Important: for the purposes of counting how many notes in a chord, we do not count different octaves of a note as different notes. Beyond Triads: Adding a Fourth Note Triads are very common in many forms of classical music, folk, rock and pop but in jazz they are not often used, instead at least one other note is added, usually the 7th note of the scale (but sometimes the 6th), see below in example 1b. Why 6ths? A 6th is an alternative to the major 7th on chords I and IV. The 6th is the melody noteThe root is the melody note Diminished 7 chord N.B.

How To Master A Song In FL Studio Mastering is the final step in music production. It’s a process of improving the sound quality of your song (if possible and/or needed) with the aid of such tools as equalizer, compressor, limiter, stereo enhancer, etc. It’s also preparing a song for the proper medium. After mastering, your song should be ready to go public. Keep in mind that mastering goes hand-in-hand with mixing. Right kind of listening environment and good set of monitors are also essential in mastering so that you can properly hear what needs to be improved. Lot of producers and professionals say that mastering should be left to mastering engineers and that you shouldn’t master your songs by yourself if you don’t know what you’re doing. (As I mentioned already, I’m NOT a professional – I’m just an average hobbyist so what I’m writing here may NOT be the best practice. HOWEVER, (and I hope you didn’t got scared!)

Статья "Модульные синтезаторы" | Музыкальное Оборудование Дата первой публикации: фев 2009 50 лет в строю. Что такое модульный аналоговый синтезатор? Вопрос отнюдь не риторический, поскольку в какой-то степени именно такой аппарат можно считать родоначальником практически всех современных синтезаторов. Если быть точным, то непосредственным порождением модульных синтезаторов стали обычные аналоговые одноголосные, а затем и многоголосные инструменты. Бросив взгляд назад, можно обнаружить множество ранних электромузыкальных инструментов, оставивших глубокий след в истории. Да, это предки, но все же к ним в большей степени подходит определение "инструмент", а никак не "синтезатор", в силу тембрового однообразия создаваемых ими звуков, что, в общем, вполне соответствовало решаемой ими задаче. Истории известны находки иного рода. Настоящий прорыв в синтезаторостроении произошел только после изобретения транзисторов, которое и стало тем историческим рубежом, после которого начали появляться синтезаторы с уже привычной для нас архитектурой.
