Getting Your Recording Right

admin | May 16, 2008

You finally have finished recording your piece, front to back and think that you are ready to mix everything together. But, before you start, you notice that there is one little glitch right in the middle. Before you start over again, or start to give up with your song, find the tools that will work so that you can get the recording right.

Software that is designed in recording is always designed with the human element in mind. This means that you can play the instrument the way that you best know how, then create a way to get the exact sound that you want later. While you want to be exact while you record, you can be somewhat merciful in knowing that this sometimes doesn’t happen, then find the right tools to put it back together again.

One of the greatest software tools that can be used are punch ins. This allows you to flag a certain area that you want to re-do. You will be able to go back a certain number of seconds and replay. You will then move into the area that needs re-done and record over what was already recorded. You will be able to continue to play afterwards in order to fade back out and put everything together right.

With this option, you want to make sure that you can put all of the sound waves next to each other. With some programs, the punch ins will slightly divide once starting. Giving yourself enough room to prepare for the punch in as well as creating a seamless tie together of the two will help you to put everything together.

Once you have all of the instrumentation exactly right, you can start putting in the right sounds. This is often times called the pre-mixing stage and is used in order to make your instrumentation have the right effects and resonance within your instrument. You always want to do this before you reach the mixing stage as it will often times make a difference in the volume as well as the way in which the instrument mixes with other instruments.

The pre-mixing stage will always begin with the normalization process. This is simply taking the setting of the waves and making it so that it peaks out in both ends. When you normalize something, the frequencies will go up or down. You should see the waves change in order to reach maximum and minimum peaks at both ends. If you have your volume set correctly, everything will normalize to be around the same peaks, allowing you to mix together the sounds easier.

After this, you can set the sound that you want in the end for your instrumentation. This moves into reverb options, flange, effects, fades and other instrumentation effects that adds in extra color to your instrumentation. When you do this, you should make sure that you work with what will sound the best with your instrument and how it will change the sounds within your song. Once you start to hear the right sounds for your instrumentation, you can preset this part and allow for time saving options when getting ready to mix.

After this stage, you will be ready to start your mixing of instruments. Your check list for the pre-mixing stage is to simply make sure that your individual instruments has the right sound that you want for the entire mix. This starts with the smoothness you will want from the song and moves into the options for getting the sounds that add a little bit extra into the mix of your individual instrument.

Getting To the End of the Road

admin | May 12, 2008

If you have a home studio or a small set-up for your recording studio, you are probably familiar with the blues of the recording process. It includes the down times of having to listen to the same things over and over again, trying to hear the different levels and parts of the instruments several times and spending hours just to get to the end of the road.

It’s the recording blues that stop hundreds of small bands from completing a CD and taking ten years to get their next album out. The difficulties that come with recording and the process that has to be done can be tedious, frustrating and can cause to burn out of either the songs, members or others who are working on the CD.

If you are recording, and even if it is by yourself, you don’t want to stop until you complete the CD. The levels of satisfaction that can be achieved can help you to do greater and better things and can help to influence those around you to do the same. There are several perspectives that allow for the benefits of finishing the CD to be a part of what you are doing. Sticking with the process, learning what you need to and plowing forward will eventually get you to the end result and allow you to be even more effective with your music and creativity.

If you’re feeling down about your recording, keep in mind your end goal. Keep visualizing yourself at the end of the road and how this will affect everyone else. This begins with the achievements that this is able to bring you and what you have accomplished with the CD. This is something that many don’t have the will power, desire or capacity to do. That already puts you ahead of the game.

More than that, never stop thinking about what your fans or potential fans would think if you have a CD out and how this will influence them. Finishing the recording process and getting the CD into the public opens doors for you to make connections in a positive way and to do what you need in order to share your creative process with others. Whether it is one person or fifty million, this part of the process is one that can be effective and make you want to set the next date to record your next CD.

In recording, it is not necessarily the end goal of the CD, even though this will bring rewards individually and towards those around you. It is also the process of being able to hear your pieces in a different way and to manipulate the sounds from an engineering point of view, instead of just a performance point of view. If you haven’t stopped to enjoy the process of putting together your CD, start listening a little bit differently for the way that things fall together within the process.

