via Audio Cookbook"In the spirit of One Sound Every Day, I am starting a new project called One Synthesizer Sound Every Day. My plan is to use hardware synthesizers from my collection (and eventually soft-synths) to produce a sound, musical phrase, or microtrack to share here on ACB every day for a year. As well as my own sounds, I’ll be accepting select sounds from other artists and ACB readers Relative News

// In this week’s Audio Premium content, Mo Volans teaches you how to create five essential synth patches. While the screenshots for this tutorial are taken in Propellerhead Reason, the content is not Reason-centric and is equally useful and valuable for any subtractive synth. To learn more about what you get as part of Audio Premium, read this. To take a peek inside this tutorial, hit the jump! In some of my recent tutorials I have looked at programming patches that represent the building blocks of subtractive synthesis. In this more extensive offering we’ll round up the sounds covered so far and explore a few others. I’ve used Reason’s Subtractor throughout this tutorial but you can of course use any subtractive instrument in your collection to recreate the sounds created here. The previous synthesis tutorials I have completed use a few different instruments and should show you that these sounds can be created on just about any synth. Learn to make each of these sounds...

Writing lyrics is a very personal thing, and it is that sense of individualism that can really help people relate to a song. There are no strict rules that must be followed, but having a helpful collection of songwriting resources can really help. Here are 7 sets of lyric writing resources with a bunch of helpful links. Feel free to add more resources in the comments. It will make this list more useful. 1. Life Experience But before you go elsewhere for help, first look to yourself. Your own life experience is your greatest resource. Countless songs have been written on just about every topic – love being the greatest cliche – but your own unique perspective makes it worth writing another one. As you live your life, you’ll come across: Interesting, unusual and memorable phrases and sayings. Often the catchiest part of a song is a single phrase. Keep your ears open for them. Stories.

Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+. This tutorial was first published in October 2008. Ever wanted to DJ with Ableton Live? Here’s how! While it’s true that you can produce a complete live show with Ableton Live, bringing your studio production to stage, some would just like to mix their favorite tracks “a la DJ.” The most basic principle of DJing is to have a set of tunes playing continuously — no jumps, no cuts, no funny transitions, just as if all the pieces in the playlist were one. A long tune of an hour or more. Thumbnail image courtesy of Dade. There are many sets of tools to help you achieve this, the most common being turntables and a selection of vinyl records. Others DJ with CDs instead, while some resort to laptops and DJing software and a few even use iPods. No matter what set of tools and techniques you choose, DJing will always require the smooth transitioning and syncing of musical pieces. An... Relative News
