If you are in a band you should look into CD replication. A lot of small bands that are up and coming will waste their time by doing it on their own. The problem with this is that it costs a lot more than if you just got them replicated. You can also have cool graphics on the disc that will help to present the image that you are going for. I mean, in some cases you might want a hand crafted look, but that is only going to fly if you are trying to impress the hipster crowd, and they are so fickle that it’s not even worth it. There are plenty of bands out there that would benefit from the services of a replication company, but they never even look into it. Don’t make the same mistake that so many others have. Save yourself the time and hassle of doing it on your own.

Playing Rock Guitar Like a Pro
Monday, December 5th, 2011It is not that difficult to play guitar well. To start out you simply learn the chords. You will start looking at the fretboard and have no idea how to play.
That is why you need to learn about the fretboard. It is great to learn the chords to learn how to play guitar. But I would also watch a really good guitar player play. Observe the notes he plays during solos or songs. I would recommend going on Youtube or if you know someone who plays well you can take lessons from them.
Just observing a guitar player go up and down the fretboard is a great learning experience. This is what some of the best guitar players have done. Start with the basic chords and then start learning some guitar songs to get your hands used to playing. It will take a while for your hands to toughen up.

Making the Crowd Love You when You Play Guitar
Thursday, October 20th, 2011There are very few things that feel as good as sitting in front of a large group of people and rocking out to your guitar. It is so awesome to see the reaction that people have when they hear you play the guitar. Especially when you are playing a riff or your playing the lead people really get into it especially if you are good at what you do. Also if you are able to add some nice effects to your guitar playing wow that completely and totally changes everything there is nothing that told a crowd in then hearing a few effects while you are playing on awesome guitar lead. I am right now looking at a Zoom G9.2tt review seen if I’m going to purchase this to help me add some effects to my guitar playing. We have a gig next month and right now we are preparing for it.
The Blue Eyed Sound
Sunday, August 28th, 2011A sub genre of soul music known as blue eyed soul produced a number of hits during the 70s and 80s. The genre was basically soul music played by white musicians and groups and could also incorporate other styles such as country or soft rock into the songs.
One such group that made music in this style is Hall & Oates. They scored four Billboard number ones and are considered by many to be one of the greatest song-writing teams of all time.
One such song that showcases their soulful sound is their number 1 hit “I Can’t Go For That”. The songs has received a lot of airplay on radio over the years and was one of the best 80s dance songs that knocked off Olivia Newton John’s “Physical” off the top of the charts.
Despite its relatively slow pace it was popular with dancers and also topped the R&B singles chart, which was something rarely achieved by a white group at the time and even today.

Remember that, because there are so many different types of songs that fall under this heading, you will not like everything you see.

Making Dynamic Microphones
Friday, August 19th, 2011To make dynamic microphones, you need to have a certain amount of skill, though this basic guide should give you a basic overview. First, you’ll need a diaphragm which is suspended in a strong magnetic field. The diaphragm must be connected to a voicecoil, which will move when sound waves hit it. It will generate an electric current which in theory is supposed to be an exact replica of the sound wave. The element or capsule creates the directional characteristic, thus when you are using a one directional mic, the back of the mic is sealed. Constructing a mic is very similar to making a small speaker, and although you could use your new mic as a speaker, this is not recommended if you want a great quality track. Ensure that when using your mic, you don’t match the impedance of the mic to the pre-amp as it reduces the signal level and the signal to noise ratio.
