The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the world of music composition will revolutionize the way music is composed and experienced. The ability of artificial intelligence to create structured and complex works that resemble those created by humans is both

Proper mixing of bass tracks is essential for achieving dynamic and harmonious musical foundations. Since bass sounds have the largest amplitude in most music, these sounds significantly influence the vibration of other sounds. For bass, you should pay attention to the following:

With the compressor, we can control the dynamic range of the sound. It is possible to produce a result with it similar to a limiter or maximizer, meaning we can increase the volume, but it will hold back the excessively strong amplitude values. In some

The creation of a proper vocal recording depends on many factors. This article aims to help those who are new to this topic. One important factor is choosing the right studio microphone. If we only sing as a hobby,

In a movie, every sound track plays an important role. Obviously, the dialogue stands out among the other sounds. The dialogue conveys information, and the actor's emphasis determines the basic mood. Without a practical example, it is quite difficult to convey what to pay attention to, but I'll try.

After much deliberation, I finally convinced myself to replace my trusty old Audio-Technica AT2020 microphone with a better one. Although the AT2020 is not a bad microphone, I felt the need for a change. I chose the Lewitt LCT 440 and I don't regret it.

If we want to edit music, record sound, or perhaps expand our existing capabilities with more professional tools, a suitable sound card, or audio interface, can come in handy. But choosing can be difficult, as there are many manufacturers offering such devices. How can

It may seem like a boring topic to talk about the world of music plugins, but it's actually quite interesting. In the past, in the world of analog equipment, an effect could only be hardware. However, with the development of computer technology, software appeared that performed the tasks of hardware more cheaply and conveniently. In the early

Voice cloning is a technology that creates digitally-generated voices resembling real human voices, using artificial intelligence. The basics of this technology are not new, as simpler versions have been used in route planning applications or older text-to-speech solutions. With

Solutions applied to pop music are not feasible for orchestral works. More precisely, they are feasible, but not everyone uses them because they are largely unnecessary. The much bigger task falls on the mixing engineer, who, if they have done their job well, will require only minimal intervention in the mastering process. Among other

Perhaps it goes without saying how special the science of mastering seems to an untrained eye. In this article, I couldn't explain how complex and yet sometimes how simple this process actually is. The inspiration for this article came from my recent exchanges with many "professionals" who have spent the past decades in a bubble. That is

This article discusses active studio monitors. More detailed and complex information can be found in my mastering book. A studio monitor is a very important tool for mixing and mastering. The difference between a traditional loudspeaker and a studio monitor is no longer negligible. If you have

People often desire the best but are constrained by their budget. When searching for a top-notch studio monitor, the hunt for an affordable option begins. A good monitor should have adequate frequency response, transient response, spatial imaging, low resonance, and off-axis performance. The process of finding the perfect monitor can be daunting, but it's essential

Reverb is a versatile tool that can be used for simulating room acoustics, creating a sense of space, and softening the sound of a track. While it is relatively easy to use, there are some basic rules to follow in order to perfect the results. One important consideration when using reverb is the algorithm used for the decay. Many reverbs will

Older readers may have already heard of the Yamaha NS-10 passive speakers. We're talking about a speaker system found in countless studios, whose main virtue isn't its linearity. Over the years, many imitations have emerged, but experience shows that none come close to Yamaha's

To adjust the tone of your voice, you can make use of an equalizer. With parametric equalizers, all adjustment values can be set while changing frequencies. By tampering with the gain, frequency range, and the range of change, you can increase or reduce the volume of a specific frequency range that needs intervention. For drums, it's crucial

Just raising the question suggests that there are issues at the company. Dark clouds are visible, which could dissipate or turn into a larger storm. From a user's perspective, there is a significant problem. To explain the issue, we need to go back a few decades.

If you're interested in making electronic music, you'll need more than just a computer. Here's a basic list of software and equipment you should consider getting: First up is a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), which is the primary software for producing electronic music. With a DAW, you'll be
