One of the most effective ways to learn to sing from the comfort of your own home is by using vocal training software such as Singorama or Singing Success.

The type of singing software that’s best for your really depends a lot on your personal preferences in terms of style and what you want to achieve with your singing.

Since you’ve probably never really tried using singing software to learn to sing, I’ll give you a brief rundown of a few of the most popular vocal training software programs out there and how they differ.

Singorama is a very comprehensive piece of singing software. It consists of almost 30 audio lessons that cover everything from basics such as reading and writing music to much more complex concepts like singing in harmony and songwriting.

Singorama includes a free mini recording studio and a computer game to help you improve your intonation (aka your pitch).

Download free audio books for your mp3 player

Posted on 17th January 2012 in Music Software

I personally love reading but I just don’t have the time with my tight schedule. That’s why I decided to switch to audio books. Audio books are narrated books that you just need to listen and enjoy. There are thousands of audio books on the internet that you can download and listen. They can be put on any mp3 player and cell phones with mp3 support. All you need to do for getting audio books on you player or computer is to search the internet and find a reliable source of audio books.

I found one of those sources that offers enormous amount of audio books and instead of paying per download you pay a small amount for a lifetime membership and all the audio books are available for downloading. They offer books in many genres like sci-fi, religion, paranormal, self help books and many, many more.

Bestsellers like the Twilight saga, Harry Potter, the entire John Grisham collection and many more bestselling authors and novels are provided. Apart from audio books you can get internet radio streaming that comes with the membership and also you can download your favorite music artists, albums and singles. What is more, you can download wallpapers for your mobile device or iPod touch. Click here to read more.. »

Multitrack Recording Software Impressions: FL Studio

Posted on 7th January 2012 in Music Software

When you start looking for a multitrack recording software, you’ll often come across „FL Studio”. This topic is very controversial, some people will say it’s the best program they ever used, some other will tell you that it’s absolutely unprofessional and only the biggest amateurs use software like that. But I have to say I’ve been using it for years now and I’m very satisfied with the outcome. The first time I got in touch with this software was about 6 years ago when I looked for something to make my own beats to rap over, so I downloaded a demo version. I didn’t know about drum samples and how to make melodies, so I cut out some drum- and percussion-sounds out of instrumentals and sampled melodies from old songs from Billy Holiday. Back then this was really cool for me and my friends because no one of us knew how to make music by ourselves.

Sometimes I hear over the old beats and become embarassed. Everything has changed. Now I have thousands of drum packs, I can edit the characteristics of the sounds and I have synthesizers I can program completely new sounds for. You probably think it was hard work learning all this. Well it wasn’t! This stuff is easy as pie. Take the synthesizer plugin „BLUE” from Rob Papen for example: you have six oscillators to create the synth sound. Try it out, download a demo and play around with the different knobs and settings, you’ll see what I mean. Plus, this is really fun for me! I love these new sounds and the best part, it matches my style. When using presets, the music never sounds as I want it to. Click here to read more.. »
