The primary function of the filters is to remove part of the sound. Then the reduced part you end up with is totally different to the entire portion that was started with. The base of the whole idea of subtractive synthesis is dependent on filters, which’re one of the most primary sections of the creation of sound. All frequencies reach a cut-off, which is the main filter control. There’re some more recognise types of filters example

A band on frequencies that’re permitted to pass through the center is called as a band pass. Whatever frequency outside of this band are blocked.

The low pass filter is the most popular. Any frequencies found below the cut-off point are permitted to pass through.

Frequency bands found in the center are not permitted to pass through cause of the band notch reject.

The opposite of the low pass of course is the high pass. This filter lets each of the frequencies above the cut off point to pass.

The higher the attenuation slope number the more effective it is. The regular numbers are 6dB, 12dB, 18dB, and 24dB per octave. It is the increased steepness of every octave that makes this effective. When you compare a higher pitch like 2000Hz, which’s a higher octave, that 1000Hz. It suggests that a 24dB filter is doubly effective as a twelve dB filter.

A 2 pole filter is not very effective in frequency reduction. Having a 4 pole filter creates a muted dull sound cause the increased number of poles attenuate the signal. The frequency is boosted by the resonance, which’s other essential feature.

The set frequency increases by being boosted. By doing this the filter with create its personalized sine wave, signifying it has self oscillated. And then if you change the filter frequency, you can control the pitch.

Creating a filter sweep is simple by using an envelope or LFO This will give you some brilliant sounds. Resonance by itself is good giving a little more high-end sound.

Playing the blues, music is something that many guitarists aspire to do. Some it comes to easily whereas others find it more difficult. Another thing about the blues music is you either love it or hate it. By the looks of how popular it is, one would have to say that those who hate it are in the minority.

One of the greatest if not the greatest blues singers was B.B.King. Many novices to the guitar marvel at how well he plays them and just how it’s done. To do so you need to learn the 12 bar blues. Don’t give up yet with some perseverance and practice you will master the blues as well.

Have you ever been listening to the blues and just know it reminds you of something? Well it may well do so if you remember the African American slaves from down south. It stems from their local traditions of how they would call out and respond to each other. The majority of blues songs is simply based on this and mimics those sounds. It is the progressive scale.

If you have been following the history of blues music then you have heard the name W.C.Handy. By using the 12 bar blues he was able to produce the very first certifiable blue hit. This is going back some years naturally, since blues has been around for a long time. We’re talking back to the introduction of the “St. Louis Blues” back in 1914.

Interestingly enough at that time the blues wasn’t all that well received it was just ok in the opinion of most. It slowly caught on and almost seemed to have an infectious affect to it.It didn’t matter what the ethnic group was it was being accepted. It really was the African American artist that brought the blues to the forefront. Artists such as Billie Holiday played a big part in this roll. By this time, it was well in the 1930′s. As the 20th century grew to a close, B.B.King added a unique touch to the Blues. Being a lead guitar player, he would bring a different touch to the music with his 12 bars blues techniques. From this point on there was no looking back or cooling off for the blues. It has just continued to grow into popularity, as it is known today.

It revolutionized the aspects of guitar playing. The 12 bars blues is now a commonplace and basic way of the guitar. Anyone aspiring to be good guitar player must learn the essential cord progression.

One of the best ways to learn this technique is through iVideosongs. Here is where you will start the beginning of learning the 12 bar blues, and then by taking what you learn here and making it a practice you will soon be surprised and pleased at how adept you will become.

It just seems to be natural to begin to learn how to play the 12 bar blues the moment one becomes serious about learning to play the guitar. Perhaps because rock includes the 12 bar blues this is the reason.

The first thing you are going to learn is that in order to learn the blues you are going to learn three bars that follow each other in succession.

The first measure is learning how to play a chord. If you are familiar with Presley’s some Hound Dog then you already know what a cord is. Don’t even think about moving onto the next step until you have this one down perfectly.

