Workshop: Iris by Landon Olmos

At Audiotuts+ we irregularly put up a reader track for workshopping and critique (find out how to submit a track). This is how it works: you upload your song, and every week or so we’ll publish one here and step away from the podium. The floor is yours to talk about the track and how the artist can fix problems in and improve upon the mix and the song.

This track has been submitted for your friendly, constructive criticism. They have put their track (and their heart and soul) in your hands to learn and get useful feedback.

  • Do you enjoy the song or track itself? Does it have potential?
  • Can the arrangement be improved?
  • How did you find the mix? What would you do differently?
  • What do you enjoy about the rhythm track? What can be done to improve it?
  • Is the choice of instruments relevant and effective for the style/song?
  • Are the lyrics (if any) effective? Does the style, arrangement and genre of the song suit them?
  • Can you suggest any specific techniques that might improve the track?
  • Do you have any other constructive feedback?

Business To Business Website Design

Hi,

I’m looking for a website to be designed which will be a business portal. I like the layout of the following websites and I am looking for a design similar to this.

findtheneedle.co.uk
ogbit.com
businessmagnet.co.uk
freeindex.co.uk

Basically I like the look and feel of these sites and want mine to be similar to these layouts.

I would do the content writing myself, so all I’m looking for at this stage is assistance with a design – must be unique and professional. No preference on colours, will leave this to the individual web designer.

Any questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks for viewing.

Integrate Php Form With Perl Form

I am looking for a programmer who understands both Perl and PHP.

Right now I have two separate forms.. both are complete and work independently of each other…

Please only bid if you have a great understanding of Perl, how it works and how to integrate other elements into it.

Simply, I need the 4 form inputs from the PHP form added to the Perl form…

Thanks
