Digital Studio Production

”Major Recording Project” is the title for my assignment, weight 60% of the module mark and must be submit by 21.01.11. I’m thinking to get Pro Tools 9 soon to finish the mixing home.

The aim for this assignment is to produce a professional stereo and 5.1 surround sound recording for a client. Recording part is in group, and the mixing part is individual.

I was in group D with Sam Garside and Margiori  Tsiount. We had really nice time and fun in the studio during the recording. The band called Fortunate Sons, Tony (Guitar), The General (Vocal), Shea (Drums) and Dave (Bass). They were amazing, well organized and professional, no one made a mistake.

Equipments and Setup

  • Kit 1 (drum mic) 5 x Shure SM57
    • 2 were used for the guitar
    • 3 were used for the drums
  • Kit 2 (drum mic)
  • 2 Roda NT2A were used for the overhead
  • 1 Neumann U87i ( most expensive and most famous microphone) used for the vocal
  • 2 DI boxes, one was for the guitarist and the other one was for the bassist
  • 1 Shure SM58 was used for guide Vox for the band
  • 2 live rooms were used
    • The guitar was setup in live room D
    • The drums in live room C
  • The bass and the guide Vox were in control room C

    (as shows here in the video)

  • Finally the main Vox recorded in live room D

8 songs were recorded in Pro tools

Facebook’s primary purpose is to facilitate contact between friends, old and current. We follow each other’s lives a little bit of direction and sometimes we comment on whether anyone had any fun. On Facebook, we can post pictures, send messages, chat, etc.. For many, Facebook has replaced more traditional channels such as email and instant messaging. Facebook is a closed network in the sense that you have to send a friend request before you can read someone else’s Facebook page. This means that Facebook is perceived as more “private” or protected than the more open networks. On Facebook, it is also easy to create different groups, for example, compounds or special interests.
5 benefits of Facebook

§ Many users, chances are that your friends are on Facebook
§ Easy to understand and use
§ Everything from short quick comments to longer messages
§ Can replace e-mail and chat
§ Available game and entertainment

Twitter
Why Twitter? The question I asked myself before I registered my account. Is it not enough up? Because many people do it enough it. Twitter has some characteristics that make up the complement in a good way. Tex is fully open Twitter, you can be without permission to follow a person you think is interesting. You choose if you just want to “sneak read” or if you want to participate in the conversation. Twitter has become popular among many technical, bloggers and others who live much of their lives online. Through Twitter, you can ask a question and quickly receive a reply. Twitter is used for short quick messages to 140 characters and to tell about and find interesting links.
5 benefits of Twitter

§ Follow who you want, do not require two-way interaction
§ Get to know new people
§ Find information and answers to questions
§ Quick and Easy
§ Anyone can participate in a discussion
Gather everything in one window

I myself use Tweetdeck to communicate both to Facebook and Twitter. I write a status update is released it immediately on both networks, so people can choose where they want to follow me. Likewise, I see comments and instant messages in Tweetdeck, so really it is as easy as if I just used one of the networks. Besides Tweetdeck there are more similar solutions, such HootSuite and Seesmic.
Outer and inner circle
On Twitter, I am pretty quick to follow new people, I get a tip on a good / interesting twitter, I start to follow. Some I continue then follow. On the other hand, are up only people I know personally. Old friends, current friends, uni and networking contacts. A little bit of an external and an internal circle. Now I am fairly new to Twitter, possibly in my behavior to change over time. We’ll see. Anyway, I think both networks fill a place in my life, I find both work and pleasure in participating.

Nano-Studio

is almost the perfect music program I found for the iPhone. The little powerhouse will fit everything we could imagine and more.
Okay, get ready for a proper tribute. I have been looking for a worthy opponent to the old, fully functional with no dating, music creates app Beat Maker. It’s here. Nano Studio is also much better. Is this the best music I have tested?! Maybe.

It is structured around six different tracks, four synth tracks and two sample tracks. Synth in question is called “Eden” and have a variety of settings you can change. There is naturally a plethora finished versions. Sampler called TRG-16 and consists of 16 “pads“, each loaded with a noise, either from the sound bank or your own samples or your own drum kits or record any sample by using the microphone. In addition, a variety of effects you can add on, and that can be controlled in real time. 128 pre-configured presets for the synths and a bunch of effects are just a few of the highlights (effects). Total polyphony – 48 stereo 44.1kHz voices, Buffer latency – 10ms the voice has a 2 pole resonant filter, 3 envelope generators and 4 LFO‘s. Perform and record controller movements using dual X/Y pads and pitch bend.

The interface can be at first glance seem mixed up or messy, but it does not take long to make the structure and learn it. The good thing is you can make a music wherever you are like in the bus, train or in your break at work. You can easily share your mix others and you can use NanoSync to copy the exported .wav file to your PC or Mac over Wifi.

There is much more to tell about Nano studio and built in help. It’s absolutely great music maker application and I strongly recommend you buy it. In addition, the sounds are very clean and clear.

Pro Tools has long been one of the most used audio applications. There is now an industry standard that most major studios are working on Pro Tools,  for example the hit movie Avatar used Pro Tools HD to record the sound tracks.


Pro Tools 9 released and it will compatible with any sound card/Audio interface!. As long as your sound card supports Asio or Core Audio so it will work with Pro Tools 9. You also need a computer with at least Mac OS X 10.6.2 or Windows 7, earlier versions are not supported.

iLok hardware requirement


The news was expected, but no less gratifying. The only hardware required to run Pro Tools 9 is a iLok dongle. Although there may be an annoyance with a dongle, this is a solution that several other manufacturers are working with, among others Steinberg. And rather than a dongle requirement to run the Avid hardware. Avid told that they place on the hardware requirement has been deep, dedicated hardware has long been a part of their business model. But users need choice and risk have been major users leaving Pro Tools as some competing DAW’s at least as skilled as Pro Tools and needs no special hardware.

Twice as many channels


Another limitation that users of the old Pro Tools LE complained long for is the number of available channels. With version 9, Pro Tools supports playback of up to 96 channels simultaneously. Similarly, the number of simultaneous recording channels doubled to 32. And speaking of the LE, with version 9 that there is only one Pro Tools version. However, you can get access to more features and channels if you are using Avid’s hardware.

It cost £504.95 for the basic version and £1679.95 for the Complete Production Toolkit 2. You can get the upgrade (Pro Tools Crossgrade) for £199 if you already own the Digidesign hardware.
