When it comes to MIDI orchestration, the string section is probably the most difficult to emulate. That is because it, even though the strings are probably one of the most homogenous sections of the orchestra, it has some characteristics that are extremely hard to produce via samples. First of all, the strings are bowed instruments. This means that the musicians use a bow to produce the tones. The bow can be moved either up or down and this creates different aspect of the sound. Secondly the players are always slightly out of tune, mostly in the beginning of the note – especially when they change positions very quickly and therefore produce a slurred tone. And last, but not least, a violin player for example can play a single tone on different strings and therefore create a specific sound. If you look through various types of classical scores, you can see that the composer intentionally wrote “Sul D” on top of the violin section solo. This can create a specific effect or...

// This is the third and final instalment in a series of articles that aim to get you started on the road to playing your favourite music by ear. Back in Part 1, we looked at why learning music by ear is a worthwhile exercise, and I sent you away with some active listening techniques and an example song to get you started. In Part 2, we looked at how a little research can help us along, and got started on using various techniques to make educated guesses about chord voicings. In this final part, we’ll refine and expand our work from Part 2, and move on to look at some ways to start unpicking solos and melody lines. As before, no theory knowledge is required! 1. Thanks, Sherlock The idea with parts 1 and 2 of this series was to illustrate the key tasks involved in working out music by ear, namely: To listen to and absorb the music we’re working on To put on our detective’s hat and use whatever information we have, including the recording itself, to make educated guesses...

When you buy an album or MP3, you are normally purchasing a license to listen to the music as a private individual. You can listen, but don’t touch. Or copy. Or redistribute! What if you want to include one of the tracks in a project—say a short film clip, an iPhone app, or a Flash project? Unless you have loads of money, you’re out of luck. So, what can you do? Where can you turn? Read on! In a recent Open Mic we explored this very issue. We asked, “Where can I find redistributable music?” A huge thanks to everyone who responded. Your answers form the basis of this article. And there isn’t just one answer to that question. In fact, there are three major categories of licenses that will give you the rights you are after. And each category of license has inspired countless website full of music. This article will introduce them to you. But before we start, be aware that different licenses give you different rights. Some come with significant limitations. As you read this... Relative News

// It’s been a big year! In 2010 we’ve seen some great tuts, some interesting series, and introduced Quick Tips. We recently published our thousandth post. I’d like to thank our brilliant authors, and also thank you—the Audiotuts+ community—for your interest, involvement and comments. Here are the Top 15 posts of the year, categorized by written tuts, video tuts and articles. Their popularity was measured by taking into account the number of times they have been visited, and the number of comments they inspired. Congratulations to all of the authors involved for your useful and insightful work, and for often going beyond the call of duty.

Classical piano, KORG nanoKontrol, 3.5″ diskettes, and patience. Our sister site AudioJungle is a royalty-free stock audio site that helps musicians earn money. In this interview series you’ll learn about those musicians, their gear, and their AudioJungle experiences. Today we meet Rodrigo Noales (Sonicbyte). Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living? My name is Rodrigo Noales, and I’m from Mar del Plata, Argentina. My main job is being a web designer/multimedia at sonicbyte.com a design studio I founded 10 years ago along with Pablo Jimeno (project manager and designer) and Juan Pablo Vincent (Programmer/Developer), my parteners in this adventure. In fact sonicbyte.com was created as a Royalty Free Audio site. Ha ha. But just as a part-time project, until I found AudioJungle some years later, and fell in love with it. I then got some of my old tracks, created some new ones and the rest is history. Which marketplaces do you belong to?... Relative News

// Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+. This tutorial was first published in September 2008. Following my tutorial on creating a house drum track we received requests for information on creating bass lines, lead sounds, FX and arrangements. So, over the coming weeks I will be supplying step-by-step tutorials, demonstrating possible techniques for completing an electronic house track. I will build on the track in each tutorial so you can see things develop and make the Logic project available at each stage. Even though these tutorials are completed in Logic Pro 8 and in a one particular style of house, the techniques are very much generic and can be applied to any software and genre of dance music. Note: this tutorial contains embedded audio that will not display in a feed reader. Click back to the site to read the tutorial with audio or download the Play Pack at the end of the tut. 1.

Not a day goes by that I’m not grateful for my employment in the game industry. My story isn’t particularly unique, but I do feel fortunate that I’m able to make a living doing something I love. Every so often, I’ll get the question, “How can I break into the game industry?” This question usually comes from a young and aspiring musician or audio designer, though I’ve also been asked by visual artists, animators and programmers. Likewise, this question can be found all over the web in forums, video game blogs, and community websites. flickr image by farnea Truth be told, there are more resources availble for the aspiring game developer than ever before, and the market has never been more rich with opportunities. When we think of game development, perhaps we typically think of large-scale console or PC games. However, it is good to remember that there is an absolutely stunning amount of development going on for web, casual, downloadable, iPhone, Windows Phone, Android, and... Relative News
