I absolutely adore cymbals. You could even say they're a bit of an obsession of mine. I personally own over 125 of them and use 50 cymbals on one kit and 53 on another. The variety of brands that I've played over my 40 year career include Paiste, Zildjian, Sabian, and Wuhan.

While cymbals have been around for roughly 5,000 years, there unfortunately have been some popular misunderstandings about these majestic instruments that continue to this day.

So with truth in mind, it's time to do some myth-busting! Below are a couple of the more popular ones that I've heard the most:

1. "Cymbals shouldn't be played right after being exposed to prolonged temperature extremes."

Lots of drummers say that you should make sure that your cymbals become acclimated to room temperature before playing them if they've been stored in extreme conditions. The reason for doing this is the fear that the cymbals will break.

This myth simply is not true.

Cymbals are amazingly durable in terms of the temperatures that they can withstand. Given that they were manufactured at high temperatures of roughly 1,500 degrees F, it's really only at that kind of heat that would harm a cymbal. At real world conditions (even -20 degrees F or 115 degrees F), we are not even beginning to approach that level of extreme heat or cold. So if they're stored overnight in your vehicle in sub-zero weather or they've been baking in your non air conditioned attic all summer long, your cymbals will be just fine to play once you unpack them and set them up.

2. "Over time, cymbals can deteriorate and wear-in through use, which affects their sound."

Cymbals don't really age, they just get soiled. What many drummers are hearing when they play an "aged" cymbal or one that they've owned and have been playing for a while is a continued buildup of dirt. It's this dirt - along with oils transferred from our hands during handling - that influences the sound, not the age of the cymbal or how long we've been playing on it.

In general, clean cymbals sound brighter and have more overtones, while dirty cymbals sound warmer and can be a bit drier. If you like more overtones, polish off your cymbals. Keep them free of fingerprints, stick marks, and grime. If you are a fan of warmer or darker sounding cymbals, don't clean them. I guarantee that over a period of time, they'll naturally accumulate some dirt from playing and handling, and produce a mellower type of timbre.

I had a recent talk with the great Steve Smith (Journey, Vital Information) about this very topic. He agrees with me, and also enjoys the vibe of mellower, darker, and drier-sounding cymbals for the type of music that he plays. Steve even jokingly remarked, "I wish someone would make some spray-on funk or dirt that you can apply to a brand-new cymbal to get it to sound like you've owned it a while!"

***

I'll share more cymbal myths in future installments of this information series. If there are any that you've heard about, or are confused/bothered by, feel free to get in touch with me, and I'll be happy to clear them up and steer you in the right direction!

In this two-part article, I'm going to offer some general guidelines to help you select the right drumheads that will match your specific needs.

Drumheads are one of the most crucial elements of your drum. The type of drumhead that you select will determine the overall sound that your drum will produce. By installing a new drumhead, you can bring a drum "back to life" by adding tone and projection that were lost by using a worn, old head. You can also enhance the sound of a less expensive drum by replacing its stock head with a new, professional-quality one.

Prior to the mid 1950s, drumheads were made of animal hides, like calfskin. This totally changed when the DuPont Company created a polyester film they called Mylar. By using this plastic film instead of an animal skin, drumhead manufacturers such as Remo and Evans made amazing sonic options possible for drummers while adding consistency in quality and tone that wasn't previously attainable. With calfskin heads, drummers had to deal with the frequent need to re-tune their drums due to weather and temperature fluctuations. Plastic drumheads pretty much eliminated this problem.

Today, plastic drumheads are utilized not just on drum sets but also on timpani, marching drums, and timbales, as well as hand drums like congas, bongos, djembes, darbukas, frame drums, surdos, pandeiros, doumbeks, tambourines, and caixas.

Number of Plies

The first thing to consider when selecting heads for your drum set is head weight. Single-ply drumheads offer a bright sound with longer resonance and sustain, while two-ply drumheads yield a darker, fatter sound with better durability. If you're a heavy hitter and want a lower, more controlled tone out of your drum, you may want to go with a 2-ply head. If you're a finessed player and want to hear more overtones, you might use a single-ply drumhead.

