THAT DISNEY GLAMPLE IS HASHED : 11 NEW AUDIO TERMS FOR 2021
"Mojo." "Warmth." "Punchy." "Forward." Few professions trade in the glut of buzzwords, idioms and analogies quite like audio production. These pieces of hazy phraseology serve not only to describe the seemingly indescribable, but force others to nod along knowingly, lest you discover they have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
But this year, EverythingRecording is turning the tables. There's no better buzzword than the one you create yourself and then unleash upon...
A Fireside Chat With Howard Benson and Chris Lord-Alge
Sure, we can go on all day about STLTones Tonality. In fact, we just did. But we figured, wouldn’t it be better to talk to the engineering ears and mixing minds behind the sounds? Chris Lord-Alge and Howard Benson took some time to sit down with us and give their take.
Just give us a little background on how Tonality started?
HOWARD: Chris has been in the plug-in business a very long time, and I...
Five 500 Series Modules For Under $500
CHAMPAGNE TASTE AT A SPARKLING WINE PRICE.
What is it about the 500 series format that makes it so popular? I guess for some, it's building modular setups that cater exactly to what they want to record. For others, it's being able to easily switch out modules for different applications. But underneath it all, being able to have "a bit of this and a bit of that" all in one rack is pretty damn...
OF METAL AND IMMORTALITY. THE TERRY DATE INTERVIEW.
Sure, Quiet Riot may have sang “Bang Your Head”, but Terry Date has made a hundred records that literally MAKE you do it. While some producers have careers, Terry Date has carved out a legacy. As the sonic architect of pivotal albums like Pantera’s “Vulgar Display Of Power”, Deftones’ “White Pony” and Soundgarden’s “Louder Than Love”, his influence is still heard on just about every heavy artist and album out there today.
With Terry...
MY WAVEFORMS ARE WEAPONS: THE AUDIOSCAPE D-COMP
"Oh my God, not another one." - Mrs. B Church
That's the thing about leaving the big studios and setting up shop in a converted NYC bedroom, I guess. Not that my wife could tell you what any of my gear is or what it does in the context of producing music. Or that she cares, despite my occasional excited demonstrations. But splurge for so much as a new set of fancy 500 series...

STL TONES TONEHUB: A TONE-MONGER’S PARADISE
A few months back, we did a fairly comprehensive review of STL Tones' "Tonality" - which now offers a layer of Chris Lord-Alge-ness with a selection of his own "pre-mixed" presets. Though we universally praised both its ease of use and staggeringly solid emulation, a frequent remark was that without more granular tone-tweaks like mic placement and a more robust effect assortment, some might find themselves left wanting. And for those people, they'd...

Demystifying Acoustics with Jeff Hedback – Part 2
In Part 1, we discussed the misleading paths that every engineer initially faces when the mix doesn’t translate. We also brought in an important ally – Jeff Hedback, owner of HD Acoustics. Part 2 brings in Everything Recording’s new studio space and all of the groundwork you need to lay before even considering what’s going on the walls. With the introductions out of the way, let’s get to the good stuff.

Congrats to Jeff Hedback for the Cover of Mix Magazine
While Jeff has been in nine other issues of Mix Magazine (and every single "Class of" since 2013), one of Jeff's TWO "Class of" designs finally (and deservedly) made the cover. Yes, you heard me right. Jeff has TWO designs in this year's "Class of" features. The article can be found HERE.
We are proud to have an ongoing series with Jeff and want to offer him the sincerest congratulations! Although Jeff has some...
