Advanced Signal Flow

It’s important to equip yourself as an audio engineer with all of the options you have for signal flow before you begin recording or running a live service. This will help you with making decisions on when and where to apply processing or when not to apply any at all.

Key Points:
  • One of the choices that audio engineers have to make is whether to process a signal pre or post recording. There’re advantages to pre-processing, but use this approach with intention. Too much processing up-front can limit the potential of the recording later.
  • Pre and post processing capabilities are endless and have come a long way. Don’t let the availability of processing stand in the way of knowing how your mics sound. Nothing can replace having a strong knowledge of microphone technique. What an engineer lacks in technical resources, they can often make up for with great mic technique.
  • Whether using pre or post processing, it’s important to know why the choice is being made and how it’ll impact the overall project.
