In the spirit of mixing it up, I am posting two sessions that were created by audio.tutsplus.com which I find pretty interesting. They do contain a few premium tutorials here and there but most of it is free so enjoy and create.

 

Creative Session: All About Loops

 

“Loops are an essential building block when creating music in a DAW. Here is a great collection of tuts and articles that show you how to create loops, where you can find them, and how to make the most of them once you’re in your DAW.”

 

Recording Vocals

 

“Vocals are key. You can nail everything else, but without great vocals your song will lack life, interest and believability. Since 2008 we’ve been posting some great tutorials to help you achieve the best possible vocals. In this session we introduce you to the best of them.”

Programming

There won’t be much if any programming inspirations because, programming is everywhere, that video game you’re playing or that music player you’re using, so look around and find a program that you find cool and break it down into simple forms and try to recreate it. That is your Assignment / Project.

 

No Programming Inspirations

Music Is What Feelings Sound Like

This is probably the best description that anyone can use to define me, you can tell the mood I am in by the music I listen to, and it is also why I am a music addict. But seriously you know when, you listen to a song and the lyrics basically describe everything that you are currently going through, it could be relationship problems, your finances or just random stress, for that 3-4 minutes all of it just disappears into the music, and you suddenly feel better.

Quote #123 A Smile Is The Prettiest Thing

Chose this quote because I was really happy today and was smiling a lot.

The Weekend, the best two days of my life, got up early in the morning as I had to get my room cleaned, because there was supposed to be people coming over, to bless the house. I got that done for close to 8, then my mother told me to wash my school clothes, I ate breakfast first and relaxed for a bit, and never went to was for about 11. Got done washing for about 1, and came in and just went on my bed and lied down. When I came to, it was after 3 and I had to go take out my lunch, and start preparing for youth meeting at 4. I got ready, and left home for 4:30 and reached around when they were just beginning.

Today, was elections for youth president and various positions in the youth department. The position was for two years, and I was nominated for treasurer, but thankfully, I was beaten for the position (I’m happy because I already had too much work as it is). When that got done, we had to practice the song we listened to last week, because we were going to be singing it tomorrow, for youth Sunday. They chose persons for the various tasks tomorrow, I was working the projector, so couldn’t really do much more in the service.

I had to stay back late to practice, with the devotion leaders, so that I knew the songs they would be singing tomorrow. I didn’t mind much as the computer was on with Virtual DJ, scanning through 2000 Songs so I had time to kill. I tried my best to be on point, but still made a few mistakes especially with the songs I didn’t know all that well, and when I couldn’t hear what they were saying. I finished for around 7, and came home.

Upon arriving home, I was surprised to see that there was guests home. I paid them no mind, and checked the computer to see, if virtual dj had finished, and it was so I closed it, and jumped straight way into my blogging. The kids however, came over, and I was talking to a friend as well so I had to keep it clean, but after they realized I was doing boring stuff, they let me be.

Design #19 26/01/2013 - Colorful PorscheI got my blogging done for after 8 close to 9, and was in the middle of sharing it, when my mom informed me that, they would be praying, so I stopped playing my music, and continued doing what I was doing. The guest left for about 10, and it wasn’t a moment too soon as I had just opened up Photoshop, because I was feeling to design.

I opened up a lot of images, and finally settled on one, a Porsche, and splattered it and added a black / blue effect to the background, finished up that for close to midnight and posted it on Deviant Art, before going to bed.

Quote #117 God Is A DJToday is a Sunday, which could mean only one thing; sadly I had school tomorrow. I got up for 8 and my mother was already on breakfast, so I just had to prepare what I wanted to eat before showering. Took a shower, and got dressed, before leaving home for about quarter to 10. I knew I was late but I had only missed Sunday school so it wasn’t the end of the world.

Today was men’s Sunday, so they were in charge of the worship service as well as preaching. I didn’t have to do anything as I was not needed to work the projector. It was really cold so I moved a bit from my regular seat in front of the window, and tried to keep myself warm. Later on the sun started shining brightly and soon, it was hot again but that didn’t last long as it was again cloudy.

The weather played this cruel game, up until church ended at 12, I said my hellos to a couple of friends, and was handed the words to the song which we had to do next week Sunday for Youth Sunday. After I looked around a bit and saw that my mother had left already, I left and caught up with her.

I got home and wasted time for a bit, as my mom hadn’t cooked as yet, so she had to cook after church; which meant a long wait. After giving up I decided to go into my room and jump on the computer and after checking my emails, I continued my movie Marathon.

I had the final three movies from the collection to watch: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows: Part 1 & 2. I finished the first movie sometime after 3 and by this time lunch had finished, so I took my plate back to my room and started watching part 1 of the deathly hollows. That movie ended for about 6 or so and I decided to leave the computer and carry out my plate and do some blogging before starting to watch the final part.

I finished up all my blogging by 830 there about and started watching the final part. I had to admit I enjoyed all of the movies and they were great. The final movie ended close to 11 and I was already extremely tired. I checked my email one final time before downloading some images and finally going to bed for about 1.
