At Audiotuts+ we regularly put up a reader track for workshopping and critique (find out how to submit a track). This is how it works: you upload your song, and every week or so we’ll publish one here and step away from the podium.

Plugin ‘Automation enable’ shortcut, ‘Tab to transient’, ‘Quick Punch record’ and ‘inserts are post Master fader’ are four fundamental functions within Pro Tools. For experienced users these four things will probably be old news, but the amount of new users I come across who aren’t aware of them astounds me. Plugin Automation Enable Automating Plugin parameters is a really simple task within Pro Tools. Most users go through the plugin automation window. This isn’t a very quick way to do it as (in the case of this example) you have to search through heaps of different parameters to find the one you wish to use. There is an easier way… Hold down Ctrl+Alt+Command and directly select the parameter on the plugin GUI with a left mouse click. A window will pop open as shown in the screen shot below. Select ‘enable Automation for “xxx”‘ and the little green light will glow underneath the selected parameter. Now put your track into write, latch or touch mode, press play and... Relative News

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Getting to Know Altered ChordsThis is the third article in a seven part series on altered chords. In the first part I explained that by lowering or raising a tone of a chord by a half step you can change the color and function of a chord. Part 1 look at altered V chords, and Part 2 at altered II chords. We will continue the series by exploring various ways to alter the VI chord. Diatonic vi The sixth diatonic chord in a major key is a minor 7th chord. In the key of D it’s Bm7. It’s harmonic function is as a tonic chord, meaning that it can be felt as a place of rest, though it is much less stable and final feeling than the major tonic I. It is often used either as a passing chord along the way to II or IV, or as the target chord in a deceptive cadence. A common progression using the VI chord is I-vi-IV-V-I, which has that classic 1950s sound: Download audio file (1_I_VI_IV_V_I.mp3) In a deceptive cadence the VI chord can take the... Relative News

Today he touches on the the key components of the craft of audio in the game industry, and how the process of learning the craft can help to guide you to success. To learn more about what you get as part of Audio Premium, read this. To take a peek inside this tutorial, hit the jump! There’s a common misconception about audio in the game industry that audio in games is ‘just some sounds and music’ and that ‘we can get someone to do that job easily’. While it may be true that there is no shortage of composers and audio designers anxious to get into the industry, it is a dangerous miscalculation to underestimate how much work is actually involved in creating audio for games. Moreover, there is a growing differentiation among audio tasks in the game industry, and to assume that one person can handle all of them ‘easily’ usually results in a poor audio experience. Much...
