In the past, whenever I’ve been asked to explain the origins of the flanging effect, I’d respond that it came from the fact that you’d slow down one of the three tape machines needed for the original effect by putting your finger on the tape flange. . .but it was John Lennon who actually named […]

An easy upgrade to almost any playback system is a dedicated monitor controller, and the new Heritage Audio R.A.M. […]
Continue readingAi (artificial intelligence) is already being successfully used in a number of audio production tools, and that use will continue to grow whether we’re ready for it or not.

It’s inevitable. No matter how many times you’ve built a studio, you have that “Oops, I forgot,” moment at the end. If you’re lucky, it’s something that isn’t major, but a lot of people have been known to do things they’re sorry for later, like close up the walls before installing the electrical or the […]
