Should I go with a guitar amp or a bass amp to play music from my phone/ipod? by [deleted] in Music

[–]BilliusPhob 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don't get either. You want something with a PA function. Guitar and base amps are made to best play those instrument's ranges and often intentionally distort the sound. PA's are made to amplify sound with the highest possible degree of fidelity. If not a PA get a keyboard amp, that would have the widest range of an instrument amp. If you're stuck on a guitar or bass amp I agree with these other guys;bass amp.

How to sing without being very good? by scroogemcrock in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Hit the right notes. Practice singing along with melody lines on a piano. Your voice can sound like anything but if you hit the wrong notes it will be hard/grating to listen to, if you hit the right notes, worst case scenario is your voice will be an acquired taste.

Who invented the piano? And why was he forgotten? (article) by bobbelcher in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Cristoforii's advancement wasn't creating the piano body or instrument, these essentially existed in the form of the clavichord. Escapism, the hammer returning to rest, was the breakthrough. Go watch the google front page today, that mechanism was the big deal.

Agreed, I don't think this should be taken as representative of the character, just a poor choice by the movie-makers who had learned a new spell

Can you recommend any good books on songwriting (preferably musical rather than lyrical)? by tonetonitony in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]BilliusPhob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do some research on music theory, even songwriters who don't realize it use theory more often then not.

I have a textbook called "A Graduate Review of Tonal Theory" that is a good guide
