Solutions to your audio production
I have a fascination with the music and audio industry. From the early years of audio production – with its free-spirited environment but limited recording gear – to the modern era where every style goes and every recording technique is valuable; from the era of the 8-track to the power usage of infinite Pro-Tools tracks, the recording process has always captivated me.
The aim of this website is to help interested newcomers get started in the world of audio production. I'll supply you guys with useful information regarding audio technology and music production, from recording to mixing, running live sound and choosing the right recording software.
With these brief articles, I'll tackle some of the basic
issues of audio technology. Like I said, the goal here is to assist
those who do not know much about the mechanics and workings of
recording an album. Essentially, I hope to enlighten the reader and
help spark ideas.
