Have you ever had a favorite song that you listened to over and over again for several days, weeks, months even? Of course you have, everybody did, but did it happen to you that a friend of yours, traumatized by this favorite song of yours ask you: “What do you like so much about that song, what is it about?”. Probably about 10-20% of the cases you knew exactly what the subject was about, but in the rest of the cases you probably answered: “I don’t know, I just like the beat”.
So it is obvious that the beat/instrumental adds very much if not the most value to your song.
Today, there are more up-coming artists than ever before, not only because the population grew, but the main reason is that beats have become so accessible for everybody through the help of WEBSITES DEDICATED TO BEATS. And if you are a new artists you have to stand out of the crowd, not only with your mind-blowing LYRICS or your amazing VOICE, but your breath-taking BEATS/INSTRUMENTALS that when a fan of yours is listening to your musical projects, the “HOT” beats come one after the other and so on.
You’ve probably pressed a key in your MIDI keyboard and heard nothing. It’s called “dead” keys and is a common occurrence in electronic keyboards. This is often caused by dirt or some sort of debris wedging itself between the contact points thereby preventing the circuit from completing itself in order to make a sound. You can repair and solve this problem yourself easily enough.
The first thing you need to do is to really check how your keyboard is set up. This way you know how to get to the areas you need to without having to tear anything to pieces, a no-no if you want things to keep on running after you have repaired it. Once you have taken care of familiarizing yourself with your instrument take care in removing anything that will obstruct you from opening up your MIDI keyboard. This will include all the knobs and sliders that will hold down the body even after you’ve unscrewed it.
To play violin in orchestra, you need to keep a stable head on your shoulders! There is a lot to listen to all around you, and the fact of the matter is it is very, very easy to get lost in it all. Between violins, viola, cello, bass, percussion, woodwinds, brass, and vocals, you are going to need to really know your part very well to see how it fits into the rest of the orchestra. Here are some solid tips for playing violin in orchestra that you will want to get into your head if you plan on playing in an orchestra any time soon.
First rule of all when playing violin in orchestra: watch the conductor! He or she holds down the beat at all times. If you lose track of that beat, you lose track of the orchestra as a whole and can quickly fall behind and lose your part in the music. Don’t allow this to happen. Even when looking down at the music, keep your peripheral vision focused clearly and distinctly on the conductor’s baton so that you play with his lead and don’t allow yourself to become lost in the haze of the music.
