Get three coffins ready
" Get three coffins ready " says the man with no name to the undertaker.
I love shootouts, not only movie shootouts, but also the audio variety. They're also a bit less dangerous.
This week we grabbed a few spare minutes in amongst our real work and our good friend Lyn Goddard demoed some mics.
Three large diaphragm condenser mics were used to record a female vocal. A Neumann U87, a SE Gemini and a Telefunken AK47 were recorded using a Chandler TG2 pre amp and Lucid AD conversion to Logic Pro. The gains were matched more accurately using Sonalksis's FreeG plug-in. Two mics were recorded simultaneously so you can here the same take on two mics. This was repeated three times in a round robin format to allow accurate comparison.
You can find the shootout here and a little more information on our shootout philosophy here.
Thanks to Lyn for supplying the talent and the song.

The start of beautiful friendship
I hope that this is the start of beautiful friendship.
We're kicking off with a series of Screencasts showing you how to build a drum kit with Logic's Exs24 sampler. Although the Exs24 comes with thousands of preset instruments more is always better. There's a vast number of free and commercial samples available. You can find them by searching the net but what do you do when you've got them ? In this four part tutorial we show you how to assemble your own drum kit from raw samples.
You can find them here building a drumkit with Logic's Exs24.
We've also got a simple tutorial showing how to customise Logic's arrange page to suit your workflow.
Hopefully these are the first of many. We hope you find them useful.
