FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the composing of musical compositions, and more particularly relates to a method and system for composing lyrics and melodies.
THE PRIOR ART Music presently has a substantial influence upon our civilization, as it is constantly listened to by people at work, play or during relaxation. Sales of musical instruments. recording devices. tapes and records are booming. as the present highly mechanized world and the resulting reduced work week have significantly increased the time in which people spend in either playing music, istening to music or composing music. As this trend of Increased music appreciation has developed, the urge for creating music has grown significantly. However, many people have not had the training or experience in hich to satisfy he urge to create musical compositions. Thus. a need has arisen for a technique to allow a untrained person to create technically correct music t uctured properly in both melody and lyrics. thereby satisfying the creative urge of the person and at the \IIFHC? time developing a music structuring awareness hat may be retained by the person.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, a method ard system are presented which fulfills the needs noted above in allowing an untrained person to originate and record musical compositions with both melody and lyr ics which are aesthetically acceptable and technically correct in form. In addition. the present technique allows the user to combine original melody or lyric phases with the composition composed according to the present technique.
ln accordance with a more specific aspect of the inwntion. a system is provided for composing a lyric or melody composition which includes a device for storing a series ofdifferent lyric or melody phrases and including circuitry for playing back selected ones of the lyric or melody phrases. Apparatus is provided to record the elected sequence oflyric or melody phrases to provide a unitary lyrical or musical composition.
In a more specific aspect of the invention. an elec tronic system is provided for composing songs which includes a first magnetic recording and playback device having a series of different lyric phrases stored thereon. A second magnetic recording and playback device has a series of different melody phrases stored thereon. A console is provided with switches for selecting desired ones of the l\ rie and melody phrases stored on the first and second magnetic devices. (ircuitry is responsive to the setting of the svt itches for operation ofthe playback dcx iCCS to playback selected ones of the lyric and mel ody phrases. The selected lyric and melody phrases are then mixed and are recorded on a third magnetic recording and playback device under the control of a switch on the console. in order to provide a unitary song made up ol the mixed lyric and melody phrases.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a more complete understanding of the present invention and for further objects and advantages thereof, reference is now made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. I is a block diagram of the preferred embodi merit of the present system;
FIGS. 2-5 illustrate typical sets of two bar melodies which are sequentially stored on the melody cassette shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 6-8 disclose three different possible combinations of various ones of the two bar melodies shown in FIGS. 2-5 in order to provide a unitary eight bar melody; and
FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of the lyric control logic shown in FIG. 1;
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of the preferred embodiment of the invention. The system includes a first playback and recording magnetic tape storage or cassette unit 10 which comprises any suitable conventional playback and recording device in which tape cassettes or reels may be inserted. played or recorded upon. and detached. Cassette 10 is adapted to receive a magnetic tape cassette on which a series of different lyric phrases have been prerecorded. In the preferred embodiment, these lyric phrases are subdivided into In different groups. with each lyric phrase being of length to be matched with a two bar melody phrase As will be subsequently described in detail. in the preferred embodiment; the lyric phrases are separated by coded tone signals identifying a location address of the lyric phrases to enable automatic selection and playing of the lyric phrases with the present system. The playback and record functions of the cassette II] are controlled by cassette control logic 12 which is operated in response to the depression of a lyric off/on switch I4, a lyric select switch 16 and a rewind switch I8. A lyric lamp 20 is illuminated during operation of the device in a manner to be subsequently described. Two rotary select switches 22 and 24 are also mounted on the face of a console panel 26 which houses the electronic circuitry. the cassettes. the microphone and speakers of the illustrated system.
A second playback and recording storage or cassette unit 28 is included in the system and is of the same type as the previously described cassette unit [0. Cassette unit 28 is adapted to receive a magnetic tape cassette having a series of different two bar melody phrases serially recorded thereon. As in the same manner as the lyric phrases. the melody phrases are arranged in the preferred embodiment in sixteen groups or sets and are separated by coded tone signals identifying I location address of the melody phrases The playback an re cord functions of the cassette 28 are cont .t-ti m he cassette control logic 30 which operates midi-i he control ofa melody off/on switch 32. a melody phrase select switch 34 and a melody phrase rewind switch 36. A melody lamp 38 is energized during operation of the system. Rotary switches 22 and 24 are utilized to select the desired melody phrase from the niuralitt of melody phrases recorded on the cassette 28.
The audio output from each of the cassettes and 28 are directed to a mixer circuit 40 which mixes the lyric and melody phrases and directs the mixed audio signals through an audio output 42 to a preview-record switch 44. The audio output 42 will normally comprise a driver amplifier. The switch 44 is controlled by operation of a preview pushbutton switch 46 and by a pushbutton record switch 48 located on the front panel 26 of the console unit. Depression of the button 46 causes the switch 44 to be switched to the illustrated position in order to connect the audio output with the input of a speaker 50 so that the mixed audio signals will be played back to the operator. Depression of the record pushbutton switch 48 will cause the switch 44 to be switched to the input of an audio to record circuit 52 which directs the audio signals to a third magnetic recording and playback cassette unit 54, such that the mixed lyric and melody phrases are recorded on cassette 54.
