At Audiotuts+ we irregularly 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 couple of weeks 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.

Improvization Basics: The Pentatonic Scale

Oct 30th in Composition by Joel Falconer

When I was thirteen years old, I decided to teach myself guitar because I loved the way that modern-day guitar heroes (by which I do not mean your chubby ten year old playing with a fake guitar and an Xbox) improvised what seemed like complicated lead pieces on the spot. After hearing the guitar solo Slash played in Sweet Child O’ Mine, I all but forgot to practice chords in search of the ability to play like that.

How to Use Pitch Correction for Vocal Effects

Nov 4th in Logic Pro, Production by Ryan Leach

Auto-tuned vocals are a cool effect have become a standard technique in popular music. The sound can be heard all over pop and electronica from the last decade. A variety of artists use it, from T-Pain to Cher, and even the J-Pop band Perfume from West’s Polyrhythm tutorial . Even President Obama has gotten in on it (well, sort of…).

Author Interview: Norralt

Adrian — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:00:55 +0000

This week in our series of interviews of AudioJungle authors, we meet…

Norralt (Björn Norralt)

1. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from, what do you do for a living?

Hello! I’m a 22-year-old guy from Estonia. I’m studying history at Tartu University and I earn my living with some short-term jobs translating texts and teaching people to play the guitar etc. I never had a decent job really, and am unemployed at the moment as well, as there really are no jobs at this time. So I found out about AudioJungle and decided to give it a try. At least it’s an opportunity to earn some money to cover the expenses that a musician often comes to.

2. How long have you been composing music and what got you started producing?

I’ve been composing music almost all my life. I remember around 13 or 14 years ago I first tried composing a song myself. As my father used to be a musician at the end of the 1980s, he gave me a lot of tips and I began to like this new hobby of mine more and more.

In 2004 (I guess ) my father bought me Steinberg Cubase SX3 for a present and also some hardware equipment to run the program. I had tried out Fruity Loops Studio before, but producing and especially recording with it was the biggest pain ever. So I could say that I started producing in 2004, and it was probably the best time of my life .

3. Do you play any instruments? Do you have any formal music training?

The only instrument I ever really learnt was the guitar. I started playing it about 6 years ago starting with the basic chords, and gradually I began to prefer the electric guitar. I think the only disadvantage I ever had was that I learnt the guitar myself, so it took me quite a long time to master the instrument. On the other hand, I understand all the possible mistakes there are, and the people I’m teaching now have probably a really good teacher

Although I only really-really learnt the guitar, I also play the piano, the bass, the drums, and the harmonica. But playing them is quite hard for me and I prefer writing music for those instruments for someone else to play.

Regarding formal training, I went to a musical school for a year and learnt the clarinet. That was a difficult time for me, because the school I attended at this time was the worst nightmare in my location. You really had to study hard to just pass – getting an A was nigh impossible. So I had to quit the musical school and teach myself.

4. Could you describe to us your home studio and the equipment and software you typically use to produce audio?

My home studio is actually quite simple. The have hardware I have for recording includes:

a little analog mixer,
a Hammerfall DSP soundcard,
a tiny little MIDI keyboard by Miditech, and
guitar+bass amps

The main work is done by the software though, as all my EQs, compressors, delays, reverbs etc are software-based. My workstation is Cubase SX3 at the moment, although I’m planning to save some cash to purchase the latest version, as this one is quite old. In my production process I use a lot of VST instruments, like IK Multimedia Philharmonik, KORG synths etc.

In the future I’m planning to get my studio to be more hardware-based to ensure I get the best quality there is.

5. Could you tell us a bit about how you typically compose and then produce your audio? Describe your creative process.

There are two different versions of how the process goes. I either start picking a riff on the guitar and then write it down and play it with different VST instruments, or I just simply start playing something on the MIDI keyboard. In really rare cases the tune comes first, but typically I start with the harmony or just some guitar licks.

6. What genre of music do you enjoy producing for and why?

My favorite genre of all is something between hard rock and power metal. And producing it is the biggest challenge, which is one of the reasons I like to produce it. But as my taste is quite flexible I should also mention classical music, as this is just one of my greatest passions.

