• Sample Rates A Mini Dive



    Chris and Jody do a mini dive into the world of sample rates and what they mean. What exactly is a sample rate? Why we choose certain sample rates. Should you upsample after recording at a lower sample rate? A short history of how digital gear got better with sample rates over time. How did “they” arrive at their sample rates initially. Drawbacks of higher sample rates are discussed. Plus the ONE thing you shouldn’t do when recording in relation to sample rates. It’s all in here. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

    Stick around and find out what Friday Finds Chris and Jody discovered this week that will be beneficial to your recording prowess.

  • DI Guitar Recording Practices



    Chris and Jody tackle the concept of recording Guitar using Direct Input techniques. Generally reserved for electric guitar, but can also be used for acoustic guitar if it’s equipped with pickups. They talk about the different methods of DI that you can use. Plus the how’s and why’s of doing DI type recording. It’s also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discussed.

  • Phase Cancellation Where Did It Go?



    Chris and Jody take on the concept of Phase Cancellation. What exactly is it? What does it do to the sound of an instrument when you’re micing it? How does it get in the way of a mix? Does it get in the way of a mix? You don’t want to miss this one. It’s also not unlikely that there will be some nonsense discussed.

  • Producer Does What and Mix Engineers Do What



    This week Chris & Jody tackle the definition of what a Producer actual does and what a Mix engineer actually does. Going thru the “old school” means they were defined by. Of course we have the all important Friday Finds and there’s some real good ones this week. A big thank you for the listener who sent us a request to define these rolls in the world of music recording. It is not unlikely that some nonsense will also be discussed.
