recordinghacks

What is this place?

Two things, at least to start:

1. an online magazine about audio recording.
2. a microphone database and comparison engine

TapeOp is the obvious inspiration for #1. If you don’t already subscribe, please go do so now. Seriously.

The inspiration for #2 is dpreview.com, which does for digital cameras what I’d like to do for microphones.

Stay tuned.

Who’s in charge?

If you mean, who’s responsible for foisting this half-baked website on the audio recording industry, my best answer is: all the people who had this idea first but didn’t get it done. Look, I sat on this for two years before finally launching it. I really tried not to do it, I swear.

But now that I’m finally doing it, I’m going to do it right, especially if you help out.

Anyway, I’m a drummer and occasional composer and full-time collector of microphones. I sometimes blog about drumming and recording and sourdough baking and Rubik’s Cube and other miscellaneous distractions, although at this point most of the stuff I want to write will end up here on RecordingHacks.

If you want to reach me, send an email to my first name (matt) at this domain, or leave a comment below.

Thanks for reading, and welcome.
