As an audio writer, engineer, and active musician, I can confidently say that it’s pretty rare to come across a piece of audio gear these days that feels “new.” That is to say, it often feels like it’s all been done, and many products tend to be incremental iterations on an old theme: a resurrected piece of classic hardware, a smaller form factor, slightly higher audio resolutions. So, when the request to review Shure’s interesting new

It won’t take long for any discussion about the sound of analog consoles to veer into the desirability of Neve boards, and for good reason. Their harmonic coloration and open soundstage, sometimes subtle and other times eye-opening, make the Neve tone a “must have” for engineers, producers, and musicians across the Earth. Knowing that a large-format console is out of reach for the typical DAW user, Rupert Neve Designs has tapped into 60 years of experience to create the
Recording a guitar amplifier is easy, but recording one well can be quite tricky. In addition to the guitar and the amp, the acoustics of your recording space play a big role, as do mic placement and the microphone itself.

Plus, acoustic treatment can be unsightly, and while you may think it looks cool, your partner or family members may think it’s
When I set out to redesign my home studio from scratch, I knew I wanted to build something completely different than my old-school Black Lion Audio Mod Digidesign 002 based setup. My music production workflow had changed quite a bit from when I bought the 002, having evolved from a more hardware-based process to one that’s largely software based, with a bit of live instrumentation and outboard gear in the mix. Taking that into consideration, I also wanted this
When it comes to studio recording, there’s something about the sound of classic British consoles that musicians, singers, engineers, and producers just can’t resist. Aiming to give people more of what they want, Heritage Audio—already well known for its analog outboard gear—has released two new pieces of studio equipment, the HA-81A hybrid channel strip and the