A play pushbutton switch 56 and a rewind pushbutton switch 58 are located on the control panel 26 in order to control through control logic 60, the operation of the cassette 54. Depression of the record pushbutton switch 48 causes the cassette 54 to record the mixed audio signals. Depression of the play pushbutton switch 56 causes the signals recorded upon the cassette 54 to be played back through a playback audio circuit 62 to the audio output 42 and to the speaker 50. The playback audio circuit 62 will normally comprise a magnetic preamp or the like.
in addition to the circuitry for selecting ones of the lyric and melody phrases stored on cassettes 10 and 28, a microphone input 64 is provided, along with an off/on switch 66 connected to the mixer 40. The user may use the input 64 to record original lyrics or melodies with the prerecorded phrases.
In operation of the system shown in FIG. 1, the user first sets the rotary switch 22 at the number 1 position and then rotates the rotary switch 24 to the desired letter corresponding with the selected first lyric phrase. In the preferred embodiment, sixteen groups each having 23 different lyric phrases are recorded upon the eassette 10. Of course. the number of phrases may be varied for differnt applications. These lyric phrases may be printed upon a printed sheet and the user may select the first lyric phrase from the sheet. if desired. If this is not desired, the user may listen to each of the lyric phrases by selective rotation of the switch 24 to each of the 23 different positions.
When the switches 22 and 24 are set to the desired position. the lyric off/on switch 14 is depressed to ener gize the lyric system and then the select switch 16 is depressed. The control logic 12 will then cause the eassette it) to advance the magnetic recording tape until the desired lyric phrase is positioned in front of the playback head. At this time, the movement of the tape will be stopped and the lyric lamp will be illuminated to indicate to the user that the desired phrase is available for playback. The user may then depress the preview button 46 and the desired lyric phrase will be played from the cassette 10, applied through the mixer 40 and the audio output 42 and audibly reproduced by the speaker 50. If this lyric suits the user. the user can then depress the rewind button 18 and the magnetic tape will be reversed in the cassette 10 to a position to again play the selected lyric phrase when desired. if the user is not satisfied with this lyric phrase. the user may move the selector switch 24 to another position and repeat the above-noted procedure.
The user at this time is now ready to select a melody phrase to match with the selected lyric phrase. The off- /on switch 14 is placed in the off position. The rotary switch 22 is left in the first position and the rotary switch 24 is moved to the desired position. The melody phrases in the first group are chosen to be compatible in meter and recording time length with the lyric phrases in the first group.
The off/on button 32 is then depressed to energize the melody selection system. The select button 34 is depressed and the control logic 30 operates the cassette 28 to advance the magnetic tape to a position just in advance of the desired melody phrase. as determined by the setting of the switches 22 and 24. When reaching this point, the tape is stopped and the melody lamp 38 is illuminated. The user may then depress the preview button 46 and the cassette 28 plays back the selected melody phrase through the mixer 40 and through the audio output 42 to the speaker 50 so that the user can hear the selected melody phrase. If the user is satisfied, the rewind button 36 is depressed and the magnetic tape is rewound in the cassette 28 to a position just in advance of the selected melody phrase.
The user may then again depress the off/on button 14, such that both the lyric and melody cassettes are energized. The record button 48 is then depressed and both cassettes 10 and 28 are energized to play back the selected lyric phrase and the selected melody phrase to the mixer 40. The two audio outputs are mixed by the mixer 40 and are applied through the audio output 42 and through the audio to record 52 for recording on the cassette 54. Alternatively, if the user desires to preview the combined lyric and melody prior to recording, the preview button 46 is depressed and the combined output is broadcast through the speaker 50. After recording of the mixed lyric and melody phrases, the recorded output may be played back by depression of the play button 56, upon which the audio signals recorded on the cassette 54 are played back through the playback audio 62 and the audio output 42 to the speaker 50. After playing back of the recorded phrases, the cassette 54 may be rewound by operation of the rewind button 58.
After the first lyric and melody phrases have been selected and combined as previously noted, the user then rotates the rotary switch 22 to the second position. This selects a different set of lyric and melody phrases which are particularly adapted for combination with one another and for following the phrases selected from group i. The procedure enumerated above is then repeated by the user until a second set of lyric and melody phrases have been selected and recorded on the cassette S4. The rotary switch 22 is then moved to position three and the procedure repeated. The procedure is repeated throughout all 16 positions of switch 22, until 16 two bar lyric and melody phrases have been sequentially stored on the cassette 54 to provide a complete 32-bar song. The song may then be played back from the cassette 54 by first rewinding the cassette 54 by operation of the button 58 and then by depression of the play button 56. The user may then remove the magnetic tape cassette stored in the cassette 54, may record another song at the end of the just completed song, or may erase the first song by recording another song over It.
