Feature articles, lessons and tutorials on audio and music

The present article closes the mini-series we started with article 39 focusing on the use of voicings within the most common cadences. And we'll finish studying voicings based on added-tone chords looking at the interrupted cadence and rhythm changes. Let's go!

Second part dedicated to trying to solve the question of whether you should record an electric guitar with or without effects.

Today we'll tackle a rather delicate topic: Should you record with or without effects?

With this article we close the chapter on voicings within the framework of cadences by seeing how you can add tones to the cadence chords in the previous articles.

Today we will discuss direct recording an electric guitar.

Oh, the sound of tape! That "something" that so many people miss in digital recordings. Although there are plug-ins that do just that...

Today we'll go once again over what we saw in articles 34 and 36 regarding voice-leading according to cadence, exploring in detail voice movements in relation to the most common cadences.
