Editor's review of Studio Buddy

4.0 stars

Developed by professionals, this free application dispenses very useful audio-engineering tips. Studio Buddy couldn't be easier to use; you simply select a recording topic from the left box, and the right one will display detailed information. However, we wish the app could be minimized to your taskbar, and it would be nice if the window could be resized for easier reading. The program offers quite a bit of information on how to record certain instruments, microphone choice and placement, and usage of outboard gear such as compressors. You'll also find tips for equalizing and mixing music once basic tracking has been finished. Studio Buddy offers a quick-search option, but beyond that, you won't find any features. Professional audio engineers probably won't need this program's help, but amateurs and home hobbyists are sure to find this freebie informative.

"PERFECT"

by rabbitkillrun on November 4, 2007

Pros: I do a several live events and this is really useful for finding out the type of mics to use and other useful tricks.

Cons: The only problem is the window can't be resized so it's not as easy to read as it could be, but apart from that...

"Ummm....what about XP and up"

by sr5i on February 7, 2008

Pros: 2002???? Couldn't tell you a good thing. I hear great reviews but it doesn't even work with XP? Too bad.

Cons: It's old. Few people will even be able to download it.

"Nice and helpful"

by jes2005 on February 21, 2005

Pros: At first browsing, this seems to be a nice offering from those "in the know." A good tool to have available on your computer for when you need it. It covers alot about setting up for recording in a home studio (mic tips), but not much on home recording software tips. (Ie what is compression, reverb, delay, etc..) That's the only reason I'm giving it 4/5, not 5/5, because that's what I hoped it would contain. Nonetheless it's free! Totally free and seems to very genuine. If you like this type of informative help, and don't want to spend months on posting boards like I originally did to get up to speed on all this recording mumbo-jumbo, I recommend you contact Shure for some of their great manuals. They've got some great informative guides and even CD-ROMs. They can help you get up to speed quickly.

Cons: Doesn't have that much information in regards to operating home recording software. Though is great for many other topics. Seems pretty stable. I'm even running it on XP, though XP isn't listed in its OS.