The main advice for recording your CD is to keep the different perspectives in mind. While the entire process may be tedious and difficult, allowing yourself to enjoy the process and think of the end benefits can help you to further your career as a recording producer and engineer as well as a musician who is able to share creativity with others.

Getting the Right Mix: Mixing Boards and Recording

admin | May 8, 2008

The most important step from the instrument to the recording software is the mixing board. This particular part of recording is one that allows you to put everything together the correct way, before you have to manipulate it in the computer software. If you want to make sure that you are putting together everything right, you will also want to know exactly how the mixing board can benefit you.

A mixing board is also referred to as a sound board and is responsible for taking the instruments and mixing and routing them into the computer. As soon as an instrument is plugged into a mixer, it will then turn into a digital signal, which creates sound waves.

A mixer works by allowing each instrument being recorded to have one area in which the signal is received. These individual instruments can be changed with volume levels, depth of the sound and other features through the mixing board. For example, if you are playing with a piano and a bass, they can both have a different input area in the mixer. One can be louder and the other can be softer, with the bass having less treble, or high end sound, with the piano balancing out with more mid-range sounds. It is these volume levels that then move into the software and allow for the sound waves to be recorded with a specific balance.

When defining the different parts of the mixer, there is also the ability to combine different types of volumes, depending on the knobs that are being used for the right mix. These are known as input controls, and contain everything that allows for the specific sound of the instrument. This starts with defining the volume through this one instrument. There is also a trim or gain control, which defines the level of sound within each wave.

From here, the mixing board will allow for details of the sound waves to be defined through an EQ, which means equalization. The main responsibility of this part of the mixing board is to change the frequencies within each range. For example, if the EQ of the bass is too high, the higher frequencies can be boosted in order to balance out both ranges. The EQ frequencies can be referred to with some general preferences that work within instrumentation as well as personal preference to allow the sound to be as low or high as you want.

When the instrumentation is received into the mixer and begins to be balanced, other options can also be put into the mix. For example, the amplitude of the sounds can be defined through specific parts of the board. There are also noise gates, which stops the sound from echoing before it goes into the recording area, or allows for some resonance to be in the mix. There is also the ability with some mixers to compress the instruments, meaning that the sound waves will be shortened if they reach or go over a certain peak number, allowing you to keep control of the volume before it gets into the computer program as a sound wave.

After all of these options for individual instruments, the mixing board will then move into mixing the physical space. Main volume areas as well as controls for outputs are used in order to ensure that everything is balanced while recording and remains equal in sound to those who are listening while recording. Like the instrumentation that is moving into the software as sound waves, these areas have a variety of options for making the sound balance within the studio.

The idea with a mixing board is to make the right mix for both the internal software so that the sound files can sound the same, as well as the external area, so that all of the instruments can blend together while recording. The different devices that are used within the mixing board help to achieve this through the different options for volume control and mixing options.

When you are looking into a sound board, you should always consider the options for getting the mix right, including the number of instruments that you can hook up to the different functions that the mixing board contains. When you start to put together the recording with the right mix board, you will have a better blend of sounds and will allow the end result of the recording to mix together exactly right.

Getting Rehearsals Ready for Recording

admin | May 5, 2008

Going into a studio is something that is different than practicing or from performing. It’s a different art form in music and takes some different steps in order to get your tracks exactly right. In fact, it’s become such an art form, that there are now several musicians who are simply studio musicians because of the different techniques that are used. If you are getting ready to record, you will want to make sure that you rehearse in a way that gets you ready to record.

The number one rule to remember about recording is that you can’t miss a beat. If you do, it will cause everything else to be off. Because everything is typically recorded in layers, it combines the need to stay exactly on tempo with the song that is being recorded. Make sure that you know the tempo and don’t miss it when you are practicing to record.

The second rule of thumb for recording is to rehearse with layers as one of the options in mind. While most studios will allow you to record all of the instruments at once, your instrument will still be singled out in order to get the rest of the process right. This means that you want to make sure that you can move around with your instrument and know the song forwards and backwards.

Along those lines, always have starting and stopping points that work well with you in one song. If there are any flaws while recording, they can be punched in. You will want to have specific points that you know you can start at again so that you can record over any mistakes that you did make. Dividing up your pieces and learning them in segments will help while you are recording.

