I would love to see videos with specific techniques demonstrated. For example, I would love to learn more about the process of using Live in a live setting and how to run Reason in a live setting. I also think it would be great to have an intro video that explains the step by step process of composing for film. Thanks!

More video tutorials would be a great start. Links from commonly used terms to definitions (a la wikipedia) would help the learning curve of novice users. I’d personally love to see some tutorials to show how professionals test/analyze products to determine which brand to buy. On an even more specific level an article about what % to invest in your equipment (ie: “Your DAW is priority #1″ or “It all starts with the mic…”). How about an Audiotuts Hall Of Fame – “The Shure SM57 was inducted for its all-around functionality and long-lasting durability…No list would be complete without the industry standard Pro-Tools…Yamaha NS-10’s are in virtually every professional studio and for that reason alone it makes our list.”

I think it would be a good idea to release a project file ( Reason, Logic Pro, Cubase, etc. ) of a music or sound effect every month, even if it’s not entirely from a tutorial. I find that many beginners like to dig themselves in the devices and synthesizers of a song.

Another cool idea would be to have every month a sample pack released with only a few melodies or loops and make some sort of audio/remix challenge. That would open the community even more to collaboration.

Of, you could of course present a free synth every month and release 10 presets for it ( pad, drum, lead sound, etc. )

I’d be into more “universal” tutorials – such as how to use different types of reverb (plate, convolution, spring, etc) or something – that can be applied to all different types of music.

Hi,

It would be cool if you would remake a popular song each week. The plus members can download the logic (or other sequencer) file to watch what you exactly did.

Imho is recreating the best way to learn new things.

Video tuts are always helpful. Sometimes you have to read something several times before it makes sense whereas video tends to speed up your development. Would love to see some.

Hello!

Yes, we can learn very efficiently with screen casts, so it would be great if the plus pack contains – a screen cast,a sample pack and 3 indepth tutorials.Thats the maximum limit any website can provide for that price. Thanks to TUTS+.

I’d like to see tutorials on:

1.Sound Designing
2.Mixing with respect to a specific genre.
3.Lessons on improving playing speed an instrument.
4.Tutorials on 3rd party plugins that we load into our daw, like autotune(no need for this,as you’ve already published ‘em), melodyne, altiverb and such great Comressing,EQ,Reverb and Delay plugins.
5.Web Roundups on music making gadgets.

And yes, waiting for a competition on composing or remixing.Really looking forward for a competition…

I would like to see this site a bit more organized for starters… It is the only one of the tutsplus sites that I feel disoriented in. Category-wise that is… If I want to learn more about a particular piece of software, I have no other way but to search (instead of quickly going into the categories section).

Now as far as the plus membership goes, the sample packs are a nice touch, but really the world is filled with samples.

I would really like to see tutorials such as the making of a whole production. Rock/Electronic/Jazz etc.. Technique, Workflow, Tips – By people working in the industry on a daily basis. Nothing of the ‘ Create your own template ‘ sort. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be on here, i’m just saying that I need much more advanced articles, demonstrating real-world examples.

I don’t feel like reading articles that make me feel that I am repeatedly learning where the file-open menu is at staggeringly slow speeds.

Plus, I would like to see (contrary to ryan – above – for example) more written articles instead of videos, because I don’t seem to find the time to watch the whole video at the pace of the instructor. I need to be able to skip sections if I feel confident enough that I know them, and get to the intended material of the article.

I will actually be registering with plus today, so I can check out the extra content of psdtuts and net tuts. The audio plus feels like a nice extra, but not the reason to give money for.

In addition you are not fully advertising the kind of content available in audioplus. It needs to be much more upfront and easy to find.

Thank u for listening!

Synthesis (recreating sounds on a general synth like Synth1 or so)

Effects (when, what, how to use them)

Drumm programming (layering techniques etc.)

“How to sound like”. Voting a classic, or not, track and put it under the “microscope” (arrangement, composition, mastering etc).

Create a track from scratch Ping Pong mode. Two or more producers. First starts with a beat, then he passes it to another producer to add a
baseline and so on and so forth until it gets to the mastering stage.

The workflow of a professional and organised producer.

Interviews with producers ( PSDTuts like).

A classification of virtual synths based on musical genres.

And, of course, Mastering

Thanks

I’d like to see more ableton live tutorials and something about crafting basic waves (square/sine etc) to get iconic sounds would be really useful. sample packs aren’t that great for me as I like to make the majority of my sounds from scratch if i can but I feel limited by not understanding the basics about synthesis.

I would consider to buy plus if there would be more tutorials. I have so much samples that I know at this point that it is not all the samples you got on your HD that make you a god musician. It is all about technique. You can, with proper technique make a hit song with just a couple of sounds. So please pack in more tutorials, and if you can, please do throw in a couple of video tuts as well.

Thanks for a great site so far. I have been looking for something like this for some time now. Finlay something proper to studie while waiting for the next issue of Future Music )

Great work I see around here. Anyway I’d like to see more articles on bands dynamics; as a specialist in work teams and groups I feel that what is currently available is, pretty much, common sense.

Best complements,
CFP

I’d like to see basic tutorials, as on the other tuts sites you can find “Introduction to Photoshop/one of its tools” I would like to find an “Introduction to FLStudio/one of its tools”.

I’m a designer and Photoshop lover, so I would like so much get into audio, but I haven’t seen much newbie tutorials in this page as on the others from the network

I’d like to seem some Pro Tools tutorials, and also some articles about how to get hired as an audio professional without necessarily having a degree in audio production or audio technology.

A great plus tutorial would be an ultimate DJ guide, from track selection to equipment needed to mixing using Serato or similar.

