Pharrell Williams has worked with Recording Connection audio engineers and music producers in their Austin, TX, Atlanta, GA, and Las Vegas, NV, studios. Capitol Studios is a landmark building with a landmark history, and one of the oldest operating and original recording studios in Los Angeles. Henson Studios has a swollen belly full of vintage treasures and is bursting at the seams with outboard gear, microphones, and huge arrays of monitors, speakers, and instruments. East-West is a studio with a huge amount of history and is one of the oldest operating recording studios in LA. Westlake has 7 recording rooms, four being full-size live rooms, two being production rooms, and one singular mixing suite.

For example, alternating ½-inch drywall on one side and ⅝-inch on the other will ensure that the resonant frequencies aren’t the same.
Reducing reflections creates better vocal recordings.
For vocals though, the NT1 has less of an 8k boost which makes vocal ‘S’ sounds less of a problem. This was my go to mic for years because it works on most voices. Since the price is similar to the Slate ML-1, it’s no longer my top suggestion as I feel like the ease of changing mic emulations on the Slate is better for home studio guys.
Eight home interiors where mezzanines maximise usable space
Many people in the US live in apartments and don’t have the luxury of having a basement. In fact, there are no basements in California where many artists move to due to earthquakes. I’m going to mention one other technique because if I don’t I know some smartass probably will.

The Doepfer Dark Time and MS-20 combo makes me want to lock the door and pull up a chair immediately. That way it splits everything over the mixer/control surface. Some things I like to play at the same time like all the drums or kick and snare for example but then I duplicate the tracks and have just one element on each track so I can mix it. The Maschine and MPC software doesn’t support any 3rd party control surfaces at all. You can only use their Pad Controller hardware to control the plugins and mixer instead of professional studio mixer control surfaces.
The red and black panel absorbers + bass trap combo are killer, and their arrangement makes this studio setup pop. In this post, we cover 7 studio setups that in our opinion, have completely nailed their interior design to create a space that is just begging to be worked in. This is the wanted direct energy, the straight-line energy from your speakers versus the reflected energy from the room. The straight-line energy from your speakers to your ears has the least amount of room distortion (reflections).
Vocal Booth
These are best for large rooms given their larger size of 10″. Personally, I think they’re not very accurate and the most hyped monitors on the list and are a better choice for production rather than for both electronic music production and mixing. They are again most popular because of their price.
Stories from successful music recording and audio engineering students and mentors.
It lacks input and output transformers but if you’re using the Slate ML-1 mic, it is a good choice since it’s cheap the the software modeling is based on it. The Adam A7s and A7Xs are very neural and that means making a mix sound good on them is more effort than a lot of cheaper monitors. You’ll notice the room has a lot of acoustic issues we talked about earlier which is causing a slight low mid boost in the vocals which the real Sony seems to pick up slightly more than the Slate mic does. Other than that though, the video does a good job comparing the two mics. At the time it came out, it was the only budget interface that wasn’t total garbage. However, it’s just not anywhere near the level of quality of the SSL2 and SSL2+ as the SSL2 and SSL2+ have great preamps but the Focusrite has poor to mediocre preamps.

With some basic woodworking skills, you can probably make something better than you can buy. Doing all off that was actually harder than making my own acoustic panels lol. In an apartment, you probably don’t want to loose your security deposit. Using a couple of nails or screws is not enough to support the weight of an acoustic panel (unless you hit a stud).
It doesn’t have talkback and is missing some monitor speaker control but it has a volume knob and two headphone sends instead of just one on the Apollo. The audio interface converts all incoming data from microphones and connected audio devices to data. This is known as Analogue to Digital conversion or A/D for short. Your interface then converts that data to audio you can hear by the digital to audio converter inside your interface.
To hear accurately what’s going on in your recording, you’re going to need a really nice pair of studio monitor speakers. If you’re recording drums and live musicians, all of these desktop interfaces won’t give you enough inputs. Cheap studio monitor controllers with Talkback color the sound going to the monitor speakers even when you’re not using the Talkback mic.
