Steinway Pianos: The World's Most Popular Piano

By Pete Malcolm


Steinway & Sons have been in the piano making business for well over 150 years. Their superior craftsmanship is evident in their pianos which are carved from the finest of materials. They manufacture three main types of pianos: the Essex, the Boston and the Steinway at the top of the food chain. The Steinway brand, which they manufacture, is the creme de la creme of all pianos.

Steinway pianos, made by the legendary Steinway & Sons, all come with elegant ebony finishing. For a custom finish, you can request one of the crown jewel veneers that the manufactures offer. From a walnut finish to an East Indian Rosewood, your desires will be well met. For those with deeper pockets, you could opt for a limited edition piano such as the one commemorating John Lennon.

It's not hard to decide on which piano to get although it takes some time to assess a few basic ideas. One way to ensure that you get the best piano for you is to assess your financial status. If you can afford the grandest of pianos then you have the most options open to you. It's important to know your budget before going to look at the pianos. You must also calculate how much room you have in your house or studio before heading out to purchase one. Grand pianos occupy more space than their upright counterparts. If you are really short on space, then a digital keyboard might be fit for you. If you are buying it for someone then it would be wise to know their tastes. The age of the person might come in handy. There is no need to buy a grand piano for a baby although for a serious student it will be greatly appreciated.

Concerning DJ Sound Effects

By Foster Mirbaha


Standing out from the busy crowd of DJ's, hip-hop artists & other would-be artists would make you have some good tunes. These requires you to have a set of structure. The listeners subconscious minds 'and the ones that stay there all day are considered the most successful beats and tracks. You need to make tracks that are different and this is to achieve in this area of music. You have to create music that no one else has and it may include: abstract sounds or a catchy beat. If you just make beats that sound like everyone else's, what makes you think that people are going to listen to yours over the other 1000's of the same thing!?

For the Timbaland, we know it creates dope beats. One main reason why many people would love to listen is because they catch the attention of every listener. These beats include the various and unique sounds Other producers, including the Neptunes, Dre and Scott Storch also make the beats and tracks that stick in our subconscious after we hear it on the radio, or at our favorite club. If you want to be an artist, producer or a DJ in the music industry, you have to create tracks that are indeed fresh.

A huge range of new DJ Sound Effects can now be downloaded in the internet. Getting for the tunes that are paid or taken for free are all your personal choice. Just remember that in the music game, you usually get what you pay for with regards to the quality and audio standard. Once downloaded, or purchased, these new sound effects can be imported into your current software. FL Studio is used by some people. But ProTools is also very good to be used. There are some tools that allow you to set in a kind of a sampler, that then triggers you to have some various effects that can be chosen for your library using a keyboard or other hardware. Among the rest, it will always be better to have beats that are unique, and get the chance to download these files for your device. Then you may even try to have it in your keyboard as you try to have some various tempos and rhythms on it.

Whether you are a beginner or experienced music producer, depending on your level, but you may use some drum loops on hand. It would be easier for someone to preset some drum loops, alter the tempo and add some abstract sound effects over the top. Becoming one that you have ever longed for should demand you to create a 100% unique beat or track. You have to grab some drum samples and start from a scratch. This splits your beats, hence, you can add some audio elements on it while creating the beat you really want to have and listen at.

You have to create some good tunes, if you want to position yourself apart from the tight playing field of rappers, hip-hop artists & other would-be artists. You are demanded to have a set structure. You should create a music that stays at the subconscious of the person after listening to the beat. You need to prepare for a killer beat!

Boosting Your Harmonic Voice With Online Singing Lessons

By Wendy Vickers


How many times have we been constantly yelled at just trying to imitate our favorite singer? Surely singing in the shower is not enough to come close to those high notes. We shy away from performing in public afraid that the irate mob might throw tomatoes on us on stage. It is such a shame that you cannot showcase that singing voice in public without being under the influence of beer or wine spirit. You might want to take online singing lessons to lift that frustration. It is better to have tried and lose than to never have tried at all, right?

Although this is a free country, the public has the right to make objections when you start to break a tune. Music is intended for relaxation and enjoyment so have the decency to admit that you might be breaking some rules and polluting the air with your beautiful voice. It is a science so learn to follow rules.

We are all gifted with such talent. We are blessed with a beautiful voice. Many may not notice but there is a perfect song for everybody. Once you have realized this, we can now determine the type of voice range you have. Remember music is a perfect blend of harmony, rhythm and sound. If we fail to imitate the original song, try to come up with your own rendition and obtain your own signature.

Being online allows you to learn each lesson according to your own phase. Even a busy body such as yourself can learn the basics in the privacy of your own phase. It would be best to look around first before starting the lesson. You want to surprise your unsuspecting family or friends, right?

Most programs offer a combination of vocal projection theory and practical exercises. This helps strengthen those vocal chords, make use of other respiratory organs and adapt better pronunciation and diction when delivering a song. The science of music relies on the ability of its student to adapt the approach and use it to his advantage. Tips and suggestions are also provided to make use of such talent in a productive manner.

Practice makes a living. Applying what you have learned can help you gain confidence and skill necessary in your career. Making use of such talent as a productive means of extending that budget is a worthy cause. However until such time try to hide behind the bushes to avoid those critics from totally discouraging you to pursue your talent.

Fairly Grrrrrrreat - RF Wireless Headphones Review

By Grace Ward


Also, when put them on, I keep hearing this strange echo, even unplugged. For that price, I love these headphones! When compared with JVC HARX300, an additional recommended full-sized headphone, this Sony unit has larger bass and more sizzle at the very top end. Too large for the street. It sounds like a radio on low volume.

These were huge and comfortable.

