The nature of sound is something very fascinating. Back in the early days a speaker was an invention in this day and age its just a thing we use to play music. If you ever spent time around speakers especially big ones you have obviously come across a speaker vibrating when music plays through it. […]

If you’re an active participant in the music/audio production game, I’m sure you have come across the term “tube” before. It is a widely used term and a common one at that. In this post I’ll discuss how tubes are able to amplify sound because this is a question that I’ve gotten alot from people […]

There are different types of noise in audio production and audiophiles pride themselves in dealing with noise as surgically as possible. For example harmonic Distortion( usually called warmth) produced by tube amps is one of the more preffered types of Distortion. Most people reading this may think that noise is something to be completely avoided […]

When it comes to tube amps, you have to know how to use them well or you won’t get the most out of them. They use complicated circuitry which is one of the reasons why their output can’t be easily mimicked by other machines. Anyone that has ever bought a tube amplifier knows that they […]

To put it simply, an accelerometer is an electromechanical device that measures, the change in velocity or the force of acceleration caused by static forces like gravity or movement over time. Accelerometers basically have a myriad of applications and it they are quite a sophisticated piece of technology. One of the questions I came across […]

Microphones are essential pieces of gear that are heavily relied upon in various industries which rely on the transmission, broadcast and production of audio. This post will discuss whether it is possible to use an accelerometer as a microphone. But before I walk you through this let’s get a working idea what an accelerometer does. […]

Decibels or dB for short are something that you’ve probably come across. By definition, a decibel (dB) is simply a unit that is used to measure the strength of a sound or the power level of an electrical signal by comparing it with a given level on a logarithmic scale. One question that I usually […]

In audio production today, we are more privileged than ever because technology that was built years ago to facilitate this industry has become more and more advanced. This allows us to explore new realms of creativity as well as be able to enjoy better hardware and software. This post will discuss a very specific technology […]

When shopping for equipment a lot of questions arise especially when you contrast and compare different equipment based on price. One of the popular questions I get from a number of music producers especially those are quite new to the production is “are digital pianos expensive?” The truth is, yes, digital pianos are expensive and […]

When it comes to inputs, particularly those that are needed to operate equipment like microphones. It is always important to have enough information so you can make your equipment usable with your inputs. This post will address microphones and Auxiliary or Aux inputs because this is a common topic among new  audio engineers and technicians. […]
