Tutorial: All About Mud
Described for this article as that big mess of mid range frequencies that cloud up your mix. Mud is what makes your mix dull, flat and lifeless.
Maybe your hats aren't standing out or your snare keeps getting buried or your rhythm instruments can't find their way into the mix. Maybe you just want to stand out from the other cats that don't take the time to clean up their tracks. Or, for whatever reason, things just don't sound balanced.
Guess what, it happens to everyone. A good producer always wants to take the next step in learning how to get better.
So, hopefully the good people here at ISK can help get you there. These tips may be a bit basic, so I apologize if you're past this, but they're also fundamental, so a refresher never hurt. Click Read More for the rest of the post.
Tutorial: Humanise Your Drums
Ever had boring drums? Need to make them sound... less boring? Humanising drums is simple, just mess with the velocity on notes and make it vary. If you've ever played a set of drums you don't actually hit each drum with the same force do you? Nope. Let's emulate this in Logic pro or any other Daw (FL Studio, Reason, etc).

What Software Do You Use?
I'm interested in which software you people use. It will help me when I start up the tutorials etc.
I run a Mac with Bootcamp so have full access to Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Reason 4 and FL Studio 9.
Please leave a comment as to which ones you use most or would prefer to see tutorials written on.
