The Frequency Element: Using the Equalizer
Chapter 7 The Frequency Element: Using The Equalizer Even though an engineer has every intention of making his recording sound as big and as clear as possible during tracking and overdubs, it often happens that the frequency range of some (or even all) of the tracks are somewhat limited when it comes time to mix. This can be due to the tracks being recorded in a different studio where different monitors or signal path was used, the sound of the instruments themselves, or the taste of the artist or producer. When it comes to the mix, it’s up to the mixing engineer to extend the frequency range of those tracks if it’s appropriate. In the quest to make things sound bigger, fatter, brighter, and clearer, the equalizer is the chief tool used by most mixers, but perhaps more than any other audio tool, it’s how it’s used that separates the average engineer from the master. “I tend to like things to sound sort of natural, but I don’t care what it takes to make it sound like that. Some people get a very preconceived set of notions that you can’t do this or you can’t do that, but as Bruce Swedien said to me, he doesn’t care if you have to turn the knob around backwards; if it sounds good, it is good. Assuming that you have a reference point that you can trust, of course.” —Allen Sides “I find that the more that I mix, the less I actually EQ, but I’m not afraid to bring up a Pultec and whack it up to +10 if something needs it.” —Joe Chiccarelli The Goals Of Equalization While we may not think about it when we’re doing it, there are three primary goals when equalizing: To make an instrument sound clearer and more defined. -

JIMMIE PALORANTA and IDA RENSTRÖM Bachelor of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2012 Automized Optimization of Stage Monitor Hearing Moving the monitor hearing sweet spot in real time – a solution for the moving musicians on stage? JIMMIE PALORANTA and IDA RENSTRÖM DM229X, Bachelor’s Thesis in Media Technology (15 ECTS credits) Degree Progr. in Media Technology 300 credits Royal Institute of Technology year 2012 Supervisor at CSC was Kjetil Falkenberg Hansen Examiner was Sten Ternström URL: www.csc.kth.se/utbildning/kandidatexjobb/datateknik/2012/ paloranta_jimmie_OCH_renstrom_ida_K12095.pdf Royal Institute of Technology School of Computer Science and Communication KTH CSC SE-100 44 Stockholm, Sweden URL: www.kth.se/csc Abstract A novel stage monitor hearing model has been developed to evaluate the idea of a system that moves the stage monitor hearing according to the positions of the live performing musician. The aim of the study was to answer to what extent is such a system useful during live music performances. The system model is programmed using Pure Data and adjusts the different sound mixes for each monitor on the stage so that the location of the spot of the ideal stage sound corresponds to the positions of the musicians. The positions of the musicians are obtained by using a Motion Capture camera system together with software to communicate with Pure Data. During the study interviews and user tests were performed with performing musicians and sound engineers. The results indicate that the musician’s performance is improved and previous limitations caused by a restricted monitor hearing sweet spot are reduced. -

Acoustic feed back: The sound from the loudspeakers should not reach microphone. It may result in loud howling sound. Distribution of Sound Intensity: Instead of installing one or two powerful loudspeakers near the stage alone, audio power should be divided between several loudspeakers to spread it right up to the farthest point. This covers every specified area. Reverberation (Echo): Install several small power loudspeakers at various points to get rid of problem of overlapping of sound waves in the auditorium, rather than using single power high power unit. 29/01/2019, USJ Basic Requirements of PA System: . Orientation of speakers: The loudspeakers be oriented as to direct the sound towards the audience and not towards walls. The loudspeakers should preferably be placed a meter off the floor, so that their axes are about the height of the ears of the listeners. Selection of Microphone: Microphone for PA system should be preferably cardiod type, it will prevent reflection of sound from loudspeakers. For dramas use directive microphone. -
Using the BHM Binaural Head Microphone
Application Note – 11/17 BHM Using the BHM binaural head microphone Introduction 1 Recording with a binaural head microphone 2 Equalization of a BHM recording 2 Individual equalization curves 5 Using the equalization curves 5 Post-processing in ArtemiS SUITE 6 Playback of a BHM recording 7 Application example: BHM recording in a vehicle 7 Introduction HEAD acoustics offers a range of binaural audio sensors for recording sound events in different environments in a way that allows aurally accurate playback. This means that the recordings are made in a way that ensures that they – when played back with the correct playback equalization – give a listener the same impression as if he were present in the original sound field. These binaural sensors include, for example, the artificial head HMS (HEAD Measurement System) and the Binaural Head Microphone (BHM). The BHM allows binaural recordings to be made in places where an artificial head measurement system cannot be used. This is the case, for example, with recordings to be made on the driver’s seat in a moving vehicle. Here it is impossible to use an artificial head measurement system. Instead, a binaural head microphone can be worn by the driver, which measures the sound directly at the entrance of the driver’s ear canals (see figure1). Figure 1: Using the BHM │1│ HEAD acoustics Application Note BHM Recording with a binaural head microphone A frequent application for a binaural head microphone is recording in a vehicle. In order to obtain reproducible results, the following must be observed when making recordings with the BHM: Particularly in a complex acoustic environment as is a vehicle cabin, the positioning of the microphones has a significant influence on the recording. -
“Over 40 Years of Audio Excellence”
“OVER 40 YEARS OF AUDIO EXCELLENCE” Authorized Distributors of Australia/Pacific i-Series Evolution i-Series Evolution For over forty years now Roy Clair has been designing and manufacturing loudspeaker systems, now you can own one of his systems for your venue. Roy Clair and his team are driving Clair Brothers into markets that require high performance installed sound and mobile products for venues such as theater and convention spaces where compromise is not an option. The story of Clair Brothers starts in 1954, when a grocer decided to purchase a PA system as a Christmas gift for his two sons, Gene and Roy Clair. “He had no knowledge of electronics or anything!” exclaimed Roy Clair of the extremely unusual present. “I like to think my father was ‘Clair’-voyent in choosing this as a gift.” The two brothers enjoyed using their PA to provide sound reinforcement for local dances, Easter egg hunts, etc. “The PA bug had bitten us!” In 1963, Gene and Roy had purchased a loudspeaker re-coning business from a local music store. This allowed them to acquire loudspeakers at the dealer level, granting the opportunity to build them for a local music store in Lancaster. When musicians would visit from out of town to purchase loudspeakers, such as Baltimore’s Billy Joel Royal, it allowed Roy and Gene to go hear their products in use at local clubs. F&M, a local liberal arts college in Lancaster, PA soon requested the brothers’ services to support headlining acts. Now working in a 4,000-seat facility, one of the largest in the area, the duo would see their first brush with fame in 1966 when Dionne Warwick performed at the college. -
