Who Needs a Record Label Anymore?

HyperDiy Media, a new kind of 'Record Label Replacement Company', are offering a range of services to replace the old-fashioned style record deal.

Aimed at artists, bands and small labels. HyperDIY can handle anything from simple online distribution to a full campaign including Videos and radio plugging and a number of ever expending territories around the world. The aim is to allow new bands to have a chance at getting their music heard by the public at large, without having to wait to be discovered by the increasingly tight and inward looking circles of the music Industry.

"A lot of bands and artists feel that it's hard to get any interest from record labels due to the state most labels are in, they all seem to be playing it very safe." said Richard, the companies Managing Director. Dawn Firth, the CEO added "A lot of people think it's impossible to have a successful music career without a label, but there's a lot of talented bands and artist's out there who just haven't been lucky enough to get the breaks".

HyperDIY's aim is to provide the tools to level the playing field. For a range of low one off fees, artists can have HyperDIY handle everything that a traditional label would handle for the band. Artists are able to select several individual services such as distribution, mastering, PR, Video Production and online support or to select from a number of packages which combine a number of the above for reduced rates. The best part is that any revenue the band makes from their record sales goes back to the band, with HyperDIY not taking one single percent from their profit. Also, HyperDIY does not have an A&R policy. "We aren't here to judge," added Dawn "We always believed that it is for the public to decide- so often the labels get it wrong!"

Many of the packages can be paid for over time and even if, in these recessional times, an artists finds he can't quite afford the services, Dawn and Richard urge artists to get in touch. "We aren't some faceless major, contact us for a chat and we'll see how we can help" says Dawn.

HyperMEDIA also provide a FREE press release service to anyone who signs up to their mailing list, just go to their site, click where advertised and fill in your details, then they will get your press release out far and wide.

So if you are asking yourself, "Who needs a record label?" go to http://www.hyperdiymedia.com and see what they have to offer.

Progressive Rock Band Influenced by Gandhi Releases Songs Addressing World Issues

Sugar Grove, IL: Truth On Earth, a socially conscious, progressive teen rock band for the ages, recently announced the release of new original music to further their fight of world problems. Using the power of song and the universal language of music, this unique band helps raise awareness and money for worthy charities fighting world problems. By combining entertainment with philanthropy, they provide a benefit to both those in need and those who contribute.

http://www.truthonearthband.com
http://truthonearthband.com/clips/enough.mp3

The band name, lyrical messages and powerful world-changing mission are based upon the work of Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi, one of the greatest spiritual leaders of all time and the basis of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Civil Rights movement. Gandhi said that Peace could best be achieved through truth and non-violent protest and he proved it for a time by causing the end of a century of British rule over India. One small man had a giant influence. So the band is named in Gandhi's honor to carry on his work and ideals through the universal language of music to a struggling planet.

The band's main goal is to raise consciousness, through the universal language of music, to a level where, over time, everyone can become part of the solution. The end result and vision is that problems can be fixed and the planet can be left in a condition that is free of destruction and makes it worth inheriting by future generations.

Truth on Earth's music has been described as refreshing, highly creative, electrifying and a throwback to early 70's rock. This unique sound blends with progressive songwriting about world issues to appeal to those with the same social conscience.

These young women have committed their lives to fixing the problems of the planet so future generations will have a, "planet worth inheriting." Their philanthropic spirit combined with their exceptional musical talents results in a contribution of nearly three quarters of their proceeds to worldly charities.

Listeners cannot only enjoy the sound of Truth on Earth but can choose one of many worthwhile causes to donate to, at http://www.truthonearthband.com

These young women are devoting their lives to doing whatever they can to bring awareness and solutions to many world problems, in the spirit of Gandhi. They want to be pro-active, on the front lines, connecting people through the universal language of music. "We have all seen devastating pictures of abuse, starvation, homeless, effects of war....., but never have been unified with music in a way, until now, that reaches the listener's core level, creating feelings that pictures alone can't and that allows for the proper contribution," states the band members.

About Truth on Earth:

Truth On Earth is a progressive rock band featuring three teenage sisters that blends the sounds of old and new, heavily influenced by '60's & '70's rock. They write, produce and sing original songs about major issues in the world that require the attention of all. Their mission is, "to unite people across the globe, with music, to take action to create a better world so future generations will have a planet worth inheriting."

They are available for performance, interviews and charitable appearances and can be contacted through their website, www.truthonearthband.com or email, truth@truthonearthband.com. Their music is currently available for immediate download from their website. Contributions to select, related charities can be made there as well.

the guitar of jimi hendrix

To most people the truth about when Jimi Hendrix got his first guitar and what types of guitars he played throughout his career is somewhat of a mystery. Although, he was unarguably the greatest guitar player ever, and with his fertile musical mind, perhaps the greatest composer of our generation or ever for that matter. No disrespect intended, putting Jimi in company with Bach, Beethoven and the likes. True Genius.

The path that will be described here is what I would consider the most accurate, after a lot of research and a little voodoo-magic. Realistically though, boiling down the mixture may leave some people to disagree with me, and I welcome the input.

