Music Gear - Equipment @ EzineArticles.com Bare Bones Rock Band Equipment by Kathy UnruhDJ Equipment Prices by Richard Romando - Music makes the world go round and people would lead monotonous lives were it not for this great gift. Music does not need to be dissected and comprehended to be appreciated. It simply carries people off in rhythm and melody to a land where the imagination rules and the laws of this world are no longer applicable.
Guitar Amplifiers - Which Amplifier Is Right For You by Ilse Hagen - When shopping for an amp, you usually have four options: tube, solid state, digital, and hybrid. While the last two are certainly more high-tech, newer isn’t always better when it comes to amps. Each type has its own advantages, and it all comes down to your budget and personal preference.
The Basic PA System by Bill McRea - PA systems (aka live sound) range from those that put out just a few watts like those for addressing a large boardroom to the mega systems that put out tens of thousands of watts like those that are used for mega music events in stadia. Whatever the PA system is, the basic need that it fills is that of getting sound out to a lot more people. This should be without altering or downgrading the quality of the original sound as much as possible.
So you Want to Buy A Guitar Amp by Bill McRea - Yes, you have a great electric guitar but that's not all about it. You need to buy a great guitar amp. Nothing can really replace a guitar amp. Yes, you can plug your guitar into the general PA system and still get acceptable sound but wait until you hear the same guitar plugged into a guitar amp. Just like guitars, guitar amps come in different sizes and prices. You can get a decent guitar amp for less than $200. At the same time, there are amps that will cost you a few thousand dollars.
Selecting the Right Home Theater Equipment by John Griese - Ah!! There's not much like the thrill of seeing the latest Hollywood blockbuster on the big screen! Excitement fills the air as the house lights dim
Electric Guitar Technology 101 by Kenny Auyoung - It is a curious paradox of the music industry: guitarists, particularly rock guitarists, are often thought of as trendsetters when it comes to fashion and culture; but when it comes to their instruments, they are notoriously conservative. Innovations such as active electronics, guitar synthesizers and Steinberger’s intrepid steps into the field of headless instruments in the 80’s have failed to make much of a dent in the market.
Guitar Effects Make Playing Guitar Cool by Bill McRea - Guitars without effects? Man, that would be like houses without paints and trees without leaves. Can you imagine those heart wrenching "wahs" that almost bring tears to your eyes? So, we all know the importance of guitar effects. What most people don't know is what to consider when they buy guitar effects.
Buying Drum Kits by Bill McRea - If keeping the time and setting the groove is your thing, then you need drum kits to help you get them thumping their feet. If you're already making them thump their feet, then you already know what you need. This one is for those who are new to drumming.

Recording on a Budget Part 1: The Equipment - by Scott Hysell - So, you've written and perfected a bunch of original songs and you're ready to lay them down in a permanent form.

As with most things complicated, the recording process can be broken down into a series of steps and concepts that are relatively easy to understand.
The "Live" Technique - by A-J Charron - Until (fairly) recently, many bands recorded their first albums (and almost all recorded their demos) this way. A-J takes us through a very busy weekend of recording. This is a great way for the band-on-a-budget to make a recording in a professional studio.

Recording With Your Own Money (Without a Producer) - by A-J Charron - So you've decided it's time to record an album, yet you have no label backing you.

They just need to put it into production and onto the store tablets.

The person that can talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere, and about anything, and do it well. It is my job to make contact, keep in contact, and keep the contact happy. This involves many things, please, allow me to explain.
The Importance of a Contract - by Lesa Taylor McCabe - August 19, 2002 - When you and a club have decided that you and your band are the perfect match, dates are settled on, price is negotiated, the next step is to put all this in writing. This is for the protection of both parties.
How To Advertise Yourself and Your Band - by Lesa Taylor McCabe - The "Life Blood" of a band, any band, is advertising!! I'm sure you have heard the saying "Any press, even bad press, is good." Why?

Song Dynamics - by Joe Benedetto - Song dynamics, you ask? Yes. In my opinion, this is what separates the men FROM the boys and the women FROM the girls. I know we are all guilty of it: playing at one volume that is loud or playing above the rest of the mix
Telephone Skills - by Joe Benedetto - The other night as I was drifting off to sleep I started to think. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed about all the auditions and long phone calls that never panned out.

One Minute of Fame - by Mab O'Connor
