A midi controller keyboard does not have a sound generating module in it and is used only for sending midi messages to external software / hardware.

So how is it useful if it cannot generate sounds on its own? It is useful if you have a predominantly software based recording setup. If you use a software sequencer for sequencing the tracks, and if all your instrument sounds are generated using soft-synths and VSTs, then you only need a controller keyboard. You just have to connect the keyboard controller to a computer or a laptop, which will have all the necessary software programs

There is no need for you to go in for a full fledged digital keyboard. A midi controller keyboard will be able to send all the performance related messages to the software programs. The controller keyboard will send midi messages to capture all of the performance related parameters. It can send messages which indicate which note is to be played, how hard or soft it is to be played, any effect

If you have decided to buy your first musical keyboard from yamaha, then here is what you need to consider. Yamaha has a wide range of keyboards suitable for beginners, intermediate as well as advanced players, so it can get difficult to focus on what you want.

You need to go in for a Yamaha keyboard that has touch response keys. An important aspect of learning to play keyboards is to play it with expression, and not just in a monotonous way. Touch sensitive keys are a must for that reason because then not all notes are played with the same volume, you can change it by applying different force. Besides, a keyboard with touch response keys also teaches your fingers to have better control over the keys.

Another thing is to buy a Yamaha keyboard that has at least sixty-one keys. This is important if you want to seriously learn the keyboard. If you go in for a keyboard with lesser number of keys, you will nit be able to use your left hand. That means you will not

Mini Size Keyboard for Kids

10/22/2009

Want to introduce your children to music at an early age? A mini size keyboard would be good investment for your kids. We all know about the advantages of introducing kids to music at an early age, and the benefits have been proven. But why a musical keyboard?…because it gives a child the following benefit.

Your kids get a complete picture of the various elements involved in music. Learn how various instruments sound – Piano, string instruments, brass instruments, wind instruments and many more sounds.

Learn about the various musical styles. Learn how the various accompaniments play an important role in the arrangement of any song. How playing a song along with it enhances the overall pleasure of the song.

And what is the cost you pay? Not much, considering that you can buy mini size keyboards. A mini size keyboard differs from the standard musical keyboard in two aspects.

The number of keys is lesser; these have 37 keys, and the size of the keys is sma

Alternative to a Piano - 88 Key Keyboard!

10/22/2009

Why should anybody look for a keyboard with 88 keys? On first instance, the obvious reason that comes out is that one may not be able to afford a piano with the traditional looks – be it acoustic or digital.

Cost, and to some extent the fact that it needs more space are the primary reasons for someone choosing a keyboard which has 88 keys. Somebody who has started to learn keyboards on 61 keys, and is inclined to go to the advanced level, will need a keyboard with 88 keys. Whatever is the style of music that you want to learn – classical, jazz, blues, etc. you will need 88 keys to play the advanced pieces.

But moving to a digital piano is a costlier option than may be getting your 61-key exchanged for a keyboard which has 88 keys, if budget is of high consideration. If you add the advantage of portability to it, it seems even more rational to go in for that since you can even take it along with you if you need to perform.

If you are worried about what sort of ke

Review the Yamaha PSR - Arranger Keyboards from Yamaha!

10/26/2009

Looking for an arranger keyboard with 61 keys? Have a look at the Yamaha PSR series. The psr series is one of the most popular keyboard series from Yamaha and its popularity has remain intact throughout the years.

The PSR series keyboards fall in the category of arranger keyboards and a lot of beginners buy these keyboards. But just because a lot of beginners buy it, does not mean it makes pro keyboards.

At the higher price range, the psr series has some superb keyboards for the professional performers. Since these are more of arranger keyboards, the high end psr keyboards are also known as arranger workstations, because they contain a lot of features to enable you to create your own music tracks.

So what psr keyboard should one buy? Depends on your learning level and budget! If you are a beginner and need a 61 key, touch sensitive keyboard to start learning keyboards, then the models to look for would be Yamaha psr e213, psr e313, and the psr e413.

Review the Yamaha YPG - Grand Keyboards from Yamaha!

