This is an excellent idea - however I am not quite sure if there could be copyright issues.
Does anybody here have any knowledge about that? |

Many of the computer music type magazines end up having to write multiple columns/articles to cater for the different major software sequencers (nevermind the other types of software). SoS (my favourite) for instance has specialist monthly columns for Protools, Logic, Cubase/Nuendo, Sonar, DP, Reason, Live!. What they have found is that it is very hard to write a generic piece that works across different platforms as each has subtle, and not so subtle, ways of doing things - as an example, Live! is very much clip/sample based whilst Cubase is much more a traditional sequencer; Reason operates largely as a 'self contained rack recording studio' whereas most others are open ended - so much so that they arguably lack Reason's integration. Further some support certain formats/styles/themes and others do not; some support and have included certain additional vsts, vsti. All that is even before you get into issues between pc vs mac vst versus other formats and so on. On a personal level I use Live!, Reaper and Reason (along with other software like Melodyne) and have used hardware and software for a few years - they are very different environments imo.
Maybe what would be a way forward is not to do a software based series of lessons but one much more generalised as a series on recording whether its hardware or software based? For instance - how to set up and mic; difference between set up for live vs studio; rendering and formats; lessons on eq, pre and post fade and mastering; compression and shelving; side chaining effects; level, distortion, balance, placement; reverb, when and how; microphone - types, position, suitability, how to mic an acoustic guitar and eq it vs an electric combo vs an electric stack etc etc etc. Just a thought.

QUOTE (Kristofer Dahl @ Sep 20 2007, 11:41 PM)  Great idea Tony - basically just general recording/micing/mixing lessons! Perhaps in combination with the explanation of a freeware such as reaper to get recording newbies started...?  Sounds like an excellent idea Kris Minor correction - Reaper isn't freeware, it's unlimited shareware. Unlimited for use but if you do you use it 'a lot', particularly if you record with commercial/professional intentions, then you should/must buy a license. The license isn't expensive btw - it's only 50USD (compare that against the cost of the big name sequencing packages). Not to over egg the cake here but if we want stuff like Reaper (and Audacity) to continue to be available and to carry on being developed then as many people as possible who use it should buy a license. Development isn't cheap - one of my friends is on the Audacity team and I'd like to see her continually and gainfully employed . (That way she continues to buy me drinks rather then scamming mine  .)Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

Yeah,lessons about that might be really cool
But in a mean while look more into help features. I use Ableton Live a lot but only for audio drum loops,don't now much about recording with it... Also,there are probably many video tutorials on Ableton Live website. I've seen many for Cubase,Logic etc.

Well,if you want to record something with your guitar and then to play over it,
Reaper is more than enough.