Now moving onto the second measure does not mean you will not be continuing in the 4/4 time meaning each quarter measure is one beat. The difference here is that in the first measure you were playing in “A” now you will be playing in “D” chord. Once again, become really familiar and comfortable at this measure then get ready to move onto the third and final measure.

Finally, you are here on your last measure and guess what? It’s no different from your first two except now you are going to be playing in “E” chord. That really wasn’t so hard was it? Now it means hours of practice and application to really master these 3 measures to make up the 12 bar blues.

Thousands of songs, penned by thousands of songwriters, and I’m sure they all have their own individual ways of converting that initial germ of an idea into what they hope will become a hit song.

I am always being asked:-

a. Does the melody come first, followed by the lyrics?
b. Do the lyrics come first followed by the melody?

Speaking for myself, neither of the above are true!

99% of the time the title comes first, and I cannot stress enough the importance of a strong song title. My inspiration and starting point for a song normally comes from something someone has said , or from a catchy phrase or magazine/newspaper headline I have spotted. Once I’ve found the title, it immediately suggests a mood to me, and once that mood has been established it’s time to get on with the song.

So, without further ado, get those newspapers/magazines out and start searching for that all important starting point. Find a phrase/headline that grabs your attention and build your song around that.

The title you choose will no doubt suggest a mood for the song. If your title happens to be ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll Gutbucket’, it implies immediately that it’s going to be a pretty heavy piece of work, rather than a tender love ballad. It is essential that the title strongly suggests to the listener what is to follow.

Here’s how MY latest song was conceived:-

I was idly leafing through a magazine when a headline literally leapt off the page at me:

‘I’M TURNING INTO GARBO’

What a great title for a song! ‘TURNING INTO GARBO.’
The legendary Hollywood actress Greta Garbo, and her famous ‘I want to be alone’ quote. Surely I thought, I must be able to do something with this!

Immediately I reached for the notepad and pen which never leave my side. It’s always important to have them there for just such a moment! Great ideas die just as quickly as they are born!

The title I had chosen suggested to me an air of quiet reflection. I could picture a man who had lived a big life, experienced all the good and bad things that life can throw at you, and was looking back on his past. Some of the dreams have perished, some still remain. The kids he raised have flown the nest, his wife is long gone, and now he has decided to find some peace and tranquility, and to treasure whatever time he may have left.

The lyrics came remarkably quickly, and the verses are simply constructed around the chords D & A

Verse 1.
I’m turning into Garbo, I want to be alone,
Turning into Garbo, need to spend time on my own,
Leave the crowds behind me, try to find tranquility,
Find a little home beside the sea

Verse 2.
I’m turning into Garbo, want some peace and solitude,
Turning into Garbo, hope it wont be misconstrued,
Now I’m growing older, want to leave the crowds behind
Try to find myself some peace of mind.

Verses 1&2 explain the desire to get away from the rat race to a new and peaceful environment. Having stated this, he feels, halfway through verse 2, that his friends might feel he’s turning his back on them, but hopes that they will understand.

Never having been a maestro when it comes to the use of chords, I was more than pleased with the chord sequence for the chorus/bridge. (Call it what you like). The chord progression goes from F# – Bm – G – F# – Bm – G – A – F# each chord lasting for one line of the chorus. Then on the last word of the chorus a final A leading into the D at the start of Verse 3

Chorus
I’ve had my share of ups and downs, I’ve laughed a lot and cried,
Struggled through the bad times, And heaven knows I’ve tried,
To keep a smile upon my face, When things were going wrong,
I’m turning into Garbo, It says so in this song

Verse 3 starts with a ‘Less is More’ quote from Robert Browning. I hate to admit this, but I don’t know which of his works it comes from. However it was just what I was looking for to set the mood for this last verse.

