 It’s Getting Warmer
Apogee’s Rosetta 800 and Big Ben
Frank Moldstad
There’s a certain vocabulary people have developed to describe the characteristics of AD/DA converters. When they’re Good, the sound is warm, rich, full, natural and detailed. But when they’re Bad, the sound is brittle, thin, harsh, dull and muddy. By contrasting those two groups of words, you get an idea of why better converters are the Holy Grail in the digital audio world. Apogee’s Rosetta 800 is in the Good category. In fact, when paired with Apogee’s new Big Ben master clock, it’s Remarkable. Perfectly configured for project studios needing conversion of eight channels in and out, the Rosetta 800 would be at home in any studio – big or small – because of its professional I/O options and highly detailed audio conversion.

 Guitar Tracks Pro 3
Cakewalk's dedicated guitar recording program
Frank Moldstad
It sounds a little strange to have an audio recording, editing and mixing program just for the guitar -- all the general recording applications can record, edit and mix the guitar just fine. But when you look at the guitar factory Cakewalk has put together, it starts to make more sense. Guitar Tracks Pro 3 is a 32-track platform that is tailor-made for guitar-based projects. Among the noteworthy inclusions for guitar recording is IK Multimedia's Amplitude LE guitar amp simulator and the GT:FX suite of effects, with chorus/flange, compressor/gate, parametric EQ, phaser, reverb and tempo delay.

 The 5.1 Migration
Sound Placement Helps Convey Story Points in 60 Seconds
Dan Daley
Digital television is creating a two-way street for commercials between cinema and broadcast. The multichannel audio that theatergoers have been enjoying is migrating to television as the number of digital broadcast channels increases. But with the market penetration of stereo televisions at well over 50 percent and Dolby Pro Logic LCRS now a common feature for many broadcasters, mixing between two-, four- and six-channel formats is creating a wide new range of techniques and potential pitfalls.

 Ultrasone HFI.650 Headphones
Impressive detail and sound field for professional applications
By Frank Moldstad
Here's one of those rare products that actually lives up to its hype. The Ultrasone HFI.650 headphones have been widely praised on various audio forums by users who seem to have an almost evangelical zeal. While such comments usually need to be taken skeptically, in this case they are right on the money. Designed for recording studio and broadcast applications, the HFI.650s have one of the most naturally detailed and impressive sound fields I've ever heard from a pair of headphones. Even though they are stereo headphones, the HFI.650s create a kind of three-dimensional sonic image that allows you to hear deeply into the source material.

 Making "That's Right!"
Engineer Ian Schreier talks about recording the Grammy-nominated album by Roomful of Blues
By Frank Moldstad
This is the story of earning a Grammy nomination the hard way. It involves an incredibly tight recording schedule, a skilled engineer, and a killer band that self-financed the album and then had to find a label to take it. The band is Roomful of Blues, a 35-year-old blues institution that was ready to record its 17th album. They came to Osceola Recording Studios in Raleigh, NC, having met studio owner Dennis McGill, and were drawn by the Studer 24-track and a good rapport with engineer/producer Ian Schreier. And, because of their touring schedule, they had only a day and a half to record 14 songs.
