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...
OF METAL AND IMMORTALITY. THE TERRY DATE INTERVIEW.
Sure, Quiet Riot may have sang “Bang Your Head”, but Terry Date has made a hundred records that literally MAKE you do it. While some producers have careers, Terry Date has carved out a legacy. As the sonic architect of pivotal albums like Pantera’s “Vulgar Display Of Power”, Deftones’ “White Pony” and Soundgarden’s “Louder Than Love”, his influence is still heard on just about every heavy artist and album out there today.
With Terry...

COMPRESSORS, COMPRESSORS EVERYWHERE
It's weird, we hadn't reviewed a hardware compressor in a while and then, seemingly out of nowhere, a month doesn't go by where I'm not wiring up a new box of chips, bulbs, and wires to fawn over. You'd think I'd be...
NAMM 2022: ELECTRONIC BOOGALOO
We'll be honest here, virtual tradeshows are not our thing. That's why we chose to sit out our annual NAMM wrapup for the past two years of pandemic-based societal collapse. But this year, facemasks and bear spray in hand, we traveled to sunny Anaheim, CA, ready to again report back with the world's biggest gizmo orgasm. Manufacturers big and small from around the globe, hocking their latest wares over the world's loudest trade...
A Fresh Look At The PreSonus Quantum 4848
Behold! The PreSonus Quantum 4848 in all its minimalist glory.
NO FRILLS. ALL THRILLS.
Twenty years ago, the Digidesign (now Avid) MBox was a milestone in the home studio DAW market. Prior to the year 2000, audio interfaces tended to be straight-ahead affairs with nothing more than line level inputs and outputs. But the MBox, with its quirky monolith form factor, bundled ProTools LE software and "designed by Focusrite" preamps gave aspiring producers a complete...

Guest Post: Graham Cochrane
I'm not the best at figuring out what to write for tips and tricks for recording, but today we have an actual credible professional writer in our midst. He's written a book, The #1 Rule of Home Recording, and many videos on the subject of recording. They can be found HERE and he posts regularly on his site, The Recording Revolution. I actually check the site regularly personally for great tricks, especially on...

Piano 4 Producers Masterclass
Some of us have a sound in their head but just can't quite get it out. We spend hours with the DAW pencil, drawing notes for chords so why not actually learn the chords you hear in your head? Piano 4 Producers Masterclass can have you on your feet in no time.
Have you ever felt limited by your musical knowledge and abilities?
Have you ever gotten stuck trying to figure out the music in...
AUSTRIAN AUDIO: THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Sometimes when we review a product from another country, the tendency is to open with a quick quip about it being from the land of fine meats and cheeses, their abundance of elk or whatever else the Wikipedia search turns up. Beyond the iconic countryside scenes of "The Sound Of Music", Austria’s most notable exports have come from Akustische und Kino-Geräte Gesellschaft m.b.H, better known to the world as “AKG”. AKG certainly need...
A Fireside Chat With Howard Benson and Chris Lord-Alge
Sure, we can go on all day about STLTones Tonality. In fact, we just did. But we figured, wouldn’t it be better to talk to the engineering ears and mixing minds behind the sounds? Chris Lord-Alge and Howard Benson took some time to sit down with us and give their take.
Just give us a little background on how Tonality started?
HOWARD: Chris has been in the plug-in business a very long time, and I...