Verse 3.
Browning said that ‘Less is more’, I’m certain that it’s true,
It’s good to be alone at times , that’s one thing that he knew
But once a year in summertime my friends all visit me,
In my old secluded home beside the sea

I feel the last verse ends on a happy, positive note with our subject achieving his aim of a peaceful life, but getting the best of both worlds as his friends come to visit him in the summertime.

The chorus and Verse 3 are repeated, and a final line added which simply states ‘and I’m turning into Garbo??..that’s me’. Wraps it up nicely I think!

The song almost seemed to write itself, and it took me no longer than 2-3 hours from beginning to end. When a song happens in that sort of time I feel it’s a very good sign. The harder I have to work at a song, the farther down in my estimation it goes!

The demo I did of the song was done in my home studio, and initially had lots of harmonies on it. I lived with it in that form for a while, but decided it was far too regimented, and had lost its simplicity and charm. I stripped it down to the bare bones, and tried to sing it the way I felt somebody like Willie Nelson would have done, and for me it worked. All I need now is for Willie to record it!!!

* * * *

Well, hopefully that’s given you an insight into how building a song around a title works for me, and thank you for reading my little article.

So, don’t forget. The next time you see a phrase or headline that catches your eye, reach for that notepad and pen and start writing that song! It may not work out, but hey, what is there to lose?

!!! IF YOU DON’T BUY A TICKET, YOU WON’T WIN THE RAFFLE !!!

Starting your child on a musical instrument is an exciting prospect. Many parents dream of being the proud parent sitting at their child’s music recital, hearing the final strains of a beautiful selection coming from his fingers. However, starting a child too early on an instrument can lead to failure and frustration. Most instruments require some measure of strength and understanding that a small child does not have. If you are considering guitar for your child, here is what you need to know.

The Best Age

Children need to have strong enough wrists and fingers in order to successfully play chords on the guitar. For this reason, experts recommend waiting until a child is at least seven years old to start this instrument. Children who want to start playing before the age of seven can start on the piano. They will learn basic chords, notes, and rhythms while their bodies grow strong enough to play the guitar.

Choosing the Right Type of Guitar

One of the first decisions you will have to make when you are ready to give your child guitar lessons is the type of guitar you are going to have him play. You have two basic choices: acoustic or electric. An acoustic guitar is typically played by strumming chords as an accompaniment to a song. Electric guitars can also be played by playing chords, but they are also used to play “leads” in modern songs. Children can learn to fingerpick easier with an acoustic guitar, but power and barre chords are easier on an electric. The choice is really a personal one. You will have to think through the situations when your child is likely to play his instrument and then decide which one is a better fit.

Considering Group Lessons

Beginning guitarists often learn in a group setting. There are benefits and downsides to group lessons. Most parents choose this option because it is the most affordable. Also, children may feel more comfortable in a group setting, especially if they are not used to being one on one with a grown up outside of their families. On the other hand, students do not get to benefit from this one on one attention in a group setting. In an individual lesson, the teacher is able to pinpoint areas that the child needs to work on much easier, because she is not assessing the needs of several students at once.

You will have to decide which lesson structure is the best fit for your child’s needs and your family’s budget. Your son or daughter will be able to learn guitar in either setting, so do what works best for you.

Encourage Good Practice Habits

Once you have started lessons, you must work hard to encourage your child to practice. Keep the guitar in a visible location, and allow your child to practice whenever she wishes. However, insist on scheduled practice times as well. Schedule a practice time every day, and make sure your child sticks with it. Keep distractions and interruptions to the minimum when it is practice time. Make sure your child’s music is readily accessible, and record the amount of practice time when it is over so you can show the guitar teacher.

When your child is practicing, be encouraging, not critical. Your child is going to make mistakes, and that is part of learning a musical instrument. It’s the teacher’s job to correct mistakes. Your job as a parent is to encourage and support. Soon you will be enjoying the beautiful sounds of precise chords coming from the practice room as your hard work and persistence begin to pay off!

