This is a dark one… Use with caution, you might get cursed!

EDIT: For some reason a volume automation in the beginning of the clip had disappeared and I didn’t notice it until now. Here’s the correct version. The difference is that the drums fade in… Sometimes small changes make a lot of difference.

Here’s a contemplative little thing built around some loop, kicks, electric piano and some weird backwards stuff. In case you didn’t know, I’ve been trying to put together lots of different types of clips now in the beginning so that people with all kinds of weird tastes can find something interesting here.

During the coming weeks we will be talking a lot about various effects that we can process our audio with. If we choose to work in an entirely digital environment this will be achieved by using plug-ins. A plug-in (sometimes spelled plugin) is sort of an application that works inside your other application. Like an extension, or an add-on if you will, to your main application. When working with audio, and mixing specifically, plug-ins is a big deal. They let you do things that your application normally won’t. More →
As you probably know if you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast (or already have one!) you will need a way to create a feed for it. There are a couple of ways to achieve this, but Podbasket probably offers the easiest – just supply the URL.

Today we’ll discuss the EQs practical use. While it might not be as important for general podcasting purposes as it is for music, there really isn’t any reason for you to not at least try it out. If you’re unsure on the terms used in this post, then read my previous post on EQs. More →
In music production the EQ, or the equalizer, is perhaps the most important element besides the tools producing the sounds themselves.

If too much editing of podcasts is a common rookie mistake, not editing enough is also a common error made my amateur podcasters.
Not editing enough is pretty apparent when you listen to these kinds of podcasts. The quality is really raw and there the whole podcast is not all over the place. The podcaster would usually just ramble without any rhyme or reason. There is no attempt to tighten up the episode by excising the unnecessary bits.
A sloppy podcast is a sure way to discourage listeners from following your episodes faithfully. It’s as bad as overdoing your podcasts with fancy effects.Learn to keep a balance by editing your podcasts in just the right amount.
