I AM NOT a professional engineer, but have put out some pretty good home recordings using a variety of equipment and software. This is an article I wrote based on my experiences. Hopefully it might help out some newbies. If any of you pros have feedback and further thoughts, it is welcomed!

CLASH OF THE FREQUENCIES

I require I piece of hardware I don't know the name of.
I want it to be able to take a measurement of the sound pressure level over a broad frequency. And display it in a graph, also handy to be able to send data to and from a laptop.
I want to use this device in this manner.

i need to do a bass drop in a couple songs that I'm recording for a band.
I'm not sure if thats the right term or not but its the sound you hear that sounds like a dropout.
if you could help me and advise me on how to do it i would be greatly appreciative.
thanks!

Are there any generalizations one can make regarding the frequency ranges affected by the tone knobs on a guitar amp?

i.e. the range of bass, mid, treble, and presence

i.e. bass (80-300hz) *not sure if this is correct

With all this talk of bad this and bad that...I wonder, what frequencies are good?

By 'good' I'm thinking which are best for a sound to ensure good body, clarity and can cut thru the monitor to get to the performing musician?

Hello all,

Hi fellas,

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with unpleasant very high frequency 'noise' on my vocal takes that I generally have to eq out.
It's like there's some kind of artifact above 10k (that I don't think my voice is making but you never know!). If I multitrack B vs it's really noticable - almost like a hiss or a whistle.

I got a blue tube stereo tube preamp with the 12ax7 tube. As well as a apex 435 condenser mic. I want to know what frequencies these add or cut. (how they color the signal). Any idea where I can get this info?

Also is it possible to get the same info for these speakers? Altec Lansing ACS33?

Thanks

Is there software or something that I can use to see what the frequency response of my speakers are? Like say I do a full spectrum sweep, I want to know what frequencies are being boosted/cut by the speakers. Is there some way to do this?