The evidence and consistencies suggest that his first guitar was a cheap acoustic his dad gave to him, as early as eleven years old. The story goes as such, that even at a young age of six years, his school teacher mentioned to his dad, Jimi obsesses over having a guitar so much that it may be contributing to some mental health issues. Not to discount todays teachers, but that was a very perceptive statement at that time.

His first electric guitar was bought from Myers Music in Seattle in 1959. Professed to be a white, single pickup Supro Ozark. The next axe that Hendrix played was a red Danelectro single pickup Silvertone, nicknamed Betty Jean. In'62, while doing some gigs with the King Casuals in Tennessee, he traded his Danelectro for an Epiphone Wilshire, which had dual pickups and a glued on mahogany neck with a solid mahogany body, as opposed to the bolt on Fender Stratocaster guitar necks.

In 1964, Jimi would play rhythm guitar for the Isley Brothers. During this nine month gig, he finally got his first Fender guitar, a blond'59 Duo-Sonic. He next played with Little Richard in '65, and briefly played a Fender Jazzmaster. However, he switched back to a Dou-Sonic when he played with Curtis Knight and the Squires. Even though Jimi later returned to the Jazzmaster.

A point of interest is that none of the gigs he had with the bands mentioned above lasted very long, because Jimi's guitar work stole the show. His unbelievable guitar abilities were noticed by all immediately, which took the focus away from the musical-icons he worked for.

Jimi purchased his first Strat from Manny's Music in New York in '66 in the summer. Early on he would use a variety of CBS Strats with rosewood fretboards. While he was staying in Greenwich Village in late '66 and '67 he narrowed down his choices to a '60's era Reverse Fender Stratocasterblack or white Fender Strats using maple fretboards. Which, most likely is the reason the Fender Stratocaster is the most important guitar in the history of guitars and music.

From then on he played Fender Stratocasters with large headstocks. One of his many unusual playing techniques was to play a right handed guitar backwards, or in the left handed position, obviously because Jimi was left handed. In order to do that one must reverse the strings and (bone) nut so the low E was still on the top. My understanding was that he preferred the controls on the top of the guitar. Apparently he could work his magic easier with the voluminous amount of tricks he performed, partly by messing with the volume control knob. Jimi was not much on tone controls or guitar setup. Mostly Jimi spent the bulk of time modifying his tremolo to do things like lower the pitch more than usual and create trem sounds otherwise unheard of.

Naturally Jim Hendrix had purchased and played a tremendous assortment of guitars in his lifetime. During my fact finding mission, this is the list of the other guitars Jimi most likely owned and played; a Gibson ES-330, a Gibson Firebird, a Mosrite electric resonator guitar, a Guild 12 string acoustic, a Black Widow Spider acoustic, several Rickenbacker's including a bass Rick, a double neck Mosrite, a Hagstrom 8 string bass(it was the on played on Spanish Castle Magic from the Axis Bold As Love album', a '67 Gibson Flying V, a '67 Gretsch Corvette, a lefty Guild Starfire Deluxe, a Hofner electric, a '55 Gibson Les Paul, a Gibson Dove acoustic, a Martin acoustic, a '68 Gibson SG Custom and a black lefty Flying V. Wow!

It is not surprising that Jimi owned so many guitars. The depth of knowledge and pure unadulterated playing style was not limited to just electric guitars and Stratocasters. His unique abilities allowed him to play any guitar with the deep soul jarring vibes that were all his. It would be unrealistic to think he was limited to one style of guitar. Or for that matter, one type of music. Jimi's interest in music extended to the world of classical music as well.

Lost to many, is the fact that Jimi was one of the best rhythm guitarists ever, most folk know him for his lead and solo guitar work, he was also an adept bass player too. And last, he was a master at the acoustic guitar, using chords in a manner unknown to mankind at that time. This combo of skills and abilities produced the man who will be forever the patron saint of rock guitar.

A long article to read indeed. A true joy putting the info together. It turned out to be a long path to find the truth. Enjoy it.

music network

The internet continues to revolutionize the music industry and the creation of music networks has helped musicians to promote their bands, sell their music, find band members, buy and sell musical instruments, chat to fellow musicians in the forums, post photos, their music, videos and so much more.

There are many benefits to joining one of the top music networks. It is best to focus on two or three at the most and create, as well as maintain, a standout profile page for your music or band. If you spread yourself too thin and try to join every music site you come across then you will find yourself struggling to maintain an active profile. If you join one of these music networks then you will gain a massive amount international exposure for your music.

Try to devote 30 minutes each month in updating your profile with new photos, gig dates, videos or music samples. On a more regular basis you may want to respond to forum posts, reply to comments posted on your page and also respond to any emails sent to you. You need to treat these music networks as an advertisement and great way to promote your band. Therefore spending some time on the site could bring about some lucrative and life changing publicity for you.

The key point to gaining the most exposure for your music on these sites is to be proactive and make the most of the features available to you. You will want to post recent photos of yourself or your band. You should add some new photos each month. Try and add some bright and colourful photos of each of your band members as well as some group shots. Ask a friend or partner to take some high quality photos of you while performing.

