In this episode I explain Air EQ, or Why the heck would anyone boost EQ at 40K?. I show some 40K boosting with the air band on the Maag EQ4 plugin and we pull up examples with Al Stewart in the studio (with Dave Nachmanoff) to try it out.

Hard to believe this is Episode #50!! Thanks so much for everyone that watches and even more thanks to everyone that shares the show with their friends.

To celebrate we are giving away a Cloud Microphones Cloudlifter CL-1,  25dB phantom powered mic amp.

Then we review the Nvelope, a ground breaking dynamics processor from Elysia and do a little comparison to the SPL Transient Designer. The show came out  longer than I expected, but has a lot of good info and recording advice.  I do examples in real time, so try to watch the show with some decent speakers or headphones if you can.

We have only one spot left for my six day Recording Boot Camp in LA at the end of the month, and a few left for the one in Athens Greece in September.

This was supposed to be a short video about hi hat mics, but morphed into something with a lot more info about drum recording. We check out mics from MXL, Shure, sE, Audio Technica, Cascade and a snare drum from Sugar Percussion.

Live from Athens Greece and The Living Room Studios, in this episode I explain my golden rule about tracking with compression, and also explain recording levels when recording to digital and using passive attenuators (Such as the A Designs ATTY and the Little Labs Redcloud). But more important than all that, I am giving away free stuff! I am giving away an A Designs ATTY passive attenuator. Watch the video for details on how to win.
