Let’s learn how to get your vocals to sound big, present, and in-your-face: whether you’re working with a great recording or not. Regardless of the genre, learn to make them sound huge!
First, start at the source. Starting with a very full capture makes this process infinitely easier. It’s possible to get away with cutting corners along any stretch of a production. However, the one place I would not want to do this is vocals. If you don’t have a ninja-warrior home setup, it may be worth renting out a great studio even if just for the vocals alone.

10 Tips On Recording Guitars
Are you trying to get the perfect guitar tone? Wonder if you should use more than one mic? And how will the state of your strings affect the sound? You’d better read on for our top ten tips to a top guitar tone.
First, check the strings, cables, and noise. Before you press record, make sure your setup is ready to go. Check your cables and other equipment to make sure nothing is producing crackles and hums. You can reduce noise with plug-ins later, but the better the quality of your signal to start with, the better your end results.

How To Import And Stretch Audio Files In PreSonus Studio One 4
Studio One 4 is the latest and greatest incarnation of Presonus’ powerful DAW – a whole production environment for making music. And at the heart of making music is working with digital audio.
There are several methods you can use to import audio. The first is to just drag and drop them from a Finder window directly into the work area of Studio One. Another option is to use the DAW’s built-in Browser to access the dedicated Loops tab. From there you can audition loops, drag and drop them in with tempo auto adjustment if required, and edit.

USB In Audio: Explained
We’ve received a few questions asking us why we chose to use USB2.0 when designing our interfaces rather than USB3.0 or even Thunderbolt. So we thought we’d explain why in this quick and easy to follow article.
When designing the iD interface range we wanted it to be compatible with as many systems as possible. USB 2.0 was chosen as it is currently the most prolific port on computers. It is true that USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt offer higher bandwidths but our interfaces simply don’t need the additional bandwidth that these connections offer.

Tempo Sync All Your Audio In Logic Pro X
Dragging loops and audio recordings into Logic Pro that sync to your project’s tempo has always had limitations. You could always place the WAV loop at the start of a bar in Logic, then option-click-drag the bottom right to the correct bar length.
There’s always been Flex Mode too. However, anything other than very punchy drum loops and musical parts would often not lock up perfectly. Using Logic 10.4’s new “Smart Tempo” feature when dragging in loops and audio recordings of any length, you can almost always be sure it’ll snap to the bars and beats of your Logic project.
