Take Control...Anywhere
Wireless DAW Control Has Arrived

Advertorial by Jim Aikin


If you're a musician with a personal studio, you've probably found yourself in this common situation: you're working by yourself recording vocals, guitar, drums, or (in my case) cello. You know the routine: you hit the Record button, dash across the room, sit down behind the sound baffles, put on your headphones, and pick up your instrument in time to start playing along with the existing tracks. Yes, you can do it, assuming you're physically mobile, but there's always the danger of tripping over something, and if you made any mistakes (hey, it happens to the best of us), you get to do it all over again. And again. Afterward, your tracks (and hard drive) will be cluttered with useless bits of audio in which the only sound is a foot hitting a mic stand. A remote is the obvious answer.

    Recording Outside the Box

    By Pat Kirtley

    Excerpt from the Electronic Musician Archives

    In the early 1930s, before the word "transducer" was ever heard, a 13-year-old named Lester Polfuss jammed the needle of a phonograph cartridge into the wooden top of his guitar in a desperate attempt to electrify it on the cheap. It wasn't the first means anyone had discovered to amplify or record the sound of a guitar, nor would it be the last, but it was a quirky alternative to the established ways. It did the job, and the kid who grew up to be Les Paul was using his creative mind to think outside the box. More>>>

    Recording on a Dime

    By Sean D. Carberry

    Excerpt from the Electronic Musician Archives

    Back in the days of analog tape and acetate masters, artists typically made records in hours, not in months or years as is often the case in today's world of plug-ins and tubemic simulators. John Coltrane recorded A Love Supreme (Impulse, 1964), one of the greatest jazz albums of all time, in a mere four-hour session. Up until that time, most recordings were cut live, often with no opportunity to overdub. With that approach, how long could it possibly take to record an album? More>>>
