postheadericon Learning to Sing

Is it very difficult to learn to sing CORRECTLY? Sometimes people spend a lot of money and many years to learn and they have not much results. Why is it so? How to STRENGTHEN the voice to make it more POWERFUL, how to sing WITH FREEDOM etc? How to use good BREATH CONTROL to not lose your breath whilst singing etc? What about how to increase the vocal range? Lots of people ask it.

When a singer has the thought ”I need to get some help with my voice”, their next thought is ”I need someone to help me breath”.This is because it is what we have always heard about voice instruction…breath control…breath from your diaphfragm…etc. But let me say about breathing: You know how to breath or you’d be dead right now! IMPORTANCE OF BREATHING IN SINGING HAS BEEN OVEREMPHASIZED BY VOICE TEACHERS. Correct breathing is a by-product of good technique.

You can also hear, that you must sing with an open throat, and a lowered tongue.
But if you do so, it creates tension that can hinder the freedom of your voice and make speaking words sound unnatural. AN OPEN THROAT MUST BE A RESULT OF GOOD TECHNIQUE, NOT THE CAUSE OF IT. How can you eliminate all the difficulty and frustration of learning whilst saving your valuable practise time?

You must learn to sing with THE SAME COMFORTABLE, easily-produced voice you use WHEN YOU SPEAK, no matter where the note is in your range. When you know how to use your voice correctly, you can have it working great forever.

To learn to sing now and better and improve your voice and to sing high notes with power and easily, you need a teacher, WHO KNOWS EXACTLY what works and what doesn’t work. You need a voice teache who has created a SERIES OF SINGING LESSONS that will, without fail, improve your singing ability within the first few days of practice.

postheadericon Internet Music

Music colors every part of our lives. By nature it possesses a simple harmony, rhythm, and melody and with the advent of technology these elements are able to produce a great musical depth. A great new outlet to find the latest music and groups is now on internet radio.

“Today’s recorded music has computers which really has fine-tuned recording and can make multiple manipulations to perfect the sound and balance,” said Pat Pearson, guitar teacher and performer out of Atascadero, California.
Pat performs in the group Cuesta Ridge and also with his wife, flutist Dana Pearson, in the group Pitch and Rhythm. The couple has been performing together for five years and they have spent about 30 hours in a recording studio, as well as experimenting with doing their own home recording.

“We recently acquired a Mac Book from Apple and discovered some pretty amazing music applications that have been amazing for recording and editing songs,” Pearson said. “Our cell phones have the ability to audio record so it’s always great when inspiration strikes at any time, you have the ability to capture it right then and there.”

Computer software related to music production has skyrocketed creating a new genre of music, electronic music. This abundance of new technology has also helped to create a new type of musician, the home recording artist. Anyone who has an instrument and a computer is only a few hundred bucks away from being able to record their own music at home.

“Home recordings have enabled a larger number of people to become recording artists, both amateur and professional,” Pat Pearson said. “It allows for the convenience of perfecting your track without the pressure of using and paying high recording fees.”

The advent of music production software has opened up new ways of approaching songwriting and recording. In the old days, writing and recording had to be done in real-time. Musicians had to perform every note on record. Today, computer software gives us the capability for musical parts to be sliced up, shifted, and copied to other sections of the recording. This is the manner in which electronic music helps to create those pounding rhythms that inspire us to dance. Software with mastering capabilities also allows access to all the dynamic attributes of recording and post-production so each recorded part can be enhanced to its full potential.
“It’s like technology allow(s) the beat to free itself and be more of it’s true self,” said Tim Gladwill, a.k.a. DJ Evasive, from San Luis Obispo, California, who engages in his own dramatic performances, in the band Ashes to Light. “Music is always going to evolve and free itself and break boundaries.” You can get quick and easy access to all this music via free online music sites everywhere.
But with all this new technology it bears the question: “Are we losing out on anything important in our musical experiences?” There are still some distinct advantages when a real, live person is in a room creating a distinctive art form with music. A computer does not have the capacity of heart felt passion and these elements are paramount in extending music into a realm that transcends mere entertainment.
“Modern music lacks a lot of the real rawness and distinctiveness that it once had” Pearson said. In the past it was more about pure music, with the advent of new technologies, some of the purity of new recordings is obscured.”
The history of music has shown that the bottom line is expression. If you create from your heart, people will respond. Technology is just another tool of creation. The source of inspiration always comes from within the musician.

postheadericon Unplug the Turntable and pick up a Guitar

There will always be a place in my heart for dance music, there’s nothing like being in a club dancing away while the DJ works the crowd. I have always believed that a well constructed DJ set is just as good as a gig from a live band, the DJ’s ability to build up a set and the crowd along with it and then just at the right moment give the mix that kick that sends the crowd wild!

