Jacob Tyler
Jacob Tyler is a real Audio pro. His tutorial templates are popular sources of good sound-design and effective production techniques. The legendary contest series 'Audiotool Day' which he initiated starts its fourth season on November 10th and in all probability will far exceed previous year's participation. Just one of the reasons for looking by on Jake's Audiotool page.

- Musical Style
- I guess I don't have a specific style but I love messing around combining genres.
- Musical Background
- Violin for 10 years and played in numerous orchestras.
- Started making music
- 3 years ago. My first ever finished song was done with Audiotool.
- On Audiotool
- I used to go round one of my friend's house all the time and he made music with Propellerhead's Reason. I didn't have the money to spend on Reason, so I went online looking for a free alternative. I was on the Google Chrome store and found Audiotool. The first time I used it I couldn't get any sound to come through unless I used the tonematrix. I got really annoyed and didn't revisit it for ages, and then I found some of Infyuthsion's tutorials on Youtube and I immediately became hooked.
- Message to the community
- Audiotool is an amazing site filled with amazing people. I'm at university studying to become a sound engineer, I work producing and recording music for other people as a career. I would never have even considered music as a career if it hadn't been for Audiotool. I guess what I'm trying to say is that Audiotool is a great place and that everyone should keep on doing what they're passionate about. Also, I'm hosting the fourth annual "Audiotool Day" competition. Every year I upload a track with no content on it. You can then remix this track and you have until the 10th of December to make whatever you want. Last year I got over 5 hours worth of entries and it'd be awesome to see if we can get even more! I shall upload the track on the 10th of November, which allows everyone exactly 1 month.