Music videos are all the rage due to YouTube. You can use a camera to take some footage of the band performing one of their most popular songs. Just as a great video can make your band; a bad video can have a negative impact on your music. If a music venue manager is not the network to look for a band for a gig and they listen to a poor quality live performance then they will just move on to the next band. So make sure the video you submit is one that will impress your viewers.

Why spend time in the forums? Because you never know who is online and who is reading the forum posts. Many of the top music forums not only allow bands and musicians to sign up and create a profile but also music promoters, managers, music venue owners, music producers and professionals from the music industry. As a result, you may just catch the eye of one of these promoters who could give you the lead you need. Post positive and informative posts that will require a similar response. Avoid getting into any personal attacks or conflicts with other forum members. Maintaining a high level of professionalism is of the utmost importance in building the reputation you want to succeed.

What about writing an article? It is quite easy to write an article about a topic you are passionate about and have knowledge in. How can this help you? Well in a music network you have members who are musicians and are therefore craving information to help them with their band or music. As a result you can gain some valuable exposure by adding your name and active link at the bottom of the article. You can basically piggy back these top music networks who already achieve high page rankings in the search engines for your own benefit. Search engines love quality content about a specific topic. As a result these search engines will pick up the keywords used in your article and rank it highly as the article is located on a reputable site. Both these combined will give it a good chance of being spread throughout the internet.

One of the best features is the ability to post your upcoming gigs or events. What other way can you get free advertising for your gigs! When posting your gig make sure all information is correct and if any of it changes be sure to return to your profile and update it. There will be fans that listen to your music samples, watch your videos and then decide on attending one of your gigs if they like what they hear. You don't want to upset them by having them go out of their way to attend your event only to find that the details were changed and there is no gig! Try to include the date, time, cost and location of the event. Some of the top networks will have a feature where your fans can "subscribe" or add their name to an attendance list. This will also allow you to send emails with specific details to these members. This is networking and building a fan base.

Classifieds are also a great way to buy and sell instruments, equipment, search for new band members, post jobs or look for a gig, sell tickets to events and so much more. Make sure you only add the information you want people to see and only use a respectable payment solution provider in the transaction. Most sites leave transactions up to both parties and are not responsible for any disputes or problems with the sale.

Are there dangers associated with music networks? Yes, but only if you post personal information that hackers or people involved in criminal activity can use to spam you or rip you off. The top sites will have internal email systems where your personal email address is protected. They also have a feature that allows you to block any members you wish not to correspond with. Remember that you use these music networks to promote your music and not your personal life and details as a lot of the "Social Networks" do. This is why you should stick to the top music networks that operate with the sole purpose of assisting bands and musicians in promoting their music.

If you maintain an active profile you may just be lucky enough to gain additional exposure from the site. For example, the music networks highlight and profiles a new band each month. This profile puts the band on the front page, generates extra hits for the band's profile page, spreads their band across the internet due to the quality content in the profile and provides a reputable promotion for the band by a music industry leader. Want to make your own luck? Then be proactive and contact the site team and let them know that you would like to have your band or music be considered to be profiled.

One more great tip is to use "Keywords" in your title for photos, events, profiles etc as these keywords will appear in that page's URL. This will help for better search engine exposure as they love keywords and targeted content.

The key is where to start when selecting which music networks to join? There are many ways to promote your music and three of the best methods for music and band promotion is by creating a profile on MyBandMate and MySpace Music or posting your music videos on YouTube Music.

So if you want to showcase your music to the world and are not active in these top two music networks then you better get on to it. It takes time, some effort and a desire to make your music reach a global audience. Be proactive, utilize all of the key features to gain maximum exposure and build a fan base by responding to their emails and comments. Don't include any information in your profile that you don't want the world to see. Treat your profile page as an advertisement for your music. You may only have one chance to catch the eye of a music promoter, producer or music venue owner looking for a band so make your profile look professional.

cara mendapatkan link popularity

Salah satu cara ampuh untuk mendapatkan link popularity dan menaikkan page ranking dimata search engine adalah dengan cara mengirim (submit) artikel ke banyak direktori artikel ( Articles Directory ) semakin banyak artikel kita yang di approve (diterima) makin bagus pula popularity website kita di search engine sehingga dapat menaikkan traffic, selain itu dengan banyaknya artikel kita yang "nempel" di situs lain kemungkinan kita mendapatkan traffic gratis juga semakin besar.

Direktori artikel umumnya mempunyai page ranking yang tinggi ( PR 5 keatas) di google, sehingga dengan adanya link kita yang biasanya ada di signature artikel nempel di situs yang page rankingnya tinggi kemungkinan kita akan dapat "pembagian" PR 1 atau 2 tingkat. Saya merekomendasikan ezinearticles.com, articlecity.com dan articledashboard.com, saya juga membuat sebuah artikel directory ArticleCillin.com untuk anda coba.

Salah satu tool yang bagus untuk mempermudah pengiriman (submit ) artikel ke banyak artikel direktori adalah article submitter. Dengan tool ini proses pengiriman artikel menjadi lebih sederhana dan cepat karena kita tidak perlu mengulang - ulang mengisi form article submit, form ini akan diisi secara otomatis oleh article submitter, sehingga yang kita lakukan hanyalah mengisi category dan kita langsung bisa submit artikel tersebut ke direktori artikel.

