Dubstep, techno and drum and bass engineers will at some point need a heavy Reece bass for there new dance floor track. The Reece bass is a classic 'dirty bass' sound. From the more subtle terrorist Reece to the hardcore alien girl Reece they all have one thing in common. The saw tooth wave.
So to start off with, get a multi oscillator synthesizer (ideally 3 or 4 oscillators) like the albino, logic's ES2, Massive etc. Set all oscillators to the saw tooth. There are many harmonic frequencies in the saw tooth, The normal waves ramps upward and then falls. There are also sawtooth waves where the wave ramps down and then rises sharply. Commonly known as a reverse sawtooth. As signals, the two variations of the sawtooth sound the same until paired together.
Once you have got your multi oscillator synth running with 3 oscillators, the next step in the process is to detune one or 2 of the oscillators by around +/- 25cents, this is essential for drum and bass and dubstep. It gives the Reece a very deep edgy sound, rather than just a flat buzzing sound.
After setting up your initial saw tooth with De-turning, (this is essentially the basis of the Reece) - You can go ahead and start producing and shaping the noise for your type of music, dubstep or drum and bass. Here are some of the main parameters you can use:
Filter Envelopes:
A nice way to get a movement on the Reece bass is to add envelope to the filter section, Reece bass sounds are extremely responsive to filters and using a high pass you can get a very nice sounding lead, or use a low pass and get a very fat bass. try using about 20% of filter attack for dubstep and 30% for drum and bass.
Phaser:
Because of the harmonic phases all ready occurring due to the multiple oscillation, adding a phase plug in can and does work very well. It's better to use a sparse amount of phase to subtly enhance the sound rather than extreme amounts
Flange:
The flange process can add a nice bit of subtle metallic rasp to the sound, this is very pleasing effect for that big warehouse dubstep sound.
Echo:
The delay effect can make a Reece sound wicked! Try using a delay just before the drop.
Reverb:
Again subtle uses of reverb can act very aggressively on your noise, Guitar amp reverbs tend to work well with Reece bass and also come packed with distortion for extra bite.
Other processes that add madness to your Reece include: Distortion, compression, LFO and auto filters work especially well with dubstep.
In summary, it is best to process your Reece sound a lot for dubstep and drum and bass programming. It is a very well used sound, so to make it stand out you will have to be creative with your sound programming skills - Filters act in the biggest way and reverb is essential!

Guitar Care Is The Most Important Parts Of Being A Guitarist!
We believe that guitar care is one of the most important parts of being a guitarist! With some simple steps, you can ensure that your guitar looks, feels and sounds good for years to come. First, find a proper way of storing it – don’t just leave your guitar lying around, it can tip over and fall! Invest in a floor stand or a guitar case – this will do your guitar good in the long run. Clean your guitar often – wipe the neck after every use with a soft cloth, to prevent accumulation of sweat and oils from your hand, and give the fretboard a nice polish every time you change strings. We think a time period of about 1-3 months for changing your guitar strings is fine – when you feel your strings wearing out or sounding dull is a good time to change them. Ensure that your guitar doesn’t have to undergo extremes of temperature – that could really damage the instrument! We also suggest that you take it to your local guitar technician about once in a year, just to get it looked at. Finally, the best way to take care of your guitar is to play it! By using it regularly you’ll be more aware of what’s going on, and therefore be better able to care for it. These simple tips can help you and your guitar in the long run. Good luck!
Guitar lesson 1: Caring for your guitar
Bought a new guitar but don’t know how to maintain it? Worry not! We’ve got help for you. As a guitarist, guitar care is one of the first few things you should learn. Here are some things you should take into account while caring for your guitar:
• Don’t keep it lying around. This seems so obvious, right? But you won’t believe the huge number of avoidable accidents that have happened to guitars simply from bad ideas like being leant against the wall. Buy some form of storage for your guitar – the most common ones being floor stands and cases. Invest in one of these, and you won’t regret it.
• Cleaning. This is one of the most important parts of guitar care. The types of cleaning you should do are:
o Neck. Wipe along the neck of your guitar with a dry, soft cloth after every use to protect your fretboard – the sweat and oils from your hands can accumulate quickly and damage it.
o Fretboard. Each time you change the strings (see next tip), give your fretboard a nice clean. The best way to clean your fretboard is to give it a polish every now and then. Remember, it’s hard to clean fretboards when they do have strings on, so the time when you change strings is perfect to get all the accumulated dust off.
• Changing strings. When you notice your strings are getting slightly worn out or sounding dull, it’s a good time to change your strings. Lots of people are scared about this step, but there’s no reason to be so! Changing your guitar strings periodically (about 1-3 months) can really help the sound of your guitar.
• Temperature. Make sure you protect your guitar from extremes in temperature. Remember, a guitar is mostly wood, so it will be sensitive to changes in temperature.
• Get it looked at. Once in a while, at least. Even if you have been taking regular and good care of it, there will be some parts that might need tweaking and readjustment! About once a year, take it to your Jazz Guitar Lesson– that should do fine.
• Play it! There’s no better way to keep your guitar in tip-top condition than this! Playing regularly is the perfect way for you to ensure that you take notice of your guitar. Forgetting all about your guitar means that it’ll sit in a corner, gather dust, and soon become rusty and unusable – you don’t want that, now!
Just follow these tips and you’ll be sure to have a great-sounding guitar for years. Happy playin’!

