Open Mic: How Did You Soundproof Your Studio?

Posted: 11 Jan 2011 03:51 PM PST

We’re putting together a post on soundproofing a home studio, and would like to include as much of your advice as possible. How did you soundproof your home studio? Where did you purchase the materials? What plans do you have for the future? What issues need to be dealt with? What tricks and tips can you share?

Each week we open our mic to readers and lurkers alike to come out of the woodwork and tell us your thoughts and opinion, your experiences and mistakes, what you love and what you hate. We want to hear from you, and here’s your chance.

Programming Essential Subtractive Synth Patches – Audio Premium

Posted: 11 Jan 2011 12:00 AM PST

In this week’s Audio Premium content, Mo Volans teaches you how to create five essential synth patches. While the screenshots for this tutorial are taken in Propellerhead Reason, the content is not Reason-centric and is equally useful and valuable for any subtractive synth.

To learn more about what you get as part of Audio Premium, read this. To take a peek inside this tutorial, hit the jump!

In some of my recent tutorials I have looked at programming patches that represent the building blocks of subtractive synthesis. In this more extensive offering we’ll round up the sounds covered so far and explore a few others.

I’ve used Reason’s Subtractor throughout this tutorial but you can of course use any subtractive instrument in your collection to recreate the sounds created here. The previous synthesis tutorials I have completed use a few different instruments and should show you that these sounds can be created on just about any synth. Learn to make each of these sounds and you should be well on your way to becoming an accomplished synthesist.