The bass below 32Hz can still be heard, however with little of the fundamental frequency and many of the odd order harmonics. Comfortable for around 4 hours.

It fits easily around your ear. If you are seeking some decent-priced headphones which get you thru the work day, these are good. The quality of sound is pretty great.

Comfort and ease, cost and quality were the main factors in my purchase and satisfaction with one of these cool headphones.

So I began searching for Amazon and found these cool headphones for much less. I purchased them due to the cost (I was not going to invest $100 on headphones I seldom use) and because I desired something capable of giving a great bass. Midrange and treble detail is good enough to reveal shortcomings in the mp3s.

If you simply want something to listen to casually, go on and buy these. Considering the price of the gear it's one of the best headphones of the market. Plus the quality of sound was great, and othger reviewers have given more indepth coverage on technical skills. This evaluation is targeted at individuals with eyeglasses and whose ears get pinched between your eyeglass arms and the earphones.

I put on glasses and the earpieces can be painfully irritating when they are pressed between my ears and my headphones. The Koss headphones hold on far better and are softer for a wireless home stereo system, and wider and more versatile over head. But based on what you are using them to hear, the sound might be somewhat muffled. The rf wireless headphones completely enclose your ears. I would suggest these headphones to friends, but would alert them of the volume issue first. I'm able to still hear my co-workers speaking (although not clearly know what they're talking about) while listening to songs. You will get these loud without distortion. Huge disappointment for somebody who purchased them to shut everybody around me up. The ten foot cord is a big plus also. For a $25 set of headphones, sound is nice! Nearly forgot to say, the Sennheiser HD201 is missing on the bass. I usually have a test I use on all my new headphones and speakers, I refer to it as "The Wound" Test. If you are moving around a lot with them, expect the long wire to get in the way. According to other reviews, I had been hopeful I had found an inexpensive decent-quality set of headphones.

Excellent Headphones For The Cost - RF Wireless Headphones Review

By Amelia Bennett


Worse, there isnt enough there to glue it back or try some repairs. Highs are reasonable.

I purchased these headphones thinking these were yet another set of headphones. The bass below 32Hz can still be heard, however with little of the fundamental frequency and many of the odd order harmonics. Regardless of how much I adjusted it, the discomfort wouldn't go away. I am no audiophile, however I do listen to songs all day long while at the office. Since these were the least expensive I was expecting bad things but i'm happy to report they sounded every bit as good as the more costly ones and were probably the most comfortable. They fit nicely without binding.

They are truly comfy and the quality of sound is excellent. So I began searching for Amazon and found these cool headphones for much less.

They're tough to fit these acoustic research wireless headphones in a bag and travel with.

They are doing their job well in that department, and for $25 you cannot fare better for this application. Avoid these headphones I purchased these for my mp3 and they are worst than my previous head phones. The ten foot cord is a big plus also.

Fantastic pair of headphones. The cord is long, like 11 feet or something like that.

They are essentially earmuffs with a function. If you are on a tight budget looking for headphones to record and/or monitor recordings with, then they are the ideal choice. Many people will require to these features, however I find these headphones nearly useless. These headphones barely muffle sound at all (primary reason I purchased them) plus they are big. One "con" is the fact that these headphones are very big, as in measure about 2" out from your face and that is how far these stand out. Also keep in mind my client, who purchased a Sony, not baloney! The rf wireless headphones have excellent quality of sound and were really affordable. If you are looking for great sounding headphones; they are for you personally. They aren't as loud and you will hear the background music about 30 feet at high volume away. No they do not sound like a $200 variety, however I have paid more than $100 and never had any better sound. I got myself these headphones for my 13-year-old son to use with his iPod.

Painful Headstrap - Wireless Headphones For Computer Review

By Lillian Wood


I truly do enjoy them plus they are a lot better than the pair I acquired from JVC, which appeared to slip off at the slightest movement of my head. Extra long cord is a plus I am an university college student in an audio/video degree, they're fantastic, I bring them back and forth with me daily plus they are designed for alot of beating up. The cord is hefty and thick. If youre searching for comfortable headphones that gently hug your ears. But what the hey, they are studio headphones, over-the-head, not earbuds or behind the neck sport headphones, who cares? The headset fits all ears, and it has a good and fine adjustable body that matches all heads from small to extremely large bulging skulls. Once you put these badboys on, all sound around you gets significantly lower. I'm able to put them on for hours and it doesn't bother me a bit.

I even tried to place a little fabric underneath the band to alleviate pressure, but that did not help a lot at all.

I mean, no one is going to walk past you and miss these wireless headphones for computer.

They are doing the job but it lacks a lot sound. The "sound mode" switch is simply there for looks as far and i'm concerned. I'm happy with them. Simple listening, with tremendous long cord and adapting plug. I've not tried the Sennheiser HD 202 Dynamic Headphones yet and was usually hesitant because of all of the critiques about comfort and ease and fit.

Looking for good bass? I'm pleased with the sound for the most part and the pads are comfy in these kids headphones. Fantastic sound, fantastic comfort and ease, extra long cord that hangs from one side that makes it much more tangle proof very light not heavy and covers whole ear. The sound is unquestionably a lot better than any set of earbud headphones that I have ever had. Bass will get loud and not distorted.

The cord is sufficiently long and I can certainly walk till kitchen with my headphones on and the laptop on the dining room table.

However, if you are planning to use these on ur iPods and audio players and just listening to music or watching movies on your PC, like basically sedentary activites, possibly even the sporadic subway ride (if you do not mind the unavoidable stares from fellow passengers), then these are the headphones to purchase. My head is a touch small so I was happy they fit pretty much.

