    Who the devil is Rupert Murdoch? I know the name but can't place why. Isn't he a DC comics villian or something?

    Two new songs

    I was trying to figure out why I didn't like the vox, think you put your finger on it very nicely. Not a style I'd likely listen, but I certainly wouldn't switch the station on this tune either. Keep it up, it'll be really good with a polished cut.

    See what you think of this please.

    Yeah dropping the key down a bit will probably take care of those vox problems right quick. It sounded like you could hit those last notes, just didn't do so well on that take. Looking forward to the finished version.

    Practicing Vox

    I figured this would be the board the most singers frequent. How do you practice? I personally warm up and follow that with songs. Does anyone have any particularly useful singing exercises?

    See what you think of this please.

    1. Guitar wise: proficient and well composed. Sounds good, varied, played without mistakes. Me likey. 2. Vox: I really can't hear them well enough. That may be because this comp doesn't play too loudly. Can't really tell. At the least I can tell they're performed well, save a few high notes...

    I don't suppose you could recommend a good text or web resource about key changes?

    I see. Just for my information, what is the definition of modulation? A key change? I don't have 2 particular songs in mind yet, but for the sake of discussion I looked through my tabs folder and randomly picked Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" and the Killer's "Mr. Brightside."...

    I was never a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band until a friend loaned me the Gorge DVD. I still don't care for their studio albums too much but I do find their live show engaging. Also, I think Dave's rhythm playing is just short of virtuosic. One very intriging aspect of their live show, from...

    Concession Legalities

    Lets say one was to D.I.Y. a local concert, renting a hall from some sort of organization. Is there any sort of legal nonsense one has to go through in order to sell soda, water, candy, etc? Nothing that would require preparation, like hot dogs for example, all closed pre-packaged items.

    So, what's the difference in process between CD-R's and a glass master?

    Your thoughts on melodies and chords

    As with the above, I'd have to agree that your ear needs to work out. What it sounds like is that you have a melody in your heard, lets say its re fa sol do sol do or something. You need to train your ear to be able to hear what notes you're singing within whatever key you're singing it in...

    Teaching

    I taught lessons my senior year of High School at a local music shop. They charged $15 for a half hour lesson. Teachers got $10. Advice: 1. When you do talk to parents, ask them to be encouraging, and to gently remind their kids to practice. This way, they'll progress more regularly, keeping...

    I was thinking of the wrong type of jack. Now it all makes sense. I suppose it would look kinda groovy.

    how do you sing high notes properly?

    Everyone seems to have given really good advice. Voices DO change, I have one friend that went from soprano to bass in a week. If Tim Brown views this thread he'll probably pimp Set Your Voice Free by Roger Love. I've been reading the book and doing its exercises with rather good results. You...

    20 Gig, no clue as for generation. I love it. Straight up love. I credit it for making me the music fan I am. Yes its pricey, but fuck, I carry my entire collection around. Can't beat a portable mp3 player.
