How can I start producing electronic music?
I'm not an accomplished producer by any means, but here's my advice:Don't get too caught up with which software / tools to use. There's no shame in starting with something inexpensive and user friendly like Garage Band, Reason or Ableton. You don't need Logic and hardware synths to make good music.I've heard accomplished producers (Cladue Von Stroke in particular) say that a great way to learn how to produce is to recreate your favorite tracks. This may sound boring and non-creative, but it teaches you how to make your music sound the way you want it to (the hardest part for me).A huge part of making electronic music (particularly dance music) is mastering (adjusting levels and eq'ing each instrument). A great way to do this is to keep another artist's track that you like on hand or even in your project. That way you can constantly compare so you remember what good music sounds like.Invest in some good studio monitors headphones or speakers. Listen to your tracks on a variety of audio systems.Finish tracks, release often and constantly seek feedback. A lot of people (myself included) tend to be overly perfectionist and have a ton of unfinished projects. I find I rarely return to these unfinished projects and don't learn nearly as much from them.Make sure to have fun! Don't stress about it or put pressure on yourself.
Why is electronic dance music ruining other genres of music like rock and pop?
Urge for novelty and social and cultural forces.Nowadays the "teen" market, that since the rise of pop music feeds and determines the trends and tastes in their domains, have their grounds in a world where technology is present virtually everywhere.Besides the desire to make a change and put some distance from the older generations, the way they perceive and interact with the world is diferent:the model of the rock n roll way of life is no longer appealing for the young generations and also the daily and cultural / aesthetics manifestations, here the music, have their own material circumstances.Think that, when a digital native thinks about a book, his first thought is the digital, electronic format; only after comes to mind the paper format.I suppose when it comes to music the reasoning is the same: what is close to them and distant from the previous generation with a perceived feeling of novelty will be chosen.We might add that the thougt of some laborious work in order to achieve some kind of thecnical proficiency in a musical instrument is not pleasant for the generation of the 'here and now'.With electronic devices it's easyer and they are used to it: born and raised whith them around.The dance music apparently is the form of musical expression more suitable to aggregate what has been said.Oh, I don't know if it's important but the substances are diferent.
What are the pros and cons of giving up all electronic devices for like a period of time?
Pros would be that you could untimitley do way more things in that time that you didn't do anything productive. Electronics have this weird way of sucking up time. It's crazy! Or more like they suck you in. Giving them up would be staying in the reality world! Time would go slower, at least it would feel like it would. Not to mention your eyes would thank you and probably your back if you hunch over on the computer and your brain if you talk on the cell phone a lot. Also you could see your friends in PERSON and go out and meet real people other than just online, talkign to screen names.. Cons would be that there is some sort of withdrawl.. You may feel the urge to go on the computer and for someone who spends a lot of time on the internet, they may feel like there is absolutley NOTHIGN to do and they are just sitting there.. (which isn't true!) You'd have to go look things up in the dictionary, or get out books about a subject, which seems SO old fashioned! You couldn't really answer the questions you have like BOOM BOOM BOOM. You'd have to work for them! (which can be good and bad) But sometimes it's good to use yoru phone! To talk to people who you can't see other wise, and I mean a little fun on the internet or whatever isn't gonna hurt you. And ipod?? Music is great! So all around I think giving up electronics would be awful but so would being on them too much. I think moderation is key! You want to do stuff in the real world, and accomplish things.. not get to the next level. when someone says the awesomest thing you've done, make it be awesome! :D
Do Electronic Cigarettes show up on nicotine drug test?
There are two type of electronic cigarette. One with nicotine and one without nicotine If you are smoking the one without nicotine (for people who are trying to quit), you won't have nicotine in the blood stream and you will be able to pass the test Usually nicotine persists in the body for 2-4 days but in some cases it may also last for a few months. However, in the case of passive smoking the nicotine remains in the body for a long time. The presence of nicotine is usually detected in the urine, blood, and hair follicle through medical tests.
Why do I have the strong urge of sex since a little girl?
So I've always asked myself this: Why, since I've been a little girl, having the the strong urge of having sex? Once, when I was about barely in 1st or 2nd grade, I believe it was 2nd grade, I came home from school. I tuned on the tv and then passed channel by channel and bam, I see porn. And I liked it. I would get soo hypnotized with it. And when my parents would take me to work along with my brothers. I would stay inside the car listening to music and I would start playing with myself. Still same grade and everything, so I was like what, 6-7 years old? Then around 5th grade I started to use "sexy clothes", which were skirts. I mostly used skirts for guys to chase me. And a lot would. And after school, I would go straight to my dads work and I would see his friend and always thought he was cute. And he was like 40 years old if anything. Yuck! My sisters friend would flirt with me, but nothing would ever happen. And I remember once a girl kissing me, we once took a shower together. Naked. We were best friends. And she kissed me and then she just lift me up and hugged me and bam. Then she stopped and asked her to do it again. And we would after take shower constantly together. So what the hell is wrong with me? Since a little girl. I understand maybe 5th grade, cause that's when you start realizing and seeing more stuff. But 2nd grade?! Wow. And even playing with myself? Sometimes i feel that something went around my childhood that I don't remember of? And even aiming for the older men. I still aim for them but not OLD. I'm currently 19 years old and I wouldn't go out with a go more than 24+ only 19-24. Please. Only serious answers!
