Audio Production Software

In the second installment of my “Synth School” series I’ll be staying on the Subtractor synth but looking at the Filter sections, Amp Envelope, Filter Envelope, and Mod Envelope sections. The masters of synth production are masters of these tools. Something as simple as a Low Pass filter when paired with the right chord progression can lift the entire club crowd into a frenzy. The proper Amp Envelope can bring out the vibe in your song. These are powerful tools to conveying and even evoking strong emotion from what sometimes are rather sterile starting melodies or chords.

As always, I encourage you to play around with them on your own to get a feel for how they behave and interact with each other but today I’ll walk you through each slider and button and show you a little of my own experimentation.

http://www.OnlyGoodGuide.com/beat-maker — Basics For The Amateur Beat Maker

Beat making is about passion.

If you don’t have the determination and love for the profession then you will struggle to make anything significant.

In most cases beat makers teach others to be beat makers. You will definitely need a good role model who is an established beat maker in your area.

Such a mentor will teach you the first tricks of how to make beats as well as introduce you to the best software on the market.

After you have a mentor you should get your own beat making software. Make a choice depending on what you’re comfortable with.

Master the software you choose and be the king in your area.

Beat making software aren’t enough. You must invest in real equipment.

This means buying a guitar or even a keyboard. This equipment will make your music different and more appealing since it’s original analogue.

The other good thing about getting equipment is that you will be diverse in your live music performances.

Once you have all the above in place the next step is to make simple beats.

Complicated beats are naturally hard to make if you’re still learning.

Moreover complicated beats can demotivate you because they take longer to make.

The moment you start making decent beats start inviting musicians to record on your beats.

The best way to start is by distributing free copies instead of trying to sell them.

This exposure will give you a sense of achievement that will boost your confidence even more.

The two most important things a successful DJ requires, to put it in a nutshell, are constant practice and utter dedication. All pieces of sophisticated equipment, latest software, choice of songs are only next in importance. The right software, mixing boards and techniques are certainly needed for a good DJ, but it really takes a lot of practice and dedication to be recognized as a good DJ.

First of all, be clear about your priorities and goals. Are you going to remain only as an online DJ? Are you planning to DJ at bars or clubs? What sort of music you intend providing your hearers and what type of audience you want to cater to? What do you do best and what are your relative strengths and weaknesses? Make it a point to answer these questions faithfully and driven by a greed to earn more money.

It is absolutely essential that to succeed as a good DJ, you must have a passion for music and willing to enlarge your music vocabulary. You have to be willing to get that new CD, to search for those less-heard songs for your audience. You are not required to be a musical wizard, but you have to be fairly knowledgeable about music, current trends, important artists and all the finer details about music that matter. A fair knowledge of music not only allows you to recognize and discuss songs, but also helps you with mixing them. Most people strongly suggest buying an iPod or similar media player and keenly listen to music that you like as also all the music that you are unfamiliar with. By listening to music your unfamiliar with you get exposed to new artists and tracks and it helps you make important connections between different songs.

This type of constant listening also enables you to observe how other successful and better-known DJs do it. Choose two or three DJ’s whom you admire or would like to emulate and go to their shows regularly. Listen to how they mix their music, how they perform, you will learn a lot first-hand from listening to others. Make it a point to spend at least an hour a day to music or radio stations, to gather new music and related information. Yet another important thing is to be everwatchful about  people’s reactions. Assuming you were out on a Saturday and heard the same album cuts and mixtape songs coming out of three or four different vehicles, you can rest assured that those tracks would work for you that night just as well as any other hit.

With the passage of time, mobile phones have donned new mantles and taken on new roles. Sophisticated handsets that can offer quite a lot more than mere “mobile connectivity” have taken the place of unassuming mobile phones of yesteryears. Some of the latest handsets, for instance, are being used for accessing information from the internet - sounds unbelievable, but it is true! Many mobile phones are also being used as digital cameras, as video recorders and as music players. Sony mobiles are appreciated for their inherent mobile music capabilities. The Sony Ericsson W850i is one of the latest handsets from this series, which is mesmerizing users with an “out-of-the-world” mobile music experience.

