The greatest bit of recording studio gear (in my opinion) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I hate it when people rope you in and they say, “Oh, the greatest bit of studio sound gear is your ears.” Yes, very witty... but I’m not going to use that as a cop-out in this article. I don’t need to explain what an ear is, do I? Or studio monitors... that’s what people assume. Yes, your lovely NS10s or yellow KRKs or Genelecs are your pride and joy, but it’s just speakers. My first speakers were a pair of Wharfedale Diamonds with the cone pushed in and some headphones that I had to re-solder e
The Psychological Horror of Chasing Credits (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maybe it’s a midlife crises or a a consequence of checking out of late stage capitalism, but I have generally come to the conclusion that I have conditioned myself to believe that the value of my place on this planet relies only on my output.I think many freelancers in TV and other project-based industries probably feel this. You sign up for a project, give it your all with a burst of energy, more than you’d probably put in on a 9-5, and then at the end of it the project reaches an anti-climax w
Oh no! did your audio peak? Get over yourself! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This one might get some of the sound engineers out with their pitchforks to slate me, but please bear in mind this article is a bit of an emotional rant that I need to get out of my system, due to some unfortunate circumstances that happened to me recently.So I’ll get the caveat out of the way before we start. You should ensure that your audio sounds the best it can, avoiding digital distortion where possible. But sometimes reality will throw a curveball at your workflow, and although this artic
You’re Not Going To Hire Me On LinkedIn Anyway, So I Might As Well Be Myself (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do you find it exhausting pretending to be employable?Since coming out as autistic, learning to unmask and attempt to be more authentic over the past few months, I’ve realised that trying to be someone I am not has eaten up a lot of my mental bandwidth over the years.A platform like LinkedIn compounds that. I think it brings out the worst in people trying to promote themselves or their ideas, especially me. I’ve seen some howlers on my feed over the years. I thought about naming and shaming, but
Yeah Immersive’s cool, but have you tried mono? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Screw it…. Give me mono over immersive sound.I’m sitting here with Ableton Live in front of me, which for those who aren’t nerds is a digital audio workstation, which is software that people make music on.As I write this, I’m about to start a Master’s in music production. I’m going back to school. My long term ambition is to one day do a PhD. Maybe it’ll happen, probably not, but let me have a dream in these dark times.And when I think about what I’m going to study, what is going to be the futur
