It is a good thing to be on the right place at the right time, is it not? Sometimes we call this ability timing. When you play piano this is a very important skill. The result will be music!

To play the notes at your piano on the right keys and with timing does not mean that your notes will be played with mathematic precision. That would probably not be music.

This is why a metronome will only help you halfway to this goal.

You have to learn timing together with other people and by listening to good musicians.

You learn timing when you learn to react musically upon other musicians playing.

In music there is usually a pulse. To be able to discern this pulse and become a part of this groove is something we can develop. When you have acquired this skill your own playing will contribute to a good end result musically.

Well, how then can you feel this pulse in music?

You can dance or just move to music. When your whole body feels the pulse you are certainly on the right track. How the actual dancing is performed is no big deal, at least not as far as developing your pulse is concerned.

I guess the most important matter is to cultivate the feeling of floating or surfing on the waves of music without any effort.

Another important and effective way to develop timing in your piano playing is to play drums.

I think this would be of great benefit to all musicians. To be able to create rhythmic patterns when drumming will help you a lot as a pianist.

Actually, drums are not necessary! They can be quite expensive as we all know. You can improvise rhytmic patterns on you laps using you own hands. Quite cheap solution, really.

Just one example, try to play eights by alternating between your hands and place the accent in different hands as you play. I feel that this is a very stimulating exercise for my mind. Maybe a form of meditation.

Another way to develop your sense of pulse in your piano playing is to buy a metronome. This is nowadays a very little musical device that will give a 100% even pulse and it will help you learn to play in different tempos.

As it is 100% accurate it is best not you use it all the time you play. Another more sophisticated rhythmic aid is a rhythm machine. Can also be bought as software to your computer and it has nearly unlimited possibilities.

As before mentioned the art of timing is not the same as mathematically perfect piano playing. Well, in some music styles it might be appropriate to play piano in this way.

When I use my recording software and for example take a look at the bass parts I produce I can see on the graphic representation on my computer screen that I often play before or after the beats on my bass guitar.

As you probably know the notes can be quantisized with the help of the software to play exactly “accurate”. Well, what mostly happens is that the whole production loses something very important. The music disappears.

I usually play the bass guitar parts either ahead of the beat or a bit laid back to create energy in the music.

My definition of pulse is something that is musical and a form of painting feelings with rhythm and notes. To be on time in music is to share your musical feelings with others.

Sound Engineering, which is also often referred as Audio Engineering, is a branch of audio science. Characteristically, sound engineering refers to the recording, copying, editing, mixing, and reproduction of sound by means of electronic and mechanical devices. Sound engineers employ a variety of recording devices such as high-tech microphones that are required to record even the slightest sound variations. Electronic mixing boards or console boards are an essential element of sound engineering that are used to control sound input while recording or editing music. They include a variety of switches, dials, lights, and meters. Lights and meters facilitate the engineers to understand exactly the sounds that are recorded and their intensity.

By means of switches and dials on the mixing boards, sound engineers monitor the sound input in terms of the volume, and sound quality. Other integral components of sound engineering include digital audio workstations, signal processors, and sequencing software. In movies, sound engineers and technicians incorporate the voices of actors in the movie sound tracks along with special sound effects. The movie ‘Apocalypse Now’ produced in the year 1979 is considered as a classic example of ’sound’ films till date.

Sound engineering is one of the most popular career options in the modern generation. Sound engineers can have a promising career in movie and video production, advertising as well as sound broadcasting. However, it is crucial to receive formal training and a degree from a recognized institute, which is certified by accreditation association, such as NORDING or EURING.

Sound Engineering Schools

Generally, students obtain formal education and training in sound engineering through sound engineering schools. These schools offer extensive as well as intensive training in different fields of sound engineering such as Recording and Production. Since there are a large number of schools and institutes that impart this form of education, it is advisable to select a school on the basis of certain criteria.

a.Strength Of The Class And Amenities Offered – It is crucial to know the number of students enrolled in a program as it statistics reveal that institutes enrolling limited number of students offer better training environment. Another deciding factor is the facilities offered by the training school or institute. The Hartt School at University of Hartford (CT) restricts the number of students to thirty for its production program. This school has 6 modern studios, and is associated with the Yale theater department. As a result, students get theoretical as well as practical training in live recording.
b.Type Of School – Students looking for a full-fledged training and career in sound engineering, can opt for schools that are specialized and dedicated exclusively to Music and Video production. Others can opt for schools that are a part of a bigger organization or University.
c.Location – With this branch of career gaining popularity over the years, there are many institutes located in different cities that offer training as well as placement assistance.
d.Reputation Of The School – It is important to select a school after verifying its credibility.

There are a large number of institutes that offer 12 week or 24 week courses in sound engineering. The advantage of such programs is that students can decide the pace of their program for better comprehension. Students also have the option of choosing the examination center that is convenient to them. These courses are becoming popular owing to their flexibility and convenience.

The changes in the design and functionality of mobile phones have been radical and there for all to see. New models of mobiles are being conceptualized, developed and marketed by many a leading handset manufacturer at regular intervals. Empowered by innovative technology, these handsets are technically equipped to cater to the evolving needs of phone users in diverse spheres. Third generation (3G) mobile phones, for instance, can be used for accessing the internet at broadband speeds – a feat which was outside the realms of possibility, even a couple of years ago. The Sony Ericsson w850i is one such 3G mobile phone which comes with added music options – making the handset just perfect for both tech-savvy phone users as well as people with a passion for music.

This 3G mobile phone can be used for making video calls, for sending video messages and emails as well as for high speed downloads from the internet. In addition, the Sony Ericsson w850i comes with advanced features that recognize music. One can know the name of the artist, song or the album of an unknown music track within seconds at the click of a few buttons. Quite interesting and informative for a music buff!

