I&#8217;ve decided that studio monitoring is the biggest  problem in my life (yes both personal and recording) that I can solve with money.  If only lack of sex could be solved with money.  (Wait a minute!)  After endless moments of hesitation, but only [...]]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m doing voiceover for my Killer Home Recording System and I thought it would be fun to use two mics and let you fight over which one is which.
One mic is a Neumann M147.  The other mic is a Karma K58.  
Which one do you think sounds better? Vote now! This is a [...]]]></content:encoded>

I&#8217;m seriously beginning to wonder if it&#8217;s a crappy magazine, because every time I open the pages I smell fecal matter.  Okay, a “crappy” joke.  [...]]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The common theme around here at RecordingReview.com is to make dramatically more effective recordings at home.  I&#8217;m of the opinion that once a bare minimum of gear is obtained (we&#8217;ll say an SM57, a $200 condenser, and an audio interface) that additional gear upgrades offer 1% improvement (MOST OF THE TIME*)..

It&#8217;s common for people to really push to get the “best sounding” analog to digital conversion possible.

I was having a problem with a mix.  It turns out that the snare was way duller than we had realized when tracking.  I grabbed the Waves API 550A plugin and boosted upper midrange until the snare had that “crack” and “alive” quality I wanted.  Unfortunately, the hi-hat was just too much [...]]]></content:encoded>