(NOTE: There are variations to this approach. For example, you might play heavy rock but prefer the sound that a single-ply head produces. I personally use single-ply drumhead and hit pretty hard - which means that I need to replace my drumheads more frequently than if I was using 2-ply drumheads.)

Other types of heads include:

Dot - This drumhead features an additional dot-shaped ply (approx. diameter 5") in the center. The dot can give you the durability of a two-ply head, but with a sound more like that of a single-ply head because only 1 layer of plastic sits on the drum's bearing edge. Drumhead companies like Remo, Evans, Aquarian, Ludwig, and Attack all produce their own versions of a head with a reinforcement dot.

Three-ply - Aquarian recently unveiled a three-ply drumhead for players who require the ultimate in durability. Obviously, this head produces an extremely dark and lower fundamental pitch.

Next week in Part Two, I'll go over drumhead muffling, coating, and bottom heads. In the meantime, if you have any questions or want specific guidance regarding your drumhead decisions or dilemmas, feel free to reach out. I'm always here to help!

Although the market is generally small, there are still people who look for old musical instruments to buy. Vintage saxophones are included in these antique instruments. If you are looking for one of these saxes to purchase, you should have some ideas of where to look and how to choose.

Similar to other collectible items, you may find a lot of sax listings online. As with any other online purchases, it is important to be cautious and thorough to avoid getting scammed. It may not always be possible to request authenticity or appraisal documents, so you need to ask questions. You should ask the seller specific information about the year it was made and the manufacturer. Request current pictures and find out if there is a written return agreement.

Gather information about the sax you want or are interested in buying. Learn the differences between counterfeit and genuine saxes. Educate yourself on the basics of a sax, down to the minor differences between year models. Compare alto and tenor saxes and how each one looks. These are important parts of weeding out the fakes from all the choices you have.

It is quite common to find antique saxes that have gone unused for awhile and have accumulated some dust. This can lead to damaged, non-working parts that affect the complete function of the sax. If you have the opportunity, physically examine each of the saxes you are considering. Certain parts may be irreplaceable or unrepairable and should not be broken or missing, such as the neck screw and octave pin.

Do some price checking before you buy the sax. Contact other collectors or experts to determine the actual value of the sax. If it seems that the seller is asking too much, you can try to negotiate for a lower price or just pass on the purchase and find another one that is in the right price range. After you have checked around for price averages, create a set amount to spend and stick to it.

Sellers should have experience with antique sales, minimally. Experience with selling antique instruments is preferred but not always possible. Credibility should be a huge factor. The Better Business Bureau is a good source for determining if a seller is credible and if there have been complaints made.

Sellers should have licensing and some kind of certification from a related organization. While this is not applicable for an individual person, dealers should have a proper business license for sales. Always ask for licensing information and verify it. Do not settle for excuses or vague answers when you request this information.

Buying an antique saxophone does not have to be confusing or stressful. If you take the time to learn a few things beforehand, you can spend more of your efforts on location the perfect sax at just the right price. A little knowledge can take you a long way.

Music and speech are both improved by a small amount of reverberation, but at higher levels it can make both seem annoying and garbled. The choir and sermon are an integral part of many services, but become meaningless when the congregation is unable to hear singing or distinguish words normally. Acoustic sound panels for churches focus amplified waves and natural vibrations, making them more meaningful and pleasant to listeners.

Although there are European cathedrals famous for their fantastic echoes, a fine dividing line separates noise from distortion. Echoes occur when the vibrations that make waves bounce repeatedly back and forth from hard, reflective surfaces. Some buildings are fortunate to include acoustic considerations in the original plans, but many churches today are housed in structures originally designed for other uses.

Even without the benefit of modern computer analysis, there have been several methods historically used to correct the problem. Some included the addition of ash to clay pots located at strategic points withing a room. They were moved about, and burnt material was added or removed to dampen specific reverberations. Support pillars that dominated some buildings were specifically altered, and stone blocks specially sized to inhibit echo.

