New way to practice, Binary Recording Studio

 Its hard to believe but true, the music goes on!  This is a high school band rehearsal in Washington state.  I wonder how it sounds!

Audio Editing made Easy

Are you thinking about doing a podcast or adding a voice introduction on your website?  Mabey adding some narration to your iBook publishing?  I get ask often about how can I do some basic audio editing of some content that I have.  There is a free download audio editor called "Audacity" that might be your ticket to easy editing.

Its not how big it is that matters!

I  am fascinated by the use of  low cost tools to make engaging films.  A mentor of mine in the field of audio who had recorded some of the top musicians of the 70's and 80's told me "  its not the tools we use that make a hit record, they often get in the way of the process."  Of course this didn't make any sense to me at the time because the big recording studio was the way to make a hit song in my mind.

I have been on many big recording studio projects and film shoots over the years using some of the top cutting edge equipment etc......  What I have been seeing lately is some amazing things done with some simple tools that lighten the load and seem to provide more freedom to the recording engineer or film maker.
They say that when technology provides the tools of creation that are cheap enough for everyone the real artist will emerge?

With the venues that the internet platform has giving us for sharing our art, there has never been a better time as a artist to get out there and make it happen!

Multi Track Field Recorder, 6 channels and stereo track

We often record multi tracks in the field for film or live music performance. One of my favorite recorders right now is the Tascam DR680. Great price at about $690 dollars.

What I like about this tool is that I can mix levels right on the unit without having a mixer on the job. I also am impressed with the signal to noise ratio, with mic pre’s set right you can get a real clean recording. 

I use a 32 gig flash card and never have had to change it out durning a recording.  It will record 6 tracks,a stereo track,  and up to 24k / 96 kHz.  Six of the inputs have phantom power.  The phantom power is in pairs which can be a bummer sometimes.  You can run it on batteries or AC.  It will eat up batteries if your running full on with phantom power on every channel.

There are plenty of spec’s you can look up, but what you really want is to talk to someone who has used it. To really see how the unit performs,  you need to put it to the test on different recording jobs and bring the tracks back into the studio control room to really listen critically.  

I have, and will give this the Binary Studio seal of approval, we have used it on many situations and will be using it in the future.  For the price I think its pretty cool.