The internet specs say the cord length is 3.3 foot. The product is marketed as a "sound reducing" gadget. They're comfortable for me personally especially since I put on glasses.

These have a super long cable too! Nice choice for this price.

You might want to try different. These headphones are actually fantastic, and thinking about the price - some twenty bucks - and it's well worth the cash!

Where You Can Select Your Apartment Holiday Rental In Rio De Janeiro

By Alfredo Bechara


Real-estate property in Rio de Janeiro aren't so distinct from any place else on the planet. It truly is in relation to location. As a gringo arriving at Rio de Janeiro for a 6 month business trip and holiday, I wanted to get accommodations that were easy to transportation, sensibly safe and would not break my financial budget. I had a short-term apartment room with a friend of mine therefore I had time to hunt for apartments for rent thus I did not have to dash straight into whatever. I could manage to check around and be selective.

I made it important to seek my apartment rentals in the Zona Sul (South Zone) considering that would minimize my travel time. South Zone locations have nuances which you may not really recognize the 1st time through. Different areas have different features and the costlier areas might not exactly generally have the amenities you desire.

Regardless of the fact that Copacabana Beach is so popular and excellent for brief holidays, it may not necessarily be so for longer term living. Despite that, the safety level has considerably improved recently so should you desire to be in the center of all the excitement without paying the excessive rates such as what you will see with Ipanema rentals subsequently Copacabana should be your travel spot.

Leblon and Ipanema flats are excellent South Zone residential communities meaning that you have to pay a premium for apartment rentals here. Rentals are high, condominium rates are high, dining places are more expensive, pubs are more pricey, and moreover supermarket pricing is more expensive. However, if you have the cash, it is the area to live.

Moreover, the metro was recently extended to Ipanema so travelling to Copacabana, Botofogo, Flamengo and further has grown to become quite convenient. So when travelling to Rio de Janeiro and considering the places you wish to rent an apartment, your two major choices will be Ipanema or Copacabana.

Top 5 Things To Consider When Recording A Vocal Track

By Dennis Duncan




Getting a great vocal track does not require thousands of dollars of recording gear. An impressive vocal can be achieved by working with an experienced singer on limited recording gear. Consider all the unbelievable vocal tracks from the Beatles. Those guys didn't have Protools, computers or anything more than vintage recording gear. While adequate gear is necessary it isn't always the determining factor when trying to get a great vocal out of a singer. It really depends on what type of band or artist you are working with. Here are some quick "non-gear related tips" to take into account when recording a singer.

1. If you have a home studio then it is more than likely that you don't have a vocal iso-booth that has glass so that you can see in to the isolation booth Make sure the singer in the isn't kicking back on a stool or chair. I know it sounds boneheaded but it happens all the time, especially when you as the producer or engineer can't see in to the isolation booth. Be careful to make sure your singer is standing up. The voice needs support and that support originates in the mid-section of the body; the diaphram. The diaphram is the central muscle of the human body and is the muscle responsible for breathing. If your singer is slumped over, sitting down or in an awkward position it will be obvious in their tone. So, be on the look out for anomalies in their tone. Especially if their tone is changing as the song progresses. Change in tone will typically be caused by improper posture or them sitting down in the booth.

2. While I don't encourage anyone to start smoking, contrary to what most people think, smoking doesn't really affect your voice. Smoking affects your breathing capacity and as a result hampers a singers ability to sing for extended periods of time. So, if you have a singer that smokes don't get bogged down in trying to convince he or she that their inability to "get the great vocal track" is because they smoke. It simply isn't true.

3. Good microphone positioning is key. You never want your singer's head and neck at an awkward angle. Be sure to adjust the mic to a position that is adequate for your singer's height. Just a few inches too high or too low will adversely affect a singers tone. You may have to experiment a bit to get the correct tone for your singer. I've seen singers wrestle in the studio and then I make one minute change to the angle or height of their microphone and it makes all the difference in the world.

4. Hot liquids don't help. I've had singers say "Hey, I'm gonna get a hot tea or coffee". When they get back to the studio I make them dilute the hot drink to cool it down to room temperature because most of them don't realize that the heat isn't good for the vocal chords. Heat actually shocks the vocal chords. It is good practice to always drink luke warm water or tea. Keep away from carbonated soft drinks in the studio as the sugar does more harm than good to the chords. Try throat coat tea. Throat coat has slippery elm bark as an ingredient. Slippery elm bark has been known to coat the vocal chords and give singers "a little grease on the pipes" to help them sing for extended periods of time.

5. Make sure your singer is well rested. A tired vocal is a bad vocal. I've recorded vocals when I was tired or hung over. I've never recorded a good one when I was tired or hung over. Remember, you are painting an audible picture for the listener. If the vocal sounds exhausted then you aren't recording a great vocal. Make sure your singer is energetic. If not, send them home to get rest and try again another day.

American Idol Step 6 of 10 To Increase Your Chances Of Getting Your Favorite Vocal Reality Show

By Dennis Duncan




Step 6 in increasing your chances of getting on any vocal reality show should be that you should carefully choose your song or songs.

Here are some ideas when you want to audition for American Idol. If it were me, I would choose a song that you sing well and then choose two additional songs in the same genre and key that are similar and ready those as well. If you don't know what key a song is in, then take it to a trusted music teacher and have them figure it out for you. This can be a school, church, vocal coach, etc. and they will assist you. As I suggested in the earlier steps of the 10 Steps You Should Do to Increase Your Chances of Getting on Your Favorite Vocal Reality Show, by now, you should have found an expert vocal coach, someone that you can trust, and they can help you select the right songs for your voice, vibe and character.