Many music lovers want to go beyond the pure pleasure of just listening to music. There are people out there like myself that believe that way deep down inside them, they have the creative juices it takes to create and produce their own chart topping hits. The problem is most of those people like me just do not have the pocket books to accommodate the cost of expensive synths and a professional studio setup.

Having said all this you can imagine my joy when I stumbled across a system that would allow me to make the music I have always dreamed about. Of course, there are professional types on the market with the price tags of thousands of dollars. However, the beauty of this system though is that it is professional quality, priced at a reasonable level for beginners to start out. This is a review of “VSTPlatinum”.

The package promises a “push-button” and easy solution to start making professional music. My first concern was how much studio experience would I need? Within a matter of seconds, I got my answer. Absolutely none! Now I knew that within days I would be on my way to making my own music. Surely, it would be just the basics but that was ok, it’s a start. I was just thankful to find something outside of the professional VSTs price range.

As excited as I was, I was still a little skeptical. After all what credibility was there to this proposal? As I read about Greg Hoffman and his credentials, I knew he wasn’t going to risk his character on selling something inferior. After all, he’s a reputable sound engineer and after being in the business for 25 years there’s little doubt that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I was even further impressed when I learned that Greg had worked with renowned named companies such as Sony BMG Music. I mean to work for the big guns you had to know your stuff.

By now, I’m convinced that the VST platinum is soon going to be mine, now I wanted to hear about all that I was going to be able to do with it. With over 1700 plugins and 4000 sound effects, this is definitely an easy headstart for home studio enthusiasts. No longer do you have to mess with complicated hardware or overprice synthesizers.

VST Platinum promise that I would able to create great sounding music and sound samples easily and quickly with software based systems. It wasn’t also likely that I would outgrow the system in the near future as it has over 1700 VST plugins of superior plugins and 4000 sound effects.

At the price Greg is offering, I think it is a “no-brainer”. I went ahead and placed my order and I couldn’t wait to get my VST platinum DVD in the mail because I knew once I didn’t it wasn’t going to take days of reading manuals and constant learning. I would be at it within no time at all.

By not having all that extensive learning, hardware tweaking and jargon to follow, it meant more time for what I loved to do most – and that’s making music. Now with state of the art VSTs like those offered in VST Platinum – look out world here I come!

You need to ensure that all of the songs you record will be playing back at the appropriate volume for the listener. To start with, set your monitor level. The better way to do this is to first listen to a song you are genuinely familiar with. Be sure it is a zero peaking song. Have it at the level it’s suppose to be at. An enjoyable listening level. Once you’re at this stage, don’t change the monitor levels but instead adjust the master track of the song you are working on.

It is suppose to sound at a suitable level for listening. Then check the meter levels to make sure they’re not on over-load. If it is on over-load then consider placing a limit rather than turning the level down. Make a note of the level setting that’s on the monitor. You’ll have this in future to refer to.

Try to bear in mind that it’s not how high you get the volume to, but the quality of the volume that’ll make the recording a success. Ideally, it will be to show the level of the instrument that it is meant to go to not beyond its means. Technology is a fantastic tool but it doesn’t beat common sense and instinct.

Dont lose sight of the fact there’s no need to record at maximal volume of a multitrack. Various people will argue then why is it necessary to have a sixteen bit dynamic range it you are not going to use it. A come back to that remark will be why bother trying to record the cabasa at precisely 16 bits when its never going to represent more than 12 bits anyway.

Some other issues of not wanting to have the sound cranked up to maximum is in the event you’ve to use a favourite. These are not precisely user friendly when having to be utilized at low level. But if you record at logical and practical levels you could avoid redundant time consuming headaches such as these.

You can end up with numerous large mixing problems if you are utilizing an analogue mixing desk long with some thing like hi-hat recorded at max, on digital multi-track. If numerous of the items are constantly peaking at 0 then when turned off, you’ll still hear them in the background. This’s in reference to items like hi-hats, cabasas or cymbals for instance
In this case, you should not be surprised to find every of that electrical leakage being reverb on the hi hat, as just one cause. Items like bass drum and snare drum are meant to be played loudly but not the top kit items or the quiet instruments.

