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. Whether it is the experiences of your own life, or stories from the lives of others you... Relative News

In Part 1 of this tutorial which can be found here, we examined a couple of uses of side chain compression and demonstrated how this method can assist and enhance your mixing experience. Specifically, we looked at how we can sidechain a single signal and also used an effect rack on a return channel and a neat Utility plugin trick to apply compression to multiple signals. In Part 2, we are going to examine two ways of ducking only a selected frequency range and also how to compress a “busy” signal. The Ableton Live version being used is 8.0.9. Step 4: Ducking a Frequency Range Till now, our bass synth’s volume lowers down when the kick drum is heard. Drop a Spectrum device on the master channel and observe the lower frequency range. Solo the Bass channel, then the Drums channel. On the drum channel just go on and solo only the kick drum for the time being. Then CTRL + click both solo button to listen to both channels (Drums and Bass) playing together while looking at the... Relative News

// The Mac App Store has just opened, and the first day was an unqualified success, with the download of over a million apps. What will the app store mean for audio software, and the future of the Mac? We have a look at the audio apps available on Day 1. There has been concern expressed over whether the app store is right for audio. It isn’t the right platform (in its current state) for the sale of plugins. And there is concern about the huge margins Apple make from other people’s software. Yet there are already 76 apps in the “Music” category of the store. There are also fears about whether Apple will make the Mac a closed shop by forcing all apps to be sold through the app store at some point in the future. But that remains to be seen. For now, the Mac App Store is a convenient way for Apple users to discover, install and update software. Let’s have a look at what’s available. By the way, you install the app store on your Mac by doing a standard System Update from the... Relative News

Powerful drum sounds in a mix is something that we all probably desire and strive for, unless of course the type of instrumental composed doesn’t call for a heavier drum. However, for most music such as hip hop, rap, house, techno, and other styles, the presence for a nice sounding drum section is a great addition to a mix. In this quick tip tutorial, I am going to show you a quick, simple way that you can make your drum sounds, especially your snare and kick, sound more present in your mix. This little trick comes in very handy especially for producing hip hop beats, rap beats, and house music, where the kick and snare (or clap) is desired to be more dominant in the mix. Step 1: Load Your Drum Samples Before you can start this process, you of course need to load up the drum samples that you are wanting to use. Simply go to the top menu and click View and Browser (if you don’t already have it open) and look for the drum samples you plan to use. Right click on the drum... Relative News

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

Soundproofing and acoustic treatment are important topics to tackle when setting up a home studio. Even if all of your sounds are electronic, the room you are in will strongly affect the sound you are hearing through your monitors. In this article we get to grips with the issues and some common ways of dealing with them. A few weeks ago I asked Audiotuts+ readers for their hints and tips about soundproofing in an Open Mic. A huge thanks to everyone who responded. You’ll find many of the suggestions in this article. An article like this is never finished—you can add your experiences to the comments too. Which acoustic treatment techniques did you find effective? Are there any products you would like to recommend? Did you learn some lessons the hard way that you can warn the readers about? Bobby Owsinski’s excellent Premium tutorial Build an Effective Room Treatment on the Cheap (borrowed liberally from Chapter 2 of his book “The Drum Recording Handbook” ) gives a great overview....

// Today I would like to show you a mini pluck sequence. I use this sound quite a lot in my productions, and invented the term “mini pluck”. It is used in several trance songs – especially in uplifting trance – but you can use other genres as well In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create a “mini pluck downer” type patch in Sylenth. This is basically a pluck arpeggio with a filter being modulated in a random rhythm. I use Ableton Live to create it. It is suitable for giving backing support to other parts of the song. Other words it’s a backing track just give some feel your tracks. Step 1: Create a Track Let’s insert a MIDI channel in Ableton and insert the MIDI clip. The length of the clip is three bars. Change the grid to 16th notes and draw some notes on C#4, E, G#, A and don’t leave any silence between them. So as you see the notes is rising on the scale. Duplicate this sequence until you reach bar 2.3. So the sequence looks like the following. This will act... Relative News

In this tutorial, I will be using the Malstrom synthesiser in Reason to create electronic tones that can be used while designing engine sounds for vehicles in the sci-fi genre of film and other video based media. The Malstrom synth is extremely versatile and its modulators are perfect for creating post production sound effects. The following example will demonstrate the starting point and fundamental structure of sound synthesis for a sci-fi vehicle: the tone, shape and character of the engine sound. Download audio file (example.mp3) Step 1: Using the Malstrom The Malstrom is a graintable synthesiser that uses a combination of granular and wavetable synthesis to produce sound. The wavetable element of the synths oscillators are ideal for producing sound effects of this nature, as the variation of tone and modulation adds a sense of realism to the synthesised sound. For designing the engine sound of this sci-fi vehicle, I will be creating two layers: bottom and top. 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 July 2008. Mastering your tracks can be a bit of a minefield and is often seen as the domain of the professional. However, if your tracks are just for demo purposes, a DJ set or even use on the net, you may want to tackle the job yourself. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to master a track quickly and easily. Mo Volans shows you how… Software and equipment used This tutorial was completed in Logic Pro 8 using a mixture of Logic’s native plug-ins and third party processors from Universal audio. Although this specific mix of products is used in the workshop, all techniques are generic and can be translated to any genre of music using similar plug-ins and any digital audio workstation software. Step 1 Start by adding a stereo track to accommodate your un-mastered track. This should be an exported or recorded version of your entire mix-down.... Relative News