But recently I have found myself listening to more and more guitar based music, from the electric blues of Jimi Hendrix to Motorhead (with Phil Campbell pummelling riffs out of his Lag guitar) I am spending more and more time listening to the guitar.

But do guitars and turntables have to be mutually exclusive, Run DMC and Aerosmith gave it a go with “Walk this way” and the Beastie Boys picked up some instruments on the classic “Check your head” which was released in 1992, “So What’cha Want” being a personal favourite!

So perhaps I was being a bit bold in the title of this blogpost, you don’t need to unplug the turntable, there’s room for all types of music in my head!

postheadericon Working Out and Music – The Perfect Combination

Finding the motivation to workout everyday can be a great challenge to everyone. Even the ones dedicated to their fitness have days when they just want to stay in bed or skip the exercise because they lack the drive or they are just not in the mood for it. This happens because going to the gym doesn’t seem fun to you. Introducing your favorite music to your daily workout routine can take it to a whole new level. Trust me; there will be days when you will actually look forward to going to the gym!

It is said that listening to music when you workout or play sports will boost your performance level. The key to achieving this is to choose the right song. For example, if your workout routine is more intense then you can keep yourself going by listening to some great upbeat dance music.

Having some tunes in place will help you get in the mood of your workout routine whether it be a jog in the park or a grueling weight lifting session. When you are tuned into the right music in your headphones, you will actually end up enjoying what you are doing. It is also a great help when you are on an intense workout routine because it helps you forget that you are tired.

Having your own personal headphones is more preferable to depending to the musical whims of those in charge at the gym. Choosing the right song also depends on your mood. When you are angry you might want to listen to a heavier rock number instead of the usual hip hop dance. Listening to a rock song and working out when you are angry also gives you an outlet to vent your anger and it helps you feel calmer. Listening to jazz is also a great motivation when my exercise routing is less grueling and I am in a happier mood.



postheadericon Audio Mastering

Have you ever wondered why the music on the radio seems so much different than music that you might record yourself? It has a polished sound, and everything seems to flow together so much better. This is because all music that you hear on the radio has been mastered.

Mastering is a process that a song goes through after it has been recorded, which prepares it and transfers to a data storage device. This copy, which is called “The Master” is the one from which all other copies are made. During the mastering process, the original sound recording is equalized, compressed, and edited for noise reduction to eliminate clicks, dropouts, hum and hiss. The levels or the volume might be adjusted, the song may be edited, a fade in or out may be added, or any other enhancements may be added. The mastering process is different for every song, because each recording will have unique flaws that require editing. Ambience or additional sounds may also be added during the mastering process. Also, a skilled audio mastering technician can create different effects, such as making your music sound like it is a vintage recording.

In the olden days, mastering used to be done using massive tape machines and then acetate pressings. The machines and tools needed to do this were expensive, cumbersome, and difficult to operate. However, now we have the benefit of computer software, which means that there are many easy to operate and affordable digital audio editing programs on the market. You can purchase one of these and teach yourself how to master your own tracks, or you can choose to have your audio mastered by a professional mastering engineer. There are advantages to both, but the thing to remember is that while anyone can learn to operate a digital editing program, a truly great audio mastering engineer simply has an ‘ear’ for music which is a talent that cannot be learned.
If you are a recording artist producing your first album, it is important that you make sure that your music is audio mastered properly. It takes a bit longer and there is a small cost, but the difference in sound quality is the difference between something that sounds like it was recorded on budget home recording equipment, to something that sounds like a professional track that could be played on the radio. You can be the best song writer or musician of all time, but if the sound quality on your recordings is terrible, no one will ever want to buy your records. Audio mastering simply takes your raw materials and polishes the rough edges so that your great lyrics and melody shine.