In addition, the user may record his own lyrics, melody or harmony by turning off either or both of the prerecorded lyrics and melody circuits by depressing the appropriate off/on switches 14 or 32 and by attaching a microphone to the microphone input 64.
As previously noted in the preferred embodiments, 16 groups each having 23 different lyric and melody phrases are recorded upon the cassettes and 28. The lyric phrases in the first group are adapted to be combined with the melody phrases in the first group, and also the lyric phrases in the first group are adapted to preceed the lyric phrases in the second group. While it will be understood that more or less than 368 lyric phrases may be recorded on a tape for use with the invention, and also that a wide variety of different lyric content and styles may be utilized, the following is a typical listing of portions of contemporary lyric phrases for use with the invention:
Only a portion of the full 368 lyric phrases are included in Table l for illustration purposes. However, a large number of acceptable combinations of lyrics from the various groups is possible. As noted previously, any one of the 23 lyric phrases in Group I may be utilized prior to any one of the 23 lyric phrases in Group 2. Similarly, any one of the 23 lyric phrases in Group 2 may be used in front of any of the lyrics in Group 3, and so on. The following Table ll lists a portion of the acceptable lyric phrase combinations which may be provided from the lyric phrases set forth in Table I:
TABLE I Group I IA I am very happy 18 l am very lonely lC Moonlight on the wildwood Group 2 2A When you are near to me 28 So happy I could cry 30 2C And skies are blue above 20 When we are far apart 25 And you are far away 2F Now that youve gone from the 2G The skies are bright above 2H So peaceful is the night 2| Beside a rippling stream Group 3 3A Oh, so very happy 38 You make me so happy 3C I am very lonely 3D I am sad and lonely 35 Oh, so very lonely 3F Thinking of you only 30 Twilight in the wildwood 3H Thinking Of my childhood 3| Thinking of my darling Group 4 4A Because you're here with me 43 For you're so dear to me 4C This night is ecstasy 40 And your're the reason why 4E A dream is drifting by 4F This night was made for love 4G This time I know its love 4H Youre all I'm dreaming of 4| I feel the teardrops start 41 Why did you break my heart 4K The skies are dark and grey 4L Come back to me. I pray 4M You're just one star away 4N How blue this world can be 40 Dark clouds are all I see 4P My heart's in misery 40 And you with me to love 4R The night is filled with love 48 Sweet memories I love 41' And heaven is in sight 4U Two arms to hold me tight 4V And everything feels right 4W I'm drifting on a dream 4X How near the heavens seem For example, lyric phrase 1A I am very happy may be combined with the lyric 2A when you are near to me, as listed in Table l. Alternatively, lyric phrases 1A, 2B and 3A may be combined to provide the lyric I am very happy, so happy I could cry, you make me so happy." As shown in Table ll, an extremely wide selection of different lyrics is provided by the use of the present invention. Of course, it will be understood that different cassettes for use with the invention would contain different types of lyric phrases, including contemporary, country and western, ballads and the like.
FIGS. 2-8 assist in understanding the combination of the melody phrases prerecorded on cassette 28 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 2 illustrates three two-bar melody phrases entitled IA, 13 and ll. The remaining 20 melody phrases in Group I are omitted for clarity of illustration. FIG. 3 illustrates three two-bar melody phrases from Group 2, i.e.. 2G. 2.! and 2N. FIG. 4 illustrates three melody phrases from Group 3, i.e 3A. 3B and 3C. FIG 5 illustrates three melody phrases out of 23 melody phrases from Group 4. i.e. 4A. 4B and 4C. As may be seen, each of the two-bar melody phrases shown in FIGS. 2-5 is different. The melody phrases shown In FIG. 2 are compatible for mixing with the lyric phrases in Group 1 shown in Table I. and are also compatible for preceding the melody phrases of FIG. 3. Likewise. the melody phrases shown in FIG. 3 are compatible with the lyric phrases of Group 2 as shown in FIG. 2. and so on for FIGS. 4 and 5.
As previously noted, in the operation of the system, a large number of combinations of melody phrases shown in FIGS. 2-5 is possible. FIGS. 68 illustrate three possible combinations which provide unitary full eight measure phrases. For example. FIG. 6 illustrates the combination of melody phrases IA 26 3A 48, previously shown in FIGS. 2-5. Similarly, FIG. 7 illustrates the combination of melody phrases 1H 2.] 38 4A. FIG. 8 illustrates the combination of melody phrases II 2N 3C 4C. Other combinations of melody phrases will. of course. be possible.
FIG. 9 illustrates a schematic diagram of the logic control circuitry for the lyric selection portion of the circuit. The logic control circuitry for the melody selection portion of the system is identical to the lyric logic control. and therefore is omitted for clarity of illustration. Like numerals will be utilized for like and corre sponding parts in the various drawings.