10/26/2009

Looking for a digital keyboard with more than 61 keys? Have a look at the Yamaha YPG series of keyboards. These are the grand size keyboards with 88 keys, and can be used for playing all the piano pieces.

Are you an intermediate level keyboard player who wants to graduate from his 61 key electronic keyboard to an 88 key musical keyboard? Are you interested in playing classical music, or want to learn a lot of advanced pieces?

An 88 key keyboard is what you will need, and the Yamaha YPG series produces one of the best 88 key keyboards, also known as grand size keyboards. The YPG series keyboard is primarily meant for the North American market, and contains the usual hundreds of musical styles and voices.

But a lot of people prefer these keyboards because of the availability of weighted keys in this series of keyboards, which resembles more like a piano. This way they can use it for piano practice and it also gives them the flexibility to carry them around, since

Yamaha DGX Keyboard - 88 Key Portable Keyboards from Yamaha!

11/02/2009

The Yamaha DGX Keyboard is suitable for players who are keen to learn the piano, but also enjoy features like the musical styles that are available on musical keyboards. The reason they do not go in for a plain digital piano is because they like the auto accompaniment feature which lets them play along with the various built-in rhythms.

But Yamaha already has the YPG series, so how different is the DGX series from the YPG? Actually there is no difference and they more or less refer to the same set of keyboards. The only difference is that they target different markets. For instance YPG is commonly sold in the American market whereas DGX is mostly sold in the European and other regions.

The DGX keyboards are not going to replace YPG keyboards or vice-versa, atleast there is no communication from Yamaha as of now on this. They exist purely to distinguish between the various regions as well as the mass market retailers such as Best Buy, Circuit City, COSTCO. Each of these

76-Key Electronic Keyboards!

09/17/2009

If you are seriously considering learning to play the electronic keyboards, then a standard 61 keys or a 5-octave keyboard is a must. But after a few months or may be in a year, depending on how soon you pick up things, you will realize that 61 keys are not enough, especially if you are playing a lot of classical based songs.

There are a lot of famous classical pieces that you cannot play on a keyboard with 61 keys. In that case, the next best option is to go in for a keyboard with 76 keys. An electronic keyboard with 76 keys should help you play most of the classical songs. A 76-key keyboard is also known as a 6 and a half octave keyboard.

Ideally a complete piano length i.e. 88 keys would be an ideal keyboard for playing all the classical songs, but then if you are also looking for some portability, a 76-key keyboard will be helpful. It will still be much easier to carry around than an 88-key keyboard.

A 76-key keyboard is not usually the first keyboard owned

Correct Piano Technique!

09/17/2009

Have you been playing piano for quite some time now, and you still feel that your piano playing is not exactly there where you would have liked it to be?

This happens with most of the intermediate-level learners. Part of the reason is because one tends to be complacent and keeps on playing the same stuff that they know. Most of the time, we just play the melody notes correctly and stick to the rhythm, and we feel happy about our performance.

There is no effort on one's part to learn new things, learn new styles or to improvise. If you really want your piano / keyboard playing to stand out, it is very important that you do something else besides your regular playing. You will need to consciously start using some of these piano techniques in your songs.

Techniques such as playing grace notes, playing trills over two notes, and playing the glissando are easy to learn. You should learn them immediately and start using in your piano / keyboard paying. You will find

Flash Camcorders!

09/17/2009

Going on a vacation or some important event is coming up which you need to video shoot? Go in for a digital camcorder!

There are many factors that you may have to look at, before you make an informed buying decision. But if you are sure that you want the lightest digital camcorder and you don't mind paying a slight premium for it, then go in for a Flash camcorder.

A Flash Camcorder will easily let you record digital videos without having to worry too much about DV tapes or DVD discs. It is because of the DV tapes and the DVDs that most of the digital camcorders look heavy and bulkier.

Flash camcorder records on a flash card, which is one of the smallest storage media. Flash cards are much smaller in size and that is why they do not take much space inside a digital camcorder.

Flash Camcorders are also known as Microdrive camcorders and they are the smallest and the lightest of all the camcorders out there in the market.

DVD Digital Camcorders!

