Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome conference doesn’t mean that you can’t still watch the lectures! Each weekend, we’ll feature a recommended audio lecture on Audiotuts+. Tod Machover of MIT’s Media Lab invented the musical technology behind Guitar Hero, and here he talks about what’s coming next. Listen for some brand-new ways to interface with music — to play it, compose it, enjoy it. Machover then introduces Dan Ellsey, a composer with cerebral palsy who uses some new tools to write and perform his own music. Onstage, Ellsey conducts his “My Eagle Song,” in a soaring performance that underscores music’s power to move you and give you chills. (Recorded March 2008 in Monterey, California. Duration: 20:35.)

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. The floor is yours to talk about the track and how the artist can fix problems in and improve upon the mix and the song. This track has been submitted for your friendly, constructive criticism. They have put their track (and their heart and soul) in your hands to learn and get useful feedback. Do you enjoy the song or track itself? Does it have potential? Can the arrangement be improved? How did you find the mix? What would you do differently? What do you enjoy about the rhythm track? What can be done to improve it? Is the choice of instruments relevant and effective for the style/song? Are the lyrics (if any) effective? Does the style, arrangement and genre of the song suit them? Can you suggest any specific techniques that might improve the... Relative News

Alternate picking is a technique used by almost every guitarist. There are other forms of picking which some guitarists prefer, but thatʼs a topic for another article. What I have compiled here is a list of “quick tips” that will benefit your development when practicing this technique. Take these tips into consideration when practicing some of your favorite alternate picking drills & licks. Quick Tip 1: Take It Slow… Really Slow In every piece of instructional material, they mention that you should take it slow. What they fail to mention, is the most important part. Be relaxed. Just because your playing at 40 bpm, doesnʼt mean that your necessarily playing slow enough. Your slow is not someone elseʼs slow. Usually exercises will tell you to begin at 60 bpm, but you should only begin here if youʼve been playing a decent amount of time and are accustomed to the guitar. You really do have to play incredibly slowly, paying attention to how tense your muscles get, and if you... Relative News

Creating a full, rounded and involving mix can be pretty challenging and one of the hardest bits is placing each instrument in it’s own defined space. Once you move past more than three or four elements there is always a danger of things becoming muddy. This is why we need to create separation. Ensuring that our instruments are clearly defined is not quite as hard as you may think. Like anything else in music production it really comes down to technique and experience. Let’s take a look at a list of ten things that should help you when completing your mixes. Step 1: Sound Selection The mixing process really starts as early as the sound selection process. Get things right at this early stage in your project and you could save yourself a huge amount of work later in the mixing process. The trick is to choose sounds that compliment each other in both timbre and frequency. For example using a large number of instruments that share the same low frequency can create a very confused...
