What good is a sound app on a phone or iPod, really? Just ask a Filtatron user. As with plug-ins and desktop software doodads, I find out of the sea of apps on iOS, a tiny handful are genuinely useful. But those select few can prove indispensable. I would count the Moog Filtatron in that … Continue → Relative News

At the recent Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, Calif., Sonnox announced its collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (Fraunhofer IIS) in Germany, which resulted in the new Sonnox Fraunhofer Pro-Codec plug-in ($499), which is designed to precisely audition codecs in real time while mastering audio for online distribution. This new process is a departure from having to encode a mix to MP3/AAC, preview it, adjust it and then re-render it. Relative News

More and more relative beginners are taking on their own mastering. This is great but if you plan to get the job done yourself there’s a few key things you should know before starting your first mastering sessions. One of the key things to look out for is the final level of your finished master and the amount of reduction to your music’s dynamic range. In most cases you will only need to look to your final limiter to address both of these issues. Let’s take a look. Watch That Dynamic Range One of the most important things to keep your eye on during any mastering session is the amount of dynamic range reduction taking place. This is usually directly linked to any dynamics processors you maybe using in your chain, so look at your compressors and limiters. Dynamic range reduction occurs when you apply gain reduction to your signal and will increase perceived volume and give you a more uniform level throughout your project. In moderate amounts this can work well but push... 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 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

// 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.

This tutorial will show you how you can build an organic sounding ‘super flanger’ using the RV7000 and a combinator in Reason. This effect can really add some life and movement to drums and other sounds in your music, and takes advantage of the unique wiring options offered in Reason. I have used Reason 4 to make this effect but any version of Reason from 2.5 and upwards is fine. Below is an example of the kind of effect you can create with this device. Download audio file (audio example 1.mp3) Step 1 This process will be easier to understand if you know a little about what actually creates a flanging effect. Flangers are essentially the same as delay units, but with a very very short delay time. In this first audio example I am using the standard DDL-1 delay unit in reason, with a simple drum hit being played as I shorten the delay time. The first hit has a delay time of 191 ms, and the last one has a delay time of just 30 ms. Download audio file (audio example 2.mp3) You... Relative News