Today, solutions range from installing carpeting in strategic areas to using high-tech electronic reverberation systems that create a variety of listening environments. Both are effective, but neither can completely solve echo or muffling problems that are actually a product of the original building design. For many structures, a mixture of methods that also emphasizes special flat baffles creates the best results.

These structures are not used to block or eliminate words or music, but rather to absorb unwanted excess, usually within a single room. Most incorporate the same basic design method, featuring an inner filling made of absorbent material, a frame, and a covering. The filling may consist of various synthetic foams or fiberglass, or may utilize newer, more environmentally friendly substances.

Their size depends the extent of the echo and distortion. Some are as small as four square feet, while others may be nearly wall-sized, and most solutions require combinations. No matter their dimensions, they allow vibrations to pass through the exterior material rather than bouncing off, and any waves that return are re-absorbed. This principle is the same one used by music studios to emphasize accuracy, and can be easily adapted to churches.

Far from appearing to be an industrial or high-tech intrusion, these structures easily blend with most modern church decors. They can mirror the patterns and colors of existing stained glass, or can tie a room together by adopting patterns or colors on existing walls and ceilings. While a plain baffle is not particularly attractive, in many cases they end up looking like a part of the intended interior design.

While it is possible to place these baffles in a hall with acoustic precision using sophisticated microphones and computers, the best method of making a final determination is simply by listening critically. What seems within acceptable range to a machine may not to a human ear. When installed properly, they do not inhibit high frequencies or decrease volume, but instead increase the clarity of both speech and music.

There is a reason many people are interested in learning this particular skill in this way. You will have the freedom to learn on your own schedule, rather than someone else's. If that is what you're interested in, this is the best way to go.

Lowering level of noise reflection is often needed both at home in and commercial houses. The main materials applied in doing this are well made acoustic sound panels which offer good cover designed from items that are not capable of reflecting noise. Usually, they are lined against the walls and roofs to cut down on reverberation and sound reflection. This, therefore, improves the intelligibility of sound. Points that apply this kind of knowledge are theaters, churches and studios that record music.

There exists a number of such panels and what to choose depends on the region and frequency of noise to work on. Varied resources are also applied in the design of these boards. Application of a variety of materials impacts on their efficiency, and as a result, their prices will also vary.

Among the products on the market today are wooden boards, auditorium grooves, decorative ceiling and wall panels, flock printing, cinema perforated noise proof boards, acoustic ceiling, fabric covered, polyester fiber, steel, and mineral panels. Each one of them has features that make them look nice through their decorations. They, therefore, serve as decorations in rooms apart from providing a sound cover.

The first type of board is the wooden acoustic board which is purchased in items measuring one squared meter. Most sellers permit their customers to order a minimum of 100 square meters. They are designed based on the theory of acoustics. They, usually, are very effective when it comes to reduction of noise. They, specifically, are very efficient at middle frequency sound absorption.

The next type of board is the sound proof auditorium groove come in single square meter divisions and most sellers have set one hundred units as the minimum amount that can be bought at ago. Standard three and five-layered MDF is used in the design of its base material. The MDF is protected from all hostile environmental hazards. This material also resists fire to a very great extent. There are very many options from which buyers select.

The groove wooden panel is also divided into single square meters, and buyers are allowed to buy as little as one square meter. It has the capability to effectively absorb sound, and is very much echo friendly. Its other qualities include its decorations and the fire proof ability. It can be used in studios, cinemas and many other areas.

Flock printing board is majorly made up of single square meter products. The customer has the option to purchase whatever quantity he feels like. No limitations are imposed on buyers concerning how to conduct their buying. These items are hospitable to the environment, and can take in sound well. Besides this, they have fireproof capability, and decorative elements. They also resist impact and water, and cannot not accommodate fungal and bacterial infestation.

The next category is called decorative wall panels. They are normally accommodating to fire and water, and contains decorative characteristics. They, at the same time, have vibration proof abilities. They mostly applied in cinemas, studios, and many other regions as may be applicable.