Another aspect to keep in mind with the rehearsal before recording is to know what to practice and know what can be plugged in. For example, getting louder or software can be manipulated by the production process, as well as the sound and resonance of what you are playing. It’s not necessary to put in the extra ornaments and marks that are often times found in music for a performance or practice, unless you definitely know you want it to stand out.

With all of these concepts in mind as an individual, you can then begin to think about how the blend will change when it moves into the studio. Even though every instrument will be on a different track, you will want to determine how this will best fit in, what the possibilities are for balance and what you want the end product to sound like. This will help you to get used to the right sound and build the correct balance from the concepts that you think fit best.

With these different tips and tricks, your recordings will go much smoother and you will simply be able to follow your musical script to get what you want laid out on the right track. If you prepare in this way, you will find that your abilities to record will be much easier than if you go in without having any preparation. It will save time and space, and will allow those who are producing the CD to have an easier time putting your CD together.

admin | April 29, 2008

Many of us have been sitting around a camp fire, singing with the others while someone else was playing the guitar and wished to be the on who was playing.

What Distinguishes a Classical Guitar?

admin | April 4, 2008

A classical guitar has a different anatomy than regular guitars. It has six strings, with the bass strings made of nylon wrapped in brass wire and the treble strings made from nylon. The body of the guitar is symmetrical and made of wood. It includes no electronics.

A classical guitarist is not just a person who plays a classical repertoire. It is also important the way he plays. A classical guitarist plucks the strings with the fingers from his right hand and doesn’t use any pick. There are also some recommendations about the position of the body that make a classical guitarist different from other guitarists.

How to Start Learning?

The best way to go is definitely a private teacher. He/she will provide you with personal attention and teach you all the technical points of posture or hand position better than any other method. You can learn classical guitar from books as well, but it will probably take longer and you may develop bad habits that are more difficult to break after a long time.

The main disadvantage about taking up private lessons to learn classical guitar is that they cost $15-$20 an hour. A solution would be to find a teacher that teaches group lessons to 4-6 students at once. This way you will pay much less, as well as benefit from observing your classmates. You can take up private lessons later if you feel the need to do it.

Exploring The Parts of A Guitar

admin | March 17, 2008

Guitars have been used with so much diversity in many musical forms. The instrument is known by many as a classical solo instrument and the basic musical instrument in rock music.

In the previous chapter we looked at the “lingo.” Now, let’s apply some of what we learned and get acquainted with this magnificent instrument; know its parts:

1. Headstock. This is found at the edge of the guitar’s neck. It is tailored with the instrument’s head for adjusting the pitch.

2. Tuners. The tuners keep the strings of the guitar stretched beginning at the base down to the knobs. Tuners likewise allow the guitar player to alter or modify the pitch either flat or sharp, depending on the player’s choice of music.

3. Nut. This is a tiny strip of hard medium or material which supports the strings in the intersection whereby the “headstock” meet up with the “fret board”. The strips can be made of plastic, bone, graphite, brass or any hard medium and indented so as to secure the stings in position. The nut acts as one of several endpoints assisting the tension of the string.

4. Fret board. Also known as the fingerboard, it is a lengthy wood plank inserted with frets of metal that composes the top of the guitar’s neck.

Learning the Guitar Lingo

admin |

The guitar is one of the most sought-after musical instruments today. Its popularity is manifested all through-out the radio stations and the music videos in MTV. Almost all types of music in modern pop culture have been influenced by the guitar in one way or another.

For people who would like to get their hands on a guitar, they must first learn the guitar lingo. The guitar lingo is made up of weird-sounding words that are unique to the guitar world.

The guitar lingo also applies to the guitar parts. You must be able to know the parts of a guitar to be able to know how to play it. Here are some of the guitar parts:

-Body

This is also referred to as the sound box. This is the largest guitar part and it comes in different shapes and sizes. The acoustic guitars usually have a hollow body, while electric guitars have solid or semi-solid bodies. Acoustic guitars have hollow bodies because they rely on the body structure for sound resonation. Electric guitars use electronic pick-ups to amplify the sound.

