Hip Hop Beat Making

By Jackson Trudde

Beat making is cool and while something is fun it feels easier. Beat making is an art form, although that is no purpose for a beat maker to be broke. Beat making is a secluded job and with no exception, venturing outside only for vital things like pizza eating. Beat making is an art form originating from the years of early hip hop. Beat making is generally performed on the computer aided by devices or specific programs.

Beat making is commonly performed on the computer aided by devices or dedicated programs. Beat making is the means of making a song with the intent for a rapper or singer to vocalize over. Beat making is not my life, it is simply a hobby which stems from my deep-seated blessing of musical inclination. I get pleasure from spending my nights on the laptop coming up with innovative beats and who knows possibly one day I could be the guy whos beat you are listening to.

Capturing brainwaves when beat making is like mining for gold it is hidden so don't miss the break. You will learn it and having good software is fundamental. With the right tools you have the potential to do anything. It may seem basic, but the fundamentals of ALL beat making are there yet now that beat making is so highly developed because of the music software out there you may as well just name it producing. More to the point, the process of Huge beat making is really, really difficult (all one has to do is look at Dre in his studio or someone like him). While computer-based beat making is my own personal preferences, you could want to know that there are alternatives on the contrary much more complex.

It takes a lot of time and patience to do this beat making and it is not at ease you have to believe the music and listen over and over turn out to be one along with the sound track and look deep inside. Recollect it is resembling digging for gold, look for and you will unearth. In fact, if you need to get even more definite, you could say rapping/beat making is kind of a talent but I say it again having the proper tools like Sonic Producer will make life a hell of a lot easier and you will really find yourself producing some mad beats in a very little time.

I hope that you like this straightforward overture to construct your own music beats. Unhappily, like with most other products, with the success of this technology a quantity of publishers have released impostor products out there hoping just to exploit on its victory and make a buck. Take the guess work out and take a crack at something that people are raving in relation to. Sonic Producer is an first-rate example of this and will have you mixing beats in a extremely quick time. - 18762

What you can learn from a Piano DVD?

By Michael Mickey Charles

Some of us are looking for a way to introduce piano into our lives but are not quite ready to begin the process of hiring an instructor. Other, more advanced pianists are looking to explore new types of music. A piano DVD may be the perfect solution for the new piano player or a more experienced pianist that may want to add a new type of music to their repertoire. The following are three of the most popular piano DVD choices and what they have to offer.

10 Easy Lessons! Piano Beginner Book, CD and DVD set hosted by Gary Turner.

An easy to follow and user friendly introduction to chord and melody playing, this is best for children under 5 who have just begun piano playing. It contains lessons with favorite childhood songs which makes it more fun for young music students.

The Mp3 Bitrates Your Should Use

By Zachry Nest

Anyone that listens to music and has some knowledge on how to download music off the Internet, or how to rip music off a CD, or even knows how to burn a CD has probably heard of the term Mp3. However, many people out there don't quite know what an Mp3 exactly is. If you are one of those people, then its safe to say that you don't know what a bitrate is either.

If you happen to be unaware of that an Mp3 is, then don't fear because you will learn exactly what an Mp3 is, what a bitrate is and more. Once you have completely read though this article, you will be more aware of what Mp3's are and the role the bitrate plays in the quality of an Mp3. To begin, the question must be asked: What exactly is an Mp3? The Mp3 is a highly efficient, patented form of compression.

All that means is that an Mp3 is the compressed form of the original audio file. You may ask yourself: Why compress an audio file to begin with? The reason why we compress audio files is because original, uncompressed audio files tend to have massive file sizes. Without compressing audio files, it would be unpractical to store. On the opposite end, if you decrease the file size of an audio file too much, the audio quality will be negatively affected.

The Mp3, also known as MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, is meant to deal with that issue by shrinking the file sizes without negatively affecting the audio quality. Here is where the bitrate comes into play. The bitrate is the number of bits (units of information) that is processed per second. Now I know that sounds somewhat technical, but just look at it like this. The bitrate is the amount of information that the Mp3 player, computer, or other device reads per second.

The more information the device reads per second, the higher the audio quality. But on the other end, the more information per second, the bigger the file size will be. A common bitrate of an Mp3 file is 128 kbit/s. Just in case you aren't aware, the 128 kbit represents the number of kilobytes and the /s means per second. Now consider this example: Imagine you have an Mp3 player with 20 gigabytes of storage and you have 100 Mp3 songs each with a bitrate of 128 kbit/s.

Now imagine that you have another Mp3 player with 20 gigabytes of storage and you have in your Mp3 player 100 Mp3 songs each with a bitrate of 192 kbit/s. You would have less space in the 2nd Mp3 player because the file sizes of the 100 Mp3 songs with the bitrate of 192 kbit/s are bigger.

Bitrate is important because it helps determine the audio quality of the file. Now that you have a basic understanding of what an Mp3 file is and what the bitrate is and why it is important, I would like to share with you my favorite bitrates and why.

To be more specific, my favorite bitrate changes depending on what device I will be playing my Mp3 file on. If Im going to play my Mp3 file on my Mp3 player, then my favorite bitrate to encode at is 192 kbit/s. I prefer that bitrate because it is the same bitrate songs are encoded on CD's (also known as CD quality) and the audio file size generated is relatively small. If I plan to listen to my Mp3 music on my computer, then my favorite mp3 bitrate is 256 kbit/s.

Though the increased bitrate will produce a slightly higher file size, the audio quality would be improved. If I plan to listen to my Mp3 music on my cell phone or a device with a small amount of storage, then the bitrate I would encode my Mp3 files at 128 kbit/s. Now that you know my favorite bitrates, I recommend that you use them because I believe they produce the best combination of audio quality and file size. - 18762

Write For The World

By Robert M Petrie

There are many words and they can be put together in many different arrangements to make for some fantastic reading. We all have the ability to use these same words and arranged them into our own work, whether it is a Poem or a Book.

If we do use the words that are available to us and create a book from them, who decides whether that book is any good or not. This is the the frustrating part of writing, because up till now it has been the Publishers that have decided whether or not your work, my work or any bodies work is right for the world to have access to and enjoy or not.

Think of all the great books that we haven't read because it was down to Publishers whether they got to print or not, how do they know what the public wants. Have they ever actually asked them.

All those wasted words that have never reached their audience. The audience may have loved them, yet they never got them.

Now of course, Thanks to the Internet we can write what ever we want to and make it available to the world without having to go through anyone for approval. I for one think this is great and it means that there is a lot more material available for people to enjoy.

If I write a Story or Poem then I would like the choice of deciding if I want others to read it. I have that choice and my work can be seen on the Internet. You never know you might like it, but I have the choice to let you read it and you have the choice to then read it or not. The point is the choice.

Bypass the Publishers and get your own work out there for the people of this world to read. We have the stepping stone before us in the form of the Internet. - 18762

When you are searching for movie download sites, look for information about download speeds. Most of them will offer some valid information that can help you to make to go more rapidly.
