HOME Making-Of : Brazil

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:53:03 +0000

The world’s largest wetlands are on the borders of Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. Pantanal is unique for its biodiversity. During the 20th century, humanity drained or otherwise destroyed half the wetlands on the planet, decrying them as unhealthy and converting them into agricultural or building land. In Brazil, herders and sugar cane planters are gradually appropriating these vast wetlands. Throughout the world, the expansion of cities and farmland contradicts the aim of preserving fragile and important environments, such as forests, mangroves and wetlands.

Acoustica Micxraft is good solution. As well as microphone, Samson C03 USB condenser microphone is pretty good. These you can connect directly to computer, without using preamplifier.

Recording Studio at home?

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 01:54:56 +0000

Okay. So i’m a musician. I wanted to add a couple guitar/vocal covers. I am running off a MacBook Pro 5. So please let me know of things i may need to start building a small studio. possibly to post things on youtube. I want crisp sound as well.

The basics needed for a home studio are:
1) A mic&mic stand, and mic cable to record vocals and instruments with
2) Maybe a midi keyboard for synthesizer sounds
3) An audio interface to connect the mic(s) to your
4) Computer. Either a laptop or a desktop.
5) Software to capture (record) and mix the sound
6) Good speakers and or headphones to listen to you masterpieces
There is a wide range of quality of all of the above. Microphones can cost less than $100 to $15,000 for a professional tube mic. (A Shure SM58 is a good inexpensive vocal mic. And the Audio-Technica AT4040 is really good @ $300) The same price range is true with the interfaces, which converts the sound of the mic to digital information which gets recorded onto your hard drive. To get started, Digidesign, the makers of Pro Tools, offers a few choices like the Mbox (it comes with an interface and the software) and the M-Audio software (which is pro tools software that can use most manufacturers interfaces). There are many others that can be found on retailer’s websites, like sweetwater.com or musicians friend. Audacity is free recording and editing software. An extra might be a mixing board to use in between the mic and the interface, so you can adjust the sound of the mic a bit before recording it. Add extra mics/cables if you are going to record more than one instrument/voice at the same time.

how do get a recording studio at home? and how to use it?

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 06:00:04 +0000

im a musician. and ive been wanting to record for a while now. i just wanted to know how do i get a recording studio in my house? and how do i learn how to use it? i probably sound stupid right now but whatever, i just want to record the songs that i write, haha.

first. if you have a mac, you probably have garageband. with this, all you need is a USB mic and you are ready to record. assuming you only want to record vocals, or record an amp or speaker of something. if you don’t have garageband, you can still download audacity for free online and get a USB mic and you could go that way. i really like garageband, i use it myself. as far as audacity, i am unfamiliar with it. in my opinion, if it is free it’s probably not the best. but i’ve seen a lot of people that do use it, so it has to be worth something.

i think your better option (though a bit more expensive) is to get an recording interface. what this does is connect your instruments to your computer via USB or firewire. the interface will also include recording software for you to use to record and mix. you can get small 1 or 2 input interfaces for $100 or less. the quality probably wont be as good as the high end models, but this will get you started and let you get a feel for recording. the interfaces will rise in price as the brand name changes and as the number of inputs change. the inputs refer to how many tracks you will be able to record at once. i have an mbox 2 mini. this comes with two inputs. 1 mic/inst and 1 inst. so with this i can plug in an XLR mic, and a guitar, and record myself. or i could take a stereo output of my turntables (1 input would be left and the other right). for simple recording this will work for you. you say you want to record yourself so i would assume this will work for you and you wouldn’t need anything bigger. if you are playing with a band then you may find you want to more channels in order to record everything at once. for this you may find an 8 input interface would suit you better. this way you can have an input for vocals, 2-4 for guitars, 2 for bass, and keyboard or something. i would say drums, but i prefer having at least 8 for the drums anyway. but with home recording that all changes. the point is, if you are going to do a lot of multi-tracking (recording more than one track at a time ie guitar, bass, and vocals) than you will want to add inputs as you see fit. that being said, you can break everything down and record them individually then mix them together. you may want to record a drum track for timing, then record the guitar track, then lay vocals on top of it. you can do this with a small interface. it depends on what you want to do.

as far as learning to use it, it’s pretty simple. if you can play a cd player, you shouldn’t really have much of a problem with the basic recording. you would set up a track press record and play. in a recording studio you are used to seeing the huge mixing board with 100+ channels. well, in a home studio that is done in your computer. you will just click on the track and adjust the levels that way. at first while you are learning you probably wont bother much with EQ or processing or anything. but as you get used to things you can build your knowledge. you can do a search on the web for EQ setting advice and how you should compress things and whatnot if you want some more professional sounding recordings. but getting started, it isn’t really needed. each piece of recording software will be different. i use protools which is industry standard for recording. i was trained on it so i am comfortable. but there are still some small settings and things here and there that are confusing, but you will find that with everything. i’m sure there will be help gudes or even a booklet inside that will get you started.

This video shows how to build a trap using only what is found in the forest and a bit of string. Perhaps in a later video I will show how to make string/rope out of forest materials.

For now, enjoy. More videos are coming.