7. What kind of things inspire you to create music? Do you have any musical influences?

Most of my inspiration comes for books, movies, and relationships. I try to avoid getting any inspiration from other bands or composers, as I think my work wouldn’t be unique enough then.

8. What genres of music do you listen to in your spare time? Do you have any favorite bands or artists?

I usually listen to hard rock, metal, classical, ballads, and jazz. My favorites are Manowar, AC/DC, Tchaikovsky and an Estonian hard rock and blues singer Gunnar Graps.

9. What is your advice to other AudioJungle authors regarding how to create a successful portfolio of audio?

As I’m quite new on Envato networks, I haven’t reached the best strategy myself yet. But I think the best way to have a successful portfolio is to create something you see could being used somewhere.

10. What do you do to market your AudioJungle files?

Well, usually I just hope that my files stay on the front page among the new stuff for a while, so that the customers of the network can see them right away.

11. What are your three favorite tracks in your AudioJungle portfolio and why do you like them?

Right now I think the best three are:

Sweet Etude because it really took me a lot of time to compose it and ensure that it was excellent enough as a whole work. It’s also a good example of the kind of music I usually do.

Ethnic Loop for exactly the opposite reason: it’s something I’ve never done before.

Childhood Mood as it’s really easy, and I worked a lot with the tune.

12. Apart from yourself, who is your favorite AudioJungle author and why do you like them?

I like vice_and_virtue as the rock loops really rock!

13. If you could change anything about AudioJungle, what would it be?

There could be a notification e-mail about the earnings. When I’m away from home, I can’t go to the internet to check if anything has happened, but I receive my e-mails to my cell-phone, so it could be really useful.

14. Could you tell us about some of your audio projects outside of AudioJungle? What have been some of your biggest audio successes so far?

I compose music for my band Catnap, where I’m the vocalist. We entered a great competition called Evolution2 at a German portal www.hobnox.com. We got to the finals, but didn’t win.

I have also performed as a single-artist with a guitar, playing ballads, and composed some music to amateur movies.

15. When you aren’t busy creating music, what do you like to do in your spare time?

I like reading books, watching movies and just partying with friends. The rock’n’roll lifestyle is what you would notice about me if we met

Get Your Own Radio Station with Blip.fm

Daniel Keller — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:35:35 +0000

Blip.fm is a free service where you can post music from around the net. You type in your favorite artist or song and it does a search through social networks like Youtube, Imeem and more. If Last.fm is like a musical MySpace, Blip.fm is kind of a Twitter clone for music lovers.

I’ve been a Blip.fm DJ since May, and I’m very happy with the service. To be honest, I only started blipping about a month ago. If you sign up for an account and blip just one track, you officially have a radiostation! Check out mine at blip.fm/danielku.

You can choose a song by clicking on “Blip” on one of the results, then add a message like, “That’s classic, love this song from Daft Punk, take a listen”. Blip.fm can auto-post your blips to Twitter every time you blip a song. You only have to add your Twitter account details in the settings.

A blip is a combination of 1) a song and 2) a short message that accompanies it. The way you create a blip is to first search for a song that you want to hear (or a song that you want your listeners to hear), then add a short message (under 150 characters), finally you submit it. Submitting a blip is also referred to as “blipping”, so from here on out, when you read “he blipped my favorite track” it means “he submitted a blip that had my favorite song attached.” (Blip.fm FAQ).

If you click on the “Public” button you see the newest blips in real time without having to refresh your browser. This also lets other people see your blips, and if they like them they can favorite your song, buy it on Amazon or iTunes, give you props for it, or reblip your track through buttons in the right bottom corner of every blip.

If someone gives you props for a song, you can give someone else props for a song, or even the person that gave you props. But you can only give three props a day to each person. If you add a DJ to your favorites they appear on your Home section, where you see which songs your favorite DJ’s blip. You get listeners from time to time, which you can compare to followers on Twitter. You get badges on your avatar when you reach 100 listeners, 250 listeners, 500 listeners and so on. So far I have 17 listeners.