Secara default article submitter menyertakan lebih dari 100 alamat article directory yang langsung bisa kita kirim (submit) artikel kita, daftar directory artikel ini dapat kita tambah atau kita kurangi sesuai dengan direktory artikel yang kita ikuti, di article submitter saya ada sekitar 100 alamat semua bisa saya submit artikel dalam waktu 2 jam.

Sebelum mulai submit artikel kita terlebih dahulu harus mendaftar (sign up) ke semua direktori artikel tersebut dan setelah kita terdaftar dan conform kita dapat submit artikel sebanyak banyaknya. Saran saya pada waktu mendaftar gunakan lah username yang sama untuk semua direktori artikel dan gunakan alamat email pada waktu mendaftar sebagai username. Selamat mencoba

cara perbaiki vocal

MEMPERBAIKI VOKAL YANG FALS (OUT OF TUNE)DENGAN CAKEWALK SONAR


PENDAHULUAN

Begitu canggihnya perkembangan teknologi software musik saat ini

sehingga hampir segala sesuatu yang Anda inginkan dalam proses

kreatif bermusik dapat dipenuhi. Salah satunya adalah memperbaiki

vokal yang fals. Fasilitas ini sering digunakan karena berbagai

situasi dan pertimbangan sbb :

Penyanyinya tidak dapat bernyanyi dengan baik. Walaupun proses

rekaman dilakukan berulang kali tetapi hasilnya tetap jelek karena

skill penyanyinya yang memang tidak memadai.

Keterbatasan pada saat rekaman vokal. Pada situasi tertentu, kadang-kadang Anda mempunyai waktu atau dana yang

terbatas dalam melakukan rekaman vokal untuk mendapatkan hasil yang sempurna. Anda meneruskan suatu proyek

rekaman dimana track vokalnya fals dan penyanyinya tidak mungkin melakukan take ulang. Adanya fasilitas untuk

memperbaiki vokal dengan menggunakan software membuat kedua masalah di atas dapat di atasi. Lalu bagaimana

tanggungjawab moralnya ? Untuk itu saya serahkan pada Anda masing-masing untuk menilai. Jangan heran dan kaget

kalau Anda menemukan artis penyanyi yang tidak bisa menyanyi dengan benar pada saat live padahal pada saat

rekaman terdengar hebat. Selanjutnya, silakan Anda resapi artikel ini yang mudah-mudahan bermanfaat untuk Anda.

APA ITU PITCH CORRECTION ? Sebelum Anda mengetahui cara memperbaiki vokal yang fals, Anda harus

memahami konsep 'Pitch' dan 'Pitch Correction'. Sebagian besar dari Anda mungkin sudah mengetahui bahwa suara

dihasilkan oleh benda bergetar yang menghasilkan tekanan udara yang akhirnya diterima gendang telinga kita.

Kecepatan getaran suatu benda menghasilkan getaran suara (sound vibration). Biasanya benda yang berukuran kecil

menghasilkan getaran suara yang lebih cepat daripada benda yang berukuran besar. Ini menyebabkan Anda

mendengar adanya pitch atau tinggi rendah nada. Getaran suara yang lebih cepat menghasilkan pitch yang lebih daripada getaran suara yang lebih lambat. Contohnya : Bass drum menghasilkan pitch yang rendah. Senar gitar yang

paling kecil menghasilkan pitch yang lebih tinggi daripada senar gitar yang paling besar. Pitch berhubungan juga

dengan frekwensi walaupun beberapa suara yang kompleks spt suara gempa bumi tidak mengandung frekwensi yang

spesifik. Garputala (tuning fork) mengandung hanya satu frekwensi tertentu yang disebut 'fundamental frequency'.

Tetapi untuk suara yang lebih kompleks spt suara manusia, suara flute, suara string selain mempunyai 'fundamental

frequency' juga mempunyai frekwensi kelipatan dari 'fundamental frequency' yang disebut 'harmonics'. Suara-suara mempunyai gelombang suara yang periodik artinya selalu berulang pada waktu tertentu spt pada gambar berikut ini :

Sedangkan suara spt suara gempa bumi tidak mempunyai gelombang suara yang periodik spt pada gambar berikut ini :

Pitch dari gelombang suara yang periodik dapat diukur dalam jumlah getaran per detik atau menggunakan satuan Hertz.

Sebagai contoh standar tuning instrumen musik adalah nada A3 = 440 Hz (A3 adalah nada A pada octave ke-3).

Prinsip 'pitch correction' adalah pertama-tama menganalisa pitch dari suatu gelombang suara yang didapat dengan

mengukur berapa lama waktu pengulangan gelombang suara tersebut atau disebut 'pitch detection / pitch tracking'.