The last category is the perforated vibration proof cinema panel that comes in units of one meter square like the rest of the panels mentioned before. There are no limitations on the number of items to be bought. They have perforations all over them.

Eighteen-year-old Kaylee Rutland, a Texan contemporary country singer and songwriter, will be playing this year's Dallas Music Fest in it's twelfth consecutive run. Kaylee's musical inspiration comes from artists such as Reba McEntire, Sarah Evans, and Carrie Underwood. "Music has always been something I've wanted to do," says Kaylee, "it's been a huge part of my life since I was a kid." Kaylee's songs primarily deal with themes of friends, faith, and love - things.

When Kaylee writes songs, she says she can be tough on herself because she musically holds herself to a very high standard . Once Kaylee has words created for a song, she gets together with her bandmates to jam through the basic structure and bounce ideas off of each other. "If I hear someone say something that I think would work great in a song, I'll take that knowledge with me and work with it to write my lyrics," she says.

When Kaylee was just starting out in music, she says her biggest challenge was getting on stage and being comfortable instead of feeling out of place. Other than that, Kaylee says she very rarely has any trouble with her band, pointing out that they get along really great. Kaylee and her band plan on releasing their 2nd album in the near future - it has been almost a year since her first EP was put out. Kaylee also recently wrapped up filming a music video and recording a track with country artists, Jamie O'Neal and Colt Ford. "It was a real blessing to record with such nice and down to earth people," states Kaylee.

Kaylee tells us that her favorite show she's every played was a two-hour show right before a Stars game, known as the Pregame Party on the Plaza (the Stars are Dallas's NHL hockey team). She has been lucky enough to play this event two times. "I loved every minute of it, even though it was freezing cold!" she said. Kaylee says that if she could open up for any band or artist in the world, she would want to open up for Reba McEntire - her idol.

As advice to other up-and-coming performers much like herself, Kaylee says to listen to your loved ones and not the skeptics. "The ones you need to listen to are the ones who believe in you," she says, "if you believe in yourself, then other people will start to believe in you. If you believe in yourself, you will succeed." Kaylee ended up playing on one of the headlining spots during the 2014 Dallas Music Festival, and we wish her all the best in her future career. Fore more information on Kaylee, you can visit her website or Facebook page.

Learning how to play musical instruments such as the piano can help you see the world in a new way. Music will take on new meaning for you and you may even find a way to make money from it. However, even if you just do it for fun, piano lessons can be well worth the effort and money. They will keep your mind young and healthy and you'll soon find that sitting at the keyboard at the end of a long day is a fantastic way to relax and unwind.

Learning in a structured, formal way has many advantages. You learn the different playing techniques that you might need, as well as the correct way to position your hands, use your fingers and moving your body. You also learn how to read music and about music theory. This will come in handy even when you decide to switch to a different instrument such as the guitar or the flute later on.

One of the most important things to remember is that becoming a skilled pianist takes time. At first you'll learn very simple, basic pieces and this may be frustrating. However, these pieces will lay the groundwork for the more difficult ones you'll be playing later on. Like with everything else in life, you need to start small and be patient. A tennis player can't expect to win Wimbledon the first time round and in the same way, you can't expect to play a full piano concerto after only a couple of weeks.

Practice is very important. Try to set aside at least an hour every day for this. Your playing skills and technique won't just magically appear and you need to put in some effort. Remember that the sooner you master a particular technique, the sooner you can move on to the next step.

Part of each practice session should be set aside for scales. These are actually a great way to warm up. They help to loosen up and strengthen your hands and especially your fingers. In addition, they're a great aid in understanding how keys in music work.

Learning to master any instrument is not only about actual playing. You also need to learn the theoretical aspects of music, such as what different notes mean, how music is structured and what all those Italian terms mean. Your teacher should teach you some theory at least once every two or three classes.

Your choice of teacher is very important. This is the person who will help you unlock the secrets of music and there should be a good rapport between the two of you. A great teacher isn't necessarily the most accomplished pianist but instead is the one who will push you, support you and encourage you to become the best you can be.

