Pick Punch | Cool Material - StumbleUpon
Every guy picks up a guitar for the first time with the sole purpose of getting girls. It starts in a dorm room somewhere, as you awkwardly try to make your way through Stairway to Heaven, and, for those with enough determination, it ends on a huge stage with scores women waiting for you to finish your set. Whether you’re a pro or you’re still putting calluses on your fingertips, you’re most likely going through bucket-loads of picks. With the Pick Punch, you’ve got a new pick waiting for you just about anywhere.
By Kendall Scott Using equalization may be second nature for the experienced, but it can be a veritable minefield for those new to the details of the concept. Perhaps you have a rudimentary idea of basic EQ from your home sound system, or from making simple adjustments on the audio mixer that you may have in your recording/editing setup.

IK Multimedia introduces new iRig mic, mixer, and stompbox at CES | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog
IK Multimedia is showing off new products in the North Hall of CES 2012 in Las Vegas this week, and they were one of our first stops around the Las Vegas Convention Center. IK Multimedia is behind the popular Amplitube software , and has seen a lot of success with the iRig guitar port for iOS , and its followup, the iRig mic. In fact, given all of that success, IK is really going all out with the iRig brand, introducing a slew of new products to both bring audio in and out of iOS devices. The most impressive new tool on display at the show is the iRig Mix , a mobile two-track mixer that's designed to work with your iPhone or iPad. At its base, this is just a really solid mixer -- audio comes in via two 1/8" jacks at the top, and while those jacks are meant for iPad or iPhone audio, they'll really work with any input of that kind.

9 Mistakes To Avoid When Recording Your Own&Album - MTT - Music Think Tank
Before you can begin to think about marketing yourselves online you’ll first of all need to take care of the music. If, like me, you’re making that music at home then you’ll be aware of the many benefits this arrangement brings - you have the freedom to try whatever you like, you don’t have one eye on the clock and you never have to get the last bus home. The flipside is that you are on your own and, to put this gently, there will be no-one there to keep an eye on you. You are entirely free to lead yourself down any number of blind alleys before you grab the wrong end of the stick and beat yourself up with it. Recording at home requires patience, discipline and good planning……and all at the same time…and from musicians.

Audio Production
When you have recorded speech or vocals for a song, you generally don't want anything but those speech or vocals. Regardless, you often end up with breathing and other noise you don't want. If you have a decent recording to start with, a noise gate is a simple tool that can help you remove unwanted background noise—like breating—and it's something that generally comes free with any audio editing application.