Kemudian berdasarkan suatu tangganada yang ditentukan oleh user, setiap pitch yang tidak sama frekwensinya akan

disesuaikan dengan frekwensi pada tangganada tersebut. Misalnya Anda menyanyikan nada A pada frekwensi 390 Hz

yang artinya suara Anda terdengar fals. Fungsi 'pitch correction' ini menyesuaikannya menjadi 440 Hz sehingga suara

tersebut tidak terdengar fals. Kerja dari 'pitch correction' ini harus sangat cepat dan akurat agar Anda tidak merasakan

adanya noise tambahan yang mengganggu. Karena fungsi 'pitch correction' bekerja berdasarkan pengukuran jumlah

getaran per detik maka apabila ada suara yang mempunyai gelombang suara yang tidak periodik spt suara gempa

bumi, fungsi 'pitch correction' ini tidak akan berfungsi dengan baik. Tetapi untuk gelombang suara yang periodik spt

vokal, gitar, piano, 'pitch correction' akan bekerja dengan baik. Sekarang bagaimana suatu gelombang suara dalam ini adalah vokal dapat diperbaiki pitchnya ? Yaitu dengan menggunakan software AutoTune dari Antares Audio

Technologies. PLUG-IN AUTO-TUNE DARI ANTARES AUDIO TECHNOLOGIES Plug-in adalah software yang apabila telah diinstal akan menambah fungsi software induk / software utamanya. Misalnya plug-in yang

kompatibel dengan DirectX akan menambah fungsionalitas software spt Cakewalk Pro Audio, Cakewalk Sonar, Sound

Forge dsb dan plug-in yang kompatibel dengan VST akan menambah fungsionalitas software spt Cubase VST, Nuendo

dsb. Sebagai contoh, plug-in dari perusahaan Waves akan menambah kemampuan Cakewalk dalam hal 'effect

processing'. Demikian juga plug-in Auto-tune dari Antares Audio Technologies akan menambah fungsionalitas software

Cakewalk dalam hal 'pitch correction'. Menggunakan plug-in Auto-tune ini sama spt Anda menggunakan plug-in chorus, reverb, delay dsb dan tentunya dikhususkan untuk data audio. Saya menganggap Anda telah menguasai cara

menggunakan plug-in dalam Cakewalk karena saya tidak akan membahasnya di sini. Plug-in Auto-tune yang saya

gunakan dalam artikel ini adalah versi 3. Plug-in Auto-tune ini dapat Anda download versi demonya pada :

http://sites.konetif.org - KOMUNITAS TUNANETRA KREATIF (KONETIF) Powered by Mambo Dibuat:19 May, 2008, 14:43

http://www.antares-systems.com. Auto-tune sendiri mempunyai dua cara 'pitch correction' yang disebut sebagai modus

atau mode yaitu 'Automatic Mode' dan 'Graphical Mode' dimana masing-masing berdiri sendiri artinya pada saat salah

satu modus aktif, modus lainnya tidak aktif. AUTOMATIC MODE Modus ini secara terus-menerus mendeteksi membandingkannya dengan tangganada yang ditentukan oleh Anda sendiri. Apabila ada not yang tidak sesuai dengan

tangganada tersebut, Auto-tune akan memperbaikinya. Tetapi apabila suatu not telah sesuai dengan tangganada

tersebut, Auto-tune tidak akan memperbaikinya. Outputnya berupa pitch yang tidak terdengar fals. Tangganada dan

nada dasar yang dapat Anda tentukan bisa berupa tangganada mayor, minor, kromatik, Arabic bahkan tangganada

Slendro dan Pelog. Sebagai latihan, silakan Anda download file wav berikut ini : aah.wav. Setelah itu import ke

Cakewalk pada salah satu track audio menggunakan perintah File > Import Audio (untuk Cakewalk Sonar). Pasang

plug-in Auto-tune pada bagian efek dari track ini. Kemudian ikuti langkah-langkah berikut : Coba playback track vokal Anda akan mendengar suara saya yang menyanyikan nada C tetapi dengan sedikit fals. Aktifkan Auto-tune pada FX dan mengklik kanan pada bagian efek ini dan pilih plug-in ini untuk menampilkan kotak dialog Auto-tune berikut Pastikan Anda berada pada 'Automatic Mode' dengan menekan tombol 'A' pada bagian 'Correction Mode'. 'Scale' pilih tangganada mayor. Pada kotak 'Key' pilih nada dasar F. Geser slider 'Retune' ke posisi 0. Ini berarti 'pitch correction' akan langsung bekerja karena jedanya 0 ms. Playback lagi track audio ini. Anda akan mendengar yang sebelumnya fals akan diperbaiki. Seberapa banyak kerja 'pitch correction' ini bisa dilihat pada kotak 'Change

(Cents)' dimana nilai 0 berarti 'pitch correction' tidak bekerja. Vokal yang sebelumnya tidak mempunyai vibrasipun diberi vibrasi. Caranya pada kotak 'Vibrato' pilih salah satu jenis vibrasi misalnya 'Sine Wave'. Dan geser slider ke nilai sekitar 1000. Playback lagi track audio ini. Anda akan mendengar vokal yang sebelumnya tidak vibrasi sekarang ada vibrasinya. Menggunakan 'Automatic Mode' ini sangat mudah, hanya dengan mengatur beberapa

parameter Anda sudah mendapatkan hasil yang diinginkan. Cobalah modus ini pada track vokal komposisi milik Anda

