The audiocourses.com student radio is up and running and we’ve already made a selection of tunes available for users to selected from.

The radio is easily selected by pressing the play button on the top right of the audiocourses.com main page. This will spawn a new window containing the mini flash mp3 player.

Having a small new window open makes sense in that users can carry on browsing the site while the radio plays in the background.

The player will randomly select a tune to play first.

Users can also scroll through tunes as well as play with some other “cute” functions such as repeat and shuffle.

The radio is yet another method for “showing-off” the abundance of talent we see at the school, and all the tunes available, will in essence, have had the skills of the students let loose on them.

Play lists and details will appear soon informing yet more information on the tracks and students that feature.

Currently only a Hi-Fi version is available but if we receive enough requests we may introduce a Lo-Fi feed also.

Happy listening.

This week is a milestone for audiocourses.com in that our student account numbers reached the 10,000 mark!

I’d like to send out a big thank you to all of you who have continued supporting us and stuck with the school through thick and thin.

It’s not always exquisitely delightful mind you, nor an easy run, behind the scenes of an online audio school, but it certainly is a credit to our students that we have developed so quickly, and so uniquely, and ensured a motivational energy contiunes to grip our development team.

Over the last three years audiocourses.com has grown from a small site offering e-book downloads into a fully fledged online school offering accredited City & Guilds audio qualifications, as well as a whole variety of other audio course options.

Our consistent support of the student, with their individual learning goals and personalized plan, is what makes us stand out from the competition, and quite frankly leave them standing.

For those of you “long-termers” who have been with us from the start you will fully appreciated how we have grown organically, with the needs and wishes of our students at the fore, and we have no intention of changing that concept in the future.

Thumbs up!

Mike O’Hara’s latest tune is a complete rearrangement of the Country/Rock tune supplied with his Production Mixing & Mastering course.

If you listen to Mike’s podcast you’ll get some fine insights into how this worked out for him and possibly how you could also approach the tricky subject of drum recording and mixing. Mike is right on the money when he mentions mic placement being so important!
