Audio

TheWhippinpost is now expanding to encompass both audio and XG MIDI music matters so please forgive the occasional disheveled organisation and appearance.

Audio sound-related material for making-music can generally found here.

This is where you get to delve into things like optimising your (Windows) PC for audio work; why sound electronics (as in: stable, hi-quality electronic components) is essential in getting the most from your sounds... plus other, more specific tutorials targetting audio work
