Shure’s MV7 – a descendent of the famous SM7B vocal microphone – was designed to overcome the various limitations of home recording set-ups. There’s a famous story in audio engineering circles concerning Bob Dylan’s 31 st album, Love & Theft , released when the Nobel Prize-winning songwriter was 60 years old. Dylan is listed as the album’s sole producer, but there’s no denying the significance of engineer Chris Shaw, who helped Dylan generate the album’s bright, clean tones. Shaw already had an impressive CV in 2001, including engineering and mixing credits on albums by Weezer, Super Furry Animals, and Butthole Surfers. But the thing that caught Dylan’s ear was the vocal sound Shaw captured for Public Enemy’s political hip-hop juggernaut, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988). So, Bob Dylan, in 2001, on his 31 st record – a blues and roots rock affair, no less – was keen to emulate the vocal sound from one of hip-hop’s most … [Read more...] about Why Every Home Studio Needs a Shure MV7 Microphone

Cassandra Peterson, Elvira: Mistress of The Dark, Urges Us to Never Give up On Our Dreams
Cassandra Peterson – or Elvira , as she’s known to most – is an enduring pop culture icon who has existed in our collective consciousness for 40 years. Yet behind the costume, her story is a moving and wildly entertaining tale of navigating the unpredictability of life as a performer. From her pre-fame days as a teenage showgirl in Vegas (where she dated Elvis Presley), her stint as a singer in a rock band in Italy, to eventually finding fame where she least expected it – with her character Elvira in the 1980s – Peterson’s journey has been a long and winding road. On the cusp on the Australian release of her autobiography and her casting in the new Rob Zombie feature adaptation of The Munsters , we sat down with “The Queen of Halloween,” to talk about her autobiography, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of The Mistress of The Dark , her life, career, and the importance of never, ever giving up. In your book you mentioned you felt like a misfit when you … [Read more...] about Cassandra Peterson, Elvira: Mistress of The Dark, Urges Us to Never Give up On Our Dreams

RS Recommends: Sennheiser’s HD 400 PRO Studio Headphones Make Sure What Goes In Is What Comes Out
Audio product names usually contain an esoteric combination of numbers and letters. It’s easy to sound like an audiophilic elitist when asking someone whether they prefer, say, the MKH 8060 or the MKH 8070. But in the case of the Sennheiser HD 400 PRO headphones , the product name is at least somewhat illustrative. PRO is not an acronym—these are professional-standard studio headphones. This means a few things. First, although you don’t need to be a professional engineer to consider buying a pair, the audio quality, depth and transparency of the 400 PROs will significantly upgrade your studio set-up. Second, the 400 PROs are designed to be used in the studio (or your closest equivalent) and not on the go. The attached cable has a 3.5 mm jack plug (and a 6.3 mm adapter), so there’s nothing to stop you using them elsewhere. But open ear cups are integral to the design, meaning these headphones are not equipped to block out background noise. Third, the 400 PROs are … [Read more...] about RS Recommends: Sennheiser’s HD 400 PRO Studio Headphones Make Sure What Goes In Is What Comes Out
Inside George Miller’s 20-Year Quest To Make ‘Three Thousand Years Of Longing’, As ‘Furiosa’ Revs Her Engines – Cannes
EXCLUSIVE : George Miller is distracted. Five minutes into our meeting, he begs forgiveness to take a quick call. And then, on an iPad tilted in his direction, the filmmaker watches as a camera feed from the Australian outback offers him a live view of a pre-shoot for his next feature, Furiosa . His supervising stunt coordinator and second unit director, Guy Norris, whose work with Miller stretches back to 1981’s Mad Max sequel The Road Warrior , is already shooting sequences for the new film. Set 15 years before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road , the film will tell the backstory of Charlize Theron’s enigmatic Furiosa, this time played by Anya Taylor-Joy. “Here I am doing an interview with you halfway across the world, and I’m able to look at this footage being shot far west from where I am and we’re discussing it as we go through the process,” says Miller, marveling at the technology. “It’s amazing, really.” It has been seven years since Fury Road … [Read more...] about Inside George Miller’s 20-Year Quest To Make ‘Three Thousand Years Of Longing’, As ‘Furiosa’ Revs Her Engines – Cannes
Amanda Bynes’ 9-Year Conservatorship Ends: ‘She’s Done Everything the Court Has Asked’
UPDATE (22/3/2022): Amanda Bynes is a free woman. Nearly nine years after the Easy A actor was placed in a court-ordered conservatorship that gave her mother decision-making power over her healthcare and security, a judge terminated the guardianship arrangement Tuesday. “The court finds that petitioner has provided facts that the conservatorship is no longer needed or required, therefore the petition for termination is granted,” Ventura County Judge Roger Lund said at the morning hearing that Bynes did not attend. “She’s done everything the court has asked over a long period of time,” the judge said. “She’s excited. She was looking forward to a favorable result, and she got it,” Bynes lawyer, David Esquibias, told Rolling Stone immediately after the hearing. He later released a statement from his client. “Words can’t even describe how I feel. Wonderful news. Following today’s decision by the judge to terminate my conservatorship, I would like to thank my fans for … [Read more...] about Amanda Bynes’ 9-Year Conservatorship Ends: ‘She’s Done Everything the Court Has Asked’

We Are Waiting on Zuck
If you happen to be wondering why it is that some of your favourite small and medium publishers are silent today, it’s because they are all #WaitingOnZuck. Kicking off today, the #WaitingOnZuck campaign is spearheaded by Decade of Action and is in direct response to last year’s News Media Bargaining Code, which was signed into law in February of 2021. The News Media Bargaining Code resulted in Facebook blocking news from local publishers as they continued to oppose the law, which would require designated tech platforms to strike commercial deals with Australian publishers that recognised the value of the content those publishers provided the platforms. Though Facebook ( Meta ) has indeed agreed to some commercial deals, they have refused to negotiate with most of Australia’s independent and small publishers. As the #WaitingOnZuck campaign explains, “this risks the slow demise of meaningful independent media in Australia which gives our industry its diversity.” Now, … [Read more...] about We Are Waiting on Zuck
