Workshop #12: Maybe by David White
Nov 13th in General by Adrian Try
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.
How to Edit All Your Takes At Once in Logic Pro 9
Nov 14th in Logic Pro, Mixing & Mastering by Joel Falconer
Let’s say you’ve just finished a day of tracking and you have a whole bunch of takes for one vocal part thanks to Logic’s comping feature. But at the last minute it’s decided that two lines should be switched around for creative reasons, or a certain word should be sung closer to the beat. It would be a waste of time and money to go back to the tracking phase, but it’s going to be hard to choose the best comp without being able to preview the changes. How do you edit them all at once so you can judge each take? Logic Pro 9 allows you to do so.

How to Create a Finished CD with Apple’s Waveburner
Nov 16th in Mixing & Mastering, Production by Mo Volans
Although there isn’t as much use for CD’s in the production process as there used to be, many of us still like to have our finished album or mix on a professionally presented disc.
For all you Mac users, this tutorial will show you how to use Apple’s Waveburner to get that finished project on to a CD with individual track markers and a professional polished sound. If you are a Windows user and would like to see the equivalent in an application like Wavelab please let me know in the comments section.

3 Differences Between Live and Studio Mixing
Nov 18th in Mixing & Mastering by Björgvin Benediktsson
Live sound mixing varies greatly from studio mixing. The fast paced adrenaline rush of the concert venue versus the calmer and quieter work area of the recording studio. Studio mixers can take their time while the live sound tech has to think quickly and react in real time so the difference can be significant, even though some might say they are doing the exact same thing. Besides this, there is also a difference in their workstations. Mixing desks in a live situation can be very different than the one used in a big recording studio. Let’s go through some of the main differences between both the mixing desks and their
respective users.
