How to Use Automation in Music Production
The beauty of digital technology in music production is the simple fact that we can save our work in any condition at any time and recall them in the exact same settings as when we left off (a fact I’m sure many musicians and engineers take for granted). Another benefit is the use of automation: that is we can automate parameters within our music production software. Most of the major software allow full automation of virtually all parameters, therefore placing the limit on our creativity alone.
Automation maybe a feature that many musicians pay little attention too, especially those who are just starting out. At first, automation may seem like a tedious job, and can be a major turn-off since it isn’t the most intuitive thing to do. But proficiency using automation in our music production, whether in the music arrangement stage or the mixing stage, will allow us to explore creative avenues otherwise blocked if we neglect automation.

Few Guitar Buying Tips
Learning to play a music instrument such as a guitar can be a wonderful experience. The learning process can provide hours of fun and personal enjoyment and at the same time allow you to play your favorite tune. If you love playing guitar and are looking to buy the instrument, here are some essential tips that you can use to make the right choice.
Tip number 1 is to determine whether you want to play an acoustic guitar or an electric one. There are huge differences between the two kinds of guitars and your decision should be based on the type of music you want to play. If you are more interested in rock music, the best type of guitar for you would be an electric one. However, if you are interested in folk music or classical music, then an acoustic guitar would be the best choice for you.
Acoustic guitars are more suitable for beginners and they are less expensive as well. Moreover, these are portable and can be carried and played anywhere.
Sound Mechanism and Components of a Synthesizer
Different instruments produce sound due to different mechanisms. As regards to flute when the air is blown inside a hollow pipe Timbre, Pitch and Volume of a Synthesizer, which has openings around it, through which the air comes out, sound is produced. For a string instrument like violin or guitar the strings are oscillated to generate the sound.
In case of acoustic instruments something must be moved or resonated for sounds to be created. A synthesizer can imitate sound of any instrument. But they do not create direct sounds. They produce electric-signals. Hence, there is the need to attach headphones or speakers to hear the sound created; otherwise nothing will be audible. CD-players also work like this way; the sounds are inaudible unless there is an output device.
Synthesizers are different from the examples mentioned above; so are the components of synthesizer.
