Digital Recording TipsTo avoid squashing, if it doesn't sound loud enough to your ears, turn up the monitor! If you find that you've been forced to apply limiting or compression just to keep the meters from overloading, then you've been going about this backwards. Instead, turn down your individual mix levels several dB, then get rid of any compression you were using to "protect" the 2-mix. Now

There are five main types of filter: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, band-stop and notch.A low-pass filter allows low frequencies to pass and attenuates (reduces) high frequencies.A high-pass filter allows high frequencies to pass and attenuates low frequencies.A band-pass filter allows mid-range frequencies to pass and attenuates low and high frequencies.A band-stop filter allows low and high

The most common mistake is recording vocals too loud or too soft. The main goal to recording a solid vocal is to get all of the performance. It's not easy to set levels with a good, dynamic vocalist. As soon as you think you have the level pegged, they do something like move a few inches and you find out they are louder than you thought and meters are in the red. So you lower the level and find

Compressor is an essential part in recording. Todays recordings always use compression in some individual tracks, and also possibly the entire mix.But whenever you compress, you add noise. It always happens because there is no such noise free recordings. So here we have a problem that requires a solution if our recordings are not to suffer.First of all we should know why compressor add noise?

MicrophonesBoth condenser and dynamic microphones can be used to record vocals. Generally in professional studios, large diaphragm condensers are used, as they have a refined sound with a wide dynamic range and extended frequency response. Many excellent vocals, however, have been recorded on commonly available dynamics like the Shure SM58.Choice of mic is down to what you have available, but in

Technical Reasons to Avoid Overall Compression on Your Album.Save decisions on overall compression and individual tune equalization for an expert CD mastering house because:1) The mastering house will have a more appropriate compressor with the proper attack, ratio, and release times exactly right for your music. If you mixed to digital tape, they will probably use a 24-bit digital compressor for

Reverb is essential in mixing, here are several tips in using reverb differently.Rather than trying to make everything in the mix in the same acoustic environment, why not use a couple of really diverse reverbs to add some strange depth to your tunes? A really dry, upfront vocal works nicely alongside a really 'drowned' string section or a small bright room setting on the drums.Try automating
