Music Articles and Reviews

Instrumental music has not been known as a very popular style in recent times. Although it is a very broad category of music, in general, you can still see that most pop music today has vocals and lyrics, and the singer is often more heralded than the instrumentalist. There are many reasons for this, and some of them do not have a lot to do with the music, but there are some characteristics of vocal pop that you can employ to make better instrumental music.

Having high quality studio monitors for mixing and mastering is no big secret, any audio professional or enthusiast will tell you, but it is worth repeating and explaining again.

Studio monitors are not necessarily made to make music sound good, although a well recorded and mixed album will sound very good through them. They are made to reveal all the details of recorded sound; this means the good ones and the bad. The point of having monitors, as opposed to regular speakers, is to be able to tell when music is improperly mixed. Regular listening speakers have a habit of making everything sound at least pretty good and hiding little faults or poor quality sound samples.
