Perhaps one of the trickiest parts about simulating a real instrument in a digital context is the development of high-quality sound settings and of course, a great emulation of the interpretation as well. It is true that when it comes to Rock music (especially heavy music styles), the dynamics of the songs tend to be […]

By Cesar Arevalo | Audio Specialist. Perhaps one of the most difficult moments when facing “digital-based mastering” * is when we try to obtain optimum gain results in our final audio processing stage. This lack of gain can be caused by different reasons such as having low-quality recordings, lacking an optimum pre-amplification stage, or failing

A couple of years ago, during the development of my degree project. I decided to begin the ambitious task of developing audio software to simulate the behavior of a binaural head. For this purpose, I work along with my colleague and friend Teo Rodriguez, and as soon as the project started we faced several setbacks.

By Cesar Arevalo | Audio Specialist. Guitar amplifier simulators have been improving during the last couple of years. Right now we are able to use impressive tools like the BIAS Amp designer by positive grid or the circuit customizable Revalver by Peavey. While the first one gives you the freedom to customize your sound through

By Cesar Arevalo | Audio Specialist. After spending three years recording acoustic ensembles, orchestras, and chamber groups, among others. I developed an interest in some of the features of DPA microphones, especially their remarkable high gain and wide signal-to-noise ratio. Their balanced frequency response is one of the features I like about these microphones but
