With their history and pedigree, tube microphones have built a reputation for being the delicate, rare, and expensive stuff only the wealthy or most prestigious of recording studios can afford to have in their arsenal. While that was true in the past (and still is for some tube mics), many audio equipment manufacturers are cloning vintage microphone architecture or producing their own designs that are affordable enough to be

Realistic artificial reverbs and other time-based processors are commonplace in today’s music technology, so it’s easy to overlook how much of a technical marvel it was when reverberation could be divorced from the physical location of a performance, and how quickly it transformed recorded music. From Bill Putnam’s reamping technique using physical echo chambers, to the Brobdingnagian 600-pound EMT plate reverb machine, to the complex digital convolution and algorithmic reverbs we have today, artificial reverbs have been sculpting the sonic

Reverb gives sound verisimilitude. Think of it as the persistence of sound after it is produced—a phenomenon of multiple clashing and diverging sonic reflections whose characteristics are defined by the surfaces and materials they contact. It reveals the nature of a physical space in infinitesimal detail.
Reverb defines the tangible nature of space and our place within it—something that sighted and hearing humans often take for granted. You can infer a ton of knowledge about an environment simply by listening to what it sounds like.

In the business of producing music, podcasts, or live performances, one of the most overlooked tools is the humble mic stand. The stand may not steal the show, but it does have the important role of acting as a conduit between the performer and the audience. So, whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, a well-built and versatile mic stand is a key accoutrement to any audio/visual setup. In this guide, we'll cover some great options we have from Auray* as well as other manufacturers so you can walk away knowing exactly what you need to look

Mixing audio is not an exact science—there are many ways to achieve similar results, and what works for one project may not for another. In my ten-plus years of mixing, I’ve had the privilege and opportunity to learn both common and lesser-known techniques from some of the best engineers in the world, as well as the time and practice to discover my own tricks and techniques through experimentation and a few happy accidents. We don’t gatekeep at B&H—here are ten helpful techniques you can use to bring the best out of your mix.

Recording is much more of an art than a science, and every recording engineer has their preferences and techniques to achieve the sound they’re aiming for. With the current accessibility of recording technology, people have created incredible, high-fidelity productions despite limited budgets and unlikely recording environments—all they needed was some knowledge, a good idea, and the passion to experiment and explore different methods. In this guide, we will explore different established recording techniques that will give you solid knowledge

When recording, mixing, or mastering, it’s critical to refer to meters to ensure the project is properly balanced and leveled but the nature of metering can be difficult to parse. The philosophy and mathematics of different methods of metering can produce vastly different results even when analyzing the same exact audio signal. Understanding how metering works and how to use it is key for creating professional sounding music.
In this guide, we discuss the basics of metering, the science and philosophy behind the different methods, and

Audio engineering is something of an arcane science. Unlike the more tangible fields of engineering, the success of an audio engineer—outside of material wealth—is subjective. When it comes to the work of an engineer, a collapsing bridge is a lot more palpable than a bad mix.
This subjectivity has led to the dissemination of some fantastical claims that defy the laws of physics, acoustics, and mathematics! We can measure nearly every aspect of audio in a tangible way—mathematician Joseph Fourier has proven that all sound can be recreated by or
