DO NOT USE HEADPHONES!!!!!!

Guys, I recently remembered something which I would like to share......I know I have written about volume control in the other post, but this is completely different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I just remembered about this and thought that you should know. Many people know about it, but those who do not, this is just for you. It is indeed a little hard to explain, but I will try my best. The thing is, you should not use headphones or especially earplugs extensively. Using them a little bit is okay for music, but not too much. Preferably, use speakers...unless your parents are somewhere near you and the song contains things which they would not want to hear. The only reason I am telling you this is because a study has shown that those who extensively use headphones, they cannot hear loud volumes of the speakers properly, which others can. Honestly speaking, I know nothing much about this. But this h

Editing your song

Earlier, I had told you about making your own song.  It is also important to know when your song needs editing. In this post, I am going to tell you a little bit about editing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sometimes, when a video is recorded, you get background noise. This happens mostly when a video is recorded unprofessionally. To control this, and make your audio and video sound awesome, some kind of editing is required... 1) Before recording the video : Before recording the video, make sure that nothing interrupts your video. If there are many people in your house, tell them not to enter your recording area (room, living room, whatever)...Keep your phone on silent for sometime...yes for that period of time no important calls should be attended to. 2) Nature of surroundings : If your air conditioner is silent enough, then put it on...close all windows and fans so that no noise is made by them and m

Improvising Well

Improvisation, which is also like a single person composing on the spot music on a backing track, is something that many people may have some kind of difficulty in. It is like on-the-spot composing.  You might have seen people, when they improvise or jam, they sound fabulous, but when you try it on the same scale, you may not sound as good. This is because of one simple thing- Ideas . Improvising is not only on the spot composition, but a mixture of all your ideas based on a particular scale.Improvising is also a matter of practice. It depends on how much time you put in. The more you practice, the more ideas will you get. And the more ideas you get, the better will be your compilation. Once you have created many small ideas, what you would want to do is start a long backing track and try playing out all the solos you have created till now. Keep doing this, and believe me, you will rock. So be sharp, be aware, and rock!!!!!!

How to make your own song

Okay, so now lets suppose you have created your band and you need tips on how to make songs...because you realise you are not good at making songs. So here goes my idea: 1) Visualise music : hmm. Very important. Visualise what kind of music do you want in this song. Soft rock, heavy metal, whatever. So this is the first step in creating songs. 2) Find your story : The best songs always have a story behind it. You may not recite it in the form of music, such as country, but it should have a base. 3) Use references : You should use references such as  Rhyme Zone  to find rhyming words for your song. 4) Limit... : There should always be a limit to the length of your song. Sometimes I sit with my guitar, and when I start singing I don't come to know how one hour passes. So keep a limit, and create your song. 5) I love singing : (actually I don't) but any way, once you have composed your piece, sing it in the tune you may want it to be sung. 6) Composing according to voc
