This is a popular question. I've been in some preliminary talks with a potential new client for a design and supervisory role on a new home studio build in my area.

The obvious question is how much, the reply, well. . It depends. So many variables exist in studio construction it's very different than any other type of construction in a home.

andre linked this paper, and I thought it would be good to have over here, just for general interest.

The discussion was based on 'house curve' where studios tend to have a response that has a boost in the lows and a dip in the highs.

I'd be thrilled if anyone can offer advice with anything I can do to this track.

The situation:
The recording was made at an Old Town Hall in this room. It's so reverberant that when I got there to set up it was just the organizer and myself talking from opposite sides of the room and could barely hear what he was saying because everything was bouncing off the walls like mad.

Questionnaire: Can Analogue and digital recording co-exist?

1) What is your preferred medium for recording, analog tape or digital and why?

2) Do you feel there is still a cold vs warm debate in terms of actual recording medium and front end and processing equipment given digital recordings progress?

Sean sent me a PM and asked me if I might take shot at explaining Parallel Compression ( from here on out, we'll refer to this as PC, and not as a refernce to my esteemed colleague PC/ Marco. ;) ). Sean thought that perhaps those who are newer - or more novice mixers - might benefit from an explanation.

Been experimenting with using two mics on my acoustic - an SM57 (dynamic), and a single RODE M5 (a condenser). I generally blend these (with the 57 doing most of the work) but the RODE still contributing.

I didn't realize it was on last night, so I didn't watch it. But apparently Adele's performance is the topic of water cooler conversation today (and I've since watched it on YouTube). I guess there was a problem with a mic in the piano...

I found this article - really interesting stuff, on Decca Trees and other stereo techniques

Hi All -

Really proud of this one. The song - and the recording. 100% in the box - -- in my danged living room.

Sometimes I really dig what technology let's me do.

Thanks for listening. Hope you dig it!