dan rasakan perbedaannya. Ingat ! Anda harus mengeset nada dasar dan tangganada Auto-tune sesuai dengan Anda. GRAPHICAL MODE Modus ini hampir sama dengan 'Automatic Mode'. Perbedaannya pitch yang dideteksi bukan dibandingkan dengan suatu tangganada spt pada 'Automatic Mode' tetapi dengan grafik yang dapat Anda

gambar. Pada modus ini, semakin tinggi pitchnya, semakin tinggi posisinya dalam gambar. Seting nada dasar dan

tangganada pada 'Graphical Mode' ini diatur pada 'Automatic Mode'. Dengan menggunakan track audio spt pada

penjelasan 'Automatic Mode', ikuti langkah-langkah berikut : Sebelum Anda pindah ke 'Graphical Mode', aturlah

tangganada / scale dan nada dasar / Key pada 'Automatic Mode'. Untuk 'Scale' pilih tangganada mayor dan 'Key' nada C. Jangan lupa untuk menonaktifkan mode vibrasi dari latihan sebelumnya. Seting 'Retune' tetap pada posisi Pindahlah ke 'Graphical Mode' dengan menekan tombol 'G' pada bagian 'Correction Mode' untuk menampilkan kotak

dialog berikut ini : Klik tombol 'Track Pitch' dan tekan tombol 'Play' pada Cakewalk. Auto-tune akan mendeteksi vokal tersebut dan menampilkannya pada gambar berikut ini : Bagian atas adalah hasil deteksi pitch bahwa vokal tersebut pitchnya disekitar nada C2 tetapi dengan grafik turun lalu naik yang menandakan nada yang atau tidak tepat di garis C2. Sedangkan bagian bawah adalah gambar gelombang suara / waveform yang dideteksi

pitchnya. Klik tombol untuk mengaktifkan 'line tool' lalu gambarkanlah garis lurus pada garis C2 sepanjang data tersebut. Caranya klik satu kali pada awal data vokal, geser ke kanan dan akhiri dengan mengklik dua kali pada data vokal. Hasilnya spt berikut ini : Kembali ke posisi awal track vokal pada Cakewalk dengan menekan 'Rewind' lalu tekan tombol 'Play'. Kalau terdengar vokal tsb seperti belum dikoreksi, ulangi lagi playback dari awal,

biasanya setelah dua kali playback, Auto-tune akan memperbaiki vokal tersebut dan hasilnya adalah nada C2 yang

tidak fals. Untuk latihan, klik tombol 'Select All' dan klik tombol 'Cut'. Grafik yang Anda buat akan dihapus. tombol dan gambarkanlah garis menaik ke atas spt berikut ini : Kembali ke posisi awal track vokal tekan tombol 'Play' (kalau hasilnya masih sama, coba rewind lagi dan tekan tombol play untuk kedua kalinya). Apa

yang terjadi ? Auto-tune akan mengubah vokal tersebut menjadi vokal yang pitch naik perlahan-lahan dari C2 ke Pada 'Graphical Mode' ini ternyata Anda dapat mengubah pitch dari track vokal menjadi sesuai keinginan Anda dengan

cara menggambar grafiknya walaupun sebelumnya penyanyinya tidak pernah menyanyikan nada-nada tersebut.

Memang menggunakan 'Graphical Mode' ini lebih memakan waktu lama karena Anda harus mengetahui notasi lagu

tetapi modus ini memungkinkan Anda mengedit suatu track vokal secara lebih detail. Agaknya 'Graphical Mode' ini

dapat Anda gunakan apabila 'Automatic Mode' tidak dapat mengakomodasi keinginan Anda. PENUTUP Plug-ini juga sering digunakan untuk menghasilkan efek vokal spt yang terdapat pada lagu Dewi Sandra - 'Tak Ingin

Lagi', Indra Lesmana - 'Aku Ingin' atau Cher - 'Believe'. Bagaimana caranya ? Saya serahkan Anda untuk

bereksperimen dengan Auto-tune ini. Intinya Auto-tune dapat melakukan trik tsb. Selain digunakan untuk vokal, plug-Auto-tune ini dapat digunakan untuk instrumen musik solo spt bass guitar, saxophone, violin dsb. Antares Audio

Technologies juga mengeluarkan versi hardware dari Auto-tune yaitu Antares Vocal Producer AV1.

Dengan kesamaan itu, kami berobsesi untuk menyatukan basic musik kami dalam satu band yaitu AN_na. Nama band ini kami ambil dari nama Vokalis kami sendiri ( Aan Permana ) yang di singkat menjadi AN_na. Dengan formasi awal Aan ( Vokal ), Arya ( Gitar ), Galih ( Gitar ), Rino Meva ( Bass ), ilend (drum ), Dodi Dafmen ( keyboard ). Dengan formasi ini, kami bermusik di jalur Pop Rock komersil. Karena kesibukan tiap personil, Formasi awal ini hanya bertahan 5 bulan dengan pengunduran diri dari Rino ( Bass ) kembali ke MEVA dan Dodi ( keyboard ) di rekrut oleh Daftar Menu ( R ‘n B ). Kemudian AN_na coba tetap road to stage dengan 4 personil lama di Bantu Dreda ( add-bassis ). Karena kembalinya Galih ( Gitaris ) ke dalam musik top 40 café, maka AN_na tersisa 3 personil dan 1 add-bass.

