O-TOWN Reuintes in 2016

O-Town debuted in 2000 – and after a decade-long hiatus – the boys are back together!

In association with J-Records and Bunim/Murray Productions, Clive Davis gave audiences firsthand insight into the creation of a pop band on ABC’s hit reality series “Making the Band.” Long before “American Idol,” “X-Factor,” or “The Voice” premiered, the reality series gave audiences a behind-the-scenes peek into the entire developmental process of stardom, from casting, to songwriting and recording, to making music videos and setting out on tour. Audiences watched the process unfold week after week, in the first reality series of its kind.

By the end of Season 1, “Making the Band” spawned a boy band sensation that rivaled *NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, and LFO. A handsome and talented group of teenage heartthrobs was born, and O-Town was an instant success.

Under the helm of pop idol manager Lou Pearlman, who also managed Britney Spears and New Kids on the Block, it wasn’t long until O-Town climbed the charts. Their most iconic song – romantic ballad “All or Nothing” – reached #3 on Billboard’s adult-contemporary chart. Teenage girls worldwide knew the names and faces of Ashley Parker Angel, Erik-Michael Estrada, Dan Miller, Trevor Penick, and Jacob Underwood during the pinnacle of the boy band era of pop music.

Now, after a ten-year absence from the music scene, the guys are all grown-up and they have reunited as a quartet! They recently recorded a brand new album entitled Lines & Circles, and they are now embarking on a much anticipated reunion tour.

Throughout 2016, O-Town will perform their fresh single “Chasin’ Ater You” in cities nationwide, and they will surely melt hearts with their classic hits like “Liquid Dreams.”

On Thursday, February 25th at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA, O-Town will be joined by modern adult-contemporary recording artist and songwriter Carly Robyn Green. O-Town fans have heard Carly’s music featured on many popular women’s television shows like “Dance Moms,” “Say Yes to the Dress,” “Real Housewives,” "Young & The Restless," "Fashion Star," and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.” She has sung back-up for Cee Lo Green, opened for Chris Brown, and sung duets with Deborah Cox. Audiences should look out for her new project “What Love Is All About.”

This will be a nostalgic reunion not to be missed!

Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z – Impedance, DI Boxes, Preamps, and Mic Level v. Line Level

What is Hi-Z vs. Lo-Z?  What do people mean when they talk about “Mic Level”, “Line Level”, and “Impedance”? First, let’s look at Mic Level sources.  These are considered to be either at Hi-Z or Lo-Z : Hi-Z – High Impedance, High Voltage, Low Current Keywords : Guitars, Basses, Instruments; Short Cable Runs, Better Sustain, More Interference. Most of us will come to associate Hi-Z impedance equipment with things like guitars, basses, and 1/4” connector plugs.  Inside of a Hi-Z cable, there are only two conductors: a “positive” and a ground.   Since there is no negative cable (such as in a Lo-Z cable) to balance the positive cable, both capacitance and reactance suffer with increasingly longer cables.  In layman’s terms, this means your sound loses quality and gets noisier once your cable exceeds roughly 15’ – 20’.  (Ever wonder why it’s hard to find guitar cables longer than 20’?  Now you know why!) Fun Fact : Vacuum tube circuits have na...

Marshall 1960A 4x12 Guitar Cab Mic Placement / Positioning

How should you mic up your 1960A rig at your next show or recording project? The short answer: Experiment with many different mics, mic positions, and even mic preamps before settling on a "best" sound.  There is really no "right" answer since music is so subjective, and there may be multiple solutions for different situations.  Make sure you know what speaker sounds best in your cab, and make sure you know where an SM57 sounds best, too, since that's what the average sound tech is going to throw on there. The long answer: Most of us know that placing mics in various positions around a speaker cabinet will yield different sounds.  Part of this has to do with each speaker sounding a little different (even if they're the same make and model), mic height from the ground producing various colorations due to differences in reflection time, and what kind of room you are in.  In particular, though, there are three (3) main placement factors that will affect ...

Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter Review

One of my close buddies picked up a Fostex 3070 Compressor/Limiter today for $50.00 off of a Craigslist deal and promptly handed it over to me for inspection and testing.  To be honest, my experience with analog compressors is fairly limited; I have used EL Distressors in the past but beyond that, my knowledge is quite limited.  I know what "should" work in theory and what settings might be good for certain genres of music, but I really had no idea what to expect here. After a cursory inspection of the unit, which revealed it was manufactured in 1982, I read the manual ( available online here ) cover to cover.  I realized a few things right off the bat -- this is a VCA stereo compressor, it comes with an included noise gate, and side-chaining is completely possible.  The rest of the manual is surprisingly helpful... there's really no fluff here like with most modern manuals that are filled with useless garbage. The next step was to grab a few TRS patch cables a...
