario for you. You've reached the "consciously incompetent" phase of...
