Animations,3D, Amsterdam based animation studio www.studiomichaklein.com Biography New Media Artist Micha Klein Micha Klein graduated in 1989 at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam as the first artist to receive a BA in computer-graphics. Since 1989 Klein, as a fine artist, held exhibitions in galleries and museums worldwide of monumental photo-panels utilizing diverse digital techniques and styles. His digital “paintings” draw attention with their bright colors and smooth surfaces, but show underneath, a unique world with references to art history and pop culture. In 1998 the Groninger Museum honored Micha Klein with a retrospective of 10 years of his digital art and video. After that, shows followed in London, Tokyo, Milan and San Francisco. In 2000 a show at the prestigious Mary Boone Gallery in New York started his career in the United States. Rapper Eminem went on tour using Klein’s notorious character “Pillman” in specially made background projections. Klein’s work is in the collection of the following museums: Groninger Museum, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Amsterdam Historical Museum, LACMA Los Angeles, Denver Art Museum, and in various corporate and private collections. Micha Klein has been at the front of the VJ movement since 1988, when he introduced “VideoDrugs” at warehouse parties, pioneering live VJ’ing as we now know it. He brought the concept to Ibiza in ’97 with a residency in Pacha, and has done gigs all over the world – from WMF (Berlin) to Twilo (New York …

Music recording capabilities and technologies have evolved and changed dramatically over the last few years as heavy mixing boards and other equipment have been replaced, or at least supplemented by portable laptop computers and software programs like ProTools and others.

You may be wondering which types of equipment to buy, whether you need to purchase recording software, and how to set up your own studio to help you take your recording abilities and expertise to the next level. The good news is that you may not even need to buy very many pieces of large, bulky equipment at all. The majority of new laptops are powerful enough to run sophisticated recording software that can easily take the place of traditional equipment, and can allow you to have a mobile recording studio as well.

If you have never used recording software like DigiDesign Pro Tools,Steinbergs Cubase, Apples Logic, Cakewalks Sonar or Abletons Live before, you might want to consider taking a class or receiving online instruction and support. These software programs contain many features, so many that even people who have been using them for years often realize that there were features that they were not aware of until after taking a course. There are many websites that offer online support and instruction, depending on the type of software that you purchase. One of the best ways to familiarize yourself with your recording studio software however is to experiment on your own. It goes without saying that you should get in quite a few practice sessions before you attempt to do a live recording.

Whether or not you decide to create a physical studio in a fixed location is up to you. It may not be necessary if you are planning on traveling a lot, but you will still want to have some basic equipment, including a few high quality microphones. If you are anticipating working on recording projects that will require multiple sessions and or if you are not anticipating that you will be traveling very much, you may want to think about a combination mobile and traditional studio. You can still use your software for the bulk of the work, but you will have the benefit of actual physical equipment as well, and know that you will have a dedicated space to work on your projects.

Regardless of the type of studio that you opt for, you should plan on investing in a powerful laptop computer and a high quality recording software program. You will be surprised to discover all of the truly creative and innovative things that you will be able to incorporate into your recording projects when you use one

So you’ve been playing guitar in your bedroom for years and have decided to purchase a Home Recording Studio Setup. There are so many audio Interfaces currently available that this seemingly simple task can easily become quite confusing. An audio interface or DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is a device that handles input and output of audio and MIDI to and from your computer. Some of the questions you’re most likely to ask may sound a little like: ‘Should I spend as little as possible?’, ‘Do I spend a little more in the hope that I may need some of the features on the more expensive unit?’, ‘Do I lash out and find myself sitting in front of a unit with little knowledge as to what 90% of its features actually do!?’. Sound familiar?

Before investing in a home recording studio setup for the first time, I would strongly consider some of the following:

How many inputs at any given time will I need?

Given that there can be so many different projects in a recording scenario, 2 Inputs may be all you need. With today’s technologies, musicians can easily create ‘Commercial’ sounding recordings with drums, strings, keys, bass, guitars and vocals with only two audio inputs and a MIDI I/O. Or, do you wish to record a Live Band in which you’ll need at least 16 tracks? That’s not to say you can’t record a band with only 8 tracks, or 2 for that matter… you will just have less control of each individual instrument. Do you need the inputs to support Line Level, Accept a Bass or Electric Guitar (DI) and power my microphone with 48V Phantom power? Do you want to utilise the Digital output of your Guitar Amp Simulator or synthesizer? If so, you’ll be needing either a S/PDIF or optical input.

What programme is best for my needs?

Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Sonar, Adobe Audition and Cubase are just a few of the many programmes users can choose from. But which one is best for you? Should you go with industry standard Pro Tools or, Logic Pro with better MIDI capabilities? Would Cubase suit your needs as you can use it with a broader range of Hardware? As you can guess, different programmes excel where others may not be as capable. Find out what programme suits the style of music you’re most likely going to be recording.
Will the programme work with your computer and operating system? Does it support MAC and PC? Check online forums for compatibility issues with your computer. Does the particular unit you’re thinking of buying require fire wire or USB? Does your computer have both of these inputs?

Does my studio have to be portable?

Some recording studios are used solely as editing suites where inputs are never needed. Thus, manufactures have invented USB styled portable hardware. Many of the units on today’s market are, in fact, portable. It’s only when you combine many other pieces of hardware where setups become difficult to transport. Do you want to have it placed in a rack so if down the track, you can add other pieces of gear?
