Home Sound System: 4 Features To Look For When In The Market Posted: 14 Jan 2019 08:04 AM PST A sound system can be an investment when it comes to creating a theater environment for your home. There are lots of features that can make the buying process more complicated. Here are some of the features that you should look for when you’re in the market for one. Wireless SpeakersHaving wireless speakers makes it easier for you to create the surround sound effect. You don’t want to have to worry about where you’re going to place the wires and how to get it plugged into the system. Another great feature of being wireless is that you can add additional speakers in the future without having to rethink your layout. This will make it more adaptable for your changing needs of home entertainment. Input and Output CapabilitiesMost sound systems have inputs and outputs that are HDMI in nature. Some systems contain more HDMI connections than others. Your first step will be determining the number of devices that you want to plug into your sound system. This can be a limiting factor for some systems if you have a large number of devices that you want to utilize. For example, your Blu-Ray player and each of your game consoles will require their own connection in order to be able to communicate with your system. Ease of InstallationThere are lots of sound systems on the market. One of the features that you should consider when using a home sound system is the ease of installation. You don’t want to have to spend hours trying to get it setup so that you can use it. Some of the better models are simply the plug and play variety. This eliminates the task of you having to waste hours trying to get everything to communicate with each other. Quality ConsiderationsAnother feature that you might want to consider is the ability of you to upgrade your sound system in the future. The ability to download software updates can help you with this task. You also might want to look for a sound system that has the latest technology capability installed. For example, the ability to play 4K DVDs could help you with some of your technology needs. Another thing to consider is the quality of the sound that the unit can produce. This will vary widely from brand to brand. Decide what’s important to you in a sound system so that you can make the best purchase. Use these tips when you’re shopping around for some of the more basic features that can differentiate the brands available. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Innovative Music Companies To Watch As A Musician In 2019 Posted: 14 Jan 2019 02:00 AM PST As a music producer or audio engineer, you probably work with lots of software and most of the times additional hardware. In both cases software and hardware, you should find the most innovative companies to get accesses to the newest sounds end techniques. Okay, a lot happens in the box nowadays, but also in your own DAW, there are great innovations going on. New sounds and techniques will help you to be unique and get the best quality and workflow that fits your way of working. Through all the madness on the internet, it’s hard to filter the good things from the bad stuff. It’s not about just a normal audio interface and studio monitors anymore, companies go way further. In this article, we want to show some great companies to dive in too, hope this will keep you on track with all the information and products that are out there.Where to find the newest tools?When innovations launch it’s hard to keep track of them. Roli for example has gone viral and so did Subpac. But a company as Output inc that develops next-level software is less know at bedroom producers but can offer such a great addition to your plugin library. We would advise to read music blogs monthly and look on Kickstarter for new innovations. Also, when you find one always subscribe to their newsletter and you’re the first that will be updated when a new tool of them launch.Innovative music companiesTo make it easy for you we listed a few cool companies with a short description. OWOW.io Next level instruments that are very experimental to play with. Output INC Great plugins that are different than the usual such as reversed plugins (rev) and vocal generators (Exhale). Roli 5D-touch keyboards Splice Collaboration, packs and projects in the cloud so you always have access to the newest samples. Just look at their websites and discover for yourself what they are offering to your musical career.What do you really need?Hardware and innovative software are great to have! But always consider in a way if you need it since ‘less is more’ is still a golden rule in music production. You get easily lost in all the folders of plugins and cables of your synthesiser; sometimes it’s better to know one product for 100% instead of five different products for 20%. Be the master at your tool! It’s cool to be a gear junkie but do not overdo this if you don’t use or need it… Remember that an EDM dance hit can be made on a single laptop with no gear as Deadmau5 said. Also, have a look at small practical improvements like learning shortcuts. This improves your workflow, for example, FL Studio shortcuts are necessary to learn as well for Logic and Ableton. Spend some time on that rather than buying all the gear!But hey! If you have some spare time, play around! Let us know if you have any questions of additions to this article.