Akhirnya, 1 tahun di umur AN_na, kami merekrut Dreda ( add-bass ) sebagai personil tetap AN_na. Sampai saat ini, AN_na tetap berjalan dengan formasi 4 personil yaitu, Aan ( Vokal ), Arya ( Gitar ), Dreda ( Bass ), ilend

( Drum ).

Penyebaran AIDS

Penyebaran AIDS di Indonesia Tercepat di Asia

Indonesia merupakan negara dengan penyebaran human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) dan acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) tercepat di Asia. Metode penyebaran virus mematikan itu di Indonesia tidak hanya melalui hubungan seksual, tapi juga melalui penggunaan jarum suntik narkotika yang terus meningkat di kalangan remaja.

Utusan dan Penasihat Khusus Sekretaris Jenderal PBB untuk masalah HIV/AIDS di Asia Pasifik Nafis Sadik mengatakan, penyebaran HIV di Indonesia dapat ditekan saat jumlah orang yang terinfeksi masih sedikit. "Berdasarkan pengalaman di negara Asia lainnya, jika situasi bertambah buruk akan semakin sulit dikontrol," kata Nafis di Jakarta, Jumat (8/2).

Menurut dia, diperlukan kerja sama dengan beberapa pihak, termasuk pemuka agama, untuk melakukan gerakan mencegah penyebaran HIV di Indonesia. Dia mencontohkan, para pemimpin agama di Bangadesh, Pakistan, dan negara Asia lain juga memberikan dukungan untuk program pencegahan AIDS. "Mereka juga setuju untuk penggunaan kondom bagi kaum muda," kata utusan khusus PBB kelahiran Pakistan itu.

Nafis menambahkan, program penanggulangan dan pencegahan AIDS harus didukung oleh semua negara yang rawan penyebaran HIV. Beberapa negara yang sudah menyepakati program tersebut antara lain Kenya, Zimbabwe, Senegal, Kamboja, danVietnam.

Menurut Nafis, pemerintah harus ketat menjalankan program agresif untuk mencegah penyebaran AIDS. Hal itu harus dilakukan sebagai upaya menghapus stigma dan diskriminasi terhadap pengidap AIDS. "Di Sinegal terdapat kebijakan yang lebih difokuskan pada PSK (pekerja seks komersial). Hal itu bisa juga dilakukan di negara lain."

Nafsiah Mboi, Sekretaris Komis Penanggulan AIDS (KPA) Nasional, menyatakan sampai akhir September 2007 Departemen Kesehatan melaporkan penambahan pasien AIDS secara kumulatif dari 2.190 orang menjadi 10.384 orang. "Informasi ini masih mengkonfirmasi tingginya laju pertambahan jumlah infeksi baru, di mana Indonesia sekarang tercatat sebagai negara dengan epidemi AIDS tercepat di Asia," katanya.

Menurut data KPA, sejak tahun 2000 epidemi HIV sudah mencapai tahap terkonsentrasi pada beberapa subpopulasi berisiko tinggi, yaitu pengguna narkotika suntik, wanita pekerja seks komersial, dan waria. Sedangkan di Provinsi Papua, penyebaran HIV umumnya melalui hubungan seksual berisiko pada masyarakat umum.

Berdasarkan data PBB, per 20 November 2007 tingkat penyebaran HIV di dunia cenderung stabil. Pada tahun 2007 diperkirakan 33,2 juta juta orang terinfeksi virus berbahaya itu. "Walaupun jumlah penderita baru telah menurun, 5.700 orang meninggal akibat HIV setiap hari," ujarnya

Menurut Nafsiah, remaja berusia 15-24 tahun merupakan populasi masyarakat paling berisiko terinfeksi HIV. Berdasarkan perkiraan jumlah populasi rawan terinfeksi HIV tahun 2006, 52% korban infeksi HIV akibat penggunaan narkotika suntik, 45% PSK, dan 31% terjadi pada waria dan homo seksual. "Di tahun 2007 jumlah korban infeksi baru HIV terbesar pada kelompok usia 15-19 tahun."

Selama berkunjung di Indonesia, Nafis Sadik berencana bertemu dengan Duta AIDS Indonesia Ani Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Ketua KPA Aburizal Bakrie, Menteri Kesehatan Siti Fadila Supari, Menteri Pemberdayaan Perempuan Meutia Hatta, dan anggota Dewan Badan Koordinasi Keluarga Berencana Nasional Sugiri Syarif.

sekilas tentang andra and the backbone

Proyek Andra and The Backbone sebenarnya sudah terpendam cukup lama di benak andra. Namun baru secara intensif dilakukan pada Juni 2006, memanfaatkan kevakuman Dewa. Konsep rock yang tegas menjadi karakter utama andra and the backbone. Krena andra melihat band semacam ini sangat jarang di Indonesia.

“Band – band yang ada sekarang ini lebih ke arah mellow. Aku berusaha bikib rock yang nadanya pop banget, orang orang bias menyanyikannya, meskipun musiknya kencang,” jelas andra yakin.

