Enslave the digital dwarfs!Lubricate your livingroom and compress your head!

So this is a blog in the continuing series covering recording techniques, gear, attitude, strange events in the studio etc. The last blog was a run down of a track explaining how it was recorded. Tonight I think I will continue on talking about different pieces of electronics in the studio and how they are used to create pro sounding tracks.

Since I have covered microphones extensively I will tackle the next step in the chain, the microphone preamplifier, commonly called the mic pre. The Mic Pre is an extremely important piece of the puzzle.

Studio rundown of a track………

I am going to post a track that I produced and then run down what went into it and how we recorded it in the studio. The track is a song by Super 400. They are a Troy NY band. I signed them to Island Records and Managed them for about a year. I produced their first record. Unfortunately for them their record came out a week before Edgar Bronfmann bought Island Records. The first thing he did was drop 1/3 of the roster. Since the record was a month old when this decision was made they got the axe. So they returned to obscurity and left behind a fine major label record that no one has ever heard

Microphones — Placement, Drummers and the destruction of, Voice of God, etc.

In the last blog I covered different kinds of mics and mentioned a few applications. Tonight I’ll talk about some stuff that is a little more fun. The kind of stuff that you can try out in your home studio. Tricks of the trade and some common studio tricks that are used by masters and oddly I don’t see turn up in the semi pro world enough.

Recording Gear A -Z, Z – A and other stuff……

In this blog, or it may end up being multiple blogs, I will cover all the boxes and knobs and wires and crap that make a studio a studio. I will attempt to explain things in a way that a beginner will understand at the same time I will attempt to cover things in a way that will allow someone with experience to get some tricks and techniques. We will all see if I can pull it off. I sure hope I can do it since I bragged to a friend recently that I could and he will remind me regularly if I screw it all up and just end up confusing everyone
