This Is How Sound Isolation Is Measured

Measuring sound isolation

I recently received a couple of questions on how sound isolation is determined, so I thought it would be a good time to bring this post back. One of the things that many musicians and engineers don’t realize is that there’s a tried and true way to actually measure sound isolation. This excerpt from my […]

New Music Gear Monday: Sonible smart:reverb Plugin

Sonible smart:reverb plugin

AI-driven plugins have been with us for a number of years now, although they’ve not had the hype that the current batch of non-audio AI apps (like ChatGPT) have been getting. That doesn’t make them any less effective, and in fact, they provide not only a new way to interface with the plugin but the […]

Why The Sound Of Vintage Reverbs Still Retain Their Allure

Vintage reverbs - still a sound that everyone wants

Just like with almost any plugin category, you don’t have to look very hard to find a reasonably good reverb plug these days. Name a developer and they probably have a reverb that’s more than usable. Even though many developers have tried to think outside the box making reverb parameters more sophisticated, the sound of […]

The Harrison Acquisition By Solid State Logic Is A Good Fit For Both

Harrison acquired by SSL

When I first got into the recording end of the music business MCI was a much-used console brand, especially on the East Coast. I can’t say that they sounded as good as the Neves and APIs of that era, but they were affordable and professional. MCI audio designer Dave Harrison broke from MCI in 1975 […]

New Music Gear Monday: Softube Bus Processor Plugin

Softube Bus Processor Plugin

We’re using more and more processors all the time, and not only is it taking time to set them all up, but they’re taking up precious computer horsepower as well. That’s why there’s a trend towards all-in-one processors that let you do it all with just one plugin. Softube’s Bus Processor plugin is one of […]

A Singing IBM 7904 Computer Launched Computer Music Way Back In 1961

IBM 7095 computer

I’ve been posting a lot about how things that we think are modern today actually were created in the past. One is sound design, and another is a computer generated voice and singing. That’s something that an IBM 7094 computer actually did as an experiment way back in 1961, and it influenced a blockbuster movie […]

New Music Gear Monday: Acustica Fire The EXP Expander Plugin

Acustica Audio Fire The Exp expander plugin

Loops and samples can sometimes sound lifeless thanks to over-processing, but if you’ve got the perfect beat for your song then you need something to add that life back in. An expander is a good choice, but sometimes they’re complicated and difficult to set up. Acustica has gone to great lengths to make setup for […]

Sound Design In 1941 Was Amazing

Sound design in 1941

The DAW has helped us in so many ways when it comes to audio production of just about any type. We can manipulate sounds to an amazing degree and the precision of when they occur is many times beyond what a person can do. That said, there is the performance aspect in the process that […]

Hush AI-driven denoiser

Today’s artist is more concerned with getting the performance recorded than how it sounds, as it should be.
