Yeah, I'm not too sure what's up with that. One of their blog entries says that they "sacked off the old website" (but "don't worry - it'll be back"), so maybe they'll be back online. If not, I can try to contact them and see if they'll let me host some of them elsewhere, but failing that I'll just have to remove them.

Too bad, I think those free tutorials are good business - I know a few people who have bought a few issues after reading those.

Yeah, I didn't want to go there because if CM removed them for some specific reason then they might get pissed off that somebody's linking to them and have them removed from the archive. But I guess now that you've already mentioned it, yes, you can still get all those tutorials from the wayback machine.

I thought about that too, but in the end decided to post the link so ppl who need them can get them while they are still available.

Synth Secrets: Links to All Parts

A directory for a very large (40+ parts) series on all different types of synthesis by Sound on Sound. Quite informative.

I'd add this, but I'm too lazy atm so I'll come back and do it later.

Equalizing for Dummies

I added the "for Dummies" tutorials, you were takin' too long.

Props to you guys for creating this thread and the information that is in it. As someone who is just starting the journey of production, this is by far the best collection of information I have come across in searching for info on the net.

Props to TA's.

Update: Video tutorials finally added! (Thanks Adam)

I think these two would be worth adding to the Mastering
section.

If one wanted to start making music from scratch, in which order should he begin to learn all the different parts of production ?

Should he go with musical theory first ? Or could he start directly with understanding how a sequencer works, then go on with the EQ & Compression techniques ?

I'm must admit that I'm a bit lost...

Well, do you want to make music?

If yes, then music theory should be first. Seems obvious.

Various good quality tutorials here and updated regularly.

heya,

Many people asked for an update on this via e-mail and myspace pm's, so I thought it was time to write a decent document about kick drums, but this time on how to make them from scratch with an fm synth.

You can find it:

Enjoy

Make Your Own Web SnapShot Tutor

Here is how you make a snapshot tutor

Creating the Worksheet

Bellow between the nfo tags i have made the simple htm code for you
Select all the text and do copy

Make a folder somewhere on your computer
Go inside that folder and right click inside
Then you create an untitled.txt with notepath
Open it and you do edit\paste to paste the html text you copied

Save the text file like
My Tutor WorkSheet.txt

Then save it again
But now you change the format at the save box
On the bottom is the HTML format
Save it as
My Tutor Name Of It.htm

If you click the HTM than the paged tutor will apear
We open the My Tutor WorkSheet.txt
Now edit the text we want in there
And we start building the pictures

The Pictures

Important to know is where you put the pictures to make them shown on page

You will have the main folder MY TUTOR
MY TUTOR\My Pictures Folder\The Picture 001.JPG

The htm will have to be here else it cant see the pictures
MY TUTOR\My Tutor Name Of It.htm

How to make your own SnapShots

Push this button on your pc keyboard it will make a snapshot of your desktop
PrtSc
SysRq

Then right click somewhere to do NEW\Make Bitmapfile Untitled.bmp
You open that bitmap file or just edit another .JPG on your pc and save with a different name later
Then EDIT and PASTE
PrintScreen copied the desktop to its notepath so paste will bring up the needed picture at the jpg-bmp

Now edit the picture to only show what you want to show
Save the picture inside the folder which you made for it
I would change the bmp to jpg because JPG takes a lot less mb's

Repeat all the steps you want to show and edit the text
On the end save the txt for backup purposes
Then save as a htm again replace the old file
And open the My Tutor Name Of It.htm to see your changes

Easiest way to sample your VSTi to SF2 [Chainer]

Sometimes you get a VSTi and you realy only use some presets
Having the whole VSTi on takes mb's and cpu when you use the sound
So sampling those sounds whoom you like a lot would be the solution
Another situation
You made a fabulous Superstring and want to play a chord with it
Because of the Unison you cant play a chord with it
Simply sample the sound that you made and then you can play chords on it while keeping the powerfull sound

This way you get the result as SF2 [uncompressed] or wav
SF2 is readable and convertable to many formats and has a preset
And you can make multisample presets and even multi VSTi

