Recording Analysis:
(A guide on how to use Studio 1).
Studio Equipment and their specifications:
Here is a diagram to show how the studio equipment is set up:
A77X
A77X
The Adam A77X speaker above is a horizontally designed monitor that combines all of the technical
innovations in the AX series. Due to the powerful compression-free sound reproduction and excellent
radiation and this means that it is suitable for nearfield and midfield monitoring.
Plus, this Adam speaker has a harmonic distortion of 0.5%. This means that the ratio of the sums power is
all of the harmonic components to the power of the frequency. This frequency is fundamental!
Despite its compact housing the bass response is powerful and precise. (The amplifier = 50 watt A/B drives
the tweeter).
Plus, it has a bass/mid-woofer that has a 100 watt PWM amplifier. It has two woofers between 38 and 400
Hz which start to work together and then one fades out and reduces the interference and phase
cancellation in critical midrange (this is where humans hearing is most sensitive).
They have a width of 53cm and a depth of 28 cm. Also they have a height of 23.5 cm and a weight of
12.8kg.
The type detail is: 2.5-way active.
This speaker has a nominal (RMS) output Power of 250 Watt and a frequency response between 38 and
50000 Hz (the crossover frequency is 3000 Hz, 400 Hz). This is quite powerful because it can produce a lot
of sound and there is two speakers in one.
The controls of this speaker is input sensitivity, treble and bass.
The Adam A77X speaker has a 5 years warranty.
The KRK ROKIT 5 G3 speaker above is powered by studio monitors that offer professional performance and accuracy for recording, mixing,
mastering and playback. This offers a large headroom and a low distortion.
The proprietary bi-amped, class A/B amplifier grants SPL up to 106Db (this also offers a large headroom and a low distortion).
The speakers have 1 soft dome tweeter and 5 glass-aramid composite woofer.
Dimensions: (D x W x H) 9.06" (230mm) x 7.28" (185mm) x 11.10" (282mm). Its weight is 14.1 lbs (6.4 kg). For its size it is very powerful and
the sound is clear and tight.
KRK ROKIT 5 G3 speakers are active!
It delivers high frequencies up to 35 kHz, vocal clarity and extended bass response. The lows are very smooth and accurate and the mid-range
and highs are nicely replicated.
KRKs have a frequency scoop. This means that there are no middle frequencies.
The adjustability of frequencies means that they are easy to tune to your own preferences.
There are three input knob adjustments and there is also a choice of input connections on the back. (See the image above).
They have a 5 years warranty.
Above is the Universal Audio Apollo, which has 8 inputs; 4 microphones and 4 instruments.
(Apollo fire wire is audio interfaces that deliver sound, feeling and flow of an analogue recording).
4 unison-enabled mic preamps for tracking through preamp emulations.
More information on the Universal Audio Apollo:
The Universal Audio Apollo has a class-leading quality of sound. This means that it is great for superior
recordings.
It also has a realtime UAD Processor. This processing is for authentic analog tones.
Plus it has a high-speed of 16 x 20 Thunderbolt 2 interface/connectivity. (This is is for Mac).
Furthermore it has 8 mic preamps emulations that are powered by Unison Technology.
Moreover it is the next generation Apollo A/D and D/A conversion.
Finally there is an onboard UAD-2 QUAD Core Processor which has 6 UAD devices that total over the
Thunderbolt. (This is for Mac).
Conclusion:
I found this task quite challenging. However, after a while I got the hang of it and I was able
to do a successful multi-track recording. I enjoyed every minute of this task. I learnt a lot
from this task, for example, how to use the universal audio apollo and what microphones go
where on a drum kit. By learning these new skills I feel confident for the next multi-track
recording that I create. As well as enjoying the recording side of the project. I also enjoyed
the mixing side of it. To create the mix I used the knowledge that I already knew to make my
mix professional. To see how I did the mixes see the next my analysis called: Mixing Analysis.
