MIX TEMPLATES: THE LAST TEMPTATION
As I edit this, the online engineer cognoscenti are prattling on about "Ocean Eyes" by Billie Eilish being available as a Logic Pro template. I thought it might be a good time to have an unwanted, unwelcome "expectations management" session for those who think 10 million SoundCloud plays are just a point and click away.
STATING THE OB(li)VIOUS
People who produce and engineer music are competitive. Yes, we all like to speak in communal platitudes...
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...

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...

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.

Guest Post: Graham Cochrane
I'm not the best at figuring out what to write for tips and tricks for recording, but today we have an actual credible professional writer in our midst. 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...

NAMM 2022: ELECTRONIC BOOGALOO
We'll be honest here, virtual tradeshows are not our thing. That's why we chose to sit out our annual NAMM wrapup for the past two years of pandemic-based societal collapse. But this year, facemasks and bear spray in hand, we traveled to sunny Anaheim, CA, ready to again report back with the world's biggest gizmo orgasm. Manufacturers big and small from around the globe, hocking their latest wares over the world's loudest trade...
