10 Ideas for a far better Song

By Aaron B. Baker


In case you are getting ready to step into a studio to record, make certain you start thinking before you ever put foot near the microphone. While recording has allowed for new wonders and expectations to become met with music, there's still the need to do some old-fashioned needs to make sure that your songs count the extra track. Following are ten tips that one could remember to make sure you have the arrangement correct before beginning recording.

1.Balance. Will be your instrumentation balanced? You should have an even amount of ranges, from low to high. For those who have too much of one and not an adequate amount of another, your recording may not sound so great.

2.Harmonies. You would like to make sure that there is some good support starting the melody of your song. Without the right harmonies, or alternative sounds on the melody, it will sound like your song is missing a bit of the puzzle.

3.Musical arrangement. This can be based completely around the power to organize the instrumentation in the song. Not only should it be balanced, but it also need to include contrasts and similarities in how a music follows what you are trying to say. If you are stuck with creating instrumentation which fits, get into some basic theory concepts to help you out.

4.Spacing. More important than all of the melodies and harmonies, is the room that you put in between each. This means that ensure rush through your song so you don't want to take too much time. Just be sure you give some breaks with melodies and change up the harmonies enough to keep it intriguing, notable and moving correctly.

5.Tempo. Often times, it is assumed that there is a specific tempo and that's it. However, you want to ensure your tempos are defined and everyone follows them without missing a beat. Once you get into the studio, you wouldn't want anything to be off by the second, as it will cause film to become difficult to lay down.

6.Form. The simplest way for a listener to relate to your song from the beginning would be to have the right form. In case you are focused on lyrics, this will be the hook utilized during the chorus. If you are trying out form, make sure there is always an area in the music that extends back and keeps the attention of the listener so that they can relate to the background music.

7.Variety. One of the overlooked parts of arranging is the variety that's in the song. This means that, while you are repeating choruses or verses, just be sure you have some different movement or instrumentation within your recording.

8.Movement. The movement from the song goes beyond the tempo and to the extra small things that one does with a recording. This is what can make or break a song. Items like louds and softs, ornamentation and other small addons will help to move the song in the right way.

9.Consistency. Along with the selection of the song should be a specific consistency that lets the song fit together. This partly is related to the form of the song plus links to things such as tying the song alongside the right lyrics and musical concepts. Within each one of these areas, you can have some variation, but ensure that the frame work allows the listener to check out what you are doing.

10.Creativity. Obviously, this should never be left behind. Often are musical ideas which might be heard that are close to the fact that was heard before. The first rule to some good song is always to let yourself go, follow your creativity also to let the rest fall into place.

Using these simple tricks are ways that you can improve your song and get it recording ready. From this, you will be able to make sure that your songs bobs are polished, stand out from the group and get your voice heard among other musicians.
