Stupid DAW Tricks and Other Serial Treats By Editor's Desk on July 14 2008 09:30 PM | Permalink | Author Info  Tom Volpicelli offers up the first in a series of tutorials on DAW software power techniques, Jon O'Neil begins his regular look at the business of running a home studio, and Glen Stephan has the first of two parts on overcoming bias in listening to our mixes. Tom Volpicelli, the man who put the "King" in "King Biscuit", today inaugurates his regular column for IRN with his first installment of "Stupid DAW Tricks", his periodic series of articles and tutorials on power techniques for DAW software. First up, "Frequency-based Dynamics Control", including such techniques as intelligent sibilance control and ducking automation. Not to be outdone, Jon O'Neil begins his serial look at "The Business of Music" and the financial aspects of running a home studio. This week he may not quite "Show Us The Money", but he does help explain were and how to look for it, including offering a downloadable spreadsheet that we all can use to run some basic financial operating "what ifs" for ourselves. Meanwhile, Glen Stephan, posts the nest installment of "EnginEARing", his series on critical listening skills, with the first of two artcles on recognizing and overcoming rookie listening bias. First up: The bias of volume. Two New Regular Features Added To IRN Mix By Editor's Desk on July 7 2008 09:00 PM | Permalink | Author Info  The first session of IRN's new roundtable discussion series, "Around The Console", makes it's debut, and Managing Editor Glen Stephan debuts a new semi-regularly recurring series in his column.IRN introduces it's new recurring series, "Around The Console", a series of roundtable discussions amongst our contributing engineers covering topics, issues and opinions related to the recording, mixing, mastering and overall production of independent music. Our first session, "Getting Started" is a frank discussion on what a band or artist should consider when they make the decision to take their first serious plunge into making a recording. You can read this first published session of "ATC" here.Secondly, Glen Stephan has started a new semi-regular series in his column that he calls "EnginEARing". This series will offer a step-by-step approach to developing an engineer's critical listening skills from scratch. His first entry is part one of a two-part entry on recognizing three major biases most of us have listening to music when we first start out, and learning to ignore or remove those biases when we put on our audio engineering caps.Glen will be interspersing his "EnginEARing" articles along with his general audio topic articles as see sees them in his regular column from the SouthSIDE of the audio tracks. He has published the first installment of EnginEARing; an introduction to the subject and an explanation of the importance of quality critical listening skills in the engineering process, available here now, with part two - the beginning of a treatise on overcoming common listening biases - following next week (July 14th.) |
