If you think that a load attenuator has to destroy
the guitar tone you're recording... think again.

Universal Audio Apollo Twin.
The powerful Thunderbolt interface/UAD engine
takes on a cool portable form. Also: we review
the new UA 610 Tube Preamp and EQ plug-in
collection.

Tannoy Reveal 402 and 802 Active
Studio Monitors.
The Reveal name has been attached to many
wonderful speakers over the years, but these new
home-studio-friendly monitors are something special.

Yamaha THR10 Guitar Amplifier.
An amp that's small enough to sit on your table
but powerful enough, both in sound and features,

Gurrisonic at The Bridge Recording.
A jazz big band with strings records an amazing
new album, almost entirely in one room-and we
talk with bandleader José Gurría and engineer
Greg Curtis about the experience.

Recording Live to 2-Track... But Not
The Way You'd Think.
Sometimes the best-laid plans go out the window
and you have to make the most of a really tough
live gig. This surprising method just might save
your session!

Ear Trumpet's first multipattern design combines a
cool steampunk look with a sound that could be
a modern classic.

Recording A Band... As A Band.
From Big Bands and the Beatles to the modern
day, really great performances fight against the
idea of individual players tracking their parts one
at a time. Join the fray and learn how to help a
band preserve its live energy in a recording studio.

Captured a-Live.
Whether on stage or in the studio, there's a
secret to getting a great band recording without
interfering with the artists' energy or the venue's staff.