Of the three songs that you opt for make sure you have at least one ballad and one up tempo. You can never be sure what kind of mood you may be in when you step up to the plate for what might be your most important audition of your life!

Why would one need three songs for an audition when you may only have about forty five seconds to display your talent? Well, you may get distracted when auditioning and you may need a a second song choice, depending on the vibe of the auditions. There are many variables with auditioning contestants that you may encounter, and you could be potentially "thrown off your game". Don't just sell yourself on one song that you think you do great. Find three that you do well and put those into your performance/audition: master each of them.

Remember, you can't be a one trick pony. You have to be versatile. You may make it to the top 24 of your favorite vocal reality show but making it to the top 12 or, even the finals, is a different ballgame.

In our next article we will discuss Step 7 Practice Makes Perfect. See you then...

"Cans" Do The Job - Infrared Wireless Headphones Review

By Chris Lee


I am no audiophile, however I do listen to songs all day long while at the office. As I don't claim to be an audiophile, I had been quite happy with these budget headphones. They sound okay but, they get uncomfortable before long.

The only real downside that I noticed is it's two modes: film and songs, and switching between the two doesn't actually make a difference. Music quality: I am not an audiophile, so I can't provide technical details, however the music that I play (be it Def Leppard or Lang Lang) sounds "full" with adequate treble and bass. If you research this set of headphones on Sony's (the maker) site, it seems to indicate it's about a 1m (3 foot) cord, with a 2m extension for a total around 10 feet. But based on what you are using them to hear, the sound might be somewhat muffled. They are truly comfy and the quality of sound is excellent. Though, the cord is simply too long. Colleagues adjacent to my cube can listen to almost anything I play. For a $25 set of headphones, sound is nice! I previously had the black over the head earphones that cost about the same. I purchased these to listen to music on my small Ipod and play games. Only thing is, I can not hear any difference after I change from Music to Film modes. These headphones are extremely great for sound and quality. Opened the infrared wireless headphones up a 1/2 hour ago. Cant wait to use them with an approaching red eye flight, I may use these headphones all day long without getting drained so I suggest them.

An excellent product for that price; however, what it really lacks is a comfortable headband to go along with its plush ear-covers. They're very good for blocking out outside sound. General I would say these headphones are horrible. I have no issues with them. I really like that the head band is open, so it doesn't overheat you. The letter s and the letter f are heard in a high end pitch.

If you are planning to listen all night at any given time, these should feel fine.

While they are comfortable and produce decent sound, they're made from cheap plastics and are not well worth the money if you don't like hearing squeaking, creaking and cracking noises from the plastic parts each time you move your face.

Only one problem: the merchandise doesn't quite match the description on Amazon: "Features include high-energy neodymium magnets, a 2.5m extension cord and a convenient sound mode change to match the sound source. It is like something is going on behind you.

Great Overall - Wireless Headphones For Computer Review

By Zoey Hill


Ellingsong They aren't bad for the price however the 10 foot cord gets kind of annoying plus they get uncomfortable before long. They're lightweight, comfortable, and the sound is extremely natural with strong clear bass.

I attempted to figure out the main difference. However, if you are planning to use these on ur iPods and audio players and just listening to music or watching movies on your PC, like basically sedentary activites, possibly even the sporadic subway ride (if you do not mind the unavoidable stares from fellow passengers), then these are the headphones to purchase. I haven't noticed a differences in the Sound/Movie feature. Dollar for dollar you will not get a better headphone. They are not very adjustable and the fit is loose.

They are great headphones at a fantastic cost and im happy. Will continue to use them for several years in the future. I keep buying them since they're this type of good deal. I purchased mine for $24. You will find points within the songs where it may sound a little hollow, such as the low-end of the midrange is lacking.

I love these wireless mp3 head phones and the high quality. The cost is excellent too!

For the price of these, they're very good. I purchased them based on some of the more technical reviews which were posted. Sharp highs, quick bass response (just a little lacking though in power in the lows). The ear part of the cuffs encircle your whole ear so there's nothing to pressure your ears and hurt like other headphones with smaller sized ear cuffs.

My head is a touch small so I was happy they fit pretty much.

Truly great headphones for the value, but can not seem to get them to not make my ears hurt while I put on my glasses. For the cost I'm happy with these wireless headphones for computer. I used these wireless mp3 head phones to listen to audio programs and some films.

Initially when I first put them on my head I was truly amazed at how light and comfy these were. If you wish to put these down you'll find good reasons to but for the money they speak for themselves. They're lightweight but they're a little on the bulky side which doesn't really bother me. I do not hear the kid's TV or my wife's public radio in my ears while I'm groovin' to the latest download. Sound is extremely distinct, good bass and most importantly they are comfortable around my neck and head. I'll keep this extremely short and sweet.

Great Headphones - Infrared Wireless Headphones Review

By Gavis Edwards


I usually have a test I use on all my new headphones and speakers, I refer to it as "The Wound" Test. I really like sitting and hearing songs as loud as I could possibly get it and listening to acoustic research wireless headphones is the best way of achieving that with out making your neighbor or loved ones angry. This may have to do with the predominantly plastic bodyparts, but if you don't plan to use this as a rugby ball, I believe these headphones can last a while. I'm happy, this group of headphones replaced a relatively inexpensive group of Koss headphones, the main difference in the quality of sound is very apparent. I wear them for eleven hours each day. The set on these rf wireless headphones is big although not uncomfortably so. I know they aren't the best sounding headphones and you may think that you get what you paid for, however the last time I had headphones such as these, they cost me a lot more than two times than these but they did not have the large 40 mm magnets and they were pioneer. We like the sound.

Nearly forgot to say, the Sennheiser HD201 is missing on the bass.

And don't think these provide great bass response.

