Music is emotion. Music is a sequence of waves that propagates through the air and elicits ecstasy, desire or joy in the listener. Music provides many things from audible pleasure to religious prayer and an entertainment product for the marketplace. If you are like most musicians, you harness skills as a singer, drummer, guitarist, bassist, percussions player, sound editor – and much more. Maybe, you have reached a time when you want to compose, record, produce and rehearse the next platinum selling album.
Voicing Your Authority
Music is performance. Music is the physical expression of culture as sound. Many people make and perform music for their own pleasure. Many musicians are professionals who work in their own bands, broadcasting, film production companies or teaching at music schools. All such opportunities enable the secular advancement of music.
Making Music You Want To Hear
Every musician has a dream of taking the leap of faith with your band and putting music career onto the fast track. The time couldn’t be better to get involved in audio recordings. Not long ago, you needed to go to a commercial studio and spend thousands of dollars if you wanted to make an appropriate-recording. Now, you can set up a recording studio in your garage or spare bedroom and create music as good as those coming from the professional studios. Turning your tracks into a finished song is now easier than ever.
Performing Your First Take
Your palms are sweaty, pulse rate is up and hands are shaking – as you get ready to press the digital RECORD button. There’s something about knowing what you’re about to do is for keeps or at least could be. Relax. Take a deep breath and remember that you’re both the artist and the producer. You can take as many “takes,” till you get the “take,” you are happy with. Plug in your instrument, set up your routing, select the levels and choose the song you wish to play. Congratulations, you are on your way to taking your musical career to the next level. Let the fun begin.
Improvisation As Invention
Musical improvisation is the creation of spontaneous music. Instantaneous composition by performers where compositional techniques are employed with or without preparation is considered improvisation. Such improvisation is the basis for many forms of Jazz, Hip-hop, Rap and even some Country Western.
Assembling A Song
You’ve recorded all the parts for your song, placed arrangements and structure the way that you want. But suddenly, you wonder what the song would sound like if you started with the chorus instead of the first verse. Lucky for you – digital music editing software such as Apple’s GarageBand or Logic Studio allows you to copy, insert, move and paste your music. The best part of this process is you can make the music sound the way you like without compromising sound quality.
Being Heard
The true approach to playing live and getting exposure still holds true today. Now you can harness the Internet to open doors – that can lead you to national and international audiences. To do this, you simply have to get your music on the Internet and promote it well.
Giving Your Music A Human Feel
Do not be so hooked on getting every note completely perfect that you miss the feel for a performance. If you listen to some of the greatest music ever recorded, the Rolling Stones – for example, you may hear some of the small mistakes that often make that piece of music memorable. So before you go editing the life out of your music, give it a good listen and see whether that note you want to fix is what gives the part its character. Go for it. Make your music real.
