richter Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 So I had a class assignment -- make 4 cohesive podcasts and publish them online. I was considering making them about cool gadgets/toys, but that's kind of overdone and I honestly couldn't think of 4 cool gadgets that I own. So instead, I opted to provide some very basic music production tutorials (for beginners!). Each episode is about 2:30. They're rushed, sloppy and boring to listen to. And honestly, I suck at music so anybody that listens to me will probably end up making worse crap than they began with, but hey. Episode 1 - Guitar Recording Episode 2 - Lead Synths Episode 3 - Orchestral Strings Episode 4 - Compression (lame) Oh and I used music by Ryan8Bit and Protricity without asking permission. Hi. Enjoy! (Though they suck, I will be pimping this out everywhere, so enjoy seeing this thread duplicated on several sites!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 i gave these a quick listen -- not bad ! you present the material without dwelling too long on any aspect and get the point across with the examples. if you intended to do more of these they would be very welcome in the Guides & Tutorials forum. cheers.

SnappleMan Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 <3 <3 <3 Yeah, this is a fantastic idea! If you're not planning to take this farther, I'm sure someone else here can start a weekly project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I was really considering making one of these on recording electric guitar, because it's the only thing I can do properly. It would be a cool learning experience to actually document and explain what your doing and why you're doing it. Supposedly the best way to learn is to teach. These were cool man. Really well put together, and entertaining to listen to. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degree Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Nice! You should make some more of these.. I learned some very good techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzumebachi Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Fucking massive bonus points for using sonic spinball music. Well done sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richter Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks for listening and especially for the great feedback! I think this format is really working because like analoq said it's pretty terse and gets the job done quickly. MORE TO COME! (read on) I'll be posting this in each thread I made for this podcast, so enjoy the repetition: I just got the parameters for the final assignment today, and one of the options is to record 3 more podcasts! Looks I'll be doing at least that many more. So... I need ideas! Any suggestions on topics to cover? Thanks! SnappleMan I think for a future episode it might be cool to incorporate that awesome FFMQ mastering track you made (if that's cool with you?). Not sure, might not work out for this format...

Dr. Rod Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Actually the compression one was very helpful for me....turns out I had the idea of compression completely wrong, lol. Good stuff : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgx Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Some guy makes a music production podcast. It's called Soundsgood or something like that. Too lazy to get link, but he's like REALLY REALLY german or some euro and has an almost comical accent. He does a pretty good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
