			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Paramore, Linkin Park and most of the rocking bands wouldn&#8217;t be complete without the bass. The bassist puts on the mood to the music. The bass guitar is the lower tone you hear that adds rhythm and balance to the beat.  Youcan hear the wonderful melody of the bass when you close your eyes during a rock show. It&#8217;s that tone that wraps up the intense high notes the lead guitar brings.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Learning the bass guitar would become easier if you know stuffs about it. The bass guitar is a four stringed musical instrument. It&#8217;s a particular guitar that has only four strings. You can also learn to play bass with an ordinary guitar( which has six strings). The bass guitar&#8217;s strings are tuned on a certain note. The upper string which is the thickest on a STANDARD TUNE, is the E. Next to it is the string that has an A note. Third string is the note D and the lowest string is the G note.  In tuning the bass guitar, the each strings would carry differs on the tune it is being put up to- whether it is on Drop D, standard tuning or the likes.  The easiest way to tune your guitar if you don&#8217;t know how to or you don&#8217;t have any chromatic tuner is the Internet. Try viewing on Youtube and type on the search engine ‘Tuning the guitar&#8217;.<span id="more-74"></span>While tuning the guitar, sometimes broken strings arises. When that happens, you go to the Music store. Remember this; the numbering of strings is from highest to lowest. The highest string which is E would be the 4th string; A would be the 3rd string and so on. The frets are the small metal strips you feel and see on the surface of the neck of the bass guitar.  It divides the guitar&#8217;s surfaces into sections from top to bottom. The nearer fret you get to the body of the guitar, the higher the note the strings produce.  You learn to play bass with patience and practice. The right sound comes out when you hit the strings in between the fret.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To learn the bass there is a need for amplification.  The bass guitar as what you have learned is a lower tone. It is a comparison to a man&#8217;s singing voice which is also called the bass.  The lower tone the bass guitar produces the lesser sound you hear.  The bass guitar needs to be amplified so that the melody it makes could be audible.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can&#8217;t learn to play bass without something to read or to follow. Start buying books that have chords on it or tabs. If you want to learn without having to spend, search on the internet ‘bass guitar tutorials&#8217; or find a friend who is already playing in a band or who has a lot of knowledge on the bass guitar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are wondering, what is a chord? It&#8217;s that letter above every lyrics in a song book. It&#8217;s your basis on what note to play. The chord is made up of notes from A to G with flats and sharps, and is either played in Major or in Minor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tablatures are those widowed notes or made up notes to be plucked or strummed in the bass guitar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Practice hitting the strings with your finger. Use all four fingers in meddling the guitar&#8217;s strings. The faster and stronger you hit the strings with your finger, the better you become.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Put the neck of your guitar in between all you fingers for one minute each to stretch them. Do this before practicing songs. This serves as your warm-ups in rocking your guitar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember, not all practice makes perfect but perfect or right practice makes you the best of what you can become. So, stand up, pick up your guitar and start learning.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">So you want to make Hip Hop beats, huh? Well, if that is what you really want to do, what is stopping you? You can be a music producer but first you must get your mind right. If you do not believe it no one else will.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With all the information and technology available today, you can be a successful producer almost overnight. There are many producers who sell Hip Hop beats and Rap beats on the Internet. Many of these producers do not have million dollar, state of the art studios. They make beats in their bedroom or some spare room in their house.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you have a burning desire to be a music producer, then you can succeed. First of all, you must have some equipment. If you have a big budget you can get some top of the line music production tools like something from the MPC line from Akai. Computers are also very affordable and you can get a very reasonable computer and some music production software for under $500.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I started making beats with a borrowed beat machine. I actually borrowed it from a guy who borrowed it from someone else! I had it for almost a year and all it did was make drum beats. It did not have a keyboard or sequencer but it could be hooked up to some other instruments by MIDI.<span id="more-108"></span>Eventually, I graduated to another piece of equipment which had more features and I was able to make some real tracks. Later I got a computer and bought some industry standard software to make even better beats.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There was a burning desire within me to make my own beats. I knew I could write rap lyrics and I also knew what kinds of sounds I wanted to hear musically. If you are asking yourself what it takes to be a music producer, then you probably feel like this too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What are you going to do about it?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Get started now. Do some research on the Internet. Go to a music store and play around with some different equipment. Check with the salesman and see how much it would cost to get all the things you need to get your studio up and running. Find some local producers in your area and learn some techniques from them. Your options are unlimited if you use your creativity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Having problems finding the right kick drum sample? Do you know why this keeps happening? Every time you listen to your favorite track, you can hear how great their kick sample is. Don&#8217;t get frustrated, all producers have to go through this experience.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">An obvious solution to fix your kick drum sample is to use an equalizer, and is something most producers believe will work. Expecting to create an incredible sound in the mix-down will usually lead to disappointment. All the equalizing in the world won&#8217;t save your low quality samples. By trying a different method, you can avoid getting caught up in this mess.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you don&#8217;t mind B-grade audio quality, then you can do some kick drum sample adjusting with EQs. You can&#8217;t mix in an element into a sound if it wasn&#8217;t designed that way to begin with. When you&#8217;re working on your beat, you should be focusing on getting the sounds right.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you want great sounds, you&#8217;ve got to create them in your beat. Modify the samples and sounds as your producing your beat on the spot. You&#8217;re guaranteed to get the best result each and every time when doing it this way.<span id="more-80"></span>A good technique for enhancing your samples is to use a few of them at the same time. The primary kick drum sample will act as the guide. For some cool results, add the other sample on top of your initial one.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I know what you&#8217;re thinking, and yes there is more to it. Keep the faith; you&#8217;ll improve your skills tremendously in sound design the more you practice. Get yourself a head start by checking out videos that detail these and other production methods. Your kick drum sample will sound better than ever if you get all the education you can about beat making today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Music is one of the most beautiful ways to express yourself. Music can instantly light up your mood. All of us must be having a particular singer or a band that we are really fond of. Listening to their music may be one of the best things in the world for us. However if you have ever been for a gig, then you would understand how different it is when you get to get to see them in person.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So why is a live musical concert better than listening to them over your mp3 player or watching them on TV?  When you watch them on TV, it is very easy to comment on how easy it is to perform on stage. However, when you watch them performing in front of your eyes and in front of thousands of those in the crowd, it is only then that you realize how difficult it is and how much guts it takes. The true personality of a celebrity comes out when they are on stage. You can even judge them on the basis of how much of caliber are they blessed with. Not everyone can connect with the crowd so beautifully and make the crowd go crazy for them, just by there presence. The main reason being, performing in front of thousands in no joke. Sometimes these singers also pick people from the crowd to join them on stage. In case you are really luck you also get a chance of meeting your favorite band or singer backstage. You also get to meet thousands like you, who are huge fans of the musical star. You can watch your favorite singer perform on stage, while you can join the crowd who sings along. The stage, the lighting, the way the crowd cheers when the man of the evening comes on stage, the way the band connects with the crowd and the way the crowd responds back are more than enough to give you goosebumps.<span id="more-16"></span>If you have been someone who has been very passionate about music, live music concerts will surely work magic on your soul. It will be an experience that you will not forget all your life.</p>
