What?s The Best Music Production Software?

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

We all know that there are a lot of different choices you can choose from when it comes to music production software. In fact, you can get some very professional versions that can cost over $1,000!

Most of us could never afford something so expensive, and we probably wouldn’t even know how to work it. And yet, no one wants to get stuck with some cheap music production software that barely works at all.

A while ago, I came across something that’s quite new. I have to admit, I thought it looked a bit sketchy at first, but I decided to give it a try because I had read some great reviews on the product. This software uses an amazing cutting edge music sequencer, which allows you to export to MP3 formatting.

The great thing about this software is that it includes music production tutorials, so you don’t have to learn everything yourself.  The tutorials include different keyboards, studios and strategies on how you can make the best music.

This software provides the most efficient tools for music production, and unlike other complicated systems, this one is actually really easy, intuitive, and fun to use. I play the piano, and I have a Yahama keyboard, which I have been able to sync up with this music production software. I can actually make my own piano music and then add certain percussion beats and other background sounds to make it sound even better! I just love it.

This can definitely benefit anyone who is a piano player and has a piano keyboard with a MIDI input/output.  Even if you’re not a piano player, you can STILL make high quality, amazing music. There are thousands of sounds to choose from, and once you’re finished making a song, you can easily convert it to MP3 format and make a CD or drop it right onto your iPod or other MP3 player.

Even though this music software is easy to just start using right away, it includes a lot of great instructional tutorials to show you how to make the most of your music production, teaching you some awesome tips and tricks about producing music, and guiding you through the whole process. You can even use the software to actually help you learn how to play the piano and other instruments. This is all offered through their unique members’ area training center.

So, what am I talking about? Click here to find out, and don’t be put off by the dark website graphics! This is actually a really great product, it helped me create better piano music and it can definitely help you too!

Musicproducerpro – Music Production

Friday, January 1st, 2010

It used to be that you had to go to college or a music production school to find a decent music production course. Now nearly every music school offers one. This should be no surprise due to the amount of time and money that people are now spending on entertainment.

So, the question is: Where can I find a great music production school?

And, who is going to provide me with the music skills, knowledge and experience that will really make a difference, without charging an enormous fee?

Music production schools are offering basic music production programs and even Community Colleges have jumped on the bandwagon. Does this mean that they are all good? NO!

Firstly, I doubt that you can get even minimal training at a music production school without paying at least hundreds of dollars in fees. And is that a risk worth taking? For some, maybe, but for most of us, probably not!

If youâ??re like most people looking for an advantage with music production learning, you are not going to be able to afford a major fee at a music production school.

Maybe you are one of the smart ones and have looked to the internet for a better solution. Online music production lessons and courses are now becoming popular as they are much cheaper and more convenient; while at the same time still provide a solid foundation for learning the latest music production techniques.

An excellent example of an online music production course is http://www.MusicProducerPro.com

Check out this site and see the kind of music production skills you can start learning in the next hour.

Music Producer Pro offers courses that consist of a series of online music production lessons delivered via downloadable videos in an easy step-by-step style. You gain access to dozens of lessons for a single once off joining fee and are guided through a series of activities designed to enhance your learning experience.

Andâ?¦ it offers you unlimited access 7 days a week.

With every production video you learn something new and different thatâ??s designed to open your mind to interesting and cool music techniques. It is one of the most happening interactive online music production schools in the world.

The flexibility of an online course allows you to focus on the skills you want to master, rather than being tied to a rigid, out-of-date curriculum. And the teaching at http://www.musicproducerpro.com is very professional. If you are a beginner, they will help you formalise your knowledge and get the terms explained. If you are advanced, Jayâ??s techniques will get you producing music at a much higher level.

But letâ??s keep this very simpleâ?¦. If you want to produce music, Music Producer Pro will show you how.

They offer a full range of video lessons to suit everyone from the beginner to those looking to refine and broaden their skills, whether you want to play for your own enjoyment or to make a career as a DJ or producer. With Music Producer Pro you will experience a broad range of practical based lessons prepared by experienced and highly skilled masters of beats.

Whether itâ??s studio recording, concert sound, movie sound, radio or television broadcasting, or working with a record label or artist management, itâ??s all about music! If you want to work as a music producer, or any other audio career, you will need a cost effective education.

If you have ever asked or tried to learn how to produce music from the traditional music production schools then you will know that it is not cheap. A lot of people interested in music production donâ??t think about the cost of six months of college lessons. But it adds up to hundreds of dollars. I know a lot of people have joined this site because it offers access to a whole lot of learning material online for a small once-off fee.

I’ve posted this link www.musicproducerpro.com for every musician/dj interested in finding out more about online music production tuition, whether you are beginning to learn or simply wanting to expand your musical production skills.

Online music production lessons are very worthwhile, so if you are looking for a music production course then this is definitely worth joining, so check it out here:

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.

Post Production Studios: On Their Way Out

Friday, January 1st, 2010

It’s obvious the film industry has changed significantly in the past decade. Recent innovations like the trend to shoot Digital Video instead of film and the progression of CGI has opened new worlds of possibility for the independent filmmaker. Very few individuals could afford to make high quality films 10 – 15 years ago, but that’s all changed. Creative auteurs can now produce quality movies and videos from the convenience of their very own homes using equipment that’s affordable. And now, with vehicles to show the world their work like YouTube and other similar sites, everything from pre-production to distribution can be done from the filmmaker’s bedroom.

Here’s what you need to set up your own multimedia editing bay in a spare room:

First, you’ll be buying equipment, so you’ll need something to put that equipment on. We found excellent, high quality multimedia tables at Versa Products, Inc. The tables are customizable for the specific equipment you plan to buy, ship for free, and carry a lifetime warranty.

Okay, now for the equipment. You’ll first need a camcorder to record the images you plan to edit together. We found mini DV camcorders on ebay starting as low as $55.00. Pawn shops are also a great place to find affordable electronic equipment, or you can go for one with a guarantee and buy brand new from retailers like Best Buy.

Next, you’ll need a computer that’s capable of NLE (Non-Linear Editing). Many home PCs are already adequate, but if you’re in the market to buy a new one, take some time to check out reviews in magazines like PC World to get a feel for the system you want to purchase. The faster the system, the easier your life will be once you begin to edit footage. In addition to being fast, you need a computer with a considerable amount of memory. We suggest at least 256MB of RAM, and more is most likely better. Along with the computer itself, you’ll need a decent monitor (the bigger, the better) for clear editing. Remember, once the video is produced, it may be watched on a television screen that could be 50 inches or more. Imperfections are much easier to see when magnified that big, so it’s important that you edit on a clear, large screen monitor so there won’t be any surprises once it hits the “big screen” in your living room.

You’ll also need to download the software that allows you to edit. Media Studio Pro 6.5 is accepted as industry standard, although there are others that do the same thing. In addition to the software, you’ll need a FireWire card which allows you to transfer the shot footage from your camcorder to the PC. The software will then allow you to manipulate the footage and begin editing.

Once you have all of this, you’ll be able to create your masterpiece. But then what? While it’s possible to upload the completed video online, you should consider in advance if you’re going to want to put it on DVD and make multiple copies of those DVDs. If so, you’ll need one last piece of equipment: a DVD burner or a CD burner if you plan to make CD-Roms.

Setting up a home video editing bay isn’t the simplest thing in the world, and learning from your mistakes can be expected. But it’s also not such a daunting task that it shouldn’t be taken on by the amateur. At each step of the way, research the best equipment and software for your own specific purposes and upgrade when you have the time and money to do so. And most of all, enjoy what you’re doing. Be creative and have fun.
