| Article Title :: MP3/Music Downloading Guide |
| |
|
Downloading music off the internet can be a tedious and usually
boring task. This article will show you how to find online music
faster and more precisely then ever before. There are a few
different ways of obtaining music over the net, however each one
has its own set of pro's and con's.
1) The first way is to download music off a basic web server or
website. Not only is this highly illegal, but it puts your
computer at risk to any number of ActiveX exploits, porn
pop-ups, and forced installs. This of course is necessary to
insure that the webmaster of the illegal site gains a profit,
off the expense of his surfers.
2) The second highly popular way to download music is through a
peer-t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Professional Mixing For Your Recording |
| |
|
There is something about a professional recording engineer
grabbing the faders of his console and going to work that just
seams to blow away what the average home recording guy can do.
Why can't you get the same sound in the your home studio mixes?
Let's see why.
I get emails from bands all the time who attempted to record
their band on a Roland recorder. Sometimes the sound quality of
their home tracking isn't all that bad. Some bands need to take
more time to get the performances they are looking for. If each
member of the band sounds good, the tracking should go pretty
smoothly. This is why I always recommend that a professional
mixes any project that means anything to the artist. Mixin (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Choose Your First Microphone For Your Recording Studio |
| |
|
When it comes to home recording gear, it seams the market is
flooded with thousands of choices. There are so many companies
out there and so much hype. It's hard to believe anything you
read. I've wrote this article to get your started with choosing
microphones. I have no advertisers to keep happy.
So you have decided to buy a studio microphone? The first notion
I'd like to shoot down is the "studio microphone myth". There is
no such thing as a studio microphone. A microphone will pickup
sound anywhere you put it. It doesn't have to be a recording
studio. It can be a kitchen. Granted, some mics are less durable
than others and these mics tend to be used more in the studio
than on stage sim (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Turning a Band Into Songwriters - 10 Songs In One Hour |
| |
|
While most bands have good or even very good drummers, guitar
players, and bassists (notice I didn't say singers), most bands
don't have good songwriters. In fact, songwriting is usually an
afterthought with most bands. That's why I came up with the 10
songs in one hour challenge.
That's right, if you did the math, you quickly figured out that
the band must write a song every 6 minutes to stay on target and
THEY MUST STAY ON TARGET. That's the challenge. You must enforce
that they have to get 10 songs done in one hour.
Here's how I do it: I divide the band in groups of two. If they
are a three piece, I'll jump in and play along. Each group gets
a guitar, a small amp, and small PA system. (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Everything But The Girl Release An Excellent CD Of Remixes With
Adapt Or Die: Ten Years Of Remixes |
| |
|
Remix albums are a hot thing now and Everything But The Girl
were definitely in line to release their own remixes perfectly
compiled on an album. I have to admit I am always first in line
to purchase any remix album that comes out and this release is
definitely worth it the purchase. It contains some awesome
remixes and Everything But The Girl are definitely one of the
artists from the 90's that wont be forgotten. This being mostly
for their massive remixed club hit of Missing off of the
Amplified Heart album. The remix that became a top ten hit was
remixed by Todd Terry. That remix is not on this Adapt Or Die:
Ten Years Of Remixes but they have a rare unreleased remix by CL
McSpadden. The (read full article) |

Ringtone Options Expanded for Verizon Customers
By Bob Bentz
Philadelphia - Like the Berlin Wall did over twenty years ago,
Verizon's cellular walled garden may be crashing down.
In the USA, as opposed to Europe and Asia, the mobile content
and ringtone market has mirrored the early days of the internet.
Remember when AOL tried to put up its own walled garden to keep
consumers within its product? It soon became obvious to AOL that
there was a world of information out there on the internet and
consumers demanded access to it.
For several years, Verizon customers have been limited in the
types of ringtones, cell phone wallpapers, and other mobile data
content that they were permitted t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Clouded Vision |
| |
|
To do or not to do? In one of Shakespeare's most popular
bloodbaths, the lead character Hamlet's tragic flaw was that he
could not make a decision and act upon it. Okay, the decision in
question revolved around whether he should murder his mother and
uncle in retaliation for his father's untimely death -- a real
pickle, no doubt. But Hamlet's inability to resolve his quandary
in an expedient manner culminated in the deaths of everyone
around him and placed him on the wrong end of a poisoned sword.
Most of us can relate to Hamlet's tendency to procrastinate when
we're faced with a decision. We weigh the pros and cons, we
analyze the costs versus the benefits, we visualize all possible
outco (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Local Coffee Shop |
| |
|
Many musicians complain about the lack of gigs they have, but
when I ask them to look closely at the type of venue they are
searching, the repeated pattern seems to be clubs, stadiums,
concert halls and pubs. What I would like to share with you is
this... keep a look out and be totally aware of the possible gig
locations so that you're not limiting yourself. How about
restaurants, parks, malls or my favourite, the local coffee
shops? Coffee shops are the next link in the chain of great
gigs. Depending on the venue, you can drop in several times and
build links with staff and get a feel for the type of customers
that come there. Make it your second residence!
Depending on the type of music (read full article) |

| |
|
Yes, it really is possible to go bananas with your music! Take
my word for it, because I've helped many musicians do so in the
past and here's your chance to do it too. One of the most
important ways to sky rocket your sales, increase your fan base
and music career is to start your online newsletter that keeps
people updated about what's going on in the life of an artist,
which is you. I'm quite pleased to say that the online
newsletters are one of the most important mediums through which
you can keep in touch with everyone, and of course, it's the
cheapest and cost-effective way of doing so.
There are so many newsletter providers online that can help you
for free or for a small fee. The o (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Is fear keeping you small? |
| |
|
I've worked with a few clients this August as most are on
holiday, but one concept which I feel keeps showing up is that
of fear.
Fear is our way of slowing down the progress we're making and
sometimes this can be a good thing. Certainly, a healthy amount
of fear can keep us safer, more secure, and can keep us from
taking rash action.
However, there are times when fear also acts to keep us small to
keep us from stepping fully into our own greatness and truly
owning our life and the success we create in it.
What are some cues that fear is keeping you small? First,you
have a persistent dream that you never seem to quite reach. You
keep coming close but never quite get there. You feel frust (read full article) |