08/31/2009

Looking to buy a digital camcorder? You may want to have a look at DVD digital camcorders. These days there are many different types of camcorders available in the market; camcorders that use either DV tapes, hard disk, DVDs and so on as the storage media.

So why should you buy a DVD Camcorder? Because of the simple reason that a DVD camcorder records video on DVD discs, rather than DV tapes. A DVD camcorder is basically different from a regular digital video camera in the way it saves the recorded video.

Lot of people actually feel comfortable with a DVD than a DV tape simply because they can identify with DVD based electronic items! Almost all of us have a DVD player at home and each of us have seen a DVD disc. Besides, DVD discs are easier to handle than tapes, unlikely to get chewed up in the camera.

Besides, you can straight away play the recorded video on your DVD player since the video is recorded on a DVD. In some of the DVD camcorders, you can even per

Does Fasting Work for Weight Loss?

08/31/2009

Nobody wants excess fat in their body and we all are always looking for ways to cut down on excess fat from our body. We all can think of methods like dieting and exercising to lose weight. But what about Fasting or going on a starvation diet to lose weight?

Though you may be tempted to go on a starvation diet, it may do more harm to your body than you could imagine.

The amount of calories we intake determine whether we lose or gain weight! And since the excess calories is because of food, lot of us resort to skipping breakfast or eating a smaller lunch to cut down on our calorie intake.

Going on a starvation diet may help you to lose weight but it is actually not at all a healthy option. This is because if you starve for a longer period of time, your body reduces your metabolism rate. If your body still needs calories, it will break down your muscles first, and then it will look towards fat.

So any loss in weight through fasting is because of loss of m

What is a Synthesizer?

08/27/2009

If you have ever seen a Keyboard Synthesizer, you would have observed that it looks very much like the usual arranger keyboard or musical keyboard. But then that is where the comparison actually ends. A Synthesizer is a far more superior musical instrument and is meant for the professional musician.

Though they look like keyboards and most of them have 61 keys, they include sound generating elements which can be used to create professional sounds and patterns. Synthesizers are much more expensive instruments and they give you the capability to manipulate various parameters of the built-in sounds. Basically, it is used in studios for recording purposes.

Since they are professional instruments, they usually do not have built-in speakers. You are supposed to connect it to external speakers, also known as monitors to hear what you are playing. These instruments do not have built-in accompaniment patterns as well.

You will find that the sounds from synthesizers are u

Allofmp3 18 Months On.....Is There A Real Alternative?

For those of you who don't know, allofmp3.com was, for a couple of years, the second most popular music download site on the web (you can probably guess who had the #1 spot...). It had a unique business model, which earned it millions of fiercely loyal members. The vital ingredient was a massive selection of low priced, DRM free mp3s - however the unique selling point was that you could download music at the bitrate you wanted, paying proportionately depending on the file size (higher bitrate = larger file size = higher quality = higher cost). If you wanted music to play on your ipod, then 192kbps was fine - if you wanted to fill your house with rich CD quality sound, then 320kbps+ was there to be bought.

The site was based in Russia, and albums could be downloaded (at lower bitrates) from around $2US - apparently the going rate for a CD in Russia. This was allofmp3's greatest advantage, and also the cause of it's downfall. The site, operating within the guidelin! es of Russian law, argued that it paid royalties from each sale to an independent collection agency (known as ROMS), which copyright holders could then approach to have their allocation of royalties from the sale of their music. Apparently no approach was ever made to ROMS by western agencies to recover royalties. Instead, with prices being severely undercut relative to US/European CD & download prices, the western agencies went on the offensive.......

After sustained lobbying by the RIAA, allofmp3.com was cited by US Congress as a barrier to Russia joining the World Trade Organisation. Russia subsequently applied pressure on the site, and the site owners were taken to court. They were later found not guilty of any illegal activity by the Russian legal system.

Let's pause for a minute at this point. Here we had a website offering the ultimate customer choice in music downloads. Music fans voted with their wallets and downloaded music (playable on any d! evice) exactly as they wanted it. They weren't going to file s! haring s ites for free - they were paying! The big record companies couldn't be seen to condone this, as the allofmp3 pricing structure severely undercut their own. Applying to ROMS for royalties would be seen as acceptance of the situation - therefore the only option in the eyes of the RIAA was to destroy the site.

