AC Blog

Following on from their recent “honesty box” approach to album pricing, Radiohead have changed the gears yet again and are now offer YOU a chance to remix their latest single “Nude”.

It’s not so much a complete mix but 5 stems to “make it easier” as the websites states, of course being an AC user you’d probably rather have all single tracks to mix, but hey I guess 5 stems is better than none, right?

The site states: “To make remixing easy, the separate ’stems’* from the song are available to purchase from iTunes. The ’stems’ available are bass, voice, guitar, strings/fx and drums. You can mix them in any way you like, either by adding your own beats and instrumentation, or just remixing the original parts.”

Once you’ve uploaded your mix you’ll find that we all as users will vote on our preferred version, there is a top 10 list on the main page.

Pretty cool user generated idea this right? Or not, what’s your view on it?

Welcome into 2008, I truly do hope you are making plans to study this year and that you are thinking of joining us for that adventure. As a school we have quite simply out-performed our peers in the distance learning field hands-down. To date we still maintain a 100% pass record for our students.

100% pass rate?

Yes, sounds kind of odd I know, but it really is true. Since 2001 we have not had a single student entered for exams fail, and I have personally seen the same syllabus taught in regular institutions with nothing like a 100% pass rate.

So how do we maintain such success?

Without wanting to make this sound overly enthusing, I have to simply take my hat off to all the students that we have had the pleasure of getting to know. It is unquestionably the students of Audiocourses.com who have kept us at the top of our game. Time and time again I have seen serious motivation and commitment to complete studies from a very wide ranging background of students too.

Distance learning is not an easy platform at all, distance learning is in fact a real serious life commitment one has to make, you really have to want to study this subject with us, you really do need to be passionate and hungry for success Having said that, as a school, I pride myself on knowing that all of our Production Advisers help YOU in getting over the finishing line in a manner which yields life-long learning skills. I cherish the fact you learn how to learn with us.

2008 is going to be yet another milestone for Audiocourses.com with a huge new partnership currently forging and with more exciting new courses for the fall semester, which will eventually see full-blown degrees on offer.

So I wish you well, if you are thinking of enrolling for our Feb start semester, and if you have any questions that need answering do not hesitate to contact me personally.

I had a blast at MediaCampBucks07 which took place a couple of weekends ago, the experience was fantastic and in between all the learning and sharing there was some music production taking place in the thick of it. I wrote a summary over on my personal blog about the educational event.

As well as this Nuno was caught running around with a video camera and he kindly put together a short summary vid to show off his talent. We hope you like the style and you are set to be seeing more of Nuno’s work on the site in the coming months in the way of tutorials.