Finally, they key to becoming a great pianist is perseverance. Don't give up after a setback. Instead, keep your eye on your goal and keep trying. In the end, your efforts are sure to pay off and you'll be able to impress everyone with your musical prowess.

Choosing a professional teacher is not as easy as finding one because in the first place, there is a lot to choose from. Hire a professional to learn how to play the piano chords. You need to check the professional background of the music teacher. Require the teacher to submit his credentials and to give references of his previous jobs or tutees.

Weigh your options carefully. Know the pros and cons of hiring a professional compared to when you do a self study. With the latter option, the result is not guaranteed. Learning music requires discipline and with yourself alone to teach you, you can just postpone the learning session whenever you want to.

Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. Your needs are going to guide you which type of service provider should work with you. When you get confused at the options before you, refer back to your needs. This is going to guide you in making the right choice.

Whereas if you work with a freelancer, it is hard to track him down if he goes AWOL because there is no permanent entity like a company that you can check. Contact several professionals of the service. A company is much more organized in their system than a freelance individual. Compare the musicians that you have found.

It is free to ask quotes. With a freelancer, you may have to go through the whole process again of finding and screening prospective freelancers, which can really take a long time. This consumes time because you have to make sure that you are getting a good freelancer. A company is a more organized entity compared to a freelancer.

The freelancer may recommend another person to fill in his work but it is a long shot for things to be the same. If the company sends someone you do not like, you can always complain about it and request for a replacement. Check business directories to find prospects for the service. There is a lot of information that you can get from the internet regarding the service.

Anything that done or not done that is on the contract is a tantamount to a breach. Have it notarized so that this has more merit in court. The party that fails to comply with the terms of the service can be made to pay for the damages suffered by the other party. Consider the personality of the teacher.

Make sure that there is another person at home preferably another adult in the house during the home service. This is for your own protection. You cannot be too careful these days with anyone especially with someone who you do not know personally who are in your home providing some service. Business directories should be checked.

You will also find prospective service providers in business directories. He must be professional trained and educated in the service that he provides to clients. The price is also another aspect of the service. Find business directories on the internet. This should be cleared before the start of the class.

Redline is a soulful rock group out of Dallas Texas. The band is comprised of Joseph Campise on lead guitar, Joe Rodriguez on vocals and acoustic guitar, Austin Adams on bass and Nate Williams on the drums. Redline is a high energy rock band that is highly influenced by Jimmy Hendrix and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

While sitting down for this interview, Austin tells me that the band got their name from the term "redlining your car" - a phrase which to them symbolizes giving it your all and putting everything you have into everything you do. The band has been together for five years and has loved every moment of it.

When Redline begin working on a song, they just start by "going with whatever comes" to their heads. What they do next is pretty unique; Austin claims that it is the same as what the band, the Postal Service, had done way back when they were off at college - as members of Redline are today. Someone from the band will record a chorus or riff with his cell phone and send it in a group message to their band mates. Then all of the members will critique what's been sent as a group. At the end of the semester, the whole band will meet up for band practice back in their hometown, during which time they jam out their previous ideas and bounce things off of one other.

Redline tells me that they have been through bad shows and great shows, bad luck and good luck. Much like the backstory of their band name suggests, they have learned to never give up, even when they think life can't get any worse, they choose to never back down. When I then asked how close all the band members were (as far as their friendships with each other go), they explained to me that they all feel like they were all born to play in this band together. Redline just released their latest album in January and plan on releasing a couple of singles over the summer.

Austin said, "This band has been through too much sh*t to not make it. And I love that." They told me that they don't go with what mainstream music wants. Redline's biggest struggle when starting their band was building their fan base and trying to get the response they were looking for. After putting themselves out there, they finally found the support they were looking for. The band mates look forward to playing music together for years to come.

What are your songs about? (attempting to avoid any cliche) But in life everyone experiences setbacks and let downs, what keeps them going is how the individual chooses to deal with the problem. They can either accept defeat or move past the obstacle and take their life into their own hands. Each person is responsible for their own path and we are trying to promote the fact that when you go down, be ready to fight to get back up and succeed.