The lyric cassette device 10 includes three input lines including rewind, play forward and stop and also includes an audio output line. The audio output is applied to a serial-to-parallel convertor 80 and to a tone detector 82. In addition. the audio output from the cassette I0 is applied to the mixer 40 in the manner shown in FIG. I. The output of the serial-to-parallel convertor 80 is applied to a comparator 84 for comparing with the outputs provided by the rotary switches 22 and 24 previously described in FIG. 1. Rotary switch 22 is connected through the off/on switch 14 to a number ID register 86. Thus. if the off/on switch 14 is depressed to the on position, the position of the switch 22 causes a digital indication of the switch to be loaded into the register 86. Sixteen different digital indications will thus be generated by the switch 22 to correspond with the l6 switch positions.
The output of the rotary switch 24 is connected through the off/on switch 14 (FIG. 1) to the letter ID register 88, wherein any one of 23 digital representations of the position switch 24 may be stored. Switch 14 is .1 two stage switch to control both the outputs of the rotary switches 22 and 24, and is diagrammatically illustrated in FIG. 9. The output of register 86 and register 88 are applied to the comparator 84. which compares the parallel digital outputs of the registers with the parallel output of the converter 80.
The output of the comparator 84 is applied to an input of an -\\'D gate 90. the output ofwhich is applied I .m R gate 92. The output of the OR gate 92 oper ate- I. control the stop function ofthe cassette I0. The output of the AND gate 90 is also applied via lead 94 to control the energization of the lyric light lamp 20. The second input of the gate 90 is applied from the lyric select pushbutton switch 16 (FIG. II.
The tone detector 82 contains three liltcr stages for dtttcting three possible different tones \rnnrcs'sed limtween the lyric phrase on the magnetic tape in cassette Ill. The start tonc tSTI when detected by the detector 8.? create a logic level on lead 96 which is applied to an input of an AND gate 98 and is applied through an invertor I00 to an input of an AND gate 102. The end tone (ET) applies a logic level via lead 104 to an input of an AND gate I06 and through an invertor 108 to an input of an AND gate 110. The end of tape signal (END TAPE) creates a logic level from the detector 82 on lead 114 which is applied to an input of an AND gate I16.
The output of the comparator 84 is also applied through an invertor 118 to an input of an AND gate 120. The output from the lyric select button 16 is also applied to an input of gate 120 and to an input of gate 116. The output of the preview switch 46 (FIG. I) is applied to an input of gate 106 and to an input of gate 110. A state of operation of the record switch 48 is also applied to the input of gates I06 and 110.
The outputs of gates 90, I06 and 98 are applied as the inputs to the OR gate 92. The outputs of gates I10 and 120 are applied through an OR gate 126 which provides the play forward control signal to the cassette 10. The outputs of gates I02 and 116 are applied through an OR gate I28 which generates the rewind control signal applied to the cassette 110.
As previously noted, coded tone signals are prerecorded on the magnetic tapes used in cassette units 10 and 28 in order to allow identification of the location of each of the phrases recorded on the tape. Specifically. in front of each lyric phrase and melody phrase on the magnetic tape. a prerecorded identification digital tone signal is impressed, followed by the start tone (ST). Immediately after each lyric and melody phrase. the end tone (ET, is impressed. Moreover. at the very end of each of the magnetic tapes. an END TAPE tone is impressed. The three ST, ET and END TAPE tones are of different frequencies. and are preferably above the audio range so that they are not duplicated by tones found in any of the prerecorded lyric or melody phrases. The identification coded digital signals are different for each phrase, and correspond to ones of the output codes from the rotary switches 22 and 24. For example. the identification tone signals may comprise frequency shift key (FSK) tone signals.
In operation of the system, in order to preview a selected lyric phrase. the off/on button switch I4 is depressed to energize the lyric control logic circuitry. The rotary switches 22 and 24 are then positioned as previously indicated to the desired position. For example. assume that the rotary switch 22 is positioned at the position I. while the rotary switch 24 is positioned at number D. A digital code representative of the position 1 is loaded into register 86, while a digital code representative of number D is loaded into register 88.
The lyric select button I6 is then depressed. and as the comparator 84 at this time does not detect a matching digital code from the output of convertor 80, gate 120 operates through OR gate I26 in order to generate a play forward signal to the cassette 10. The cassette l0 ")tiglnS to play back the prerecorded lyric phrases. The resulting audio signals are applied sequentially to the serial-to-parallel convertor which is tuned to detect only the prerecorded ID tones located prior to each lyric phrase. When the convertor 80 applies the same identification code to the comparator 84 as is provided by .cglstci' 56 and 825. th. lfdt'kllul 84 generates a logic level indication to gate 90 which operates through OR gate 92 in order to generate a stop signal. The cassette 10 then stops just in front of the desired lyric phrase as chosen by the setting of switches 22 and 24.
if it is now desired to preview or to record the selected lyric phrase, either the preview switch 46 or record switch 48 is depressed, thereby generating an indication to gate 110. The tone detector 82 does not detect the presence of the ET signal at this time and this logic level is applied through invertor 108 to provide an fi signal to provide through AND gate 110 and OR gate 126 a play forward signal to the cassette [0. The cassette 10 then plays forward over the duration of the selected lyric phrase and the audio lyric phrase is provided to the mixer 40 in the manner previously illustrated so that the user can hear the selected phrase via the speaker 50 or the selected lyric phrase may be recorded on the cassette 54.