An integrated music player is linked to an online music store; and a person can easily download the music tracks of his choice as well as enjoy other forms of mobile content. It is possible to personalize the listening experience further with a stereo headset. Transfer of music is easy with pre-installed music management software. One can also store quite a large number of music tracks – thanks to the exhaustive memory of the Sony Ericsson w850i.

The Sony Ericsson w850i comes with a 2.0 megapixel digital camera with 4x digital zoom and a horizontal user interface. There is a second camera which can be used for making video calls – wherein one can see the expression on the face of people on the other side of the line – across geographical distances and in real time. High speed web connectivity, pulsating music, video and conference calling capabilities, 3D games, picture and text messaging – with the Sony Ericsson w850i, there is little more that a mobile phone user could wish for!

The bloom of computers is so supermassive that computers do not only dominate the field of IT, they have also stretched their wings to arts and entertainment, especially music.

Back in our parents’ day, they didn’t have any iPod and ringtone and music download. They didn’t have the luxury and convenience of our music blogs and snazzy stuffs like that. E.g., when they wanted to seize the new Duran Duran album, they couldn’t just troll the Internet for it, they had to do it the old-fashioned way — by hiking to the store, standing in line, waiting under blazing sun or pouring rain. That’s why we youngsters don’t appreciate that so-called real value of music. Or Duran Duran.

That’s why I call this age the era of digital music and iPods (also iTunes). iPods with iTunes can be considered two best things ever to happen to online music, legally. But if you can’t afford legal music, memorize LimeWire, and any file sharing programs. In my humble opinion, LimeWire is the third best thing. However, just like Napster and Kazaa before, the company behind LimeWire is now being sued by the RIAA.

YouTube ranks fourth in my list. When I relate music to music videos, YouTube is my best choice in the digital world. You can watch many music videos of all time easily. But who knows if it will be sued someday! Or maybe in the next years to come, it will be the best thing ever to happen to online music, and movies as well.

What if you are one of those who love music to the core and wish to compose and edit music of theirs own?

Nowadays, programmed music softwares in the market render all your requirements to compose and edit music. They are the last but not least thing to change the online music world. One of the music editors is called Music Morpher Gold, the most advanced audio editor available in its price range.

Music Morpher Gold version 3.0 is meant for professionals. It includes all of the common audio editing commands and effects. It has tools such as Voice Removal, Vocal Extractor, Wave Editor, CD/DVD burner, CD creator all in one easy-to-use audio editor for professionals and home users (for Windows). It provides a powerful and user-friendly editing environment for novice users. Anyone (with a PC) who needs to edit, convert or manipulate Audio/MP3 sound can do with this software. The software can be obtained free to try from the website: http://mp3-player.audio4fun.com/free-audio-software.htm.

Ever wondered why your friend is always so popular with the opposite sex while you sit around twiddling your thumbs and wondering how to get lucky? Or been in a situation where everyone else seems to be totally clued up on the latest in the music world, while you feel politely pushed out of the conversation? Picking up an interest in music could be your answer.

Music software has undergone a rapid transformation over the past few years. A wide variety of software is available in music and hardware stores, as well as over the internet. Numerous websites allow you to download music, often giving away free music software to make themselves popular. To successfully make the best use of the facility, we need to familiarize ourselves with a few basic requirements. Let us examine these requirements for a successful music download.

Your PC or laptop is probably all you need to pursue your new hobby. What you need to check is that it should have a minimum of 128 MB RAM if you want good quality output. Latest systems come with much higher RAM, and it’s a simple case of the more the merrier. Get a 1GB RAM and see that music really play!

Most Hard Disks today come with a minimum capacity of 80 GB or more. The Hard Disk Drive needs to have at least 2 MB of free space. If you have more, it is better as the more the free space, the better will be the performance of the system.

An additional audio and/or a graphics card on your motherboard will add to the performance of the audio software. It does this by acting as an additional RAM, and hence giving the software more space to execute its job.

A high speed modem of min capacity 56 Kbps is a must, as is an internet connection to go with it. If you can manage to hook on to a high-speed broadband connection of 2Mbps or above, well; your job will be done in a fraction of the time. Most music files, even MP3, are fairly large for a dial-up connection to handle comfortably; hence a high speed connection will definitely be an asset as it will allow much faster downloads. If you are planning to download music videos, then a min internet speed of 512 Kbps is absolutely essential.

A pair of decent earphones or headphones are a prerequisite for that ultimate listening experience. For external speaker requirements, choose from good quality PC speakers like JBL, Sony, Yamaha, or the very boss of them all – Bose. Branded PCs, of course, come bundled with their own speakers.

Coming to the Software. Besides using the basic internet browser to connect to the internet, you will need a good Audio/Video player to enjoy the results of your efforts once you have downloaded your music. Windows Media Player comes bundled with the operating system and is a powerhouse in itself, offering a host of mind-boggling options. Interested in trying out something new? Try out Jet Audio, VLC Media player, Music Match to add interesting options to your basic music player. These are audio/video players with a lot of playing options for different music experiences like Jazz, Rock, Classical, Vocal etc, automatically setting the equalizers for the best output for each of these music forms. Further, they give several options of enjoying your music with the varied output effects of sitting in a hall, big or small room, theatre etc. A number of interesting visualizations are bound to add to the enchanting experience. You can even set your own equalizer settings, depending whether you like more bass or not.

Try some of the freely available software like N-Track studio, MIDI Maestro, Chord Composer, MusiGenesis and VF160EX Fostex digital recorder if you are planning something more advanced like studio recording. These are higher end music production software that have sound editing and audio ripping capabilities.

So don’t think any longer how your colleague is a hit with the opposite sex, just because he always seems to be up-to-date with the latest music. Step out and become an expert yourself.
