I remember the day when I bought my first soundcard. It was a Yamaha XG PCI, and it was the shizzle. Of course, I was 12 years old – which meant I knew very little about what I was buying… but I liked the MIDI sounds that came with it, and it was in my price range, so I was a buyer.
Choosing the right audio interface is like choosing the right wine to go with your roast pork… alot of wines will work, but one of them is going to be just right. Mmm… But just like wine, there are plenty of brands and models to choose from – which one is the best for you?
Times have changed since the times of Mozart and Beethoven. Hey… times have changed since 15 years ago. Computer technology is rapidly becoming the medium through which modern composers express their music to the world, and knowing how to take advantage of these tools will help you work faster, write better and get your music heard.
There are alot of people out there who write music for films and games. But there is a reason for it – it’s fun! Short of giving away trade secrets, I’ll give you a few pointers on what to look out for when writing your next cue for that amazing feature film you’re working on…
Having your project organised & pretty whilst you work may seem like a miniscule thought in the grand scheme of audio production & composition; but even the smallest bit of logical organising can improve your workflow, especially on big projects. May I introduce you to Sonar’s Track Folders.
Alot of us put off the practice of backing up our compositions – but the fact is it’s incredibly important. Drives fail, power surges happen – but thankfully Sonar has a few features that makes the hassle just a little bit simpler.
