I REALLY want to keep up the super-simple-beginner tutorials but have been terrible at doing it.  I meant to post this last week or so but here is a quickie for Pro Tools users.  If I dont talk they seem to go a LOT faster.  So that will be one of my goals.  Yes, to [...]

I have been meaning to make it “official” for a while so now is as good a time as any: I love Clip Gain.  If you are running Pro Tools 10, Congratulations.  If not this may be transferable to other DAW’s but I doubt it.  Actually what clip gain does is not brand new.  It allows you [...]

The video tutorial was conducted by Lou Medina at TM Studios for 360 Country. I commandeered it. I saw him doing this with some muddy VO and asked him to put the trick to video.

Here is one way to incorporate TEMPO EFFECTS, and maybe the easiest, to get an OBVIOUS and QUICK result. You always want to make the Vocal track sound “interesting.”

The idea is to create a few extra tracks, do some settings tweaks and add some plug-ins so that in the future you will have a slew of commonly used vocal tricks, instantly. I wouldn’t say this is the most basic of tricks but is pretty easy. Production 102 (if not 101).

I would love to say I know the right answer when it comes to applying any types of audio processing plug-ins. BUT sadly the more I work with audio, and different types of audio like voice or guitar or basses or beats, I feel like I know less.

From time to time I try to create some good (or perhaps just slightly useful) tutorial videos.  I have been amping up my imaging voice over business lately.  I have multiple clients that like me to send the read in multiple filters each time.  In fact, I know Jeff Berlin mentioned this type of thing [...]

I was thinking of starting a new section called “Just the Tip” but that would be a bit juvenile and pedantic even for me.  I still might but for now here is a submitted “tip” which I also use so I can attest it works very well! Just heard you saying something about sending you [...]

A quick tutorial on how to save and then load your own presets in plug-ins within pro tools

Hey Prod nerds (like me), I grabbed Stutter Edit from Izotope the instant it was released.  I had been waiting on this for over a year and can say I love it immediately.  I can’t do a full review yet as I just used it on a basic drum loop for now, which you can [...]

I have been working with the guys at Benztown Video Tutorial 002: FX on the Fly from

This is my first tutorial for Benztown Branding’s Blog.  (be kind) You have many tracks and you want to “effect” them the same way.  You do NOT want to instantiate the same plug-ins many times.  This may help. Vimeo.
