LIKE… REALLY, REALLY BIG: ARTURIA V COLLECTION 8
In Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", the titular guidebook explains the endless expanse of outer space as follows: "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is." For the DAW-based keyboard and synthesizer enthusiast, Arturia's V Collection, now in it's 8th edition, represents a collection of instruments that seeks to answer just how endless a concept like "endless" is.
V Collection 8 is, put another way, a...
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...
Five 500 Series Modules For Under $500
CHAMPAGNE TASTE AT A SPARKLING WINE PRICE.
What is it about the 500 series format that makes it so popular? I guess for some, it's building modular setups that cater exactly to what they want to record. For others, it's being able to easily switch out modules for different applications. But underneath it all, being able to have "a bit of this and a bit of that" all in one rack is pretty damn...
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...
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...

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...
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...
Spotlight: LLANE-A
Every once in a while, you have a conversation with someone that you feel others need to hear. The other day, I was going back and forth with a good friend of Everything Recording, LLANE-A, and found his back story so compelling, we had to share it. The resulting article shows that sometimes, producers, engineers, and artists genuinely don't realize how much harder creating music is in other areas.
Who is LLANE-A
LLANE-A (pronounced Lane-A)...
