Polarity vs Phase - Why do I need to know this? (video)
Forums
Polarity and Phase are 2 things that anyone who does music production needs to master.
Even if you only have a home studio, as soon as you start to use more than one microphone to record or if you are doing a lot of overdubs with the same instrument and mic.
Knowing what phase and polarity are will help to avoid mistakes that can diminish the sound quality of your music.
Vocal Recordings
Forums
Oftentimes vocals are looked upon as routine in the recording realm. As a result, I feel the effort one puts into details like the choice of the right mic, pre-amp, etc is minimal. But from what I've experienced, vocal recording is an area of huge possibilities. Thoughts?
Here is a blog that discusses this point:

Too much bass in DI guitar signal
Forums
Hello,
so I've just gotten into recording and for some reason my DI guitars are always waaay too bassy with a complete lack of presence. Is there a way to change the DI EQ without always having to do it afterwards?

Pest Control with ultrasound
Forums
Greetings All,
I was wondering if anyone could assist me, you see, my house often gets infected by all types of bugs and insects, so we have decided to try a new non chemical method for our property. I researched ultrasonic repellers and thought it would be worth a try.

Piano mics?
Forums
I'm using a pair of DPA 4099's to mic my current grand piano, and they've have been ok, but I have a Steinway D coming in soon. Since I'll already likely be renting some different vocal mics to compare, I'm wondering if folks here have any mic recommendations for a very very large and resonant sound. Budget is probably 3,000 or less for the pair.

Nice to see a finished project start to be shown off

The build I did during the Covid shutdown has just started to be advertised and is earning some money, so I thought I'd share the picture of it they're using. The wall wasn't blue when I left!
Nostalgic look back. Me on Drums.
Forums
Morning from sunny West Yorkshire UK,
I am not a drummer, I do play drums though. I picked it up when I was 41. I practiced many hours a day initially on a Roland TD10 kit then this wonderful Gretsch Renown Maple kit with A Zildjian Pro cymbals. Sadly the Gretsch were sacrificed in the many moves my family and I have made.