Having dealt with many of these experiences as a band already, we feel the topic hits us all more personally and is therefore more enjoyable to write about. It serves as a release in way. Plus the themes themselves are relatable by anyone with a beating heart.

What is your genre? We get asked this question all of the time. Instead of limiting ourselves to one magnified genre, we like to write what we think sounds good and what everyone in the band is vibing off of depending on our mood. Some songs are heavier than others, some are more passionate. If you want to throw it in a genre call it metalcore.

If you could open for one band, who would it be? Tough question, but we'd have to go with a day to remember and august burns red because draw influence from both equally and they put on great shows.

What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? To try to keep this answer as short as possible, it's first about finding the right group of people and making sure that you are able to work together musically and personally. Individually, if music is where your heart is at and you want to perform, don't let anything stand in your way and keep acting on your passion. Act as if the band is one mind and each member is a different cog or gear keeping it running. If one gear fails, the whole project crashes. Also, to space out your shows so that you can bring in more of your fans. Most people don't want to see their friend play every weekend so it'll be hard to bring in a draw that way. By bringing a draw in front of the right people can help benefit you more than anything else, as networking is one of the things we value most.

When it comes to guitar players, there is no one-size fits-all solution for choosing amplifiers. This includes rock and jazz guitar amplifiers. The amp that a heavy metal guitar player would use is different from the jazz. Guitar players have unique sounds that they prefer as well as its application.

The music you play and the venue you play in will model the amp that you need. There are various brand names that using different technologies as well as sound suited for specific types of music. Whether you are playing a soothing night of blues and jazz, a mosh pit, or a country barn opry, the amp you choose will make or break your shtick.

Purchasing any amp will just set you up to fail. The main points of an amp that you should pay attention to are its wattage, performance, and sound quality. Brand specific amps will have different layouts and technology that distinguish it from its competitors. There are factors that you should pay attention to as you distinguish the different qualities of amps. Choosing the right amp will require due diligence on your part.

The wattage rates the amps used. The low watt tube amplifiers are robust models. The tube can distort loud volumes. Tube amps are great for studio use where harmonic quality is the key. Typically, the higher the wattage of an amp, the more power it has to push numerous speakers.

The solid and tube amps are quite different. Tube amps are more expensive than solid states, and the tube amps are studio quality. Solid amps use transistors to produce sound amplification. There are various solid state amps that try to reproduce the sound of tube amps, but most of them do not meet the standards.

Micro amps make good practice amps. Most of them only push about 10 to 50 watts. The amps are not much good for anything. They make good for practicing. Because of the size of the amps, micro amps are generally solid state.

The 1x12 amp uses a 12 inch speaker that can be deemed suitable for small gigs. They are useful for practice as well. They do not meet the bar to be useful in a large venue, but they can be hooked to large Pas via mi or line-out jacks. The tube 1x12 amps are very nice.

The 2 x 12 amp is ideal for medium-sized venues and studios. The cabinets work for many categories of music. When looking for that amp, do not confuse the terms head and amplifier. The head is an amplifier without a speaker, and numerous heads can be hooked up to play a stack or half stack speaker system. A typical head can run up to 400 watts for the speakers.

The cabinets can house 4-6 12-inch speakers. The system with 4 speakers and a few smaller speakers are called half stacks. A full stack is twice the amount of half stacks. Half stacks and full stacks are commonly used by professional musicians. The cabinet size speakers are what distinguish career musicians from the hobbyists.

Sound is an unseen force that has quite a huge impact to daily living. It is only inferior to light but its superior to everything else. It can travel great distances as well. It reaches out to a very wide scope, breaks through most walls and other barriers, and yet they can be started by making something vibrate.

If there were no sounds, there was no music. You will not be able to count on songs to express every feeling. There will be no good singers, no good orchestras, no good theater plays. Television will still thrive of course, yet they will be devoid of the witty dialogues we have grown to like so much. It will be like the times when people had to count on silent movies. Movie viewing will never be the same, as there will be no more vintage sound amplifiers to make each flick superb.

