In the realm of music production, creativity, and technical skills are equally important. With the advent of digital audio workstations (DAWs) and various software plugins, musicians and producers have access to an array of tools that can elevate their craft. However, with so many options available, it can be challenging to navigate the world of music production and stay ahead of the curve. This is where Musihacks come into play.
Record your demo using only your phone’s voice memo and a $1 plastic spoon as a capo on the guitar (to raise the pitch). The lo-fi restriction forces you to write a song that works acoustically first. If it’s good here, it’s good anywhere.
Forget your clip-on tuner? Download a sine wave generator app. Play 440Hz (A). Hold it to your guitar body. Loosen the string until the vibrating beats between the sine wave and string disappear. You’re in tune.
Set the metronome at 40% target tempo. Play perfectly 5 times. Increase by 5 BPM. Repeat. When you crack, drop back 15 BPM. This eliminates bad muscle memory.
While driving or showering, imagine a chord progression (I-IV-V-I). Then hum the root note only. Your brain fills in the harmony. This passive training doubles your interval recognition speed.
