Chris Meyer

Chris Meyer wanted to be a recording engineer when he grew up, but everyone told him there wasn't much money (or satisfaction) in it - so he became a software engineer instead. He eventually landed gigs as a software engineer at the musical instrument and digital audio companies Sequential Circuits, Digidesign, and Roland Corporation, while indulging his love of recording as a sideline. His audio and music knowledge came in handy as he morphed into a career in desktop video, where each person is expected to do many parts of a given job. In addition to composing, recording, editing, sweetening, and mixing audio for a variety of video clients, he also released a critically acclaimed album with the ensemble Alias Zone.

Vibration and Hum

Chris Meyer

Not all sources of low-frequency noise are electrical…

I’ve already written about eliminating buzz and hum from audio connections. However, truth be told, I’ve been fighting an insidious low-frequency rumble in my latest studio for over a year now. Everything seems clean electrically, but when I listened to the playback of my voice recording sessions, I heard an extra low-frequency component whenever the downward expander (noise gate) on my Focusrite VoiceMaster Pro opened up. But I think I finally have it licked.