On Blip.fm props are tokens of respect that can be given from one DJ to another – say for blipping a good song or being a good DJ in general. Everyone starts with 10 credits that they can use to give props to other DJ’s. As you earn props from the community, your props will increase and so will the credits you have to give. 1 props earned = 1 credit in your bank. The number of props you’ve earned can only go up, but the credits you have goes down as you use them throughout the site. (Blip.fm FAQ)

If you like to take your music with you, there is an iPhone app for Blip.fm called “Boombox Pro” which costs maybe like $3 (I use the Swiss store so I’m not sure). You can add your Blip id and start searching and blipping music on the go.

In my opinion has Blip.fm a really good way to promoting your own music, finding new music and getting inspiration. It’s the radio of the future.

17 Amazing Ableton Live Tutorials

Adrian — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 07:56:47 +0000

Ableton Live is a DAW that’s not only good at producing music, but it’s also useful when you’re playing live. It’s available for both PCs and Macs, so just about anyone can use the software.

One of Live’s unique features is its session view. This is a non-linear grid for recording and playing your music ideas in any order.

The program can deal with MIDI and audio, supports VST instruments, and has great looping features. It is flexible for musicians, and loved by DJs.

The program was first released in 2001, and version 8 came out in April of this year. An LE version is also available.

Last week’s article covered Live’s history and features. This week we learn how to use it. Here are 17 tutorials coming from Ableton, Youtube and Audiotuts+. Most cover the current version of Live, but a few cover version 7 where the same techniques still apply.

1. Ableton Inc’s Channel

Ableton have their own Youtube channel of useful tutorials. They don’t allow us to embed the tutorials here (though a few sneak in below), but you can see them for yourself here.

2. Make Music with Ableton Live

“Ableton Live is about making music. When you’re writing and composing, Live is quick and responsive. When you want to record and develop your ideas, Live has the depth and toolset for intricate production. It’s got the features to take your DJ skills to the next level and it’s stable and flexible on stage, whether you’re playing in front of 10 or 10,000 people. However and wherever you make music, whatever music you make, Live will inspire you.”

3. Making Electro House Music in Ableton Live

This video show you how Timofey works with Ableton Live to make electro house music.

4. Ableton Live 8: Quantizing Audio

“Berkleemusic instructor Loudon Stearns covers the usage of warp markers, transient detection, and quantizing of audio new in Ableton Live 8.”

5. Recording Guitar in Ableton Live 7

“Huston Singletary takes you through the process of recording guitar tracks within the Live 7 Arrangement View.”

6. Sidechain Compression in Ableton Live 8

“Huston Singletary explains and demonstrates the popular “pumping and breathing” effect used on countless electronic and dance tracks. Live 8’s intuitive Compressor-Sidechain effect is explained and a custom preset is created in the studio showing the characteristics of this classic audio effect.”

7. Ableton Live Tutorial – The Reverse Vocal Effect

“In this tutorial we show you how pull of a neat vocal technique used in the industry time and time again – and it sounds great! This can be used in many genres of music, maybe as a lead into the chorus, or in a breakdown, and is also used in movie soundtracks…nice!”

8. Ableton Live 8: Looper

“Huston Singletary talks about the “Looper” included in Ableton Live 8 at Winter NAMM 2009.”

9. Understanding Ableton Live 8’s New Groove Engine

Jun 11th in Ableton Live, Production by Mo Volans

Ableton has introduced a huge list of new features into the latest version of Live. Amongst some of the highlights are new instruments, new warp algorithms and even several new effects plug-ins.

All these features are impressive (and some of them definitely deserve their own tutorials), but one of the most important updates for many users is the introduction of a brand new groove engine, so let’s get stuck in and see how it works.

10. How to Use Ableton’s Beat Repeat Effect for Live Performance

Feb 27th in Ableton Live, Mixing & Mastering by Mo Volans

It’s not exactly news that a lot of people see Ableton Live as one of the best pieces of software for live performance. After relying on Live and a laptop for loads of gigs around the globe, I can fully recommend it as a tool capable of delivering the results. The interface is clear and luckily it hasn’t crashed on me yet.

With so many effects to choose from I’ve decided to cover one that has seemed to remain a constant crowd pleaser throughout my live career and that’s the extremely usable ‘Beat repeat’ effect. I’ll walk through how to map its key parameters to a control surface and then show some quick examples of how it can be tweaked with only a few knobs for maximum impact when playing live.

