Any stage or point in an audio signal path where the gain or level of the signal can be adjusted or amplified is referred to as a gain stage. The most common example of a gain stage is the input or output level controls of any piece of gear, whether it's a pre-amp, a compressor's make up gain or a fader on a mixer. In this video recording engineer Keith Kaufman explains how to identify and make proper use of gain stages to ensure they are matched across the patch of the signal. This will ensure you preserve the natural dynamic range and signal to noise ration of the audio signal.

www.winksound.com Portamento and riser effects are commonly used in music production to transition between parts of a track. For example from a verse to the bridge or from a pre-chorus to the hook. In this tutorial music producers Ross Lara and Will Broussard (Terror Dactel) share how to record and mix a riser effect from scratch using Logic Pro. To capture the base sound for the riser effect they both head to Ross's garage in Breckenridge, Colorado to sample two Yamaha snow mobiles at high RPMs. The goal is to record engine rev up's using a stereo pair of microphones featuring the Audio-Technica 4033 and Audio-Technica 4040 recording into the Zoom H4 portable digital recorder. The recorded samples are then imported into Logic Pro, edited and the final custom riser build up is designed for use in their latest pop track titled "Electric Love". They share valuable mic placement and sound design tips along the way and although the mixing is realized using Logic Pro it's important to note that these concepts carry over to all other music production software.

Consider the Beatles when they played Shae Stadium in 1966, all they had to amplify their music were a few guitar amplifiers and loudspeakers against the impossible roar of a fanatic crowd. Fast forward 50 years later and technology has evolved to allow any willing artist, group or organization to present a top quality, touring production as exemplified by Tops In Blue. In this segment learn how US Air Force special unit Tops In Blue has created an organized and effective rigging and live sound system.