What I’m trying to say is to bear in mind to find the moderate levels. From there you’ve some leverage to work with, either up or down as the situation or sound or instrument dictates. At the very end, you are going to end up with a superior piece of recording. After all music is every thing about sound.

Naturally, anyone performing a live gig wants it go without whatever problems. Simply keep numerous of the following in your head, and you will be on your way to a simple and fascinating performance.

Make sure your power equipment is entirely adequate. It can get a bit unsafe if you’re not familiar with the plug sockets and sources of power. Safe-guard yourself by committing in a power conditioner. Carry it with you every where you go. If you utilize 1 live, it can be the very thing that would save that favourite equipment of yours. It is not a bad idea to get into the habit of utilizing one all the time, even at home, to protect against power surges. If you’re not using this then you would want to power with all batteries. If so, then don’t forget to bring back ups.

Things could get misplaced easily. So be sure to preserve your patches elsewhere besides the actual synthesizer. You should do this even if you don’t have a live gig because some thing can go wrong with your synthesizer.

Do not skimp on your furniture supports. Make sure to use powerfully constructed key-board stands. The best to use is the double braced x-style types. The ones that are manufactured for multiple key-boards. Be sure to have good rack mount and flight cases. This’s 1 area that you don’t want to cut costs. You truly cannot afford to have your equipment broken by accidents.

Make sure your analogue gear or analogue key-boards are not old. They wont keep a tune, they can stop to work at any time, and a few of them don’t even have patch storage. If you are going to be doing live gigs then you need the right up-to-date equipment. Remember that modular synthesizer are not feasible too.

Try to plan forward. For instance, create your patches on some other synths pre-existing to the event. It could be a life saver as well as great practice for your programming endeavors.

Don’t be caught with out extra cables. A couple of musician that plays an electrical instrument will tell you that. Keyboard synthesizer players have to rely on these cables to carry their sounds out to the audiences. If money is tight and you cannot afford too many then leastwise have several 6.35mm with you.

Do yourself a favour and just bring the synths that you absolutely need. That way there is less equipment to look after. Plan ahead of what you’ll need. Remember to exclude any spare expansion or memory cards out of the synths.

Give a few thought to your ear monitoring. You must be able to hear your music and that of your bands when playing live. You need to determine if the onstage monitors will be good enough. If you’re not convinced of this then consider using headphones. This can be inexpensive if you consider Shure EC range in ear monitoring buds.

If you’re going to utilise various synthesizer then make sure youve your individual mixer. That way it keeps your area presentable because it eliminates are the strings of cables, and keeps you in a position to be able to control the synthesiser levels. It’s fundamental to have your personalised key-board sub mixer.

VST plugins are beginning to collect a lot more interest as music buffs and computer buffs put these two interests together. What was once thought unimaginable by some astute computer operators is now starting to appear as not being all that tough.

VST plugins in its easy terminology stands for Virtual Studio Technology by Steinberg. Visualize being able to have your individual virtual studio. The VST is actually the interface that allows the use of soft-ware consisting of action synthesizers and effects the plugins with audio editors and recording systems.

Software is the catalyst between the VST and the simulation of a traditional recording studio. If you’re to compare the VST plugins with the actual switches and knobs on the actual hard ware you would see the similarities. It would then not appear quite so foreign to you if you’re familiar with the hard version of the studio equipment. The VST plugins are hosted within a workstation that’s a digital audio type.

If you think that there’re just a few plug-ins to pick out from, you’re incorrect. You are going to be rather flabbergasted to discover there are thousands of several types to select from. I bet you are thinking about your pocket book right now, but the nice thing is there’re various that are freeware, and naturally, there’re commercial ones available as well.

Being as VST is so popular its good to know that there’re many audio applications that support them. Say you are going to become involved in VST plug-ins then you’ll need a VST host.
