Hi there, i just have a quick question.. I'll use these tabs as an example. http://www.e-chords.com/cifra.asp?idMusica=16076&keyb=true&aba=2 (Down So Long by Jewel) If you scroll down to the bottom you can see all the chords used, however.. I still don't understand the logic behind chords...

AAAH, it just dawned on me... The headphone input doubles as as the Output.. so I just need a cord that will go from that to the line-in on my soundcard and everything should be dandy??

I recently purchased a yamaha DGX-205, I have no troubles getting it to insert midi data into most programs.. but the problem is, I want to record the actual sound from the keyboard, not have to replace it with crappy samples. What are the basics that i'm probably overlooking? I'd like to just...

I'm thinking moody as in... slit wrists, force ones head through a concrete wall-type mood evoking... most pop music seems to inundate me with powerchords and i'd like to create something slightly more intensive...

wow :eek: thanks for that insight.. I have found of late that people who seem to have less of a music theory background and more of a musician background tend to be the ones who can find the emotional chords easiest.. I think they have the ear for it and can pinpoint it right away.

Does anyone have a good source that gives a rough idea of which chords in different keys trigger certain aural emotions? Can certain scales act in the same way, or is this mostly associated with harmonies? thanks :)

Thanks for this thread it has enlightened me considerably as I'm in the exact same boat... I could learn this stuff in a matter of minutes/hours as I know most of it and used to be able to read music... Hell i played 3 instruments a few years ago (i was young..) so you'd think I would have...

eek, well it was after midnight and I had an urge to make a dodgy trance song.. what do you think? http://www.audiostreet.net/artists/006/020/song_pleasure_after_midnight.html pleasure after midnight is very cheesy yes, but it has to do with some hilarious electronic vocals I had decided to...

my only real gripe with those courses is the slow pace they go.. If I want to do somthing, I want to do it right away and I want to do a lot of it :( I'll try checkout those books you mentioned, thanks

I guess the best bet is writing with someone else, I usually do with a friend but they've moved oversea's so it's more than awkward (1 in a billion person capable of deciphering my crap) I guess ultimately my problem is toning down the stuff i make and simplifying it to a point where it sounds...

Hey there.. I'm curious if any of you's know of any good online resources or courses on the subject of song structuring. My current problem is that I manage to make a whole heap of crap but can never put it into order as I'm basically clueless on the fundamentals of structuring songs. (how to...

Thanks for the feedback SEDstar, It does come accross as quite theatrical/moody doesn't it.. I can't stand the repeditiveness in most songs that I hear. I think I know which fuzz you're talking about, the low end bass synth has a bit of a fuzz sound to it naturally, I don't mind it all that...

Well hello there :) This is the first time I've decided to post one of my works- I started making music just a little over a year ago and have fallen in love with all things Electronic. Up until now I've only ever really collaborated with a friend and let them listen to it, I really think a...

oh god i downloaded the Antares demo and can't stop singing horrible songs like cher HAHA

I've always wondered about this effect myself.. anyone care to shed some more light/details?

have you tried reversing the track, adding reverb, then reversing it back to its original state? it kind of provides that premonition reverb sound..

Hey there, I'm wondering how do you achieve that synth vocal effect that 80's popstars mostly used (kylie minogue - locomotion) is a good example of it. I'm somewhat clueless but im sure you all recognise it...

Hah, this is kind of cute :D

I won't ask where you plug the cables into the self-cleaning diffuser unit :eek:

I'm in the same boat, these are some of the things i've found to make it more bareable. - Singing the same track twice(or more), with slight variations - Going crazy with Cool Edit Pro Delay Effects (Chorus and Flanger) hell, you'll end up sounding like cher but sometimes i think its a slight...
