A Fresh Look At The PreSonus Quantum 4848
Behold! The PreSonus Quantum 4848 in all its minimalist glory.
NO FRILLS. ALL THRILLS.
Twenty years ago, the Digidesign (now Avid) MBox was a milestone in the home studio DAW market. Prior to the year 2000, audio interfaces tended to be straight-ahead affairs with nothing more than line level inputs and outputs. But the MBox, with its quirky monolith form factor, bundled ProTools LE software and "designed by Focusrite" preamps gave aspiring producers a complete...
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...
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...
TUBES OF GLUE: THE TEGELER VTC
Hailing from the land of Bosch, BMW, and the Bavarian Pretzel, Tegeler Audio Manufaktur are steadily winning hearts, minds, and rack space. B. Church patches in Tegeler's OG: The VTC.
COMPRESSORS, COMPRESSORS EVERYWHERE
It's weird, we hadn't reviewed a hardware compressor in a while and then, seemingly out of nowhere, a month doesn't go by where I'm not wiring up a new box of chips, bulbs, and wires to fawn over. You'd think I'd be...
PREAMPS: A NEOPHYTE’S GUIDE
Today, I'd like to introduce our newest contributor to Everything Recording. I was browsing the Reddit r/AudioEngineering sub and saw an incredible post by B. Church. He posted a very concise writeup on something we all get a little too caught up in - Preamps. While this website deals in announcing the latest and greatest new piece of gear, sometimes we all need to recenter our perspective. I reached out to B. Church and...

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...
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...
The Evolution of a Life-Changing Idea – Jeremy Bell – ScrubBoard
Today we have a guest post from Jeremy Bell. If you're not familiar with the name, I'd bet you've watched videos (this one and this one) on his groundbreaking creation, the Scrub Board. I've been following him throughout the development and lucky for me, he wrote an exclusive article on the complete evolution of the Scrub Board. Enjoy!
“It all started with Laurie Anderson.” This is always my reply to the inevitable questions about where...
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.