Music sounds great though. These infrared wireless headphones are the most useful I ever had. They're comfortable and sound great on my small computer, my music player, and my tablet. While they are comfortable and produce decent sound, they're made from cheap plastics and are not well worth the money if you don't like hearing squeaking, creaking and cracking noises from the plastic parts each time you move your face. These headphones are huge with a huge cable. It's also great for such things as films and online lectures.

They are fantastic headphones, fantastic quality of sound, looks awesome, comfy, fits any head, and light weight. They are ideal for what I wanted. These headphones have an extra long cord (description says 3.3 feet but mine came with 11 feet). You won't be dissapointed. I'm listening to music at this time using these headphones, and it rocks! Sound blocking: Despite the closed-ear style, it does not have the desired effect with the music switched off. Every other song, it sounds average. They are essentially earmuffs with a function. Your ears will start to sweat eventually, but that actually can not be helped.

Overall an excellent affordable pair of headphones. The cost is excellent for it's high quality and the cost was right. I've had these for some time and have them connected to my stereo receiver until I get a brand new set of headphones.

Serious Sound - RF Wireless Headphones Review

By Joseph Wood


If you simply want something to listen to casually, go on and buy these. When you get it, you'll instantly understand the cheap plastic supplies it's made from. I personally use it to watch movie, play with my Midi instruments. The rf wireless headphones have excellent quality of sound and were really affordable. You should not be disappointed as I am not!

Anyway, the bass is horrible.

But thats okay, if dealt with carefully they might be servicable for a while. As a matter of fact, my sound technician at church purchased from me because he liked the quality of sound and comfort of these infrared wireless headphones.

They look very stylish, and provide good quality of sound for there budget range. They aren't as loud and you will hear the background music about 30 feet at high volume away. They're tough to fit these acoustic research wireless headphones in a bag and travel with. Colleagues adjacent to my cube can listen to almost anything I play. When compared with JVC HARX300, an additional recommended full-sized headphone, this Sony unit has larger bass and more sizzle at the very top end.

It sounds like a radio on low volume. The earcup paper will flake off within a few years or under heavy use, just like a comparable Sony I had.

Fit snugly and comfy, sound production is excellent (I am no audiophile so I believe its great), and also you can't beat the cost. There's just one wire coming out of these headphones - on the left side (my connection would be to the left so I love the one wire thing). They harm after a few minutes of wear and tear.

But based on what you are using them to hear, the sound might be somewhat muffled. I had no clue how good these where likely to sound. Not a problem listening to portable devices because it is quite sensitive for such a large headphone, which can not be said of larger diameter headphones. The merchandise I received has a single, long, 10 foot cord. If there is an opportunity you may want richer sound, so if you have some extra bucks I recommend you continue searching for head phones. General it's a great value for your money. Highly recommended.

However, the quality of sound is extremely dulled and lacks clarity. The quality in these headphones are amazing. A good buy.

Very soft earpads, so don't poke them or scratch them or anything. They're really targeted at reproducing the mids.

This Is A Great Pair Of Headphones - Wireless Headphones For Computer Review

By Sophia Simmons


At the same time, I additionally purchased the Sennheiser HD201 Lightweight Over-Ear Binaural Headphones. They're well cushioned, with soft fake skinny leather-like vinyl which I did not find causes sweating whatsoever. I took a chance on these headphones, and desired to share my knowledge about them in case there are other hearing-impaired individuals that are looking or need headphones that will work with their hearing aids in position. They make sound whenever you move, and the cord in it makes sound as it moves too.

Anyway I will recomend it for you men. As you can tell in the pictures these aren't small. Notice these aren't meant for active use but for sitting or standing still and listening. The buying price of $22 is extremely reasonable but when you're into listening to hours of music or tv then these won't make you happy. These best-sounding headphones was an ancient, 20 year old pair of Sennheiser RS120 wireless headphones.

I do not understand why these have gotten so many reviews that are positive. I've not tried the Sennheiser HD 202 Dynamic Headphones yet and was usually hesitant because of all of the critiques about comfort and ease and fit. They have good sound, however it can only be appreciated in a peaceful atmosphere. They are excellent headphones for the price. Again my fast solution would be to increase frequencies over 4k a bit thru EQ, that can bring much better balance to its fairly undistorted bass. If you are an egghead, or perhaps a "pointy-headed intellectual" (as Joe McCarthy used to rave), these may not fit so nicely.

I'm pleased with the sound for the most part and the pads are comfy in these kids headphones. The wireless voip headset in the 100-300 dollar range exert more clarity, definition, and detail, however they are also in the 100-300 dollar budget range. The quality of sound is great, as far as I can tell.

While these do not claim to be sound cancelling, I defiantly cannot hear anything around me with the sound on low. I wear these headphones for 9-10 hours daily at the office and they are great. I made a decision to purchase some for myself in July 2010. Amazon had what my mega-wholesalers couldn't provide! The quality of sound exceeded my expectations for something that costs $20, but I've heard much better though. Great wireless headphones for computer your money can buy. One) I wish to keep this inexpensive alternative when youngsters are around and want to use a headphone. The sound switch on the ears is foolish and ineffective (does not matter). Nonetheless they sound quite muddy. I own more expensive Sony headphones and these ones are definately great for the cost paid. I promise you will not regret buying these!

One type of guitar which you may locate used for less than $100 would be the Squire Affinity by Fender. The Affinity Stratocaster is often called an entry level guitar, even though it provides plenty of excellent features. It'll undoubtedly make a very good beginner electric guitar. Let's get a better look at a few of it's attributes.

