My New VO1 Vocal Booth Review

/ Mike Adams / Leave a comment

I have another recording room update for you. In this video I show you my new recording booth that I purchased from vocalbooth.com. This is the third update of my recording space. I started these updates when the house was just a framed shell and then again when I was installing Rockwool Safe-n-Sound insulation. Now it’s done and we’ve moved into the house. But wait! That’s not all. My new recording booth essentially gives me a room within the room. Here’s the links I referenced in this video:

Stick House Recording Room Preview

/ Mike Adams / Leave a comment

We’re having a house built and I can’t wait to get out of this temporary location we’re in. It’s a challenge to record video here. Our house is in the early stages of construction and I call it the stick house since it’s framed but that’s about it. I made a short video of the new recording room I’ll have one day and I wanted to share it with you.

Enjoy!

Audacity Sample Rates and Bit Depth

/ Mike Adams / Leave a comment

Let’s talk Audacity sample rates and bit depth. What is a sample rate? What am I sampling and why? What is bit depth? What’s the relationship between sample rate and bit depth? Why are there sample rates displayed in each track and a project sample rate in the lower left corner of the screen? What’s the difference and do they have to match? Where do I set the default sample rate in Audacity?
