Amp It Up: 4 Ways To Increase The Gain On Your Next Performance Posted: 15 Mar 2018 09:36 AM PDT A huge part of performing is playing to your audience. Many musicians make the mistake of solely focusing on the craft of the music. Practice does make perfect, but here are some other ways that you can increase the gain on your performance. Practice Your RoleIf you’re playing as a group, make sure to understand your role. Practice together so that you look like a cohesive group. The music can only carry you so far when you’re performing. The visual effect that you have on the audience can make it more memorable. Assign tasks to each member of the group when you’re on stage. This way you won’t be interrupting each other or come off sounding flat. Make sure to coordinate your outfits so that you look like a band. Check Your SoundAnother part of creating a memorable performance is to have good sound. A sound check prior to your performance is crucial. This is your last opportunity to tweak anything that doesn’t sound right. Make sure to place your equipment in the right places so that you can boast the experience. Use an extension cord, like those available from Americord, so that your equipment can be where you need it. After you have everything set, don’t mess with it. You don’t want to throw off the hard work that went into perfecting the sound for the audience. Use the Right EquipmentThe right equipment is critical for you to increase your gain. There is a difference between gain and volume. They may be interrelated, but just increasing the volume won’t make it sound better. You need the right mix so that you don’t sound distorted when you’re projecting to your audience. A good mixer can help you to get the level that you want. You have to increase your signal performance without sounding digitized. Focus on the MusicYour audience is there to see you perform. Don’t waste so much effort on the visual aspects of the performance that you forget about the music itself. Make sure to not have the music so loud that you can’t be heard. If your audience wanted to just listen to the music, they could do that at home. This is where having the right equipment in the right places is going to pay off. You have more control over how your performance is received. Performing is its own art form. Use these tips to help you increase your gain. Making great music is a lot of fun, so be sure to put your whole heart and soul into every practice and performance. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Band Relocation: How To Change Your Music Headquarters Posted: 14 Mar 2018 01:27 PM PDT If you have a band, chances are you’re going to have to chance practice spaces at least once during the act’s lifetime. When it does come time to move to a new space, there are several things you need to do to make that move successful. Here are four of the most important things to keep in mind when changing your band’s musical headquarters. Acoustics of the New SpaceThe single most important factor in choosing a place for your band to practice is the space’s acoustic quality. If your space echoes too much, your music will never sound good, making it hard to actually improve your performance. This factor is doubly important if you plan for your practice space to double as your recording studio. Accessibility to Band MembersWhen you move into a new practice space, you want to make sure it’s someplace that all of your band members can get to relatively easily. Try to find a practice space that is centrally located and that doesn’t involve too much travel time to get to. If it takes band members too long to get to the practice location, it will likely cut into your rehearsal time. AffordabilityJust like moving to a new house, moving your band to a new practice location will involve some expenses. If you’re renting the location, be sure that your band’s finances will allow you to make the payment each month without having to dip financially burden individual members. If the space is too expensive for your band to afford out of its earnings from gigging and music sales, consider looking for something more reasonably priced. Arranging the Logistics of MovingWhen you’ve found a perfect space, there’s still the matter of actually moving to be handled. Moving instruments requires a truck with a substantial capacity and movers who know what they’re doing. If you’re going to hire a moving company such as Affordable Moving Company, be sure they’re of high quality and will be careful with your instruments and equipment. You should also be sure to pack everything carefully since even with the best movers your instruments will get buffeted around somewhat during the process of being moved. With these four things in mind, you can find and move into the perfect new practice space for your band. Soon, you and your fellow musicians will be rehearsing in a great new space that can accommodate your needs better than the one you have now.