The Affinity arrives with a light-weight alder wood body. The guitar neck is a bolt-on guitar neck, produced from maple. The finger board, in true Fender style, is crafted from rosewood. Rosewood, naturally, would be the wood of choice in the vintage Fender Stratocaster. It is well-known for offering a exceptional feel.

The Affinity contains a pair of single coil pick-ups, as well as a 3rd humbucking pick-up. They have the conventional Stratocaster type five way blade switch. Additionally, it features a master volume control and a couple of tone controls.

The tuners are actually die cast. It's got the synchronous tremolo bridge. All the hardware is available in chrome. The headstock will be in the vintage 1960's style and design. It will come with twenty one medium jumbo frets. In addition, it will come with the traditional whammy bar. With all the very same common features in the far more costly Stratocaster model, the Affinity will enable you to get a feel for using this sort of electric guitar and all the features and setup which is available with it. It'll help set you up for success later on once you choose to move up to the much more pricy Strat.

The reviews for this particular electric guitar are in general quite good. It is a good little electric guitar for cutting your teeth on. You will see them in lots of awesome finishes, such as black, midnight blue, as well as red. Due to the fact they're entry level electric guitars, you will come across a lot of them traded in to leading music shops when the players move up to a lot more costly models. Consequently, there are lots of great deals to be had on the market. As I stated, you can find lots of models presently offered for below $100. The majority of the retailers which offer these used models are going to have their own electric guitar techs go through them and get them all setup for the future buyer. This involves testing out each of the electronics, putting on new guitar strings, tuning it up, and obviously cleaning it. Of course you'll be able to always elect to go with a brand new model. The brand-new models usually go for just a little less than $300.

By Aaron Anastasi


Learning to sing is a great deal like learning anything else, as well as the fact is if you really desire to get more desirable promptly at that point you want to take some type of lessons, whether that is online singing lessons or taking individual classes from an instructor.

My recommendation is to take some type of internet performing lessons courses where you don't just get singing lessons however you acquire a systematic understanding of the voice, how it works and how genuinely to turn into a better singer.

An on the internet performing lesson course is actually significantly less expensive than private lessons, first of all, and even you stop up with a ton extra classes, as well as lessons that you need on file to keep so you can easily continue watching them over as well as over, if you want to. It seems like it is actually way more cost-efficient to me. Even you obtain all of the classes up front, which implies you can easily kind of tailor the course to the means you desire to experience the material. If you are a rapid student, than you can easily take the lessons back to back promptly, however if you want more time, at that point you can go ahead and take the time you ought.

And exactly what you truly want when it comes to singing lesson type process is something that takes you step-by-step, a legitimate systematic technique to learning that will expose you to every facet of what it takes to sing well. This is actually great, especially if you have somehow collected up some bad patterns along the way in your performing and want to adjust those and constructing great patterns in their location.

It is actually far less highly-priced as well as much more beneficial.

Learning to sing encompasses two main things. There is actually the know-how component, which gets to do with understanding about singing and concerning the voice. This includes all of the tips as well as techniques and expertise regarding the voice. The second component has to do with utilizing the authentic vocal exercises. Considering your voice is actually made of mostly of muscle, those muscles ought to be actually reinforced if you wish them to perform at optimal levels. When you enhance the muscles in your voice you need additional authority over those muscular tissues, which in turn means more control of your voice, which in turn means more suitable performing. So those are the 2 various aspects of learning exactly how to sing, the exercise part as well as at that point the practical knowledge part.

How to Really Learn Guitar

By Harvey Vitti


The best way to learn guitar is up for debate. It seems like everybody is going to have a different opinion of it. If you have no idea where to start then read on for more insight. Beginner guitar players usually fall into the trap of doing nothing but reading tabs. They want to learn how to play their favorite songs quickly so they take the short cut of learning songs by looking up the sheet music for them.

It is indeed learning how to play guitar by ear. Think about it. Do you think the best sounding guitar players read tabs all day to sound that smooth with their instrument? Of course not. Great guitar players are different from average guitar players because they have mastered the skill of transcribing music which means to listen to music and then play what they hear on their guitar. This is the real way to learn. Forget about learning music theory and how it applies to the fretboard.

Of course if you want to learn how to read tabs in the beginning that is fine. There are countless resources where you can find guitar tabs for songs. But that does not make it the best way to learn guitar. Put it this way. If you spent all of your practice time looking up the guitar tabs for songs then you would not know how to learn songs just by listening to them. Great guitar players have the power to listen to a song they never heard before and then figure it out right away on guitar because they trained their ears.

Guitar players in the old days did not even have guitar tab booklets or even teachers to learn from. All they had was their guitars and music to listen to. So they had to start out from scratch. They had to learn the chords on their own just by spending all day learning by ear. So if you would like to become an adept guitar player I highly recommend learning by ear. Start training your ears by listening to music and playing along as best as you can.

Go ahead and learn how to read tabs. Learn the major and minor chords. You can even learn some basic guitar theory so that you have a good understanding of the fretboard. You have to get your fingers used to playing which takes a while. But after you get past the basics with the help of another guitar player or online guitar lessons you should start training your ears.

I see aspiring guitar players all the time ask what they should do to improve their playing. They simply get better by listening to music and then perfecting the skill of translating it on their guitar. My suggestion is to start out getting the basics down just like with anything else. Learn the chords, scales, and even some music theory. Take lessons or learn from online guitar courses. Just do what you have to do to get started. Then once your hands have adjusted to playing and you have a basic understanding of the fretboard you can start training your ears. Practice every day so you progress quickly.

