Recording Facility
A recording studio is a specialized facility for sound recording, mixing, and audio production of instrumental or vocal musical performances, spoken words, and other sounds. They range in size from a small in-home project studio large enough to record a single singer-guitarist, to a large building with space for a full orchestra of 100 or more musicians. Ideally, both the recording and monitoring (listening and mixing) spaces are specially designed by an acoustician or audio engineer to achieve optimum acoustic properties (acoustic isolation or diffusion or absorption of reflected sound echoes that could otherwise interfere with the sound heard by the listener). Recording studios may be used to record singers, instrumental musicians (e.g., electric guitar, piano, saxophone, or ensembles such as orchestras), voice-over artists for advertisements or dialogue replacement in film, television, or animation, foley, or to record their accompanying musical soundtracks.

End-Time Illusion
End-Time Illusion (E-TI) is a 21st-century heavy metal band formed in 2002 whose sound encompasses thrash, grind, death, and speed laced with harmonies, breakdowns, and obscure scales. History Founding members are Dave Sharpe (of :Blood Has Been Shed), Jay Warziniac, and Sean Gaura. Jay Rodriquez was recruited for bass guitar shortly thereafter. Starting out with a somewhat commercial metal sound the band quickly released a 3-song demo recorded by producer Zeus (Shadows Fall, Hatebreed, Agnostic Front). The demo fared well among reviewers and was well played on the WAAF (FM) (Boston) show Harder-Faster. The band soon became tired of comparisons to metal-core bands and decided to go back to their roots and destroy via technical riff-oriented metal. While close to completing enough new material to go into the studio at the end of 2003, Jay decided to move to Bulgaria. Realizing that finding a replacement on drums would be time-consuming, the band recorded the drum tracks before Ja ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
