The end of another week is upon us and it’s time to talk mixers with Gary at BSW.
Before I forget, some great software headed your way as Studio1A tries out the SFX Machine VST plug-in. We’ll likely put that to work on the Mac platform as I make the switch to a MacBook Pro [...]
This morning, I take the little Kel HM-1 small diaphram condenser mic for a spin. This is a very unique mic. At only 5″ high, it looks like a mini Neumann-style condenser.
The HM-1 has very hot audio output and is extremely crisp. That’s the best way to describe the audio I heard [...]
Welcome to the Monday morning edition of PodSqod.
Today, we talk a little about a secret (well; not secret, but that sounds more intriguing) way of tapping the optical output of the Aphex 230 channel strip right into your Mac. I’ll be a little vague here on purpose because we’ll be doing a “live” demo [...]
The Stedman 101
Welcome! It’s the Friday Edition of PME, right off the virtual press.
A surprise visit from Laura is in order as we head off to Disney World for mid-day tea.
(I hope to make up for it by having a large steak dinner)
On the technology front, Laura and I talk about pop filters. [...]
During the days of summer, it’s a great time to soak up some air conditioning and talk audio.
Have a listen as we talk about the new Yamaha HS50M reference monitors installed in Studio1A.
We also have a blast taking about pop filters and audio ‘plosives. How to tame the dreaded “p-pop”?
Are all pop filters created [...]
Welcome to the Monday morning edition of PME.
We discuss a little about headphone amps, the studio wiring project (about 1/2 done at this point), and the Henry GuestPod. I find the feature set very unique and the price (considering this is pro gear) very reasonable. …don’t forget, though, this Pod needs the MultiPhones [...]
In the hot days of August, Studio1A is even hotter as the soldering guns and wire strippers take center stage in the complete rewire of not only the audio interconnects, but power cables as well.
It’s Friday, so Gary from BSW joins me to talk about the core concepts of an acoustically sound recording environment.
Even if [...]

The Aphex 230 vocal strip
It’s Friday!
Time again for Gary and I to talk tech. This week we discuss channel, vocal or voice strips. …whatever you call them, I consider a good voice strip to be a necessity.
These devices keep the dynamic range of your vocals in check and consistant so the listener hears [...]
Today, I try out the very nice TelefunkenUSA AK47 from their RFT series. The RFT series represents an affordable entrance to the product line.
The microphone characteristics are very different than most other large-diaphram condensers I have used. The sound is very pleasant to the ears. …extremely warm without an overly aggressive high-end
I [...]