-Headstock

The headstock is the part at the end of the guitar which holds the tuning keys. It is connected to the neck of the guitar.

-Nut

The nut is the piece between the guitar neck and the head. It is a small rod with indentations to hold the guitar strings in place.

-Neck

The neck is the long section which holds the fret board.

-Fret board

The fret board is divided into different notes by small metal rods. The number of frets in a fret board varies depending on the type of guitar and the brand. Modern electric guitars usually have 20-22 frets in the fret board.

-Bridge

It is a part of the guitar’s body and it is important in sound resonance. It gives some sort of elevation for the guitar strings so they can produce nice vibrations.

-Pick-up

The pick-up is an electronic device which acts like a microphone. It picks up the vibrations from the strings and converts these vibrations into electrical impulses. They are usually found in electric guitars

-Amp

The amplifier is like a speaker box where the sounds of the electric guitar come off.

-Capo

This is a device which is attached to the fret board. This thing allows a player to play the same chord structures but on a different key.

Plastic Surgery Breast Augmentation

admin | February 18, 2008

Nowadays you can find a lot of places where you can have the breast augmentation. Miami is one of the biggest plastic surgery centers in the USA, so if you live there you’re in the right place. But in order to be really satisfied with the surgery’s result, you have to know a few things and answer to a few questions first.

What exactly do you need from the breast augmentation?

What do you want from the breast augmentation? Miami or not, plastic surgeons can be only as good as you let them. If you don’t know exactly what you need, they won’t be able to do that. It’s not a problem when there are obvious or medical reasons to perform the surgery, but when you just want to look better, you need to know what exactly you would like to change. Especially when you don’t live there, having breast augmentation in Miami only to find out that’s not what you really wanted is not a very bright idea.

Building and Selling

admin | February 10, 2008

Builders know that by acting as their own general contractor, building their own home and living in the home, they earn instant equity in their home. Building and selling is one way to invest in property. By living in the home for a brief while, building another home and then selling the original, they can make even more money. There is an old saying among builders that “the third one’s free.” This means that, in a good real estate market, the equity that the builder makes with the sale of each home enables him to build the third home using the proceeds from the prior sales.

Contractors usually make about twenty percent of the total sales price of a home. This money can easily be transferred to an investor who acts as his or her own general contractor. Contracting a home to build is not easy, but it can save an investor homeowner quite a bit of money. There are many things to know about contracting a home, but there are also courses that one can take to learn about building a home.

Coin Pendants Combine Style and History

admin | February 5, 2008

Coin pendants are a wonderful jewelry choice, because they combine both style and history. Coins have been worn as coin pendants for years, with good reason. Women realized that they can have both a fashion statement and a conversation piece around their neck.

Coin pendants can be made of any piece of currency. Women often choose coins that have special meaning. For example, a woman with Italian heritage may choose to wear a coin pendant made of an Italian coin. Women with ties to a particular state may choose to have their home state quarter turned into a coin pendant. This way, you are wearing a piece of your personality and heritage.

Coin pendants are also special because they can be adorned in many beautiful ways. Coin pendants can be created with a simple metal setting holding the coin, but they can also have jewels surrounding the coin. Popular options are to surround a special coin in diamonds, rubies, or emeralds. The sparkle of gemstones brings out the shimmer and beauty of the metal of the coin.

Their ease of use and portability have made them a favorite among travelers everywhere.

What is the down side of purchasing a car DVD player? After all, there are so many good things to say about them that there must be a down side, right? There are a few. Like portable CD players a portable DVD player is very delicate, and it does not take much turbulence on the part of the vehicle to cause the movie to skip and freeze. The battery life of these devices is generally quite short, making it difficult to get through a full movie unless you have some means of connecting it to an electrical source. The screens of most of these devices are very small, and due to the fact that they employ a flat screen as well it is almost impossible for anyone sitting any distance away to have a good view of the action taking place.

Benefits of Using a Guitar Humidifier

admin | December 28, 2007

Guitars are usually manufactured in a controlled environment where the relative humidity of the room is kept at a consistent level; usually around 50 percent. In order to maintain the guitar’s original condition you should strive to achieve a similar level of humidity in your personal environment.
