AC Blog

We have a Facebook Fan Page that we’d welcome you to join.

Seems like a good idea to have wee page over there as we can let our friends know when we have some updates.

Currently we are piping some of our rss feeds into the page, so you’ll see fresh content every day, every hour sometimes!

There is a wall and a place to upload some pictures and video too, personally, I would love to see your gear and workspace.

Drive on over and be an AC Fan.

Here is a listening list we’ve used for a while on a particular module concerning recording techniques. This is getting a little old, in so much that some amazing other material could be included, but what? Bear in mind that the idea of this list is to make very explicit some really interesting recording techniques both in terms of hands-on technique (mic placement, room usage etc) and also philosophy (why).

• Discovery – Daft Punk (2000)