Fairly Decent Headphones - Infrared Wireless Headphones Review

By Michael Simmons


The audio cable is plenty long for what I require, however I guess maybe it's a bit more insulated. The ear-cup covers the whole ear and doesn't sit on top of earlobes unlike a few of the other designs. General it's a great value for your money. Sound is more than adequate, great bass sound, comfortable but just a little heavy after more than an hour or so of listening. They have comparable quality of sound as your 10 dollar rf wireless headphones you purchase at Best Buy.

Mediocre infrared wireless headphones, and I suppose I was expecting just a little flatter/crisper sound. Nevertheless, if you simply want a set of comfy headphones that sound great, here it is.

I've got a large head.

If it's great, then it's great, and these rf wireless headphones are great.

It sounds like a radio on low volume. Fantastic bass output, which I like, as well as the general sound, is excellent. Overall if you're contemplating buying these do it now! I must use them with a rag of shirt on top of my head for padding since the excess weight of the headphones causes straps to cut into my scalp, really miserable. Delicate midrange sounds are often heard. The noise from the random parts of these headphones renders them useless. The Sony earcups don't swivel from right-to-left, but only up-and-down. The bass doesn't over power the mids or highs which is ideal for me. They're tough to fit these acoustic research wireless headphones in a bag and travel with. The sound reproduction is excellent and the headphones do precisely what they ought to. These have lasted for 100s hours to date and sound great. I've had these headphones for a month and love them. You should not be disappointed as I am not!

I needed headphones for work.

Anyway, the bass is horrible. Koss UR-20 Home HeadphonesSony MDR-XD200 Stereo Headphones it's great for it's cost. I am an audiophile but not as intense as other people and these just not have the things I would like. Needs more work, specifically for 20 bucks. For me it doesn't truly make a difference, as I'm going to be using them at home, however for others this may be something to consider.

Actors are needed to study for films, phase performs, tv, movement photos and commercials. Occasionally, the audition for your display might be much more demanding than auditioning for your phase, simply because, the display character should be fused together with your character.

There are significant differences between auditions for the stage and the screen, and the auditions must be handled differently. The motion picture script or screenplay will most likely be shorter with less dialog, while stage plays may more readily allow for projecting. It is the job of the actor to sell his services, by giving an interpretation that showcases her on-screen acting ability and her personality.

Pretty Decent Set Of Headphones - Wireless Headphones For Computer Review

By Caleb White


As the image shows, the muff that covers your ears is very large--not extremely fashionable, but this is exactly what I believe makes it work so nicely with hearing aids. Once you put these badboys on, all sound around you gets significantly lower. Nevertheless, they perform flawlessly, providing me superior low to higher frequency sound be it films or songs. Includes a silicone band and also hardwearing. I really like this Sony Headphones. For the money they do the job.

You pretty much only hear what you would like to hear, which is good. Being just too large, you'd warrant second-looks if you use them outside (in the pub or subway rides). Ya gotta expect some drawback with those prices. Also, I've noticed, with my pair, that in a low volume setting there is a bit of noise like there's bad connectivity in the wiring.

The additional long cord is useful especially for plugging right into a PC.

Sony products are generally reliable, but whoever created these must have been more cautious when choosing supplies. For the cost I'm happy with these wireless headphones for computer. I am not an audiophile or a sound board engineer, to me the quality of sound is excellent. So after a little considerable searching at Amazon and reading the reviews I selected these! Quite inexpensive and I'd probably be happy paying even $30-40 of these, but $20 is also fine with me.

The only real reason I do not give these a four to five star is due to the bass. So I have been meaning to get real headphones, such as these, for a long time now. I own more expensive Sony headphones and these ones are definately great for the cost paid. Notice these aren't meant for active use but for sitting or standing still and listening.

I'm keeping them just because I know I wont have them for very long. Bought this to use with my 5 string bass guitar, and this really is perfect for what I wanted, some static in some places whenever you move about but overall its good I really enjoyed these headphones. I had been really dreaming about better quality but for $25 you get what purchase. My spouse purchased me these headphones for Christmas not too long ago, and I need to say after a good bit of time invested together, I dispise them.

They have good sound, however it can only be appreciated in a peaceful atmosphere.

Simple listening, with tremendous long cord and adapting plug. They're really big, the speakers rival how big a lemon or small orange might look.

They do not pinch my ears so I can use it longer. I've read the product description and reviews; searched around for competition products.

Great Headphones - Wireless Headphones For Computer Review

By Victoria Patterson


I'd recommend considering not just the ear comfort when purchasing headphones but your head comfort too. I don't know why I was expecting more from a $20 set of headphones, however I did. Overall its a good deal, but I am not sure that I would ever buy these again. The noise-blocking ability is of course compromised by the somewhat free ear pads. You can see them on your head from space. I'd recommend 100% to get this if you only need some inexpensive and high quality headphones you can use Anytime.

The cord is super long which means you need to kind of tie up but it is good. The different options are $200 for better headphones. And also the mid-range is great; simply because that's Where the majority of the sound is! Fantastic sound, fantastic comfort and ease, extra long cord that hangs from one side that makes it much more tangle proof very light not heavy and covers whole ear. The diameter of the cord is very thick and the cord is extremely long; I believe 11 feet.

Not really a reason to not get it, but you have been warned. Highest frequencies are muddled. I purchased them based on some of the more technical reviews which were posted. I purchased them, and I think that for that price I paid, they are amazing cordless stereo headphones.

Extra long cord is a plus I am an university college student in an audio/video degree, they're fantastic, I bring them back and forth with me daily plus they are designed for alot of beating up. They are great headphones.

They are definitely the very best wireless mp3 head phones I've ever purchased! They're pretty comfortable, I'll admit, however they lack in the important quality I had been searching for -- quality of sound.

That is just blah for any kind of sound.

