We just wrote this guide for podcasters which can be found on the AmericanMusical FB page here.
You'll learn the following: 1. The best type of microphones for podcasting. 2. How to place your microphone for optimal recording. 3. Using a pop filter to ensure your recording is free of plosives. 4. How to deal with reflections. 5. Microphone techniques. Pro Audio Essentials is a game-based course for music producers created by Izotope. It allows you to practice and improve your audio skills. This unique learning experience uses audio games, ear training, and videos to build the production skills that music makers use every day when recording, mixing, and mastering.
The TrainingSnacks Recording Microphone Buyer's Guide is a great resource that explains how different types of microphones capture sound. Learn the differences between dynamic, condenser, and ribbon mics as well as different polar patterns.
Tverb is a unique plug-in in that it's not just a reverb, its a recreation of a famous recording technique invented by Tony Visconti while recording David Bowie's vocals for the track "Heroes". In this demo you can see how as the acoustic guitar is played louder, the 2nd and 3rd microphone open via their gates. All instruments on this track have their own instance of Tverb on them. Music & Performance by Primo Sol. Tverb was developed in collaboration with legendary producer, engineer and musician Tony Visconti. The plugin was inspired by the iconic sound of the title track of David Bowie’s twelfth studio album Heroes. Tverb is a faithful recreation of Visconti's three microphone technique used with Bowie on "Heroes" at Hansa Studios, Berlin. With the Tverb plugin you can run your tracks through this legendary room with one close mic and two movable stereo room mics with control over the response characteristics of the room. Available for purchase or as part of Eventide's Ensemble Subscription, a really cool way to use every Eventide plug-in for a small fee on a recurring basis.
Wanna make beats like the rest of the cool cats? Be sure to check out Catlab, a collaborative site where you can make beats just using one of those rodents you like to catch...a mouse.
Catlab is a feline takover of BandLab, a super cool app for iPhone & Android where musicians from all over the world can collaborate. For example, you record a guitar part in New York and somebody in Singapore can record a bassline. Then somebody in Australia makes a remix of it and another from Utah lays down a vocal. Its a lot of fun and great for building inspiration. Eventide has just announced a killer deal on the secret weapon of reverb, Blackhole. From now through the end of March, 2016, Blackhole can be bought for only $49! Most reverbs are earth-bound and constrained by the physics of the real world. Eventide’s Blackhole reverb breaks the rules by allowing you to create virtual spaces that could never exist in our reality. At large sizes, its soft attack and lingering, harmonic tails allow it to really shine on guitars, strings and pads. At small sizes, those very same qualities can help add an angelic sheen to vocals or turn a simple drum track into an otherworldly rhythm section. Izotope, creators of killer processing effects such as the Ozone mastering suite, are celebrating their 15 year anniversary. As a result they're giving away the first plugin they ever made, for free! Vinyl adds lo-fi crackles, pops, and noise to your recording. This is great for those of you that sample off cds or dare we say it, compressed Mp3s!