It would be great to see more videos on mixing and what actually goes into the process of using the plugins(I use waves). I myself would love to see a hip-hop targeted videos preferably.
Featuring samples that were used in finished songs would be cool to because I like to see how the producer(s) used it.
The idea of the music pack is definitely interesting just don’t go cheezy.
Contests are always fun.
There could be more but you gotta start somewhere

Overall, this is probably the premiere electronic music tutorial site on the internet, so congratulations!

While the content is very comprehensive, I would definitely like to see more drum programming techniques.

I love all of the Logic tutorials, but I would also enjoy more Ableton Live tutorials as well.

Thank you for the great site. I’ve learned and progressed so much from using it.

Cheers.

Firstly, Congratulations on releasing AudioTuts+! I’m honestly looking forward to the great level of content, from what i see on the other tuts+ sites, this is going to be a stunner!

Now, onto what I’d love to see.

I’d love to see more musician based tutorials, as for the one-man bands to be able to record, edit, release music for their audiences. For example: At the moment, I’m writing some of my own songs for guitar but would love to see a tutorial as to the best way of recording, editing and publishing these new songs with ease.

Other tutorials I’d love to see would be some video tutorials of popular software, beginners series are always a hit. For example: Beginners Guide to Sony Acid 9 – 10 Part Series.

It’d be great to see some mega tutorials which happen once a month – these would include sound packs, a written and video tutorials.

I think maybe even a AudioTuts+ monthly podcast would be great where a panel could chat about topics such as: production, recording, equipment, software, etc. It could be run similar to the FSw Podcast. I think that it’d be popular, because as far as i know i haven’t seen something of it’s kind from a site like this.

Hope the suggestions may influence some new content on the site.

I don’t care much for videos really, as I find written tutorials easier to follow.
Now, what would I like more of? Everything! I think all the tuts sites are great, and I’d like more of everything!

I would personally like to see screencasts because sometimes written tutorials make it confusing.

I would also like to see a collaboration between audiotuts and aetuts and somehow work on a project together eg. audiotuts composes and aetuts make a video based on the composition.

This is a great site with a lot of helpful and interesting content. I would like to see more tuts covering combining video and soundtracks.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

i’d like a package that goes through the process of producing a full song from start ( theory), to finish (marketing and releasing).

could probably be a 6 or 7 part thing, but with project files, sample packs and that released with it.

I love the video tutorials, and find those are the most educational. However, I hate being tied to the computer for learning these–I’m surprised to find we can only download them in .flv format–how about some other formats, so I can sync the videos to my iPhone, or view it through my Xbox 360 media center? This is something I’ve really been wanting from the whole TutsPlus network.

A video podcast would be awesome for automatic syncing.

universal topics are great: mixing,production, effects, synthesis, “how to make that sound” tutorials. i personally prefer non video, so I can just leave a window open and go at my own pace.

samples are fine, but really it seems like every magazine you pick up is full of them. that leads me back to universal themes again: not everyone will use D&B samples. if there are to be samples, i would like to see some that can be used to put together a software instrument in a sampler (like exs24).

i loove your Logic tutorials, but realize i can’t beg for ALL LOGIC ALL THE TIME, as there are other folks out there.

More mixing and mastering please, especially in a pure electronic environment. Every book or article you read about this matter is about vocals, guitars, micing drums etc. But how do you mix&master a purely electronic dance track?

Well I would like to see more in-depth tutorials on using the industry standard tools, perhaps some tutorials on creating loops with tools like FL studio. I would also enjoy more general tutorials that allow me to start advancing on certain specific areas. composing and logic tutorials are always welcomed.

I agree that the site needs better organization/navigation. And so far, there is not much content but some of it is very interesting (LOVED the UltraBeat gatesequencer tut!).

Also, while I’d personally love to see more Logic8-targeted stuff, it’s probably appreciated to keep trying to suggest other options on how to achieve similar effects.

Dissecting cool effects often heard in “pro” music, can make good material for a site like this.

I would also like to see a good drum sound tutorial. And I mean, how to roll your own kick/snare/whatever sound. How to make them sound “right”.
Those basic elements are so important; and I can never get them right it seems

Finally, I think some of the tutorials are too thin/too basic. Like the one on how to mix different instruments. What is says is basically: “You should mix different instruments in an interesting way to get an interesting sound”.
It needs more meat than that

I just think most tutorials lack the excitement of the actual creative process and creating something new from the start.

I want to hear the mind of someone.

“Okay I want a synth sound…but it needs space…I am going to start with a triangle wave run it to the lfo…now it feels like it needs some delay…now some distortion…maybe I will cut the low end out…etc”

I would like hearing more about how musicians create. Specifically in the electronic atmospheric genres.

I want some FL Studio tuts please.

i would like to see genre specific tutorials, how to make a dnb break, making a dance beat ect….

I would like to see more recreations of Billboard/Top 10 songs in differnt genres to get a better understanding of the creative process behind the song structure and what made the song a Billboard/Top 10 track.

I feel that you really need to cover more DAW ground than just Logic, particularly since it’s tied to the Apple platform. A platform independent DAW which most beginners can work with would be a smart choice, so I’m thinking probably Live would fit this bill.

It would be nice to be able to cover concepts independent of DAWs, but in reality that’s what we end up interfacing with so it becomes inevitable to have to cover them directly in order to provide the most relevant information.

You know what tutorial I’ve been looking for? Something on background vocals. Getting that nice smooth layered airy sound that doesn’t conflict with the lead vocals. Usually it’s the cheezy backing vocals that give-away an amateur’s song

i would like to see more articles on production techniques used by the pros.
