Everyone enjoys music and everyone has their own taste in it. But no matter what people think about, there is one common thread with everyone who partakes in this past time, it is a catharsis which makes life seem a little less boring. That’s why you have the opportunity to listen to as much music [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/audio-lingo-types-of-noise/ http://www.audival.net/2010/audio-lingo-types-of-noise/ 24 August 2010, 1:00 pm
To most people noise might just be noise, but in the audio world there’s more than one type of noise. The various types are named after colors, such as white and pink. According to Wikipedia, the color names for these different types of sounds are derived from a loose analogy between the spectrum of frequencies [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/basic-mic-techniques/ http://www.audival.net/2010/basic-mic-techniques/ 17 August 2010, 1:26 am
So you’ve got your microphone hooked up to your computer, it receives sound and you have found the record button. However, when you try to record your voice it just doesn’t sound good. What’s the problem? Today I’m going to discuss some general techniques for recording through a microphone. I’ll follow up this post at [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/audio-lingo-equalizer/ http://www.audival.net/2010/audio-lingo-equalizer/ 10 August 2010, 11:54 am
The Equalizer – or EQ for short – is basically a device that let’s you “sculpt” the sound by raising or lowering the volume at a specific frequency as opposed to lowering or raising the volume of the entire spectrum like a regular volume control does. When talking about EQs this is generally referred to [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/audio-lingo-compressor/ http://www.audival.net/2010/audio-lingo-compressor/ 3 August 2010, 12:06 pm
The compressor is a device that basically compresses the sound , that is, reducing the dynamics. By doing so it is possible to better “glue” the sounds together and in the end also raise the volume. Each compressor functions differently, but common controls are threshold which decides at what levels the compressor shall start working, [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/bring-out-the-broom/ http://www.audival.net/2010/bring-out-the-broom/ 23 July 2010, 12:25 pm
Following last days post on cleaning up your recordings I’ll give you a list of a couple of helpful plug-ins and applications that are specialized on this task. Most of these are rather expensive, but they can prove to be worth the price. Waves Restoration Bundle and Waves Z-Noise. Waves is a classic plug-in developer [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/a-few-podcast-microphones/ http://www.audival.net/2010/a-few-podcast-microphones/ 16 July 2010, 11:13 am
Here’s a few USB powered microphones and kits made for podcasting or the like. When USB microphones first came into this world they got a bad rep among professionals. Since then it seems like things have change, at least a bit. I have no idea about how good these particular microphones are though, so you’ll [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/time-for-war-1/ http://www.audival.net/2010/time-for-war-1/ 8 July 2010, 12:22 pm
This is a dark one… Use with caution, you might get cursed! * * * EDIT: For some reason a volume automation in the beginning of the clip had disappeared and I didn’t notice it until now. Here’s the correct version. The difference is that the drums fade in… Sometimes small changes make a lot [...]...]]> http://www.audival.net/2010/eco-echo-1/ http://www.audival.net/2010/eco-echo-1/ 1 July 2010, 4:36 am
Here’s a contemplative little thing built around some loop, kicks, electric piano and some weird backwards stuff. In case you didn’t know, I’ve been trying to put together lots of different types of clips now in the beginning so that people with all kinds of weird tastes can find something interesting here. As with all [...]...]]>