As you would expect, there were many sites waiting in the wings to satisfy the expectation of allofmp3's customers for cheap, high quality downloads - and they appeared almost overnight. Some were very good, some were mediocre and some were very bad - however none of them had the overall experience and offer of allofmp3. This is understandable - a huge amount of resource was required to sample thousands of albums at different bitrates - sites weren't prepared to go to that level of effort if they could be closed down overnight.

So where does that leave the avid mp3 downloader? The music industry have not attempted to replicate the offer of allofmp3 ! - this may be a face saving exercise. However it is suprising that some hard nosed record company exec has not decided to break ranks and offer downloads at even twice the price of allofmp3 - there would be a flood of buyers ready to purchase in the knowledge that they were getting music at the quality they wanted, at the price they wanted, that they could play on any device. Instead the 'official' sources have remained at their original position of pricing downloads at the equivalent of going out and buying the CD.

And what of the 'allofmp3 replacements' that have sprung up over the last 18 months? Of those that are reliably available, none offer the option of different bitrates. However many offer music, over a wide variety of genres, at much lower prices than western sites. The only way to get a choice of bitrates is to join three or four sites, and check each one to see which bitrates your particular choice of music is available in (these do vary widely).

The last option is file sharing, or P2P. Given the rec! ent publ icity over The Pirate Bay trial, P2P file sharing is probably seeing a resurgence - another music industry own
goal. However if long download times, questionable quality and risk of virus infection are not on your list of priorities, you should give it a miss.

If only the music industry would pull it's head out of it's rear, there could easily be a popular, profitable, acceptable and sustainable allofmp3 alternative. But I feel they would sooner milk every last penny out of music fans, and use some of that money to eliminate any competition. At what point will someone in the big record companies have the balls to make the change?

Allofmp3 RIP.

An Artisticâs Break-up Documented through Euphony and Lyric Poems

Songs can be cathartic for the auditorsâ€"but they can also be lyrical for the vocalizer and the creative people as well. This can be seen (or, more an aptly, discovered) through the Music and Lyric Poems of creative people and instrumentalists who went through potty detachments with their pardners. Their sensitive knows fuel their Songs and their Song Lyrics, giving their Music profundity. These Vocalsâ€"with Lyric Poems that a great deal break some closed books about their past relationshipsâ€"are frequently controversial; at the very least, they trip some occupy in the vocal. After all, these Songs and their fateful Lyrics are no longer hearsays; they already speak the the true, since they came immediately from the artist.

Not astonishingly, most of these famous celebrity break up Songs are oftentimes done by young creative people. They often say that young artists are probably to base their works on their per! sonal lives; and the Words and the breathings in of their Vocals prove just that. A glaring example of this is Miley Cyrusâ€™ â€œ7 Things.â€ It was co-written by Cyrus, and it speaks of the things she hates about a decisive person. As the first part of the Lyric Poems unwrap, there is no doubt that she is babbling about a past relationship (â€œWhen I think about the other / human relationship we shared / It was proud but we lost it / It's not feasible for me not to care,â€ the Lyric Poems go). But what makes the Words more umteen worrying is how the Lyric Poems draw the boy from her past. At one point, her Words accuse him of having feelings for other girl. Reportable to speculations, the song is about her old boyfriend, Nick Jonas. The two abnegated the bruits, but thereâ€™s really no way of intended whether she did pertain to him or not.

more legion mature artists used Songs as â€œtherapyâ€ too, as what Cyrus did. For exemplify, according to reports, Mandy M! ooreâ€™s â€œLooking Forward to Looking Backâ€ has Lyric Poems! describ ing her past kinship with actor Zach Braff. And the timing was bright tooâ€"the Lyric Poems and the Music of the Vocals included in her Wild Hope record album for the most part refer to a failed love. At this time, Moore broker up with Braff. The Lyric Poems of the Songs also match the ventures that Braff was a â€œtoxic boyfriend and was a â€œcheater.â€ Although the the true wasnâ€™t unwrapped, Moore did break what she felt during that time in one of her Songs. For illustration: â€œAnd I know you loved me in your way / I'm looking forward to looking back on these days / And I'm fine, but I'm not okayâ€ (from â€œLooking Forward to Looking Backâ€).

