Vinyl Mastering Advantages

Early 1960s was the time when A&R man (who was responsible for arranging and coordinating all the professionals such as singers, musicians, audio technicians and instrumentation) started getting replaced by record producer. Due to the increase in control of record companies and decrease in the authority of musicians as record producer became more important than the singer in the recording process. One of the example of record producers of that time is Phil Spector, who was considered as one of the most significant record producer because he wrote and recorded many hit songs. It was through these songs, Spector developed his famous “Wall of sound,” which included recording a large number of instruments, blending the sounds together, adding reverb,

Most successful musicians know a hidden art carried out by the work of a good sound engineer; it is essential for a magnificent album. For the rest of us novice listeners and fans, we believe what we hear through our speakers or played over the radio are the true skilled professional musicians, soaring at their craft. Most contemporary music, from pop to R&B and acid jazz to the sophisticated realm of orchestral film scores, has been modernized by several inventions encased within the studio. The art of audio engineering has taken on new forms, from the nuts and bolts, "plug it in, and see if it works" era into the digital world, because of these wonderfully tragic solutions to a

Analog recording was developed late 1940's but the impact of it wasn’t really felt ‘til the 1950's. Limitations of vinyl physically and sonically paired with the analog recording technique soon became apparent. Performances that were recorded on cutting lathes for the format were limited by a few basic things; the amount of time on one side of the vinyl, the amount of low end audio, and the performances dynamics. If any of these basic issues were to be out of balance it could very easily render a near perfect performance

Audio sampling will always create a drop in quality. The closer together the sampling is the more it represents the original analogue sound. Also the more levels you have the less “error” there will be.

Despite all their flaws, vinyls continue to be made and sold, and any music aficionado knows that in order to have the best and most natural sound they'll have to find a vinyl record. Vinyls left behind a lasting legacy of pure sound, and no other form of recording has ever surpassed

that sticking with turntables is the way to go because real DJs use wax (vinyl), and

It is hard because when you get the mix, you have one sound after the other which you have designed from the beginning to be the largest sound ever heard. The challenge turned out to be more in the mixing than the creation. You have the dialogue, the music and larger than life sound effects thrown together. James Cameron really shaped the mix. He had a very distinctive idea of how he wanted to feature music and effects in each scene. He saw things in terms of rhythm. Gary Rydstrom likes sounds

The Scope: Wilkinson Audio has released a brand new plugin that uses a different approach when dealing with drum bleed. Unlike a conventional gate, De-Bleeder uses automated equalization of sorts to remove the bleed. The result: an extremely effective, natural, and fun-to-use processor that works well.

The music industry has changed in very quickly in so many ways it almost seems impossible. Thomas Edison recorded the first voice in 1877 and now we listen to hundreds of different types of music on devices that hold more information than the computers that sent the first astronaut to the moon. People have been getting music in tons of ways for the past hundred plus years and when the internet came into the picture, the music industry sky rocketed. People could get their own music out and be heard just by clicking a few measly buttons and using the internet to stream millions of songs with high speed. But even though the internet has helped the music industry by making it easier to distribute, advertise, and produce music, it still has its disadvantages.

The entrance of the studio is fixed with an airlock. There are two doors at the airlock section, one leading to the live room and the other one leading to the control room. Manipulation and recording of sound are done in the control room. Right beside the live room (studio), there is a drum room. The drum room has been sealed from the live room to avoid penetration of sound. The control room is placed at a central place where it borders all other rooms except the drum room. This is because it serves as a central space where large physical facilities, as well as physically dispersed services, can be controlled and monitored. Inside the control room, there is a Console whose function id to mix sound. The room also has an effect rack whose function is to reflect sound. At the back of the room, there are bass traps. They are acoustic energy absorbers which are designed to trap low-frequency sound energy. The main function of the bass traps in the control room is to get a flatter low-frequency

However, modern technology has made it possible to package many of the features of large recording studios into small digital recording consoles, which amateur musicians can afford.  The price of one of these consoles, the Tascam Digital Portastudio 788, at Musiciansfriend.com, is $899.99 [1].  This console, although seemingly expensive, is much more cost-effective than paying for an entire studio, and can achieve nearly the same results.  The real benefit of a digital recording console, however, is the creative control it bestows upon musicians.  Instead of having a producer who dictates how the recording should sound, the musician becomes the producer, giving him complete control over all aspects of the composition.  Additionally, because of the cost of studio recording, a musician's time in the studio is usually limited.  However, with a personal digital recording console, one can freely experiment with new ideas without time constraints.  While this unmediated recording environment theoretically provides an artist with unlimited creative flexibility, it also allows for detrimental misuse in the form of non-original composition, which can negate the creative possibilities of this new artistic process.

The Loudness button on consumer stereo receivers is an equalization circuit that boosts the highs and lows as the volume is lowered so the music will sound the same whether soft or loud. Noise-shaping circuits filter dither and quantization noise into the extreme upper range, where we will simply notice it less.

way that creates the “perfect” tone. These manufactured sounds are what created one of today’s

The advancements of technology have impacted the recording studios more dramatically than any other career within the music industry. Thus the necessity to adapt to these changes is vital for any individual working in this field. However, these advancements have also made the technology of professional recording studios more accessible and subsequently caused the rise of home recording studios.