What Kind Of Computer Recording Studio Equipment Do I Need To Make Professional Sounding Recordings
Recording on your home computer has never been easier to do than it is today. With the speed of the modern day computer you can do some pretty neat things with your recordings. Modern technology will take you a long way toward success but you still need to understand what is going on if you want to have a great recording. It does not take all that much computer recording studio equipment to have a nice little setup.
To record on your computer you will need a few essential items. You must start out with a powerful computer that has a pretty decent soundcard. The next step is to go shopping for the software you need to actually get the sound inside your computer. You will find a decent set of headphones handy to have around and the most important thing you need is a good microphone. This article will take a look at these items and how they relate to home recording on a computer.
You cannot do much computer recording without a computer. Almost any modern day system will get the job done. The faster CPU and the more memory you have the better. Many people like to build a special computer just for recording purposes. This may be overkill if you only want to record one or two tracks at a time. Next you need to add a good soundcard or audio interface to your system.
There are many choices you can make when picking out a soundcard or external audio interface. You do not have to spend a lot of money to get a decent sound but usually the more expensive brands have some features that you may need. It is wise to search the Internet and forums to see what people are saying about the different soundcards before spending your hard earned money.
You will need to get some recording software to add to your computer recording studio equipment. There are many brands to choose from the free Audacity to programs costing a lot of money. If your recording needs are simple you can probably get by with one of the cheaper packages. On the other hand if you want to record a band you will probably need to spend a few more bucks on one of the more expensive software programs.
Add a microphone to this must have equipment list and you will almost be done. Get the best mike you can afford as the quality of this piece of equipment has much to do with the final sound of your project.
The last thing you will need to complete a basic set up is a set of headphones so you can hear what is being recording. Get a decent set but you can get by ok with a simple pair of headphones.
As you can see you do not have to spend a lot of money on computer recording studio equipment to get started recording on your home computer. Take your time and choose your equipment carefully and you will not have to go this again in 6 months when you have figured out that the cheap stuff you bought just is not getting the job done.

Tips For Selling A Drum Set
Need tips for selling a drum set? With a few helpful tips, you will be able to sell your drum set quickly and receive payment in the amount or close to the amount of the sale price. To get started, answer these questions; does my drum set have sentimental value? Am I in a hurry to sell it? Am I willing to settle for less than the asking price? These few questions will give you some idea to figure out a reasonable asking price. Let us also look into other factors to take into consideration.
Compare with other drum sets
Check to see what would be a fair value by comparing to other used drum sets. Do your research online, check ads from your local music store bulletin board or newspaper. Observe the quality of your drum set in relation to the same set being sold elsewhere. Is the condition of your drum kit in excellent, good, fair or poor condition? Is your asking price in line with other prices?
Drum condition
What state of condition are your drums and accessories? Are they in excellent condition, maybe needing a slight dusting? Do they require a deeper cleaning of mild soap and water? Is there rust on any chrome pieces of the drums, cymbal stands or other hardware? Any missing parts such as lugs, washers, and rubber footings? Are the drumheads cracked or worn? Any cracks on the cymbals? Are the cymbals brilliant or dull in the shine? Do hihat and kick pedals need attention?
Increase your sale price
Get the best price from your set by performing minor repairs to improve looks and performance. Clean the drum shells with a mild soapy solution if the drums are real dirty and then wipe with a dry clean cloth. Use a chrome cleaner for mild rust on chrome parts. If available, replace missing parts usually found at a music or hardware store. Replace cracked or worn drumheads. Use a cymbal cleaner to clean cymbals. For kick pedals, oil a chain driven pedal and replace a belt driven pedal if needed. The bottom line, you will want your drum set to look and perform the best it can.
Where to sell
You might want to use all of the options to sell the set such as utilizing the internet, newspaper, bulletin boards and word of mouth. Of course, use whatever means that you will be comfortable with. Follow all of these great tips to effectively make your sell.