But perhaps the most sordid break up song was Justin Timberlakeâ€™s â€œCry Me A River.â€ This song reiterates the story of his break up with Britney Spears, and the Lyric Poems are very revealing â€"the Words tell more legion than what the two was held in the press. Watch : "You don't have to say what you did/I alread! y know, I found out from him/Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be/And don't it make you sad about it."

U2 Tickets

In the fall of 1976, a popular high school student Paul Hewson observed a note on the notice board of Mount Temple Comprehensive School in Dublin . It was from a 14 year old student Larry Mullen and he had asked for some music lovers to come and join a band. Paul's immediately answered the call and so did three other lads, Dave Evans, Dick Evans and Adam Clayton. A five-piece band was organized with the name of "Feedback". However, Dick Evans left the band to join another one after some time. The band altered their name to "The Hype" but ultimately they set on to " U2".It was this name which took them to the heights of the sky and made it one of the hottest band of 1980's.

17 th March 1978 was an unforgettable day for U2 as they got their first major break by wining a music talent contest on St. Patrick's Day in Limerick . One of the judges of the contest was Jackie Heyden working for CBS Records. Observing the electrifying performance of the boys, he became an immediate fan of U2. It was Jackie Heyden who first took U2 to the studio for recording their debut demo. Although it was not so successful it was still a real confidence booster for the young men.

Their thrilling music and breathtaking performances soon managed to amass crowds of dedicated fans. Through the combination of devotion and passion they rose to be the most popular rock and roll bands of 80's. The zealous struggle of U2 allowed them to nab a respectable place in the music world during the era of synthesized pop and heavy metal music.

They launched their debut album in 1979 with the name "U 2 three", which grabbed the top place in Ireland music charts. Later when it was released in England , it was a disappointing failure.

The next year was filled with extensive touring worldwide for the band. In a couple of years two of their albums were in the market, naming "The Boy" and "October", and the boys were now recognized in Ireland . Nevertheless, U2 really hit the big time with the release of their album "War", released in March 1983. The "New Year's Day" single became chart topper in England .

U2 was on the flow and their records were selling like hot cake throughout the world. Their 7 th LP "The Joshua Tree" did record breaking selling in England and remained the big seller in 22 other countries. The fame of U2 was swelling uncontrollably and they amassed millions of dollars from world over.

Next albums were "Achtung Baby",1991, "Zooropa",1993, "Pop"1997and their latest album " How to Dismantle a Atomic Bomb",2004, which are still remembered by millions of rock music lovers.

There has been no deterioration in the fame of U2 till the present day. Several U2 concerts are still due during this summer in Spain, England, France, Italy, Holland, Switzerland and other European countries. Millions of fans are excited about these concerts all over the world, as can be judged by the fact that most of the tickets have been sold out.

U2 has been maneuvering the rock music scenario constantly for over two complete decades which is an achievement of sorts. They have chartered success on their own terms on both the artistic and business sides in the music industry. And it seems apparent to thousands of their fans that their sun of limitless fame might never set!

Bollywood News, Movie Reviews, Features and Gossips

In bollywood movie review you will find that melodrama and music to be the key ingredients in most of the movies. Whether it is Hindi movie review or regional movie review, the case is similar. It is only those parallel movies that try to be different. The mainstream film makers always provide a good dose of â€˜masalaâ€™ in their movies to attract masses. They cannot help it because the masses whose viewership determines the box office success of a movie loves this â€˜masalaâ€™ stuff. If you go through bollywood reviews you will find that movies that have rightly positioned this â€˜masalaâ€™ along with some melodramatic scenes and good catchy songs coupled with colorful dances have often turned out to be box office hits.

