Guitar Effects Pedals - Part One - Introduction and the Evolution of the Effects Pedal

Introduction and Evolution of the Effects Pedal -

In this blog my intention is to shed a light on guitar effects pedals.  I have broken this blog into three sections which will break down the evolution of the effects pedal into modern-day music:  The creation of the pedals and their early implications; the effects themselves and how they work; and finally some tone tricks and how to maximize your tone with effects pedals.
Please also understand that I am neither an electronics engineer nor a historian and that this article is based partially on fact and partially on opinion. I hope you will enjoy it either way.

Lets start from the beginning:

Phosphene Productions Studio Tour Video

Greetings and Salutations!

Not too long ago now we had the idea of making a video to share with everyone that could somewhat 'show-off' our studio in which we record out of. We instantly got to work on filming, music, effects, scripts and managed to put together a really great Studio Tour Video.
Our idea was to be able to share this video with those who maybe can't make it up to the studio to have a personal tour, or maybe whom live too far away.
It's also a great way for our fans to get a closer look at where we work and how its all done.
We hope you enjoy, feel free to leave comments, and of course, give her a thumbs up!

Cheers!~

Studio Success Guide Pt. 4 - Vocals

Welcome to another edition of Phosphene Productions Studio Success Guide! This week we're going to discuss what it takes to achieve a killer sounding vocal take when recording in the studio. But before we get to the studio we have some things to prepare for... let's take a look.

Vocalists are generally classified as the “front-man (or woman)” of the band and usually have the biggest spotlight glaring on them. The singer carries the music along, tells a story of some fashion and keeps the audience interested. Though there are many different styles of singing (opera projection, screaming, whispering, etc...), generally the recording process is pretty straight-forward.

(*Just sing in the microphone right?!*)
