We live in an era of technology where things move really fast. Everything is wired, digital and connected to the Internet. All these digital gadgets around us make our life easier and allow us to have new hobbies, to make a living in new ways. For an '80s musician, making music was all about big studio, paying for studio time and investing large amounts of money producing an album. After the album was complete, the music marketing companies took the album and distributed it to their music shop network all over the country. Music piracy was also present, but it was really diminished compared to the sales. The game changed in the late '90s, when Napster reinvented everything. People learned that they can download (illegal) music really fast from the…

Well, I wrote about this subject almost two years ago, when I got my first external audio interface: Audio Kontrol 1. I still have it, and it works great. But, this summer I decided to buy a new one for my vocal recordings. So, after reading a lot about soundcards, audio interfaces, audio interfaces reviews and users experiences, I decided to go with Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface. It has 4.5/5 stars on Amazon (probably the best reviews out there), it's very reliable and easy to set up. This audio interface can be the center of your home studio setup. (more…)
I will start with the most important thing: these headphones are all about premium sound and design. You will get no better than this (not even from Beats by Dre). I have read many reviews about Bowers & Wilkins P5 and every each one of them rated this product with 5 stars. As I said, if you buy this product you will get premium quality and premium sound. Another important aspect about these cool headphones is the price: they are not cheap. (more…)

Let's say you need to record your vocals but you are on a tight budget. The best solution is to buy a good USB condenser microphone. The main advantage of an USB microphone is that you do not need extra equipment (such as preamps, mixer, additional cable). Just plug in the USB mic and start record your vocals. (more…)
Last year about how to set your home recording studio. But building the home studio is not enough. You need to create your own instrumentals in order to get 100% original. I will get into music producing today. Any producer needs a control surface when making his instrumentals. There are multiple midi keyboards/control surfaces alternatives, but the best can be found in the following list: Novation, M-Audio, Akai, Cakewalk, Edirol, Korg. (more…)
Whenever I have a special state of mine, I like to find a song that boost that specific feeling. Music is a true companion in major moments of our lifetime, and it was present in every important historical moment I can think of. In the last 100 years, music has changed a lot especially thanks to computer development. If we talk about the golden era of music, it was all about live instruments, acoustic guitars, rough drums and unaltered vocals. Nowadays, music is digital and it's all about numbers and bits. Some will argue that this is a natural evolution and some will argue that it has lost its essence, its soul. Obvious, not all things are dark in this area. Although music tapes and CDs can be a thing…
