Dense Dance

The AudioPro Home Recording Course was created to familiarise musicians with the fundamentals of studio recording using explanations and examples that are easy to understand.
The text is complemented by hundreds of illustrations and two CDs containing information and audio examples.
Volume two covers: impedance and wiring (high impedance vs. low impedance, terminology, balanced vs. unbalanced); bass guitar (electric/synth, recording, mic techniques, EQ); harmonics/overtones/partials; vocals (recording, mic techniques, effects, EQ); acoustic piano and rhodes (recording, mic techniques, signal processing, sampled sounds, EQ); recording synthesisers (recording, combining textures, EQ, brass); the total recording session (instruments, preparing the recorder, media selection, time code); panning and stereo imaging; mixdown to master product (mixdown machine, tape choice, theories and concepts, setup procedure; building the mix; preparing master for duplication).
