Tips For Recording Electric Guitar

This tutorial will give you some tips and ideas about how to record electric guitar.  While it may seem like an easy thing to record, and it is when compared to recording drums, there are still a ton of different ways that you can record guitar and get good results.  It all depends on what type of sound you are going for.  Here I will aim to give helpful tips and hints across the spectrum for recording guitars in general.

1. The first rule for recording guitars (and this is the closet thing you will get to a rule when it comes to recording) is to make sure that it sounds good at the source before putting up any microphones for anything.  This means using the best possible guitar and amplifier combination possible and not sacrificing that for anything.  If it does not sound good from the source, there is nothing that you would be able to do to make it sound good later!  Beyond the player, this is the most important thing when it comes to recording electric guitar.

2. The next tip for recording guitar is that if you are going to use effects, I would really recommend only using one or two at a time as the more pedals you have within the chain, the more the sound quality gets degraded because of it (unless of course you are using pedals that have true bypass).  In a perfect world, I would say only use one effect at a time (unless you are combing) and overdub each effect with only the single pedal in the chain.  This makes sure that you are getting the cleanest tone possible without having your signal degraded by pedals.

3. Once you have set up your guitar and are happy with the tone that you have gotten, the next step is to choose a microphone or two that would like to use.  The first thing that I do is set up a microphone that is close up on the grill and line it up with the center of the cone of the speaker.  I usually use either a Shure SM57 or a Sennhesier MD421 or 409 as I find that these mics do a great job of recording electric guitar up close.  Since they are dynamic microphones they can handle a lot, and that is a necessity when recording electric guitar.

4. While a lot of engineers will only use one microphone for recording electric guitar, I always place another microphone about three feet back from the amplifier.  This gives the guitar sound a little bit of the room, which I will then blend in together with the close mic when it comes time to mix.  This part is definitely open to interpretation and there are a ton of ways to do this.  One thing that I would recommend is using a large diaphragm condenser mic as that will pick up all of the subtle nuances that you want in a room sound.  I usually use a Blue Kiwi or a Neumann U87, but any condenser microphone that you have available will work!

5. Once you have everything dialed in and the microphones are placed, you are ready to record!  However, even after you record your job is not done as mixing the combination of microphones is quite important as well.  I usually put the room microphone back in the mix a little bit, but when it calls for it I will put it out in front.  This is all up to you and really depends on what you are trying to do!

Please keep in mind that these are guidelines and tips and by no means are the rules when recording guitar.  Get creative and try out your own ideas, but it is always good to have a guideline and to know what will work for you.  I hope that you will find these tips helpful and please experiment with different guitars, amplifiers and microphones if you are able as you can get an endless amount of sounds!

Kenali dan Kunjungi Objek Wisata di Pandeglang

Kenali dan Kunjungi Objek Wisata di Pandeglang, merupakan slogan yang saat ini gencar dilakukan oleh sebuah situs yaitu cintapandeglang.com, sebagai bentuk kecintaan terhadap Pandeglang dan untuk lebih memperkenalkan Pandeglang sebagai sebuah kabupaten di provinsi Banten yang memliki objek wisata dan keragaman budaya yang tak kalah dengan provinsi lain, semisal Bali yang merupakan tujuan utama wisata di Indonesia. Cukup beralasan jika hal tersebut perlu dilakukan dengan menggeber slogan Kenali dan Kunjungi Objek Wisata di Pandeglang, karena Pandeglang adalah sebuah nama yang masih "asing" bagi para wisatawan. jangankan wisatawan dari luar negeri, wisatawan domestik (dalam negeri) saja masih sedikit yang mengetahui jika ada potensi wisata lainnya yang tidak kalah dengan daerah lainnya.

Pantai Carita merupakan objek wisata di pandeglang yang sangat populer, adalah pantai yang memiliki material dasar pasir putih agak kecoklatan dengan latar belakang pegunungan yang berhutan.

The Future of the Music Industry

This article taken from TuneCore Blog article. writes by Jake Smith, is a TuneCore Customer Support Representative and Editor of the Weekly Newsletter . and I published back here with the only purpose of information spreading.

To say it's been a bumpy decade for the music industry is a bit of an understatement. After Napster's introduction in June of 1999, we've seen ten years of new formats, declining record sales, lawsuits, and passionate arguments from all sides (artists, labels, the RIAA, and consumers) about the pros and cons of these drastic changes. Has suing music pirates done anything to curb illegal downloads? Has digital file sharing helped new artists reach more fans faster? Where will the industry be ten years from now?

iTunes 9 recently came out, and with it a variety of new "bonus" features that come with selected albums. These iTunes LPs as they're called can include album extras like music videos, digital booklets, artist band photos and more (important note: at this time TuneCore is not yet set up to deliver content as iTunes LPs - we will make a HUGE announcement when we are able to, stay tuned). Features like these have got me thinking about the innovative ways in which stores, labels, and artists have worked towards making incentives to pay for, rather than steal music. In my opinion, the music makers and retailers who stick to the list below will be the ones leading this crazy music business into the future.