Itâ€™s true that most Hindi movies features song and dance sequences along with melodramatic scenes and even if some critics ridicule this trend yet mingling the two is indeed an art. There was a time when Hindi movies were made on some typical f! ormulas like â€˜lost and foundâ€™, â€˜revengeâ€™, â€˜love trianglesâ€™ etc and some of these movies even became all time hits. Today even if these so called formulas does exist they alone cannot turn a movie into a box office hit unless blended with creativity and innovation. Filmmakers should have the talent to combine these elements into an attractive package that sells in the box office market. The art lies in the right mix and movies that have been able to do this well have become runaway hits while there have been many which could not even recover its production costs.

The success of a movie does not only depend on its formula or a directorâ€™s directional aptitude but also on the actors. Sometimes it is the actors who carry a film on their shoulders. Experienced and talented actors know how to do it right for a filmâ€™s success.

Again according to some bollywood previews sometimes celebrity gossip creates an aura about a film prior to its release! . This may lead to an added interest amongst filmgoers to watc! h a movi e in hordes on the day of its release resulting in astounding first day box office collections. This celeb gossip can indeed make a hit out of an average movie by virtue of the charisma of the leading actors. However this is not a dependable factor for filmmakers.

Bollywood movies have always been known for its larger than life characters, situations and fantasies. Adequately sprinkled with song and dance sequences filmmakers have always woven a world of dreams that have inspired filmmakers generation after generation. In a country like India these dreams sell like hot cakes because most of the people lead a monotonous life devoid of any zing or excitement and they find their release through these movies.

Songs too are an integral part of any Bollywood movie. There have been instances where a film has turned out to be huge hit because of its songs and music. Such movies have also created star singers overnight. Nowadays film buffs looks forward to music! reviews of latest releases because the music is released much before the filmâ€™s release and if the music sounds promising then it creates interest amongst the people making them eagerly await its release. Music news provided by music companies gives the filmgoer or the Hindi music buff an idea about what to expect from the forthcoming release. There have been instances where a film with a great musical score has failed in the box office yet the music being the only saving grace of the film has enabled its producer to recover at least the production costs or in some cases even make a decent profit.

Bollywood cinema have been both criticized and praised for its typical style. Most of the criticism has been directed towards its depiction of larger than life unreal imagery. Even Hollywood has its share of larger than life characters. Some people also find the song and dance sequences very funny but at times these become necessary to provide relief from melodramati! c sequences and also to make the movie enjoyable.

T! he â€˜ma salaâ€™ ingredient will always be there in Bollywood but film makers should strive to carve their own distinctive style to compete with world movies. They should experiment with other art forms and imaginations. Creativity and art should never remain constant.

What are Arranger Keyboards?

08/14/2009

Most of the kids get fascinated by the musical keyboard is because of their ability to create different sounds and the various built-in musical rhythms. Most of the parents identify these instruments by the name Casio. Though Casio is a manufacturer of electronic keyboards, they have a monopoly when it comes to keyboards with lesser number of keys and that explains why people refer to keyboards as Casio.

But if you look at the keyboards in the higher price range, you will observe that not only does the quality of sound improve drastically, the number of sounds and built-in rhythms (also known as styles) also go up dramatically. You can easily find hundreds of sounds and rhythms, based on various musical styles.

And it is because of these musical styles, these keyboards are also known as Arranger keyboards. Because, you just have to select one of the musical styles and that is what you need to accompany the melody that you play. These musical styles are basically a comb

What Is Non Linear Video Editing?

08/14/2009

Long back in the past, when the process of making movies was not so easy and affordable, most people were happy with the way they had shot their movies; they would just watch them as it is. In fact, even if somebody wanted to edit their movies, it was not so straight since computers were not affordable and use of software was limited only to a few people.

To edit their movies, people had to actually cut their films with razors, remove the unwanted bits and then attach the pieces of film together. This is how it used to work and this type of editing was known as Linear Editing.

Back then this was the only method available to the movie editors but today if you look at it, it seems as if it was just so much of wasted time, spent in editing and reworking.

Fortunately for us today, we have non-linear video editing available to us. So what exactly is non linear editing? As the name suggests, you do not have to edit the captured footage in any specific order, you per
