Straightforward Beat Maker - it does not get Much Better Than This

By Mick LLaleBeoufey

If your looking for an easy beat maker then you have come to the right place. In a second I'm going to point you in the right direction, as to where you can go to find the most simple beat maker on the market. But first let's look at some of the features of beat maker that you would need to look for.



First - The most imposrtant trait to have a look for is the "user friendliness" of the sequencer. A program is useless if you can not use it. The sequencer is what lets you bring the music in your head into existence.

It's like the midwife, helping you to bring a kid into the globe. If it's's too difficult to use, it stutters your momentum and kills your creative energies.

2nd - Is the portfolio of sounds. A simple beat maker, one should not sound cheap just because it's gauche, but it should also have a wealth of sounds to select from. The vital thing to have a look for in any beat maker's sound bank, is if it has combos, also known as layered sounds.

These are sounds that have been mixed with another to give it a more full and richer feel. Like a horn mixed with a kick drum. These sounds typically give a beat that "head nod". If you have a fine supply of these, you can make a hot beat by mistake, simply by randomly placing these sounds in your sequencer.

third - Tutorials. It doesn't get any less complicated than someone telling you what to do, step by step. The program particularly that I'm about to show you has video help texts given by the creator of the software himself. It just does not get any better. . - 18780

Three Killer Music Production Tips

By Abdal Girmani

When I first setup my studio I can recall mixing a song for hours only to burn a CD, take it to my car, and be disappointed. Bad mixes are a typical problem for most beginners. While music production software has many options and features, the human hear is the final judge of a good mix.

Bad Mixes are sometimes a result of poor hearing, however this can be modified with 2 adjustments. Here are the worst mistakes newbies make when mixing music.

Studio Monitors are the number one culprit of bad mixes. You will get what you pay for, so choose a good set of studio monitors. Pick monitors from popular brands for perfect result. Where studio monitors aren't available, exploit 4 playback devices, headphones, house speakers, multimedia speakers and a subwoofer.

Here's another mistake producers make when picking a place to set-up a home studio.

Most studios are setup in small rooms, sometimes bedrooms and den areas. Small rooms create muddy mixes. Attempting to mix your song in a little room will create an imaging problem.

Inaccurate Imaging makes it hard for your ears to determine which instrument is being panned and correct panning creates clearness. My best recommendation is avoid mixing in rooms smaller than 6ft X 6ft.



Another frequent mistake is shortage of Soundproofing. Many newbies will either use soundproofing too little or overuse it.

Start by Placing Studio foam behind your studio monitors, this may kill the echo from the front end of your room. Then, place an object like a diffuser or book shelf on the wall immediately behind you while you are mixing your track, this may help you to clearly hear the mid frequencies. Create bass traps for your studio. Bass traps will scale back the low end rumble in your studio. Research you will find lots of websites which will show you the easiest way to set-up bass traps and soundproof your room. All of these tips will ensure better studio mixes in the future.

What Are The Precise Problems Of A Motion Picture Blockbuster?

By Ruth K Martinez

Whenever a Hollywood movie is made the objective is to create a motion picture that the public loves and that will become a smash hit. Take a good plot, throw in a few talented stars along with some special effects and voila', a huge box office success. But it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes a film will include everything that you think might make it a success and it still fails at the box office. There is no such thing as a sure thing in Hollywood.

There is certainly no threshold to the amount of cash that can be utilized in order to entertain us with a smash hit film. Then again, until the film in reality hits the movie theater and proves itself with ticket sales it is really a risk. Some directors seem to have the magical touch. There are also some actors who seem to be able to warrant a blockbuster hit, on the other hand, many a film has failed even with the most famous actors.

Hollywood has brought us what seems like millions of motion pictures and it would seem that they would know exactly what the public wants to see. However, popular opinion is erratic and there are no sure things. Sometimes a big-budget film with all of the seeming precise components for triumph still fails miserably at the box office.

One excellent and relatively recent case in point of a high-priced film failure is the 2005 film "Sahara". While it opened at the box office in a good way, grossing $18 million the first weekend and actually did reasonably well by generating $122 million in gross-box office sales the motion picture cost so much to make that the movie essentially lost money. This movie had expenses of $281.2 million during production but when it was said and done it only brought in sales of $202.9 million. That is quite a failure even by Hollywood standards.

Looking at the contrast, in'99, "The Blair Witch Project" really had the highest ratio of box office sales compared to production costs in American filmmaking history until 2009 when "Paranormal Activity" exceeded it. There are varying reports on the production cost of "The Blair Witch Project" but the highest estimation was at $100,000. This motion picture grossed over $248 million at the box office globally.

One of the major keys to producing a hit is to cause a buzz around the film via media treatment and frenzy. This helps create anticipation and contributes critically to a ticket sellout on the opening weekend. However, opening day revenues will never tell the complete story and a film must continue to make box-office sales in order to be thought to be a success.

With as many motion pictures as there are, you may think that Hollywood would have it down and know precisely how to cater to the public and bring them the movies that they love. However, part of the exhilaration for both moviegoers and producers is the fact that there are no guarantees. Even the most well-liked actor occasionally has a box office failure and even the most certain of movie storylines can stop working.

There will still be movies that are unanticipated blockbuster hits and of course there will always be movies that are unanticipated blockbuster failures and that is part of the appeal and allure of the movie industry. Because you never know precisely what the public will completely enjoy! - 18780
