This 4-part video series from Recording Magazine demonstrates mic placement, types, proximity effect, reamping, and much more. Awesome videos, the only complaint is that the high-gain tone they got was absolute crap.

“A film about Hope, Fear and Digital culture”.

I checked out this film last weekend after seeing an enthusiastic post about it on a forum. ”Every 21st Century artist must watch this” he said, and so I did.

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent in an unprecedented way, with unlimited opportunities. But does democratized culture mean better art or is true talent instead drowned out? This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s most influential creators of the digital era.

Upon reaching the PressPausePlay website I was surprised to see I could download the film for free in very good quality, via torrent. A very efficient way of delivering the content. This is a film that SHOULD be shared, I thoroughly enjoyed it and want everyone to see it. To me, this is a 5/5 star documentary. The visuals, audio and content were excellent. This is a film I found so inspiring, I’m going to watch again and take notes, then I’m going to make some noise.

In Flames in the studio 2011

Jon — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 20:36:44 +0000

In Flames is a great metal band from Sweden. On their YouTube channel they’ve posted 6 short documentaries on the progress of their 6th studio album. There’s not a lot of techniques to see but there is some discussion of the production and lots of nice gear to see and hear.