After the lyric phrase is played by cassette 10, the tone detector 82 detects the occurrence of the ET signal and applies a logic level to gate 106 which also receives an energization level signal from either the preview switch 46 or the record switch 48. Consequently, gate 106 applies through the OR gate 92 a stop signal to the cassette l and the cassette stops the playback at that point.
At this time, the user may operate the lyric select switch 16 to select a different lyric phrase, if desired. Alternatively, if the user desires to either record the selected lyric phrase or to save the lyric phrase for mixing with a selected melody, the user may depress the re wind switch 18 which generates a logic level to gate 102. This logic level is combined at the input of gate 102 with an indication from the detector 82 that the ST tone is not present, which is applied through the invertor 100 to provide an ST signal to gate 102. Consequently, a signal is generated via gates [02 and 128 to rewind the cassette 10. This rewinding continues until the tone detector 82 detects the occurrence of the ST signal indicating the start of the selected lyric phrase. An indication is thus provided by the detector 82 via lead 96 to gate 98 which is coupled with a logic input from the rewind switch 18. Consequently, a stop signal is applied from the output of the OR gate 92 in order to stop the rewinding operation in front of the selected lyric phrase. The lyric phrase may then be replayed whenever it is desired.
During operation of the lyric select switch 16 to search for the desired lyric phrase corresponding to the positions of switches 22 and 24, the cassette in some cases may play to the end of the tape without finding the selected lyric phrase. if this occurs, the tone detector 82 detects the third END TAPE tone signal and generates an indication via lead 114 to gate 116. This logic indication to 116 is combined with an indication of the depression of lyric select switch 16, and thus a rewind signal is generated from gate 128 and the cassette is completely rewound automatically. Search for the selected lyric phrase is then continued.
After the selected lyric phrase has been positioned for mixing and recording as previously described, the off/on switch 14 may be depressed to deenergize the lyric select system and a melody phrase selected. As previously described, the selection of the melody select corresponds with the selection of the lyric phrase, with the exception that the off/on button 32 is depressed to energize the melody selection circuitry and the melody select button 34 and the rewind switch 36 are operated. The circuitry for control of the cassette 28 is identical to the logic control circuitry shown in FIG. 9 with respect to the lyric select, and it is thus not described in detail.
After the melody phrase has been selected, the off/on switch 14 is depressed to energize both the cassettes 10 and 28. The record switch 48 may then be depressed so that the selected lyric and melody phrases are simultaneously played back to the mixer 40, whereupon the phrases are mixed and recorded on the cassette 54 as previously described.
The present system thus enables an amateur musician to originate and record a music composition with both melody and lyrics which are aesthetically acceptable and technically correct in form. The product is relatively inexpensive, self contained and operable completely under the control of the user. A prerecorded cassette is utilized to provide lyric and melody phrases, and may be utilized to provide a complete 32 bar music piece in any given style such as folk songs, contemporary, country and western, rhythm and blues or the like. If desired, a microphone is provided to enable the integration of the user's personally originated melody and- [or lyrics if he so desires.
Although the present invention has been illustrated with a particular logic circuitry and circuit control based upon prerecorded tones on the magnetic tape, it will be understood that other types of control circuitry could be utilized with the invention, such as counter circuitry for counting the time interval between prerecorded phrases. In addition, automatic features may be added to the present invention in order that the system will automatically rewind to the start of the selected phrase after preview, rather than requiring manual operation of a rewind button.
After recording of the original composition on the cassette 54, the tape cassette may be removed and sent to a central service which may then provide a hard copy of the selected musical composition. Alternatively, the user could send a list of the selected lyric and melody phrases to the central location, which would then provide the appropriate phrases and melody and the sheet form to the user. Alternatively, blank music composition paper could be provided with the device, along with a supply of punch-outs of the various lyric and melody phrases which could be compiled after completion of the song.
Whereas the present invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments thereof, it will be understood that various changes and modifications will be suggested to one skilled in the art, and it is intended to encompass such changes and modifications as fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Another question I've often been asked is "What do you need for a Home Studio?" In this post I will list the 5 essential items that are the foundation of any home music studio.
Keep in mind that my focus here is to list the basic building blocks of equipment. Your budget will ultimately tell you how much money to spend and exactly what gear you should buy.
I will however, list my suggestions for affordable equipment that performs well in these 5 essential areas. I will also share why I feel each is a good option for the home music studio.
What do you need for a home studio to record? I've touched on this topic in a previous post here. There are two main types of recorders. One being a stand-alone unit. The other involves the use of recording software and a computer. This last type of recording is known as a DAW or digital audio workstation.
