hey,
i’ve got a couple of ideas / wishes:

* layering kicks (or drum-sounds in genereal)
* How to EQ a stomping dance track
* compressor – how do i compress when and what (single sounds vs whole mix)

i guess thats it from my side

love your site,
keep it up <3

Logic very interested .. learning: techniques for creating sounds … effects … mastering … mix … technical side chain (bass, compressor noise gate …) Today, thanks to you learned new things. Bye

Hi guys, just to remind: if you use the links provided to submit ideas, you’ll have a much better chance of us gauging interest and publishing relevant tutorials.

I think that a series of program tutorials from the basics to the pro…. will be the best choise…. progs like sonar, reason, fl, logic, audition and more….

I submitted my idea, but I’m posting it here also XD

Video+audio tuts. Tutorials on how to get the best audio from a camera, with/without a mic, where to set the mic up, and the whole sha-bang.

I might record a meeting for the local history room, and want to make it good.

thanks.

GarageBand tuts !!!

One thing that’s a bit of a pet peeve for me are all the tutorials for Logic, which is only available for the Mac. With the highest estimates putting Mac use at only 16% of the market, it would be nice if tutorials posted could focus on programs available for other platforms – ideally multiple platforms. If a tutorial is written for Logic, then the writer could at least make some attempt to generalize, or to frame the information in such a way as to make it useful for people who are using other software.

I’d like to see a really in-depth tutorial on Reason’s Redrum covering all the basics, tips and tricks, using it with midi sequencers, and how to customize and tweak it.

I think you guys are doing a great job and I enjoy checking out articles featuring products I don’t even own. Its good to see what’s out there and what they are capable so keep up the good work.

I have been enjoying the tutorials that demonstrate real world examples (i.e. how to recreate a sound/song or creating specific patches for a certain sound)

would love to see a tut for recording bass direct. I can’t seem to get a heavy, pronounced bass guitar sound in my recordings.

Id just like to echo the first comment, more on compression within single elements to sub mixes to mastering compression. Layering kicks and EQ im fairly comfortable with but might still learn a thing or two.

Thanks for all the tutorials so far and i will continue you to come here and read these fine tutorials!

Personally I find tuts about how to achieve a certain sound or effect very interesting, for instance; in computer music magazine they often feature tuts on how to sound like a certain band or a specific song, it is interesting to see the practices and methods used by different producers. I have to admit that I don’t get as much enjoyment from articles about musicians or songs.

In response to Bob Grove….. While Macs may only constitute 16% of the market, the audio industry is DOMINATED by Mac users.

I would like to see some in-depth tutorials on basic Reason tools.
I would also like to see different ways to make instruments in Reason sound more realistic/commercially sounding.

I wrote this up yesterday and posted it in make suggestion but I’m copy and pasting here.

Hey Guys

first up nice work on this site looks nice, simple and its informative.

I agree with Shiny Box about some synth tuts but instead of the run of the mill look this is a oscillator this is a filter approach,

maybe some thats more like
create a mysterious the matrix style scene transition In Sound Design by W. Brent Latta
So programing a Synth with a clear goal
And I think you should focus on free synths that are mac/pc available so all could follow through
Even though I use Logic 8

More Cubase tutorials instead of Logic. Also more dance related tutorials would be nice! Keep it up!

Hi,

I enjoy seeing all of the tuts on how to use specific apps to manipulate sounds. I’m specifically interested in how to create soundscapes that manipulate and mix acoustic and electronic sources, though I don’t have much experience with the electronic media.

Please, please, please: lose these current web roundups. They are not informative or interesting.

The web roundups on other sites like PSTUTS feature other great tutorials or art made using similarly creative techniques.

I’d really like to see the work of small independent artists featured in a web roundup rather than “5 Music Badasses Who’ve Lost Their Way.” That seems better suited for a site about pop starts rather than sound design and production.

Thanks for the opportunity to put my 2 cents in.

garageband !!

Mike – that is becoming less and less true in all areas, and besides, I think that my point is an important one. It would be great if tutorials specific to certain software spoke in terms general enough that people could transfer the information to their own setup. This would benefit ALL users, regardless of platform.

how to record a funky guitar loop.

I create mostly sample based hip hop and r&b using Reason much like an SP1200 and Garageband for vocals and then send my work out to mastering for a bigger better sound. I’m interested in tutorials much like the “Game” and “Soulja Boy” ones.. and anything to do with Reason and Garageband. I like to see a tutorial on creating the T-Pain effect without using Autotunes but by tweaking your software programs built in effects.

But I read it all… anything and everything whether it’s my genre of music or not… so just keep em coming…

Some things I’d like to see…

GarageBand
EQ’ing individual tracks
EQ’ing at the master track level
Mastering
Recording processes (Lay down a click track, record drums, then guitar, etc.)
Recording background vocals

HARDWARE

How can I set up my TC Electronics D-two rack unit to my Mbox interface using Logic 8.
Which way would be the best rout to take to keep the best sound integrity?

I’d like to see tutorials on techno or something like that rather than hip-hop.

post questions with sound samples from big dominant producers, to get everybody here to recompile this samples…
lets say this heavy grizzly synth from this neuro break track…post a little sample of that sound and lets see if we can reanimate this sound…i’ll be fun…and educational too proving that we know somethings beside the generic t-pan and bunch of compression and limiters tutorials…
