1986 EA's Instant Music
In the previous post, Michael Braisher introduced us for the first time to a software package written in 1986 by Electronic Arts called "Instant Music". I think it deserves a second look, and here is the original review.

Published for the C64 and Amiga machines, Instant Music was a unique composition program. By use of either preset or created templates, complex symphonies could be made simply by plotting the notes and chords using the mouse pointer on the screen. As rules governing a piece’s construction ensured only the ‘right’ chords and structures could be created, the building blocks of the musical document comprised a mere series of collated coloured lumps.
The sequencer required no musical knowledge to operate, though the ‘artificial intelligence’ could be disabled for use by the musically proficient.
Thanks to its MIDI capabilities, use can be made with this software of not just the C64’s own SID chip but also of any MIDI instrument, including the Commodore Sound Expander synth’ plug-in.
If there had been an Instant Music 2 we could have enjoyed a more stable program with perhaps greater control over the SID. Another nice feature could have been a printout facility to properly script the musical notation. (Still, MIDI output into PCs running suitable SID VSTi and notation software could do such a job). It is also a pity that no C64 emulator appears to exist which can interact with the MIDI socket(s) found on most soundcards.

Well, watch my own little space as I hope to have the Amiga version up quite soon.
And remember that the WinUAE Amiga emulator can interact with a soundcard's MIDI socket. Which means that you can have maximum fun with VSTi, etc.

Voice over is a professional job that requires a lot of things, which include a good voice over microphone, voice training, and a proper recording studio. If you pick up a wrong microphone, sooner or later, your bookings will dry up because your voice produced isn’t up to the mark. If you need high-quality audio, you need to invest in high-quality equipment. A lot of people fear away from making a voice over setup at home because they think a good microphone will be expensive. That’s not necessarily true. You can purchase a decent microphone without disturbing your budget.
voice over microphones
One of the things that you need to look while selecting microphones is how your voice is and how you’d use the microphone. Specific microphones will work better for your voice as compared to others. Also, put into consideration the acoustics in your studio. Despite being a soundproof closet, do you still have some amount of background noise? It’s wise to go with a microphone that cancels the background noise efficiently.

One of my Friendly helped me to come here in India he taught me Indian as well as English language which is most important for me If I am here in India to earn money from escort profession. I have faced so many rude and bad guys during my service time. But many of my clients treat me as their life partner, few of my clients offered me to become their girl friend and many of my young clients offered me to marry with them. But as know very well that I am an escort and I feel that there is no one who can hold my hand for life time. I am just offering my escorts services in Chandigarh yet.