My personal preference is to go the DAW rout. In the end, using a computer to record will open up far more options than a stand-alone unit would. You can always upgrade your software to get more features as your experience, needs, and budget grows.
Also, many people who set out to build their own home music studio already have some type of computer to work with. The faster the computer the more tracks and effects you will be able to do at one time. That said, most relatively new computers can run recording software fairly well.
My number one pick for an affordable, yet powerful DAW is a program called Reaper (thanks JW for this tip). There are many other great options for recording on a computer, but Reaper is only $60.00. It also comes with a healthy amount of effect plug-ins. What Reaper provides is very hard to find for less than $60.00. You can download a fully functional demo and check it out for yourself here.
An Audio interface
The next piece of equipment you need when recording with a computer is an external audio interface. Most computers do have an internal sound card that will work to a limited degree. However, if you intend on recording more than one track and listening to them in real-time, as well as using a microphone or instrument, than you will need an external audio interface.
What this external interface provides is the physical mic/line inputs to plug your microphone or instrument into. It then takes that signal and converts it to a digital feed that your DAW then records.
What do you need for a home studio audio interface? There simply isn't one magic bullet here. There are many great audio interfaces available today that even come with DAW software. Again, your budget and needs will decide which one is best for you.
To help point in the right direction let me give you a few considerations and a few possible options. First, most audio interfaces have 1 of 2 ways to connect to your computer. Either by a USB port or a Firewire port. Though some other techy's may disagree with me here, now a days either port will work just as good. The question is, what free port does your computer have?
The next question you need to ask is "How many tracks or channels do I intent to record at one time?" Every external audio interface is going to allow you to record at least 2 tracks. You need to know if that is enough. If you only intend to record your voice and one instrument then 2 tracks at one time will probably work just fine.
Here are a few suggestions out of the many great audio interfaces available today. I've included the affiliate links to each so know that if you do purchase any of these, a portion of your sale will go back into Home Music Studio 1.
Get everything you need to compose, record, edit, and mix professional-quality music with the Pro Tools MP + Fast Track Pro studio bundle.
The FireStudio Project is a premium computer recording interface combining 8 Class A XMAX mic preamps, 24-bit/96kHz audio resolution, a zero-latency matrix DSP router/mixer, and Studio One Artist software.
This may seem obvious as we answer, "what do you need for a home studio?" However, choosing the right mic is a major factor in how much recording you can actually do. The reality is you need more than one mic for versatility but you do need to start somewhere.
The most popular option for a home studio recording mic is called a large diaphragm condenser. This type of microphone works great for voice overs, vocals, acoustic instruments, and even many guitar amps.
I won't spend too much time on this one as I've covered my suggestions for an affordable, quality Studio Condenser Mic here.
What do you need for a home studio monitoring setup? I have included 2 possible options here. Though one or the other would work, getting both a set of Studio Monitors and Studio headphones would be ideal. Yet having at least one is needed for a basic home music studio setup.
Let me first explain the difference between monitoring speakers/headphones and standard speakers/headphones. Speakers are designed to reproduce sound ranging from high to low frequencies. Part of how that sound is created comes from the cabinet design and the speaker itself.
Monitoring speakers/headphones are designed to reproduce these frequencies as evenly as possible by not boosting one range above another. Standard speakers are often designed to accent one frequency above another such as a bass boost. Although this may provide a better listening experience, it is not ideal for the home music studio.
If you mixed and equalized your tracks using a standard set of headphones or computer speakers, your final project may not be very accurate. It would most likely be mixed on the light side where your headphones/speakers boosted the frequency. In other words, a set of headphones with bass boost would cause you to hear more bass. You would most likely mix less bass guitar than is needed in your final project.
Below I have listed the studio monitor and headphones I personally use in my own home music studio.
Behringer makes TRUTH B2031A Reference Monitors to speak nothing but the TRUTH. When it comes to your studio recordings, you want honesty. In fact, considering how important your art is, you should demand it!
The Sennheiser HD280 PRO Closed-Back Headphones are circumaural headphones designed for professional monitoring applications. With up to 32dB external sound attenuation, it's perfect for use in noisy environments, at live shows, and by DJ mixers!
What do you need for a home studio in regards to a keyboard? The abbreviation MIDI, stands for musical instrument digital interface. It is essentially a way for your digital piano/keyboard to talk to your computer directly. Having a keyboard with MIDI can be a huge time saver when it comes to building drum, synth, sequencing, and keyboard tracks.
Most digital audio workstations have the advantage of using virtual instruments and sounds for recording. Now days these sounds can be extremely realistic and very difficult to distinguish from their real life counter parts. For instance, an entire drum part can be built without ever playing one single acoustic drum. All using a virtual instrument like Addictive Drums.
Your keyboard with MIDI "out" can be plugged into your DAW with a MIDI "in." Using this setup, when you play a note on your keyboard it actually triggers the sound on your computer. Those triggered sounds can then be recorded as digital data. This gives the option of changing the sound, tempo, and notes even after the original track has been recorded.
