Pro Music Production Tips - A Few Friendly Pointers that may help You on Your Way

By Mick LLaleBeoufey

When I started in music production, I wished that I might have somebody that could answer all of the questions I had and explain everything and expand my understanding in the areas I was lacking. The difficulty is that the whole area of music production is big, not to mention most of the people have their own unique way of doing things. I'm now going to offer you some pieces of advice that are vital in your success and will help you to pave a path to a professional music production.

Do not mix for too long ; let your ears rest - it is important to take breaks during mixing. For each hour you are mixing a track permit a 20 minutes break. This is quite hard if you're doing PC music production, as the computer you will be mixing on will no doubt be in the room you spend most of your time. Now. No-one really sticks to this break-time formula as regular clockwork but it is something to aim for and maybe let this time overlap slightly .

I'd say to take 5 sooner if you're working on a tiny repeated section of a song for some time, as your intelligence will just 'let go' and not be pointy and anything will sound amazing after a bit sabotaging any plan to get a professional music production finished.

Don't mix in a big roomy environment - Anything that changes the sound of your track that's outside of computer music production or a mixing desk is an issue. If you mix like this, you may get a pro music production out of your track but once you take it out of the room you mixed it in it will sound totally terrible as the ambiance and acoustics of that room are not present.

Do not mix a music track on the same day recording it - This is for two reasons. First reason would be as you use two different parts of your brain to do each. For one you've got to actually concentrate hard and the second is the opposite, you would like to concentrate too but you also desire forget what you are doing and sense or feel.

The second reason would be caused by the probable levels your ears have had exposure to during recording, some artists / bands wouldn't have this but they would have the 1st reason as a reason not to do both mixing and recording on one day. It can be hard if you're working on a PC music production but you must learn how to leave it alone and give your consciousness and ears a rest ; do something that uses your other senses and don't sit in the same place that you'll mix in when you're not mixing.

How You Can Play Ponticello

By Clayton Haslop

A couple days ago I received a question asking how to play ponticello easily and with the right 'sound'. Now, in case you didn't know this, ponticello is a kind of special effect. And it is produced when the bow tracks so close to the bridge that the string produces many higher frequencies not part of the normal overtone series. The result is a kind of eerie, slightly scratchy color to the sound.

Now, there are two issues that make the execution of this effect a little more challenging than drawing a pure tone.

First, it is critical that the bow track right next to the bridge without deviation. You'll notice that when you draw a normal tone, the bow can wander back and forth between bridge and fingerboard to some extent without negatively impacting the sound - one likes to avoid this, but it can happen. As soon as the bow wanders from the bridge in ponticello, however, the effect disappears immediately.

The second issue is control. Because the bow is not fully 'in the string,' as we say in string parlance, there is, in fact, a greater tendency for hidden tensions in the bow arm to manifest in just the wandering mentioned above.

Sometimes, as when the bow suddenly passes OVER the bridge - and this happens to everyone at one time or another - this 'wandering' becomes more akin to an alarming betrayal.

The question is how to practice this technique so it becomes secure and well behaved without the counter-productive tensions mentioned above.

First thing I would do is some slow, quiet, long bows ponticello to get in touch with the purity of my bow stroke, from tip to frog. Once you've gotten a sense of the bow placement, you can begin playing some scales and arpeggios using the entire length of the bow; very smooth, no spaces between the notes. At first you may want to play single notes per bow. As the constancy of the bow stroke increases, however, I suggest you slur notes together until reaching eight or twelve to a stroke.

Gradually increase the weight on the string; relaxed arm weight until reaching forte or even fortissimo. Remember, the downward weight and pressure should in no way affect the freedom of the arm to move the bow horizontally.

Now ponticello is also often called for in combination with tremolo, a fast, repeated, and unmeasured stroking of one note. To practice this variant I recommend arriving at tremolo by starting at a slow rate of speed using just the forearm, in the upper half of the bow. From there gradually increase the speed and narrow the travel of the bow. As you stroke more rapidly, again add arm weight to reach a dynamic of forte.

The secret to adding tremolo successfully goes back to the purity of your detach, really. Understand that I do not use my wrist - unless I'm feeling quite lazy - to produce my tremolo; simply the forearm. And for this the elbow joint must be absolutely free of restriction.

Ponticello really forces you to separate the vertical weight of the arm from the relaxed horizontal movements of the arm. It requires absolute freedom in the joints of the right arm. And these together make it an excellent tool for sharpening the efficiency and purity of your bow arm. - 18424
