Reverb gives sound verisimilitude. Think of it as the persistence of sound after it is produced—a phenomenon of multiple clashing and diverging sonic reflections whose characteristics are defined by the surfaces and materials they contact. It reveals the nature of a physical space in infinitesimal detail.
Reverb defines the tangible nature of space and our place within it—something that sighted and hearing humans often take for granted. You can infer a ton of knowledge about an environment simply by listening to what it sounds like.

Mixing audio is not an exact science—there are many ways to achieve similar results, and what works for one project may not for another. In my ten-plus years of mixing, I’ve had the privilege and opportunity to learn both common and lesser-known techniques from some of the best engineers in the world, as well as the time and practice to discover my own tricks and techniques through experimentation and a few happy accidents. We don’t gatekeep at B&H—here are ten helpful techniques you can use to bring the best out of your mix.

Audio engineering is something of an arcane science. Unlike the more tangible fields of engineering, the success of an audio engineer—outside of material wealth—is subjective. When it comes to the work of an engineer, a collapsing bridge is a lot more palpable than a bad mix.
This subjectivity has led to the dissemination of some fantastical claims that defy the laws of physics, acoustics, and mathematics! We can measure nearly every aspect of audio in a tangible way—mathematician Joseph Fourier has proven that all sound can be recreated by or
Choosing a Digital Audio Workstation, or DAW, is a major decision. For beginners, it will define their learning curve, workflow, and operating knowledge—for professionals, compatibility, functionality, and familiarity is key. In this guide, we will give some detailed overviews of the most popular DAWs in the audio industry, what their strengths and weaknesses are, and some of their unique features.
If you’re in a rush, here’s a quick rundown of the best DAWs for a variety of common purposes:

The Yamaha NS-10 is the divisive and decidedly drab nearfield studio monitor whose story serves as testament to the world-altering power that can be deracinated from the troughs of mundanity. NS-10s aren’t sexy, nor are they rare or expensive—they don’t even sound good. So, what made these humble noisemakers such a mainstay in the audio community for nearly fifty years?
Honest and transparency are two of the most desirable traits in a relationship—

While small two-person 2.4 GHz wireless microphone systems are ubiquitous across social media (partly due to the large logos emblazoned across their transmitters), experienced shooters know these systems are prone to occasional dropout, as well as mic capsules that often sound tinny and compressed. For video projects that demand consistent, high-quality audio, professional microphone systems with wider transmission ranges and more robust lavaliers are essential—which is why Saramonic’s new
