Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Music is the art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre. Composition is the creation and recording of music via a medium by which others can interpret it. Composing may be as simple as creating music beats or writing an entire song. Thanks to modern technology, it is not fairly easy to produce or to create music on the computer. All you need is a professional music producing software. Here’s how music beats can be composed and recorded right on the computer:

Download a music production software program from the internet. Programs like these are specifically designed to make and record beats. In fact, many professional beat makers use them. Decide on the tempo of your beat. The tempo refers to the pace of the music, or how fast or slow the beat of the music is. It will greatly depend on the type of beat and the style of music you are making.

Create a drum pattern to use for your music beat. You can use a variety of combinations of kick, snare, and hat drum sounds to create the pattern. Then, record a bass line for your beat.

Add various instruments and record your melodies for the beat. Melody refers to musical phrases or a coherent series of notes. The melody can be made up of rhythm cords and scale lead sections. Mix your beat, which is the longest and most essential part of the beat-making process. Finally, save your beat as an MP3.

Learning how to create music beats on the computer is truly a great way to express your musical creativity. It’s a good thing that the many advancements in technology has made it possible for even the average person to produce music right from the comfort of his own home and without spending a lot on complex studio equipment.

How to Record TV Shows for Youtube and DVD

Why Record TV Shows for Youtube or DVD Well, there are many merits to record TV shows, followed by either burning to DVD or upload TV shows online. Therefore, you can preserve favorite TV shows for a long time, or watch TV shows later in office even if you have not a TV set there. Good idea and being a bad man, huh? Anyway, learn how to record TV on your PC in the cheapest way now!

Connect TV Signal Cable to PC

You need an internal TV Tuner Card or an external TV Tuner to receive the TV shows signal. By doing this, your computer is turned to a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). After the TV card or TV Tuner is correctly installed to your PC, connect TV signal cable to computer.

Note that before you buy a TV capture card, make sure the TV signal is Analog TV signal or Digital TV signal. Depending on the situation, you could purchase a Analog TV Card, Digital TV Card or The Combo TV Tuner Card. By the way, many TV tuners can function as FM radios recorder, so that listen music on radio or record music to local disk.

Run TV Recording Software

Most TV Cards include recording software that allows you to capture TV shows to computer. But you could also record with the third-party TV recording software. Some even enables you to edit video, to author TV show DVD menu, or to combine with photo and music, before saving and burning to DVD. For Example, Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder provides a user-friendly interface to search TV channels and to capture TV shows for Youtube in widescreen aspect ratio. The captured TV shows could also be burnt to DVD with dynamic DVD menu to play with DVD player.

If you use DVD Slideshow Builder as TV shows recording software, click Add from Device button and select TV Card as the input source. Then click Settings button beside TV Channel drop-down list and scan TV channel to record. After returning to Device Import dialog, click Record button to record tv shows to import list at the bottom. Finally click Import button to add captured episode show to make Youtube video.

Tips for DVD Slideshow Builder: You could watch TV shows in Full Screen while recording.

Save Video for Youtube and Upload

YouTube accepts a wide range of video file formats. Most television shows recording software could output TV shows video supported by Youtube. However, Youtube now recommends 16:9 (1280×720) high-definition video. If you mainly record tv shows for youtube, ensure the packed software supports 16:9 HD Youtube video output.

* Windows Media Video(.wmv)
* .3GP (cell phones)
* .AVI (windows)
* .MOV (mac)
* .MP4 (ipod/psp)
* .MPEG
* .FLV (adobe flash)
* .SWF (shockwave flash)
* .MKV (h.264)

Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder supports almost all the Youtube video formats listed above (except SWF and MKV). Plus, with the recorded television shows, you could save recorded videos in HD Youtube video, and then upload to share TV shows on Youtube with others.

To upload saved TV shows to Youtube, you only need a youtube account. So, connect to Youtube.com and log in followed by clicking Upload button to walk through the easy steps.

