Making Beats to Please the Crowd

Dec 23, 2011 Author admin

Music is one of my passions. I love music so much that I decided to make my own. It took me a few years but I learned how to play different types of music and learn how to produce music on my own. I love arranging music and to make beats that I know that will make an audience get up on their feet and start dancing. I usually like to monitor my own music when I am creating it from scratch but it is always good to get the feedback on others to see if the music sounds good on its own or I could make some improvements. Getting a little exposure to my music helps out a lot too as there might be someone looking to help make music with them. I love dreaming the day when I can get my music branched out to a larger audience and make myself into a household name in the music industry.

Oct 25, 2011 Author admin

So this is an anonymous post. Or at least, I hope it is. I just wanted to tell someone, but not my friends.

My girlfriend likes this new Asian American artist called Viennie V. You can check out her thinking of you music video youtube by clicking the link. Well, she bought her CD and I make fun of her for listening to pop music and watching all those pop music videos cause I’m a hard rocker, just saying. See these tattoos? Yeah, no pop music for me.

But after listening to my girlfriend play her Viennie V music and play Thinking of You on YouTube for like the thousandth time, I’m starting to like it. So last week I took her Viennie V CD from her car and burned a copy to play when I’m at home. I wouldn’t dare play it around her. She calls me Mr. Macho, just saying. You think I want to tarnish that image?

No.

But I will watch Thinking of You on YouTube when I’m at home by myself and blast her music when I’m getting ready for work. At least I don’t watch the Kardashians, right?

Using music in radio advertising is nothing new. People have been doing it for a long time to create a certain mood and evoke certain emotions in those who listen to them.

Support Software Development by Buying FL Studio

Sep 19, 2011 Author admin

FL Studio is among the most popular DAW’s in the music industry and it shows by the number of cracked versions floating around the web. However, it’s time that we stop using a cracked version and buy FL Studio to support the development of the music production software we all love.

I’ve been using FL Studio since version 5 and since I didn’t have much money at the time I was happy to use an illegal version of the software. Now that I’ve been producing music with it for several years I decided to give back to the developers by buying the latest version, FL Studio 10. I regret having used a cracked version for so long, but now that I’m a registered customer with Image Line I couldn’t feel better about it. I never have to search the net for a shady cracked version with a buggy keygen anymore. I get the newest versions for free for the rest of my life.