11. Warping Tunes for Live Sets with Ableton Live

Dec 17th in Ableton Live, Mixing & Mastering by Mo Volans

Ableton is fast becoming the tool of choice for the digital DJ and has just about every tool you could ask for when putting together a live show or DJ set. One of the most important parts of getting things right on the night is syncing individual beats or entire tracks and if you want to get things 100% locked down the best strategy is to warp your files before the show.

Warp markers are small flags that Ableton uses to cut audio into small portions, these portions can then be shifted back and forth as the tempo of your project is changed. This basically means that the audio takes on an elastic nature and can be played back at any tempo without suffering from the degradation and anomalies related to traditional time stretching.

12. How to Add the Experimental to Electronica, Part 1

Nov 10th in Ableton Live, Composition by Paul Taylor

It’s a bit of a shame that the abstract electronica genre isn’t thriving commercially the way it used to be. The heyday of labels like Warp Records and Planet Mu has long gone, and very few experimental electronica producers are making a living from their music.

That said, there’s a great wealth of absolutely amazing free electronica out there. I’d recommend any fan of electronic music to take a listen to the brilliant Bleepshow podcast for many fantastic examples. It’s a highly creative area, and one which needs a constant supply of fresh talent, so it’s a good time to get started!

13. How to DJ with Ableton Live

Oct 2nd in Ableton Live, Djing by Solaremusic

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.

14. Create Generative Ambient Music in Ableton Live

Aug 11th in Ableton Live, Composition by Ray Chemo

In this tutorial we are going to use Ableton Live’s innovative follow actions to create generative music in the form of some electronic wind chimes. When writing generative music we look at composition from a different angle. Instead of composing melodies and writing arrangements, we define a number of fixed parameters and let the music write itself! Wind chimes are prehaps the most common example of generative music—a term coined by ambient pioneer Brain Eno.

15. Producing and Mastering a DJ Set

May 22nd in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Mixing & Mastering by Mo Volans

So you have your beat mixing down to a fine art and you have a great collection of tunes. You have recorded your latest live show or have put the finishing touches on a promotional set in the studio. The question is what do you do now?

To turn the recording into a really listenable product it’s a good idea to apply some basic mastering and ensure that it’s in the right format. It’s also important to be able to insert track markers if you intend to burn to CD. Here are a few tips to get you going.

16. How to Make an Insane ‘Plucky’ Trance Lead

Aug 8th in Ableton Live, Production by Paul Taylor

The lead sound is the key to any track: pick a clichéd or dull-sounding lead and you’ll multiply the amount of work you need to do in order to create a memorable record. Obviously, your own creativity is vital when creating an original lead, but it certainly pays to know the territory before you embark….

17. Make and Mix a Running 16th-note Bassline

Jul 4th in Ableton Live, Production by Paul Taylor

In this tutorial, we’re going to learn how to make and mix a “running” 16th-note bassline. You’ll hear this in countless dance genres such as techno and even breaks, but it’s become synonymous with trance over the years.

Scott — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 23:54:30 +0000

Finding the right piece of audio for any kind of project can be tricky. This is particularly true for film, where the right choice of audio can make or break a crucial scene. This time of year when dark nights and the even darker shrouds of Halloween are upon us, finding the right cinematic soundscape for a dark film production is essential to capturing the fear and terror among viewers.

Quantizing Audio with Logic Pro 9’s Flex Time

Oct 23rd in Logic Pro, Production by Joel Falconer

Logic Pro 9 introduced the “Flex Time” feature which is a set of tools for manipulating audio rhythm and timing data the way you would edit MIDI. I’m going to be covering Flex Time in detail and how you can use it in detail, but in this tutorial we’ll get our feet wet with some basic audio quantization.

Drum Replacement in Logic

Oct 26th in Logic Pro, Production by Björgvin Benediktsson

The basic rhythm track drives the song forward, and everything else
builds upon it. You may have written your song on an acoustic
guitar and laid that down first, but drums are usually the backbone
of a song, keeping everything well structured and grooving. But what
if you don’t know how to record drums? Or you end up with
someone’s recording that’s so bad that you’d rather tap pencils
on your desk. Drum replacement may be an option.

Recently we showed you how to use Logic Pro 9’s Drum Replacer. This tutorial covers a technique that allows you to fix drum tracks by replacing the drums using previous versions on Logic.