Record TV Shows to DVD

Provided that you are a big TV fan, you will definitely not just satisfied with recording TV shows for Youtube. With regard to those classical and best TV episode shows, Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder gives you the cheapest way to burn TV shows to DVD for long-time saving, and with motion DVD menus!

Music Production & Sound Engineering Tutorial – Noise Reduction – Cleaning a Sound File

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Helo and welcome!

For this tutorial i am using a sound file of a vocal recording. I will be using ‘adobe audition’ to edit this sound file. ‘Adobe audition’ is a popular brand of multi track recording software. This software allows you to record, edit and mix sound files/recordings. It has loads of tools to edit/engineer your sound files exactly as you would like them to be.

This tutorial will show you how to use the noise reduction tool to remove unwanted sounds/background noise from a recording or any sound file. I am using adobe audition for this example but any decent sound editor will have this tool.

The first step is to identify an appropriate section of the sound file that contains the noise. A good area to find is that which represents a pause between the speech/vocal. Just like when you take a pause between your sentences or words when you are speaking normally. It is useful to zoom in using the software to get a nice clear view of the part u would like to work with. This is the section that will be used to clean up the entire sound file. Once you have zoomed in on your chosen section it will be apparent that where it should be a silent pause there is actually a quiet noise. This is the section that we will sample and then remove from the entire sound file.

In most cases when you record any sound there is usually a quiet hiss or humming (noise) that can be heard during playback. This can come from the recording equipment itself or from background sounds that are within the range of the recording equipment. It is generally regarded as noise because these are usually unwanted sounds.

As well as noise you will also find other quiet looking parts of the sound file that represent the sound of someone breathing in. You will usually see these breath sounds just before a vocal part begins. These breath sounds will always be recorded with voice recordings unless you use a microphone that only records outward sound. Another option is to have a very skilled vocalist! Some people choose to remove or reduce the volume of this breath sound but that should only be done after you have removed the underlying noise of the entire track first.

So now we will remove the noise!

Highlight the silent pause/noise. This is done in the exact same manner as you would highlight text in a text document. Be careful not to select any of the vocal part when making your selection. You may want to zoom in to guarantee your accuracy for this part of the process. To sample this noise in ‘adobe audition’ right-click on that highlighted section and click on “capture noise profile” from the menu that appears.

This tells the software (adobe audition) what you consider to be the noise (sound frequencies that you would like to remove or reduce). The next step is to to go ahead and remove this noise from the entire sound file. In ‘adobe audition’ this is done by using the noise reduction tool.

Which ever sound editing software u decide to use within your studio setup the method may vary slightly but the basic steps and terminology will be very similar.

Next, click on the “effects” menu at the top of the screen and then click on noise reduction from the menu that appears. Once you have done this a new window will appear. This window represents the noise reduction tool and displays all the options and relevant information about that tool. The noise that you captured earlier will be the default noise used by this tool. You can either completely remove the noise or you can just reduce the noise to an acceptable level using the “noise reduction level” variable shown in the image. If you click on the preview button you can listen to what the alterations will sound like before permanently applying them. This is useful to fine tune the amount of effect you want to apply.

It is important to take care and listen carefully at this stage of the process because sometimes it is possible to apply too much noise reduction. This can effect the overall sound of the file in a way that you did not intend. Once you are happy with the settings click on the OK button and the noise will be removed. Magic!

You will then see complete silence where the silent pauses between the vocal waveforms are. At this stage you will have successfully removed the unwanted noise from the entire length of sound file. This can be seen most clearly by the completely flat line (zero decibels/volume) where the pauses are. At this point you may choose to adjust the volume of the breath sounds discussed earlier if you feel it is appropriate.

It is useful to get rid of noise within all of your vocal recordings because when you have several vocal tracks playing at once it also means you have several layers of noise. This noise can easily go un noticed but it can sometimes slightly muffle other sounds/frequencies such as your musical parts or beats. When dealing with mastering, mixing and balancing the whole mix this is a useful and important tool for a quality production and allows the beat/music to be heard crystal clear.

This informative lesson is to help you to become a highly skilled sound engineer and to create/edit your sounds to perfection.