It will also be a bit harder to connect with people if talking is not supported by the human anatomy. People will have to act out what they want to say, like a game of charades every time one meets another person. People just might have to bring along pens and pads with them too. This way they will just write down what they want to express.

Aside from a decline in the field of entertainment, life could actually be more hazardous without the presence of sounds. You will not hear warning alarms to tell you that a possible danger is coming. The simple act of crossing the street could be a matter of life and death.

Indeed, people are so reliant on sound that almost everything that man has ever invented makes use of its mysterious force. Due to this excessive usage of sounds, the public is also suffering terribly from noise pollution. This type of pollution is one of the adverse effects that the misuse of sound can provide. If this is not to be stopped, there will come a time that the majority of the population will have to use amplifiers just to be able to hear themselves over the thick throng of people.

An amplifier is a wise contraption wrought and fashioned by the imaginative minds of men. If the made to serve one purpose, and that is to amplify the power of anything that will be connected to it. This is popular to the public due to the increased interest in the world of music. But, it is not limited only to this particular area.

Valve types are good cost effective devices, they are meant for use with communications equipment such as radars and other similar tools. This is also used in the world of warfare, as a device used to regulate EMP tolerance in most planes. Other than that, it can also be of big use when working with recording equipment.

Video amplifiers deal with video signals and how to make them work for various needs. They are capable of carrying different bandwidths according to usage. Different types are used for SDTV, EDTV, and HDTV. Certain devices work well with step response and overshooting for acceptable images to be displayed over the television.

Last but most certainly not the least, amplifiers are standard tools in the world of music. They are used in performances in front of a very huge audience. It takes the right distortion level, power output, and frequency response to make these contraptions work.

It is a widely known fact that music has played a very vital role in daily living for the human race. Music and society can be traced back to hundreds of years ago, when people first discovered that there are actually ways to create sounds, and beautiful ones at that. Humans have not ceased creating corner bass traps ever since.

It is also beneficial for optimum brain development. The hearing capabilities of human beings function as early as the fetal stage. It is believed that a child can hear and distinguish sounds from the environment even when still inside the safe confines of the womb of the mother.

When children reach the school age years, most parents would love for them to focus on their studies. The common rule is academics first, other interests later. This is the primary reason why some cut down music from the daily schedule of their kids. Music even actually improves mathematical skills. Beats generally given off by bass stimulates the part of the mind that controls patterns, proportion and other mathematical relation skills.

Those who are not really that immersed in the world of music fail to understand the integral role of the bass in any musical genre. Sometimes they can be very pronounced as with the case of most upbeat songs and rock genre. Often they are easy to miss and are barely distinguishable, as with the case of most slow songs.

Whether the song to be played is relatively loud, like from the genres of rock and hard metal, or soft and slow, like acoustics, it serves two very important functions. First off, the base provides the pulse of the song. Just like the heart pulses non stop to give life to every creature, it also gives life to any piece. Without it, the music will sound flat and void of life.

Harmonic foundation is something that only the bass can provide. Harmony is achieved when several notes are played simultaneously, but even so, they blend together quite well. The ear, when made to listen to many notes at a time, hear it in relation to the lowest sounding pitch which is the bass.

There exist nowadays some musical devices that have the ability to trap elements in music. With the use of these so called bass traps, the way most perceive audio frequencies takes on a whole new level. They have the capacity to reduce LF resonance which is why they are used mostly in recording studios and home entertainment systems.

In general, there are two types of traps, the resonating absorbers and the porous absorbers. The resonating ones tend to narrow band action. They also only absorb a small range of audio frequencies. To be quite truthful about it, resonating types are in no means better than the other type.

The second type is called the porous absorber. It is the one used mostly by the public. They are small and lightweight as well. Yet, despite their size, they can suck in a broadband of audio frequencies. What is more, they are quite simple to make that is why others make their own than buy one in the market.