My Sennheiser HD201s are actually quite comfortable however these Sonys are better still. Bass will get loud and not distorted.

Got these for my buddy for Christmas because he continuously has headphones on for watching films and making his own movies, got these for him (a significant upgrade from what he was using), was happy once they arrived the mail. I had been a dedicated earbud user for several years, however I recently developed a mild situation of tinnitus and I learned that using in-ear gadgets was which makes it worse. I truly do enjoy them plus they are a lot better than the pair I acquired from JVC, which appeared to slip off at the slightest movement of my head. The quality of sound for gaming and songs (non-professional) and films can't be beat until you get upto the $250+ budget range! They are great for the cost.

How to teach yourself to sing

By Pamela C Smith


Is it possible to teach yourself to sing? According to many who have accomplished this feat, the answer is yes, you can. I myself was once one of those who tried to sing but could only produce off-key noises. I stayed away from chorus classes in high school, even though I really wanted to learn to sing. I just couldn't take the constant criticism I knew I would get. When I got older and decided to play the guitar, I knew that the time had come to teach myself how to sing along, and I did it. Now I actually play acoustic guitar and sing in coffee shops and small venues in the area. You can teach yourself to sing too.

I started by choosing a few of my favorite songs as exercises. I knew most of the words already, but I had to learn to play them on the guitar. Once I had them down, I began to try singing aloud through each song and being ruthless in my judgement of how I was doing. At the beginning, I was not doing so well.

I knew this because I recorded myself singing. I knew that one of the best ways to teach yourself to sing is to learn to listen. By listening to yourself on a recording you can find out which songs fit your voice, what types of melodies are a problem, and if you are improving your sense of pitch and being in tune. And of course you hear what listeners hear as well, not how you sound to yourself.

Being in tune is one of the most important elements of learning to teach yourself to sing. You just have to listen to your singing and try to imitate the original as closely as you can. It helps if you play an instrument, because it will be giving you the correct pitch for the song (if it's in tune). But if you just follow along and learn to imitate you'll improve in no time - you know what they say about practice making perfect.

Another way to teach yourself to sing is to sing along with tunes from your own collection of recordings, your mp3 playlists, from other playlists, or from an Internet or regular radio station. If you learn to listen to yourself and compare what your voice is doing to what the original singer is doing, you'll learn not only how to sing on key, but how to sing more expressively.

Singing in your car or in the shower are great ways to teach yourself to sing, but don't limit your efforts. You should try singing in different places and slowly grind down any inhibitions you may have about public singing. It's also fun - your voice will sound better in a hallway or space that adds some echo and depth. You also have to practice using your lungs to project your voice, like the classical singing you used to see on television. You don't have to have vibrato like Pavarotti, but if you learn to add strength and volume to your voice you'll sound better.

As a last step in teaching yourself to sing, you're going to have to get some public practice and feedback. The easiest way to do that is to join a community singing group or a church choir. You should be singing material that you enjoy, of course, but don't be afraid to check out different styles of singing to see if there is a good fit for your voice. Being around other singers is a great way to teach yourself to sing, because you are bound to improve with practice and good examples to follow.

American Idol Step 8 of 10 To Increase Your Chances Of Getting On The Show

By Dennis Duncan




Step 8 in increasing your chances of getting on any vocal reality show should be that you need to go out and play some gigs.

Once you have rehearsed on your own, then another thing you can do is start singing live at local establishments. Perform live as often as possible because you'll need all the practice you can get before auditioning at the regionals or moving on to the next round. You can perform at your local church, school, bar and/or local events. Singing and performing is like riding a bike; the more you do it the better you get.

So, don't be shy and definitely don't be afraid of going out and making mistakes. By making mistakes early you'll learn what NOT to do next time you perform. Plus, there are always technical difficulties when performing live. You'll never get used to dealing with technical difficulties but learning how to deal with them as they are happening is all part of becoming a professional. And, as humiliating as it may be, you may be performing in front of only a few people. But, go out and ask any artist if they've done the same humiliating gigs. Nine times out of ten they'll tell you some horror stories of their gigs. Get out there and start getting more comfortable performing in front of people. Remember, your eye is on the prize, Idol, and these performances leading up to the regionals or to the Hollywood week are ALL REHEARSALS for the next big step in your career. It's best to stick with what works if you want to know how to audition for American Idol in the best way.

Back in the day, when I was a kid and I didn't have much money, I would take shoestrings out of my shoes and tie them to a tennis racket and pretend that was my guitar. I would also tie a stick to a broom handle like it was a microphone, then prop up the broom handle and lip sync or sing to recordings. Yeah, cheesy, but that is what I did; mission accomplished. It's low budget and you can get it done the same as I. Necessity is the mother of invention, especially for me when I was growing up in Kentucky.

In our next article, Step 9, we will discuss overly animated hand gestures and awkward moves that so many newbies do. See you then...

For example, a booster can raise the amplitude of the audio signal in order to increase an instrument's volume.

Pitch modulation effects stand out as another type of effects processor. Much like in the case of telecommunication, the role of modulation would be to variate the waveform with a modulating signal. There are various devices which facilitate pitch modulation such as flangers, wah-wah pedals, phase shifters, chorus and pitch shifters.

Time-based guitar effects, known as delay effects, have been used by many famous musicians among which we can mention U2 with their magnificent rendition of Where The Streets Have No Name". Delay effects can alter the sound by adding echoes. This type of effects are usually included in guitar amps. However, they can also be purchased as external devices in the form of rack mount units or stomp boxes. Echo effects are very important to achieve the overall effect of a song. Initially, they were generated with the help of analogue tape loops. However, nowadays, the effects are produced using digital as well as modelling techniques.