10 Tips To Help Improve Your Singing Voice
Need a little help to improve your singing voice? Here are 10 tips to help you reach your potential!
1. Breath from the diaphragm, not the lungs. You need to really control the air that you're expelling when you sing, and breathing from the diaphragm gives you more air to work with. To do this, breathe so that your stomach goes out rather than your chest when you inhale. When you practice, try to focus on using the same amount of air for low notes and high notes. This will help erase the break between your registers and give you more steady tone.
2. Run through scales-a lot. If this was guitar, it wouldn't be different, and the human voice is a lot less accurate than a guitar. You need to get your sense of pitch down, and you need to train your voice to reach higher and higher if you want to really hit all the notes in your range.
3. Don't strain your voice. Practice is a good thing, but don't try to sing too high or you might damage your vocal cords. Go slow and steady and you'll sing well in no time. Keep your practice time to an hour or so a day, then move up if you feel like it. If you ever feel like your voice is straining, or if you feel soreness or pain, stop right away.
4. Listen to criticism. Singing well takes a long time, and in the meantime you're going to hear people say a lot of bad things about you. If you notice a trend, recognize that people are probably making a good judgment and try to work on the problem aspect of your voice. Don't let anyone get you down who really has nothing to say other than, "you suck," though. You don't see them trying to do this, and they have no idea what they're talking about.
5. Make recordings of yourself. This is the only way to hear your problems, because you can separate yourself from your voice and listen to what other people hear. You may not like this at first, but keep at it; you'll improve vastly, and you'll start to notice stuff you like about your voice and really expand on those things.
6. Talk to established singers. Most of them will be happy to give you some tips and exercises that helped them out, and any time you need to ask for directions, the best idea is to ask the person that's already at your destination.
7. Eat and drink well. Don't do anything that'll dry out your voice and stop you from singing well. Caffeine is bad, as is anything that causes mucous buildup like dairy products (milk in particular is a very bad choice). Don't smoke or drink too much; this can really make you sing poorly. One famous case of booze and cigarettes ruining a classic voice is Harry Nilsson, who shred his vocal cords while working on his "Pussycats" album with John Lennon and ended up carrying a bucket with him to spit blood into during the recording session. His fantastic voice eventually improved and sounded great, but he never could sing quite as well again; his highest register was permanently damaged.
8. Sing for the style. If you're singing country, listen to country singers; if you're singing rock, listen to rock singers. Notice things that are the same in each style and emulate those. Be careful, however, to keep your voice unique, and not to simply copy another singer's voice. Make your personality come out in your music.
9. Experiment with different sounds. Certain noises, like a really nasal note, can help you expand your range if you practice with them. Ask singers for their suggestions, and take them up on it.
10. Finally, stay positive! If you've had a few bad scales, that doesn't mean your voice is going to be bad all day. Drink some warm tea and try again. Don't get down on yourself, and don't think that your voice is bad, or it certainly will be. I know how stupid that sounds, but mindset is definitely a big part of singing, and if you don't think you sound good, neither will anyone else.

Rock Guitar Lessons – Playing Rock!
Rock is one of the most well-liked genres of music that came into existence in the early 1960’s and the one tool that represents rock perfectly is the guitar. Rock music is a genre that has evolved from several genres like rock and roll of the 1940’s and 50’s to country, blues, jazz, and even classical guitar. The acoustic guitar has been there for long but the backbone of Rock is actually the electric guitar that has become the ideal device for playing out torment and disappointment that is associated with rock music.
Some of the greatest rock bands of rock music include Pink Floyd, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Animals, The Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Jethro Tull, and of course the legend called Bob Dylan.