So how big the preset ends up is all up to you
Just imagine loading up various VSTi synths and play them at ones
On top of that you can put VST Plugins
Thats a way to build SUPER FAT VOICES

Here's a simple way to do this in a blink of the eye
As a standalone without the need of your sequencer

Get Xlutop Chainer v1.03
http://www.xlutop.com/html/chainer.html

Install and run it
then it will automaticly search for your VST and VSTi PlugIns

-Load a VSTi at your first sloth ,Click the arrow ,Left Top
Now you can play your midi keyboard and hear the sound

-Editor 1 Gives you the VSTi Popup
-Editor 2 Gives you some editor sliders
At the end Double Click the presetname and copy it [Exit = Press Enter]

Goto FILE / EXPORT

Now set your save to folder
Push the Browse buton behined FILENAME and browse to a folder on your hd
Paste the presetname as filename and set format to SF2 and enter

Right click on the keys of the virtual midikeyboard to hear the sound
Left to select a note to be sampled [Left again to unselect]

I select C1 as the first note Then six notes up the next till F#5
Ending with 10 samples thats 8.24 mb

You can adjust the Hold [ms] to make longer or shorter samples
I put it on 4000 That way i can edit it later to make a perfect loop

Hit export and your good to go

AKAI Images ISO,BIN,NRG & How 2 Create Your Own AKAI CD

AKAI Images are NEVER directly Read-able on Your PC
THAT IS NOT AN ERROR OR A FAKE!!!
Use CDXtract to read the CD

WHY ????
--------------
AKAI samples are made on an AKAI Formated Disc
[Thats WHY your pc-mac Can't directly read from the cd and you need CDXtract]

Creating An AKAI CD From GIGA Files:
You can make E-MU, Ensoniq, Yamaha CD's this way too
use Chicken.Systems.Translator

GIGA TO AKAI:
1] open chicken
2] hit drives-folders
3] select the folder with the giga files
4] R-click the folder do convert as AKAI-fILE iMAGE
5] Select destination folder
6] You get .ak 1 files

Creating An AKAI CD:
1] Open Chicken
2] 6e icon = Create Virtual Drive
3] Now you can set the wanted size
4] Inside Chicken Select the folder that holds the ak 1 files
Right screne shows the ak 1 file
Left scroll down to the Virtual Rom You PRE-MADE
Select the files you want to drop into the partition
And just drag and drop the ak 1 files into the EMPTY PARTITION

Run the IMG with Deamon and Read it with CDXtract

How To Check Your Image Before Calling It Corrupted PC:

1] put the image [iso,nrg ,bin] in DEAMON
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/index.php

2] put the image [iso,nrg ,bin] in Alcohol 120%

3] put the image [iso,nrg ,bin] in CDXtract virtual image

4] Then try if CDXtract can see any of the sounds on any one of the virtual drives

5] Then do a check if CDXtract is WORKING ok and i'll test a tested ok
akai sample cd to see if you CAN see sounds on THAT disc

6] put the image [iso,nrg ,bin] in VF Editor
This one can take stuf from your cd if others can't read it

If your .iso looks like a .rar file do this to avoid problems
Open rar and go to options/settings/Integration/UN-SELECT ISO

This way you wont think you can un-rar your .iso

.toast:
-------
Just change name.toast TO name .iso
Toast is the MAC extention for an iso image

Change .toast to .iso is ONLY needed for PC users
Because we can't use .toast it's for MAC

Image:=.iso/.bin-cue/.nrg
------
An image is the CD-ROM as data ,You can BURN .iso on a CD
On the iso image is an AKAI sample cd
You can use the cd for your hardware sampler and some soft samplers

DEAMON virtual-ROM:
-------------------
You can also download DEAMON virtual-ROM image reader
With that soft you can load the image and use the stuf from the cd WITHOUT burning it

CDXtract:
---------
CDXtract can read Images from DEAMON-Alcohol And CDXtract [Virtual Drives]
This is the most used way to check if the image is OK before burning it
You can also use CDXtract to convert AKAI to other formats like
GIGA-PULSAR STS-SOUNDFRONT-AKAI S5k/6k-AKAI MPC-KURZWEIL-VSampler2