Using MIDI also allows you to build a track step by step without having to play it in real-time. This can be helpful if you are programming drums where looping the same pattern over again is needed. Having a MIDI controller will also give you a much faster and more effective way to program an entire sequencing track of virtual instruments.
Your MIDI enabled keyboard does not need to have great or even good sounds built into its memory banks. You're simply using it to trigger the internal sounds from your DAW's virtual instruments, sequencers, and other plug-ins.
Regarding what digital keyboard/MIDI controller you should buy, ask yourself what type of sounds you intend to be producing. You can build a lot of tracks using a very inexpensive keyboard with MIDI out. This purchase really comes down to personal preference.
I am a piano player and my personal preference is to have a keyboard with MIDI out that feels as close to a piano as I can find. For this reason I use a Korg SP170s 88-Key Digital Piano, Black It has full 88 weighted keys and a MIDI out.
You may find yourself not needing something full size or that has weighted keys. There are many other options. Here is great MIDI controller you may find a bit more affordable.
You'll love the way the M-Audio Keystation 61es USB MIDI Controller responds to your touch. 61-note USB keyboard with velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted keys and plug-and-play integration into any computer recording setup. Features pitch bend and modulation wheels, volume/control slider, and advanced-function button for programming sustain footpedal input.
So what do you need for a home studio? The 6 things I've listed will get you started. In my opinion, getting started is the key. Maybe you even have pieces of this equipment already? If so what else from this list do you need to add in order to have the basics?
My hope is that you've found this post to be helpful. What are your thoughts? Please add them to the comments section below.

|Dimensions||Width||946 mm (37-1/4″)|
|Height||139 mm (5-1/2″)|
|Depth||404 mm (15-15/16”)|
Does the Yamaha PSR E463 have weighted keys?
The PSR E463 is the direct successor to the Yamaha PSR E453, sharing many of its features. Both keyboards share the same sound engine, same DSP (with 3 more reverberations in PSR E463), their speakers have the same power, and its 61 keys have velocity sensitivity (not weight, which is different).
Is Yamaha or Roland better?
One very desirable feature that the Roland does have over the Yamaha in this case, however, is the upright build. However, overall, the Yamaha is a better option as this piano is a ideal for intermediate or advanced pianists, and can go with the student from his or her intermediate period into the advanced stage.
What’s better Yamaha or Casio keyboard?
Generally speaking, they both have their pros and cons. Casio tends to offer cheaper products with a good level of features and lots of sounds. Yamaha offers more choice, more products and also an exceptional sound when it comes to digital piano sampling, in their high-end models, at least.
Is Yamaha PSR e463 good?
5.0 out of 5 stars Great keyboard worth the price! You can tell this is a well made keyboard, the sound quality is great and it can get really loud. The voices are realistic and it is touch sensitive, I would definitely recommend this keyboard and its definitely worth the price.

Groove Creator – Make music like a DJ You can perform the latest music styles from the keyboard like a DJ – lay down a beat, tweak the groove, adjust the mix and get the dance party started! In addition to western EDM sounds, Groove Creator supports contemporary dance music from around the world!
Is Yamaha PSR-E463 good for beginners?
The same as Yamaha EZ-220, YAMAHA PSR-E463 is a best piano for beginners. Of course, YAMAHA PSR-E463 is a best piano for beginners so it has an extensive audio library with instruments from around the world, 235 accompaniment that automatically responds to your chords, or a range of current Western dance music grooves.
How good is Yamaha PSR-E463?
What is better than Yamaha P45?
First of all, the P125 has an improved sound engine, featuring the Yamaha CFIIIS concert grand piano sampling. There is also a much higher polyphony on the P125–195 notes are able to sound at once before notes start ‘dropping,’ compared to 42 on the P45, resulting in a richer, more resonant sound.
Is the Yamaha psr9000 still in production?
At the Winter NAMM 2000, Yamaha introduced the PSR9000, their new flagship arranger keyboard. Yamaha no longer produces the PSR9000, but this keyboards had some wonderful styles.
Which is the best version of the Yamaha PSR?
There are different Yamaha PSR versions, which are PSR-S770, PSR-S670, PSR-A2000 and PSR-S970. The Yamaha PSR-S970 is an upgraded version of PSR-S950. This upgrade comes with huge benefits that will make you mind blown. Hear me out. I would highly recommend Yamaha PSR-S970 as the best performing arranger workstation digital piano of Yamaha.
Can you convert Tyros styles to Yamaha PSR-9000?
Conversions were done from original Tyros Styles using the excellent Free MidiPlayer program by Michael Bedesem. This program deletes the OTS (One Touch Settings) from the Tyros Styles which the 9K’s won’t accept. The only other change is the styles volumes have been increased by 10% to 12% to play better on the 9K’s.
What kind of bass does a PSR 9000 have?
