Michael Wagener in the Studio Part 6 Video Clips. Duration : 9.97 Mins.

Michael Wagener has produced and engineered recordings that have sold over 90 million copies worldwide. Renowned in the industry for big, heavy guitar sounds, Michael's impressive list of credits include Mötley Crüe, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Janet Jackson, Kings X, Dokken, Skid Row, and many more. Bonus Tech Tip from Michael Wagener As part of his recording process, Michael uses a technique he refers to as "Real-amping." In his own words, "What I do is, record the guitar with an amp sound and also as a DI track, using the Creation Audio Labs MW-1 ( ow.ly ). Then later, if I decide I want a bit more or less distortion, or want to add another amp tone, I use the MW-1 to send the DI signal back out into an amp. Sometimes it's easier to decide on the final amp sound when there are already a lot of the other instruments recorded. Works also very well when you want to add different sounds to a track." Michael's guitar amps of choice include the Randall modular series and Industrial Amps Rock 120, though lately Michael has become a big fan of Egnater amps (Link: ow.ly ), " . . . those are my newest find, love them." The Randall setup that Michael has been using as his primary tone factory with artists such as Kings X, comprises Randall two RT2-50 stereo tube power amps (ow.ly ) and two Randall RM4 preamp chassis (ow.ly ) (with one connected through the effects loop of the other). In one RM4, he Randall modular preamps he uses are the XTC Bogner (ow.ly ) (his favorite among the ...

KRK VXT Active Studio Monitors Review @ Nevada Music UK

KRK VXT Active Studio Monitors Review @ Nevada Music UK Video Clips. Duration : 6.90 Mins.

Here.. www.nevadamusic.co.uk The KRK VXT range is a slightly upmarket studio monitor from the RP Rokit series and is aimed at the more discerning home/project studio owner, the VXT 6 is the mid sized monitor in the range and is a seriously good studio monitor that has been designed and crafted with care, it uses the very best base materials to produce professional level results albeit perhaps in smaller style control/mixing environments ... The VXT 6 deploys custom-designed drivers in a curved housing, in order to reduce diffraction and cabinet resonance, however rather than using wood or cast metal, the KRK cabinets are made from ABS structural foam, which is both strong and well-damped. The moulding process means that parallel walls can be eliminated, which reduces the build-up of internal standing waves at specific frequencies. Omni-mount points are fitted to the cabinets for fixed installation purposes and the metal rear panel doubles as a heat sink whilst mains power comes in on a conventional IEC socket - a kettle plug to you and I, with a power switch located on the back of the monitor. The VXT6 is a ported, active, two-way design, combining a one-inch, silk-domed tweeter with a six-inch bright yellow woven Kevlar-cone bass and mid driver, both of which are fitted to a metal baffle and are flush with the front of the cabinet. The audio signal comes in on either a balanced jack or an XLR via a Neutrik Combi socket, wired to the usual convention (pin 2 hot), though ...

KRK Rokit Active Studio Monitors Review @ Nevada Music UK

KRK Rokit Active Studio Monitors Review @ Nevada Music UK Tube. Duration : 4.20 Mins.

Here... www.nevadamusic.co.uk It's now perfectly possible to get some really great sounding studio monitors for an affordable amount of money, take for example the KRK RP6 (Rokkit Powered) two way active studio monitors depicted here ... KRK have a very credible reputation as the manufacturers of accurate yet excellent sounding studio monitors, their speakers are used by the good and the great and if you'd care to check via the World Wide Web you'll find KRK monitors in some of the very best recording studios on the planet ... However, let me say at this point that accurate studio monitors are incapable of lying, so if the sound is poor when being recorded it will still be poor when played back through some otherwise commendable studio monitors such as the KRK RP6's. None the less, assuming that you have good quality throughout your audio chain the RP6's will give you totally accurate results and thereby help you with the task of mixing. For me their greatest detail is in the mid-range as I personally beleive if you can get the mid-range frequencies right in a mix then you're half way to a successful mix completion. The mid-range on the RP6 model is open and airy with well defined character, there's no cloudyness or muddy mid-range here and that in turn seems to tighten the bottom end and compartmentalise the frequencies, for although this is only a 6 " speaker it still provides a big sound with a decent amount of bottom end. This is probably due to the aforementioned 6 ...
