My name is Edd Gryder. My partner, Jody and I own and operate Recording EDGe, a digital audio recording studio. We have spent countless hours researching digital audio recording equipment, recording techniques and learning how to build a recording studio from the bottom up. After recording audio with people that sell songs to the top stars. we felt that it was high time for us to create a Web site that will help you get the most out of your digital audio recording equipment. AudioRecordingTips.com was born.
Our primary goal is to help you by sharing what we have learned so you can make the best digital audio recordings possible using mostly gear you already own. Hey, we can only be in one place at a time, so go for it! My new eBook named Mr. Edd Says...shares ideas on keeping your recording business focused on real needs, and keeping costs low. Making money recording audio, using what you already have, may not be as difficult as it seems. Make money as you learn, and invest when you can.

Kick Drum
50-100Hz Adds bottom to the sound
100-250Hz Adds roundness
250-800Hz Muddiness
5-8kHz Adds high end presence
8-12kHz Controls Hiss
Any apparent muddiness can be rolled off around 300Hz. Try a small boost around 5-7kHz to add some high end.
Snare Drum
100-250Hz Fills out the sound
6-8kHz Adds presence
Try a small boost around 60-120Hz if the sound is a little too wimpy. Try boosting around 6kHz for that 'snappy' sound.