Embel – embel “The Backbone” sendiri dipilih Andra gara – gara gitaris yang kelahiran Surabaya, 17 Juni 1972 ini mempunyai masalah dengan tulang punggungnya. “Aku sering diolok personel Dewa yang lain, ‘awas, punggungnya…hehehe. Jadi pikir – pikir seru juga nih “the Backbone”. Dan Artinya sendiri cukup bagus, orang nggak bisa tegak tanpa ada tulang belakang. Kerenlah!” papar Andra memperjelas.

hellogoodbye carrier

Early career (2001–2003)

Hellogoodbye started in 2001 as a recording project by Huntington Beach High School students Forrest Kline and Erik Fingar. With the interest only to entertain friends and woo crushes, Kline and friend Jesse Kurvink recorded some songs on Forrest's home computer. The first hellogoodbye song ever written was Kurvink's "Bonnie Taylor Shakedown (2001)" which later appeared on their debut Self-Titled EP. With Kline's interest in web and graphic design, the unofficial group got a working title, a website, and posted mp3's on MP3.com. As interest in the music grew, Kline and Kurvink recruited friends and chanced upon some opening slots at local shows.

In the first 2 years the group played local shows in Orange County at venues like Chain Reaction (Anaheim), The Hub (Fullerton), and Koo's Cafe (Santa Ana), made a few trips to play in Arizona, and did one mini-tour through AZ, NM, and TX with the band Peachcake. During this time they kept busy burning demos, screen printing tee-shirts and promoting via their website before signing to Drive-Thru Records in 2003.

The lineup went through a few changes before signing to Drive-Thru. Parker Case (who was in orange county's "Astoria" at the time, but would later form the now defunct JamisonParker and is currently a member of Say Anything) started out playing drums but was quickly replaced by Aaron Flora (occasionally of the band Throwdown and who currently plays in Northern) (member 2001-2003). Paul White (who currently plays with the band "The Deepsea Goes") (member 2001-2002) was the original bassist, but quit and was soon replaced by Marcus Cole (member 2002-2007). after signing to Drive-Thru Records, drummer Aaron Flora left to go to college and was replaced by current drummer Chris Profeta (formerly of A Cutthroat Kiss). Most Recently, bassist Marcus Cole left the band to be replaced by long time buddy Travis Head.

Hellogoodbye EP (2004–2006)

After Signing in 2003, Hellogoodbye released a Self-Titled EP on August 17, 2004, which has sold over 400k copies to date. The band began touring vigorously in support of this release in the U.S. and abroad. During the "Sounds of Change Tour" with An Angle, Socratic and Steel Train, Hellogoodbye flipped and totalled their van and trailer after Cole dozed off behind the wheel while driving through Pennsylvania on October 22, 2004. None of the band's members were injured. An archive of the bands touring history is maintained at http://www.hellogoodbye.net/tour/?go=archives and includes tours with the All-American Rejects, Motion City Soundtrack, Panic at the Disco etc.

While participating in 2005's South by Southwest, a music festival in Austin, Texas, the band appeared on several episodes of MTV's The Real World: Austin. The cast of the TV series produced a video documentary about three bands on the festival's line-up (the other two being Halifax and Enon), including interviews and live footage. The appearance gave a boost to the band's popularity.

November 22, 2005, Hellogoodbye released a DVD titled OMG HGB DVD ROTFL. It featured two hours of concert and touring footage, as well as music videos to the five songs off their debut EP. Following the release, the group was also featured on the third and fourth installment of the Drive-Thru Records DVD series. In December 2005, the band won MTV2's Dew Circuit Breakout, competing as Los Angeles' representative against New York City and Chicago finalists Pete Miser and Tub Ring. The prize included $10,000 cash, a set of Gibson equipment and an opening slot on an upcoming major U.S. tour.

Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! (2006–present)

After two years of touring Hellogoodbye released its first full length record, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs!, on August 8, 2006 via Drive-Thru Records. In 2006, Hellogoodbye appeared on the Vans Warped Tour, did a full headlining tour with Reggie and The Full Effect & Ozma, visited the UK (with the Plain White Tees) and Japan as well as much of Europe. In 2007, they continued touring, doing a headlining tour with Boys Like Girls, a tour of Australia with Australian band The Lucksmiths, played the main stage of The Bamboozle in New Jersey, headlined the side stage at Give It a Name 2007, played the Reading and Leeds Festivals as well as European festivals Pukklelpop, Rock en Sein, and more. On the MySpace Music Tour (co-headlining with Say Anything) and in the January 2007 issue of Alternative Press magazine the group confirmed their new record will come out in 2008.

In January 2007, the single "Here (In Your Arms)" saw a resurgence on Top 40 radio and entered the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at #14) and the Pop 100 (peaking at #9).[1] The single is now certified Platinum. In the same month, they also appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Last Call with Carson Daly. Their song "Oh, It is Love" became the theme song on MTV's Engaged and Underage. On March 13, 2007, they released an iTunes exclusive three-song EP, which features three different remixes of the song "All of Your Love".

The band is currently writing and recording a new record at their home studio in Long Beach, CA which is scheduled to come out sometime this year.
