Hi fellow producers. In this post I’m going to point you in the direction of AudioTuts. I love this site hundreds of professional skilled producers contribute regularly and the site is overflowing with great content. What follows are 8 of my favorite tutorials from AudioTuts.
10 Best Affordable Microphones for the Home Studio
In this tutorial Joel Falconer covers 10 of the best and most affordable microphones for your home studio. While not an essential piece of a studio at least for many amateurs microphones can add a great deal to your capability. Many people associate microphones with vocal recording however they can be used for a great deal more. For example a microphone can be used to record your own sound effects, something Rusko (a dubstep producer) is very fond of doing. They can also be used to record your own samples. Have a drum kit why not try recording it with a microphone to create some unique samples for your next track?
The Basic Functions of Harmony
In this tutorial Ryan Leach guides us through some music theory backed up by some examples. I don’t know about you but my music theory is awful and something im spending time working on. This tutorial is not for complete beginners. You should know what chords, intervals and what a 4 chord is A is composed of. However if you have learned the very basics and what to learn some harmony theory for your compositions this tutorial will help you out.
How to Make a Dubstep-Style Wobble Bass in FL Studio 8
I love dubstep its one of my favourite genres and in my option one of the funniest to produce. The characteristic wobble bass of modern dubstep is a very misunderstood topic and there are more ways to create this sound than to create the sound of a drum. In this tutorial Luke Wolfenden takes us through one method to create the signature bass sound with FL studio and a VST plugin called Z3ta+. Its extremely useful as a basic introduction to bass sound design so go and check it out!

If you enjoyed Lil Wayne’s Lollipop track (if you haven’t heard it look it up on YouTube real quick) and wanted that awesome synth line this tutorial will help you out. Eric Shafer goes into way more detail than I expected in recreating this synth and actually covers the drum and bass line to build up the entire track from scratch. Also included are some patches to help you.

If you have been in production for any amount of time you should understand that EQ, equalization is incredibly important to any mix.