1. Stop fighting the changes

The digital revolution was and continues to be scary for those who once made the brunt of their money selling round pieces of plastic. In the wake of peer to peer websites that allowed for people to share and receive music files without spending a dime, the first response of the Record Industry Association of American (RIAA) was to sue the peer to peer services themselves. After this proved only to spawn new peer to peer services, the RIAA turned its sites on the people doing the sharing. Suddenly, people of all ages, shapes and sizes found themselves being sued for thousands and sometimes millions of dollars in damages. I don't mean for this to turn into an argument about the pros and cons of file sharing, but I think most people would agree that these giant lawsuits haven't done much of anything to stop the piracy problem. I remember a particularly pathetic attempt by BMG to create an "unrippable" CD on which to print their new releases. One day after the release of the first disc in this format, it was discovered that by using a black sharpie around the edge of the disc, you could burn and import it with no problem at all.

The moral of the last ten years? It's futile to fight changes in how people consume their content. Consider this: once upon a time, the biggest threat to the industry was that people could use cassette tapes to record songs off the radio. Piracy stinks but as long as music is written and recorded, the danger of it exists. This leads me to my next thought:

2. Sell things that can't be stolen

Maybe people will always find ways to crack codes and steal content in our digital age, but there is money to be made by providing consumers with additional ways to connect to the music they love. Some things to consider:

* Classic merchandise is still very big: T-Shirts, Buttons, Stickers, and even less traditional items like USB drives and Snuggies keep many bands in the black.
* Music "powers" other products: Movies, TV Shows, commercials, video games (The Beatles Rock Band, anyone?), even greeting cards have been great, "non-stealable" ways of getting music out there.
* Give consumers bonus "rewards" for buying: iTunes LP definitely practices this idea - now, instead of just getting music for your money, you get cool additional content as well. Other incentives could include bonus tracks for people who pre-order, providing different formats (CDs, digital downloads, vinyl records), offering limited run "premium" items (coffee table books, first 100 copies signed, etc).
* Don't forget live shows: While music sales may have dropped, concert attendance is as high as ever. Give fans a show to remember and they'll keep coming back!

3. Quality over Quantity

I read this really great interview the other day with the founders of Merge Records (Arcade Fire, Spoon, M. Ward). While other labels, both big and small, have had some really extreme ups and downs over the past 20 years, Merge has remained steady. Instead of pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into every artist they release then praying for one of them to make it big, they focus on putting out the artists they love. If they don't expect to make a ton on the release, they keep recording and promotional costs low. As a result, Merge have positioned themselves as taste makers. When indie music fans see "Merge" on a new artist, they see it as a mark of quality. The lesson in this? The more good product you provide your fans with, the more they will respect and support you. I would argue that whatever shape the music industry may be in ten years from now, the song will always be king.

But what do you guys think? Share your thoughts with leave comments below...

Vierra

Vierra is an Indonesian band that is currently as a top band in indonesian music industry. Vierra began they career in the music industry with the first band name is Andante Band, in mid-2008. and Andante Band morphed being Vierra Band Indonesian Artist Fans Club. Vierra consisted of  4 personnel are Widy Nichlany (vocals), Kevin Aprilio (piano, keyboards), Raka Cyril (guitar), and Tryan (drum).

For their new album, Slank has a great way to promote. The way they think works to suppress piracy songs that have not fully eradicated. Slank, chose to promote their album by "selling merchandise" and get bonus that is Slank's album (Anthem for the Broken Hearted), plus VCD of Slank World Tour 2008.

"With sales by this way, is a form of  Slank resistance to against piracy", said Kaka (vocalist)

Hopefully, this success will followed by other Indonesian Bands/Singers who can penetrate the American music market or widely.

Utilizing Facebook for Music Promotion

As we know, Facebook is a social media that world's most popular on the internet today. Facebook fever swept almost all walks of life from children to old poeples. According to some writings, Facebook users around the world recorded more than 130 million people now. Higher than any other social network visitors are more popular once like MySpace or Friendster. even, Elected President of the United States, Barack Obama, also using Facebook for president campaigne, others make own website.

Creative workers (Musician) in Indonesia was a lot later use Internet technology as an alternative and even now as a trend in musical exploration. most of them come from the independent or indie musician - who was tied with a big record label (major labels). Therefore they become very creative in maximizing the existing limitations. this is one way of harnessing technology for the promotion, distribution, and sale of music works, also reach the fans as much as possible through an increasingly digital world rapidly.

Utilizing Facebook with a page on Facebook, or make some applications for music promotion, is a technique that is a favorite campaign moment. one of the applications for promotion of music through facebook is My Band. This application is a third-party applications from ReverbNation (ReverbNation is revolutionizing the music ecosystem by bringing together artists, fans, venues, and record labels to forge relationships around the music) and, still many other ways to explore music on Facebook.

See example image of My Band application on Facebook below :

Facebook is now no longer the site just to make a friendship, dating, or relationship (initial goal was established), but has become a new trend and become one of the "important vocabulary" in the social life everyday. Started politicians, celebrities, businessmen, students, school students, and housewives in many countries in the world, also in Indonesia, which is now practically ridden Fecebook fever. so, Facebook will be useful if used for positive things.