Generally, the 9000 styles will have a relatively heavy bass when loaded on later PSR keyboards. (Jan 2009) Brian has converted the Tyros3 styles for use on his PSR9000. The Bass volume has been increased on all the styles, most now play with a more satisfactory bass line.

About Carl Fischer Festival Performance Solos
The Carl Fischer catalog is a treasure trove of solos for all the major band and orchestral instruments. Many of these titles have gained the special recognition that being selected for a state required music list or festival list confers on a piece of music. We are pleased to offer these new collections for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and Violin. Each instrument is provided with two volumes of solos progressively arranged to challenge the student as he or she develops as a player. Selected and compiled by Andrew Balent, each of the pieces included in these books is contained on one or more state contest list and many have been difficult to obtain. Piano accompaniments for all the solos in each volume are provided in a separate book for each instrument. Getting the solos your customers have been asking for just became as easy as checking the contents of the books in Carl Fischer's Festival Performance Solos series.

Man Makes Noise The Free Lobby Piano FOR SPECTRASONiCS OMNiSPHERE 2 [FREE]

Here’s an idea no developer has ever thought off: let’s make a piano library.
I know, I know. The world really frigging doesn’t need another deep sampled piano library with a hundred microphones to choose from. So I didn’t make one. Instead I made you something very different.
The Lobby Piano is an exploration into what a piano can be. A collection of sound design piano tones ranging from experimental playing styles to completely recharged sound explorations. The Lobby Piano is at home in pretty much everything you do. It’s not really a piano anymore. Really it isn’t.
I recorded sounds from a single piano (located in a lobby, duh) with an assortment of orthodox and unorthodox methods and tools (a hammer and a keychain were involved among other items). Still this is not an effects piano nor a prepared piano. It’s a designed piano.

sound design piano soundset for Omnisphere 2.5.
On this site you will find a carefully selected collection of the Internet’s best VST Instruments like Native Instruments, VST Plugins, Samples, sequencers, effects processors, dj tools, loops, presets and a lot of Video tutorials and manuals.

Working on tone and technique. Here's a question: Is it better to relax the left hand thumb and play with the fleshy part agaist the neck or is it better to employ the thumbtip like a claw? Iv'e been trying the later and it seems really hard to get a good tone and it seems unnatural and makes my hand tired. Will this change over time? I'd really like to get a tone like Brian Torff. Any suggestions would be great.

The 1994 New Edition of this virtuosic Sonata for Flute and Piano, by renowned influential French composer Francis Poulenc.
Paul Hindemith's musical style is heavily influenced from the music of the Reformation. This is his Sonata for Flute and Piano.
Partita in A minor (BWV 1013) (Urtext).
40 melodic studies in rhythm and interpretation, written with the aim of familiarising the flautist with a wide range of styles encountered in music today.
Piano score with solo flute line
Welsh-born William Mathias was an optimistic composer whose music is infused with charisma, energy and a distinctive Welsh flavour.
La Flute de Pan, known universally as Syrinx, is one of Debussy's most renowned pieces, and is an essential part in the Flautists repertoire.
Edited by Trevor Wye.


I've been playing guitar for about 10 years and bass for about 6 months. Now I'm about to start gigging with my first band, and I'm playing bass. Strange. The thing is, I need a bass amp and I know nothing about them. I've done some research but I don't know where to start, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I play punk rock with a pick. I play with a ton of treble to get a really crisp twangy sound, so you can always hear it clicking away behind the guitar. I think examples would be Rise Against, NOFX, and Propagandhi. My price range is <1,000 for the rig. If anyone could make a suggestion I would appreciate it.

CNET Editors' review
How do you buy songs for your BlackBerry? We recommend taking a look at 7digital Music Store, a free, well-designed app for both buying new music directly from the BlackBerry and for listening to the MP3s and playlists you already own on your phone. The app connects you to the 7digital online music store, so expect to register for a free account from the app. Luckily, you won't need to enter it each time you sign in.
With 7digital open, depress the right convenience key--or scroll to the right--to launch a menu that lets you browse, shuffle, and search your own music. You can also launch playlists and view your most-played songs. When the app opens for the first time, it offers to import your music. You're able to import more music later on from a Menu option in any My Music screen.
The left convenience key, or a hard scroll to the left, opens the 7digital store, where you can similarly browse categories, search, check the charts, and access your 7digital locker. There's the requisite audio preview, and suggestions for similar music you might like, but we'd like bios front and center alongside those tempting tracks. Purchases of albums and singles are made over the air via data or Wi-Fi; adjust your preference in the program options.
With 7Digital for BlackBerry you can get an integrated advanced media player that imports your existing playlists and MP3 music so that you can carry your music collection wherever you go. 7Digital for BlackBerry features high quality, DRM-free MP3 music store, latest charts, new music and weekly features, large music catalogue with thousands of tracks added weekly, flexible downloads via wireless carrier or WiFi with auto-replace, integrated advanced media player imports your existing music, headset, speaker, and Bluetooth audio streaming support, and access your purchases from your computer and download to any media player including iTunes.
