Twice a month we revisit some of our reader favorite posts from throughout the history of Audiotuts+. This tutorial was first published in July 2008. When it comes to special effects, reverse reverbs are amongst the most useable processes there are. Although the method for creating these effects is often looked upon as complex, the right technique can lead to a transparent workflow and impressive end results. In this tutorial we’ll apply a reverse reverb effect to a vocal–a technique you might have heard used at the beginning of Justice’s ‘DVNO’.

Step 1 Choose the file you want to process and import it onto a fresh track in your DAW. It’s important to ensure this initial sound is reasonably dry and unprocessed. This way, any further processing will be easily distinguished and... 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.

While Mid/Side (M/S) processing is not often used by mastering engineers, it has its advantages over normal stereo processing. One of them is that you can create some unusual effects because the sound is processed differently. This Reason tutorial explains how to process your sounds using channels for both Mid and Side, instead of Left and Right. Step 1: Theory The theory behind the M/S processing is already explained here on Audiotuts+ by Mo Volans here: How to Use M/S Processing in Mastering. It’s recommended you read it, since it’ll help you understand this topic. In the end it comes to this: Mid=Left+Right and Side=Left-Right. Mid can be explained as the mono part of the Left and Right signals, so Mid contains the sounds that Left and Right have in common. Side contains the difference between the Left and Right signals. Step 2: Mid Signal Let’s start from scratch by opening up an empty Reason project. Create a Combinator and rename it to ‘Mid/Side’. Note that the... 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 December 2008. Knowing how to use an equalizer is a fundamental skill for anyone working with audio, yet it is one of the most abused. Here are some tips and tricks for using your EQ more effectively. You’ll notice there are more don’ts than dos on this list; that’s because EQ is best when used in moderation. Step 1: Find The Frequency Finding the right frequency to adjust is, of course, the most important thing. With time, some of the more common frequencies become second nature, but what if you’re dealing with a new sound, or just don’t have the experience to know where to start? Here is an easy way to find the right frequency every time. What you need is a parametric EQ, or at least an EQ that allows you to control the target frequency. Boost one band all the way. If the band has a “Q” control make it quite high (Q stands for “quality... Relative News

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 feature AudioJungle author Bobby Cole (Catch22Music). Tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living? My name is Bobby Cole, and I am from the small fishing of Mumbles which is in the city of Swansea, South Wales. (Wales is the country that is just on the side of England UK.) It’s a beautiful place, right next to the seaside and surrounded by countryside. My studio is situated just a stones throw from the beach and that’s where I make a living. Growing up in a small village like the Mumbles, I had to find something to do….! Music did not run in the family, but most instruments that I have learnt have all come quite naturally to me. I started drumming at 7 years old, guitar at 9, piano at 14, and recently have started to learn things... Relative News

This tutorial series is going to show you how to use Ableton Live MIDI devices in order to improve your songwriting skills. Many up and coming producers have difficulties with their songwriting skills because they have an idea in their heads but their hand skills are not good enough to put this idea into an interesting and realistic melody. Sometimes I struggle on my MIDI keyboard because I can’t form the chords correctly and I miss the right combination of the notes over and over again. And this causes me to lose the flown of my idea. Fortunately Ableton Live has some excellent features to help correct these problems. In the first part of the tutorial I will show you how to use these devices correctly and next one I will give some advice about how to combine them in order to contribute great melodies from it. Step 1: Create a MIDI Track First you have to create a MIDI track and apply an instrument to it. I usually use a piano first, and later on when I have an idea... 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 July 2008. So, you’ve recorded a vocal, and now you want to mix it and process it so it sounds great in your mix. We’re not going to look at tracking vocals in this tutorial. Instead, we’re going to focus on how to process vocals once you’ve recorded them. Depending on your room, your mic and placements, your pre-amps and inputs and, above all, your skill-level, the quality of your recorded vocal sound is going vary. Vocal processing can seem like a bit of a dark art when you’re just trying to get by recording your material at home with budget equipment. But, no matter how bad your initial sound is, you can improve it. Note: this tutorial contains embedded audio that will not display in a feed reader.

Getting and keeping your guitar in tune is so rudimentary that it barely merits talking about, right? Well, I’m not so sure. Despite, or maybe even because, of easy access to digital tuners, it seems that an awful lot of guitar players haven’t quite got to grips with it. I can’t count the number of local bands and YouTube guitar show-and-tell videos I’ve seen featuring horribly out of tune guitars. I’ve even jammed with other musicians and had to point out that they’re out of tune, and once even had to physically tune their instrument for them! So what does being in tune mean, and how do we achieve it? And should we be relying so heavily on digital tuning? As well as being an essential skill for making minor tuning adjustments on the fly, tuning by ear a great way to fine tune your ability to match tones by ear and recognise intervals. In this tutorial, we’ll look at what being in tune means, and learn the dying art of keeping in tune by ear. What Do We Mean by "In Tune"... Relative News
