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...
Preamps: A Neophyte’s Guide – Words by B. Church
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...
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...
The Everything Recording Guide to “Going Pro”
So you’ve notched a few years under your belt as an audio engineer...
You’ve been recording for friends, acquaintances and friends-of-acquaintances.They’re all happy with the results, one even referred you to some friends. You’ve mixed some cuts for a local post-rock band, polished some EDM mixes, edited a local voiceover artist and even tried your hands at mastering your own demo. People told you that it sounded “pretty badass” and that it “hangs in...
2020 NAMM Wrapup
After a whirlwind weekend in Anaheim, CA the ER.com crew are back to report on not only what we saw at this year’s four-day bacchanal, but what we didn’t. (Bryan promised us Magic Mountain if we were good - sadly, we were not. Blame the $2.99 Mango Bahama Blast Margaritas at the Applebee’s across the street from the Comfort Inn)

He's written a book, The #1 Rule of Home Recording, and many videos on the subject of recording. They can be found HERE and he posts regularly on his site, The Recording Revolution. I actually check the site regularly personally for great tricks, especially on...

Exclusive: Interview with Abandoned Pools
I've been a huge fan of Abandoned Pools since their first album Humanistic. Today, Tommy is releasing his long awaited third full length album Sublime Currency and was generous enough to give us an exclusive interview.
What makes this particular interview perfect for this site is that Tommy writes, tracks, produces, engineers, and mixes the project from start to finish. Very rarely do you see an artist that versatile and committed to putting out...
Spotlight: LLANE-A
Every once in a while, you have a conversation with someone that you feel others need to hear. The other day, I was going back and forth with a good friend of Everything Recording, LLANE-A, and found his back story so compelling, we had to share it. The resulting article shows that sometimes, producers, engineers, and artists genuinely don't realize how much harder creating music is in other areas.
Who is LLANE-A
LLANE-A (pronounced Lane-A)...
