Do You Need a Compressor for Your Home Studio?

Image
The first thing you need is a proper understanding of compression before you go out and buy one. The confusion happens in the compression itself, which comes from its opposite process: expansion. It makes perfect sense when you think about it. If your goal is to reduce the dynamic range of your sound, perhaps to make it "sound" more even, wouldn't that make your loud moments louder still? And then, if you do have a quieter section, it would be a few steps further down the road from where it should be. In some cases, it's an okay aim but not very practical for most applications such as vocal recording. Too much dynamic range (no compression): Vocals will sound very thin. They will get buried in the mix by louder instrumentation and obnoxiously stick out during quieter instrumentation. Vocals won't sit well in the mix. They will sound amateurish, and your mix will have poor balance. Lack of compression will also result in a quieter overall sound, as an uncompressed ...

What Is A Condenser Microphone And How It Works?

However, there are instances when these characteristics are valuable to everyday consumers. For example, most prefer not to blast their music via earbuds or a pair of speakers - but would rather keep things at lower volume levels, a job more easily accomplished by using this type of microphone!   How Does a Condenser Microphone Work? Condenser mics are specialized capacitors designed to store energy in an electric field temporarily. Capacitors work by using two plates near one another, forming a perfect environment for all electricity to pass through. The greater the dist...