A walkman branded mobile phone from Sony Ericsson, this Sony mobile comes with an mp3 player, stereo handset as well as exhaustive memory to store all the music tracks and albums. Music management software is embedded in this mobile phone; this ensures that music can be transferred easily from CDs to the phone via personal computers. There is a stereo headset to personalize the listening experience for a user. The sound output is highly impressive and an owner can easily download and enjoy music tracks and albums all at the click of a button.

This Sony mobile is unique in its own way the handset can recognize music. A part of an unknown song or music track can be recorded; the specialized capabilities of this mobile phone can then be used to know the name of the song, name of the artist as well as the name of the album in which the song is featured. A 2.0 megapixel digital camera with a 4x digital zoom and a second camera used for making video calls are the two key imaging options of theSony Ericsson W850i mobile phone. An owner of this Sony mobile can see the expression on the face of loved ones and talk face-to-face with them in real time! This sleek, elegant and compact mobile phone with sophisticated music options and advanced multimedia capabilities is leaving a definite impression on phone users, the world over. Sony Ericsson W850i

Who will read this article: If you have interest on running your video hosting services, you wanna create your own video sharing site on Linux server with thousands upon thousands of visitors and video clips hosted just like YouTube, iFilm, Break or other famous video sharing sites do, this tutorial may tell you how to make the first step.

1. What is YouTube?

—————From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

YouTube is a video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. YouTube was created in mid-February 2005 by three former PayPal employees. The San Bruno-based service uses Adobe Flash technology to display a wide variety of user-generated video content, including movie clips, TV clips and music videos, as well as amateur content such as video blogging and short original videos.

2. How to design YouTube Website?

To design a website like YouTube, there are 3 main tools that you have to use. They are Web design software like Dreamweaver or FrontPage and tools for active page development; sever-based video to flash video converter like Adobe® Flash® Media Interactive Server 3; flash video player maker like Moyea Web Player Pro. Then I would like to show you how to design a YouTube website step-by-step.

Firstly, to design a website, we have to use some web design tools. Currently, Dreamweaver and FrontPage are commonly used by most web designers. You can streamline your development workflow by creating and editing images in Fireworks and flash works in Adobe Flash CS3 or CS4 Professional, and then import them directly into Dreamweaver. You have to develop customer interaction system, like login, logout and register system, upload system, database system to store the information of customers and videos uploaded by customers, which require active page technique, like ASP.NET, PHP, Java, etc. You can use PHP code to handle the active page, Linux Apache server as your server and MySQL Database as your database system. You have to install all these tools in the machine and set up the development environment correctly to make sure they work right together.

Secondly, after the web page completed, because it is sure that the videos uploaded by people would be much unorderly, then YouTube must contain a video to flash video (.flv) converter that can convert all kinds of video files which are uploaded by all customers to flash video (.flv) format file; YouTube needs software which can make these video files standardization including format standardization, size standardization, WxH standardization, etc. More important, this software must have the ability of contain any numbers of video files that are uploaded by the people all over the world to flash video (.flv) file. Meanwhile, this software must have the ability of crop and trim video files.

As far as I know, Adobe® Flash® Media Interactive Server 3 can complete these tasks. Adobe® Flash® Media Interactive Server 3 software has the unique combination of powerful streaming media capabilities and a flexible environment for creating and delivering interactive social media applications to the broadest possible audience. So Adobe® Flash® Media Interactive Server 3 is great if you can afford it. However I think there are plenty of other solutions to accomplish the same end goal.

Last but not the least, there must have a flash video (.flv) player that can play the videos uploaded by all people. Therefore, YouTube needs a flash video player maker to make a flash video player to play these flash video files. However, there are some basic requirements to the flash video player maker. The generated flash video player has to play any number of flash videos with a single flash video player, as it is impossible that one player plays only one flash video file. It has to be with scrollable thumbnail play list, and so on.

To this point, Moyea Web Player Pro can do that, I also use it on my own website. It is a multifunctional flash video player maker. With it, you can design your own player user interface and create a scrollable thumbnail play list, you can add advertisements to the flash videos. It is a pretty interesting program. The generated flash video player can add single or multiple videos in many formats to website. The flash video player supports playback of video formats that the Adobe Flash Player can handle, such as FLV, MOV, MP4, 3GP, 3G2 and H264.

However, it is very complicated to fully realize functions of YouTube. I am sorry for not being able to  write all details on it. I hope this article can function as a general guide.
