Tweak's Guide to the Home and Project Studio

OK, so you are new. You have an idea of making and producing your own music. And you feel inspired. Perhaps you are a seasoned musician, tired of paying someone else to produce your music. Perhaps you are building a studio to record your band. Or you are into producing audio for video, film, podcasts. Of course, you still can make a large studio with tons of outboard gear (which sounds better than ever), or you can let computers and modern digital multi track machines replace hundreds of functions that used to require separate hardware units. We are not talking about a cheap, hissy, unprofessional sound, like we used to get with old 4 track cassette studios. But don't think just because you have the gear you will sound like a million bucks, automatically. Basically, we consider the studio itself to be a musical instrument. The great masters of the recording arts learned their techniques by devoting their lives creating, capturing and tweaking sound. Who are we? What is this Guide?

USING EQUALISATION Technique : Effects / Processing Paul White and Mike Senior explain how to get the best practical results from equalisation by understanding the true frequency ranges of most instruments and voices. An understanding of the variety of different equalisation tools at your disposal can help in choosing the most suitable type of processing for any situation. However, using equalisation is about much more than just selecting the correct unit and this month, we will be looking at how best to employ equalisation techniques in music production. The first challenge when equalising musical sounds is in deciding which area of the frequency spectrum corresponds to which element of a sound's timbre. Pitch & Frequency One thing that can help a little in deciding this is to know what frequencies correspond to the fundamentals of each musical pitch. Knowing the frequencies corresponding to certain pitches can also be useful when attempting to remove unwanted pitched elements, such as hum, from sounds.
