Sounds that are too loud or loud sounds over a long time, can damage your hearing. Protect your ears when you are involved in a loud activity. Know your limits. Respect your ears. Decibel Sound Ruler

Great music emits good vibrations. It’s not the same as noise. There is a difference!

Ok, it’s the perfect recording session and the mixing phase begins, but wait. what is that humming that I hear? You guessed it, ground noise. What is it and why does it happen? First of all, ground noise happens when wires or equipment hasn’t been properly constructed, bad wiring, or just a noisy electronic environment. You may or may not be the culprit, but the problem can be corrected. It just stinks that it happened on your perfect recording. Share with me some of your situations.

Stereo  and mono is where we enjoy most of our sounds, but mid-side adds a different flavor to the kool-aide! Try it sometime.

There are several ways for you can mic a drum kit. I will pretty much mic everything and separate it when mixing. How do you mic drums?

Voices vary in tone, harmonics, and pitch. It helps to have the right mic for those types.

Work, family relationships, friends, self…., We all have value, and nobody should be able to take it from you!

Creating music quality takes someone with a passion to give you what personifies them. Don’t settle for just anything. This is you, we’re talking about.

As an engineer, producer, or artist you cannot impose your intent over the sonic personality of a piece of music…. The music always wins out! We must let the music tell us what it wants!
