Warm Up Skipping, how effective is it?
During my early years going to the gym I witnessed many forms of warming up before training. The majority took to the treadmill and cross-trainers to warm up the muscles before engaging in varied exercises. Very few stretched and prepared their muscles properly for the tasks ahead which was normal to me at the time as i was just starting out. I must admit warming up before exercise my method involved the treadmill mostly where i walked for 1 minute, jogged for 9 minutes and to warm down i would walk for another minute at varied speeds which seemed to do the trick when ready to workout. As time went on i felt i had outgrown the standard method of warming up and wanted to try a different approach. Lucky for me the local gym at the time had a separate studio/boxing area where most people failed to attend. It was confusing as to why other gym goers wouldn't make use of this facility i was not complaining. This gym was very unique and very quickly i made the boxing studio an important part of my training routine. At first starting out skipping it was a very bumpy experience, it was difficult to find a rhythm. As time went by and with more frequent visits i slowly started to establish a steady pace. With the gym playing absolutely the wrong sort of music to workout to i had to dig deep to find motivation if i was to attempt to master this process in my own way. I was adamant to get this right as i planned to implement this procedure as part of my training regime as i function more effectively when i follow a specific process i am accustomed to. Again with more and more visits i noticed the way I skipped was gradually improving and with quite a few failed attempts my implementation of various styles including dancing was better than previous weeks. At this stage i still refused to study other athletes and their movements as my intention was purely to create a rhythm that was suited for me. The main important structure of skipping for me was to research the physical and mental benefits it carries and what sort of effect it could have on me as an individual.

HOW TO MAKE A BEAT FOR BEGINNERS WITHOUT SAMPLING USING LOGIC PRO X
Many new producers struggle to compose a balanced instrumental that's vocal ready. This could be down to the lack of know how or lack of research before diving into the process. There are a few factors to consider before setting off on a new production journey such as the genre/style of music, what BPM, the types of sounds/kits for the project and amongst a few others the target audience. More often the mistakes i witness in various studios from producers in starting a production on a blank canvass with no direction which more times lead to ongoing failures than progress. These are mistakes that i have witnessed and also have done myself but can also confess that it can sometimes lead to a great masterpiece that was not planned. On that note we can agree that the pre-idea stage is more so an important factor when planning to compose a new work of musical art.

Whats really needed to set up a home recording studio
It all began with little knowledge and experience. The definition of knowledge translates into know how of softwares and programs and their general functions. Experience is gained by applying the knowledge. Before one can pursue the art of music production the basic knowledge of the systematic process of audio frequencies must be attained.