Buy An Mp3 Player
1. Consider your price limitations. What's the maximum you will spend on a MP3 Player or
Mp3 Players , ? This will immediately narrow the field. But don't feel compelled to max out your credit card.
2. Find a suitable design. A player can have every feature in the world, but if the design doesn't match your lifestyle or if the interface is impenetrable, you still won't enjoy it.
3. Check the storage capacity. How much music do you have? Do you think you could, or would, listen to all of it on your MP3 Player?
4. Check the size and weight. Would it be comfortable in your pocket or on your belt? How about when you're moving around?
5. Consider a video feature. One justification for an enlarged hard drive is if you want to store pictures and videos on your portable media player.
6. Consider radio options. There are some Players that will both FM and AM radios stations as well as playing Mp3s , in your car.
7. Check out the battery life. How long and how often do you use it?
8. Check out the headphones, MP3 players use standard stereo headphones. If you don't like the headphones that come with a player, there are a variety of styles you can purchase.
9. Make sure any potential purchase works with your computer. Many Mp3 Players , don't work with Macintosh computers, though that's improving.
10. Look for wide file format support. All players should support the MP3 format, but if you prefer WMA, AAC, or Ogg Vorbis, make sure your player of choice can handle the files.
11. Look at the special features. If you work out a lot, or are often physically active, you might want to consider splash-resistant player, or at least a waterproof skin to cover it.
12. Take a test drive as there's nothing like a hand on experience. Go to your local store and try out the controls, does the player's menu system make sense to you, and is the interface easy to use? If you can't find the songs, artists, or albums you want to play quickly and easily, keep looking.

Sound Effects For Your Use In Music Production
To Produce or create a different range of sound effects for use with your music prodiction I will begin by explaining the different types of controls that are in most commonly used in filters and EQ effects
Cutoff frequency/Cutoff point:
The designated frequency of a filter after which the sound is not allowed to pass. In a high-pass filter, a high cutoff frequency will be excessively trebly and bright, as no low frequencies will be present. In a low-pass filter, a low cutoff frequency may be too muted and dark, as no high frequencies or overtones will be present
Attenuation
This will reduce or silence the desired frequency
Bandwidth/Q/Resonance/Emphasis/Peak
Bandwidth/Q/Resonance/Emphasis/Peak. The filter effects the range of frequencies on the desired side of the cutoff point and measured in Hertz, so it relates to frequency. Although if it was measured in octaves It would be more efficient
The usage of the terms 'bandwidth' and 'Q' are most commonly used to relate to recording purposes. 'Bandwidth' is the most useful, because it tells you about the overall sound control. Q is short for 'Quality' or, 'figure of Quality'
Resonance increases the frequencies around the cutoff point and is regularly used in synthesis. It is also used to put the filter into self-oscillation, which is not usually done with a recording.
To control the sound effect, you need to learn about the different EQ types. Here are the EQ types you will encounter.
The 5 different EQ types are:
Fixed EQ. This is usually a single control Like Bass or Treble. Mixers Could have Low (bass) and High (treble) EQ controls. The cutoff frequency here is fixed and you control the amount of cut or boost.
Graphic EQ. The frequency ranges are fixed divided into a series of bands to make cut and boost individually. Each row of sliders control a specific frequency band. They are common on hi fi systems. It also stands alone studio devices and can be found in software. Nevertheless, you can technically divide the spectrum into any number of bands, typical divisions on hardware units are 15 and 31 covering two-thirds and one-third of an octave ranges respectively.
Parametric EQ. With parametric EQ you change the frequency of the bands. It has typically three or four bands, each with three controls - cutoff frequency, bandwidth and level, allowing you to use specific frequencies within a very tight range.
Paragraphic EQ. This is a kind of super-parametic EQ. It blurs the line between graphic and parametric. It offers several bands like a graphic, but with user-definable frequency bands like a parametric; However, as this can become quite complex, they also tend to have highly-graphic interfaces to watch exactly what frequencies are being affected.
Sweeping/Semi-parametric EQ. This is the middle between a fixed EQ and a full parametric EQ - while the bandwidth is fixed, you can control the centre frequency (the cutoff point). It's common to many mixers. Normally, you can find fixed Low and High EQ with a sweepable mid range control.

Cutoff frequency/Cutoff point:
The designated frequency of a filter after which the sound is not allowed to pass. In a high-pass filter, a high cutoff frequency will be excessively trebly and bright, as no low frequencies will be present. In a low-pass filter, a low cutoff frequency may be too muted and dark, as no high frequencies or overtones will be present
Attenuation
This will reduce or silence the desired frequency
