Synthesist Hainbach -In his latest video – shares his top 5 microphones for studio and location recording.
Video Summary:
“Over the 30 years I have been into recording sound I have assembled a small but varied locker of microphones. I always tried to balance utility and price, so I can record anything in a “good enough” way without overspending. In this video share my top 5 microphones for studio and location recording with you. There are vintage classics here by AKG, Neumann and Sennheiser, but also usual and even new mics. I also talk about some very special mics even the die-hard mic-heads among you might not know.
My hope is that this will be an inspiration when you choose which mics to add to your collection.”
Waves free Silk Vocal plugin promises to solve your vocal mixing problems at a stroke, but you’ll need to move fast if you want to get it for free.
Waves Audio’s free Black Friday plugin is here, and if you want to speed up your vocal mixing, you need to make sure that you don’t miss out on downloading it. And while you’re there, be sure to check out all of this year’s Waves Black Friday deals.
Silk Vocal is a ‘smart’ EQ and dynamics processor that’s designed to take your vocals “from raw to pro” in no time at all, and without the need for any other plugins. It promises to automatically detect resonances across 2,000 analysis bands, and then decide when and where its processing should be applied.
Waves Silk Vocal: Free for Black Friday Only!
This year’s Waves Black Friday freebie is a must for anyone who wants a fast route to vocal perfection. It’s a smart EQ and dynamics processor that will regularly retail for $79, but is free for this weekend only.
It’s not a completely automated process, though, as you have control over the amount of processing. The Low, Mid and High knobs are designed to remove boominess, harshness and sibilance respectively, and there are dedicated male/female voice modes. The single Dynamics control, meanwhile, enables you to ramp up the amount of “musical” compression.
Other features include Auto Makeup Gain, a high-pass filter, a Speed control to adjust the envelope of the smart EQ processing, a Precision knob for adjusting the sharpness of the Q in each of the processing bands, a Gate and a Mix knob.
As a further bonus, the free download also includes a license for Silk Vocal Live, a realtime version of the plugin that’s designed for – you guessed it – live use.
Regularly retailing for $79, you can download Silk Vocal for free, but only over the Black Friday weekend. It runs on PC and Mac in VST/AU/AAX formats. Make sure you don’t miss out on the other great Waves Black Friday plugin deals.
