Every guitar player, engineer and producer wants that frequently elusive perfect guitar sound for the track, but finding it is sometimes easier said than done.

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

Want to get into game audio? This is a must-read. West Latta continues his series on getting into the Game Audio business. Today he touches on the the key components of the craft of audio in the game industry, and how the process of learning the craft can help to guide you to success. To learn more about what you get as part of Audio Premium, read this. To take a peek inside this tutorial, hit the jump! There’s a common misconception about audio in the game industry that audio in games is ‘just some sounds and music’ and that ‘we can get someone to do that job easily’. While it may be true that there is no shortage of composers and audio designers anxious to get into the industry, it is a dangerous miscalculation to underestimate how much work is actually involved in creating audio for games.

I think it is a really cool effect I’ve used lots of times in my productions. Before we start let’s check the devices which will process the audio signal(s).
