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.

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...
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...
TUBES OF GLUE: THE TEGELER 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...
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...

Guerrilla Recording and Mixing with Nathan Daniel Music
There is that point all of us find ourselves when we know just enough about tracking and mixing to be dangerous. We’ve become aware that there is specific gear that pros use and various forums, articles, as well as ads for products all telling you “you need this or your mixes will never sound like (insert the “IT” mix engineer of the time)”. All the while you’re simply trying to get some semblance...

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.

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...
