I want to gift a custom music box to my wife of 40 years! "DONUMA" company will create custom tune. Would 18 notes be enough to sound enough like Right Down The Line?

Hi, have a nice afternoon!

I have 16 years and I want to be a great music composer someday. I play guitar for about 2 years, I love it. In this year I get into school's band, and started to learn the notes scales by keyboard, to be easier to remeber and because in the DAW's (that I want to take a free course in my vacations), that I've seen uses a lot of the "keyboard interface" to identify notes. I'm also reading books to learn more about the theory and watching youtube videos to study more about guitar, but it's been a bit hard learn without some help, maybe because I think I'm incopetent... At least I feel it, cause I always see people playing amazing things, but I'm not one of them.
So today, a "conductor" come to my school and offered free classes, but only for instruments related to orchestra, he said that keyboard it's incluided, that would be a great oportunnity to learn theory, it's three days per week. But I don't know if I should take it... I have so much to evolve in eletric guitar, and wish someday play it good as Ichika Nito or any other famous guitar player, and I don't want to quit this instrument, but people say that I'll never get that good if I spend my time learning both of them, and I have so many obligations, like school, a mandatory course that will occur in some classes at school, my hobbbie of drawing... And I don't know what should I do about this, so I want to ask a more mature person abou this, what is your opinion?

Sorry for bad english, I'm also learning this... And Thank you for your time

What’s the sound used that sounds like knives clanging? It’s a metallic sound.

Im writing a song for my composition class and want some soft percussion for a hozier like vibe, and would love some reccomendations.

Cross posting this on a few subreddits for exposure, so please forgive me if this is not the correct forum or format to post this question.

I've been trying to find what the specific musical term is for choir singers, singing in ascending notes. With a big enough group, it sounds very haunting and almost "warbly". You'll often hear this in horror movies or tv shows. I've asked my partner who's had some years in choir and she came up with "glissando."

The closest example that I can find on the internet is from this video here:

I can hear a slow glissando with the strings, but the singers are almost each in their own scale and ascending each note.

Excuse any gaps in knowledge that I may have with musical terms and the post, its just something I've heard in many horror movies and I'm curious to know if there is an actual word for it.

Thanks!

What's the name of the technique where the singer sings like 1 syllable evere 3 or so of a phrase, puts it in repeat, sings the second 3rd, puts that in repeat too and, in the end, sings the last third

I recently got into producing and I’m trying to record my own vocals at home. I want to buy a microphone that works with my MacBook but most xlr to usb c adapters don’t work with compressor microphones. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Like I've always seen at these musicians on YouTube talk about auto tune but I never see them explain where they get it. Like is it just something your download? Also how does it work? How would it make someone voice more in tune withought destroying it???

I like it, but the last two chords seem slightly jarring to me, though they resolve quite well.

What can I do now if I don't have a pc or laptop? I've been trying to get into bandlab and n track studios. I've made decent stuff, I can probably do better. Music is passion and I want to go down this route. Is my only option to just save up for a pc, then just go from there? Or should I do something else while I'm saving?

Hello! So my GF is an advanced amateur musician. For context she has been playing guitar and singing since childhood and went to music school for several years when she was a kid where apart from playing, she did music theory, singing and such.

She only plays and composes songs cause she loves it and she wants to learn to produce them better and make her songs more layered , do it’s not just a guitar and voice. She has been playing with garage band a bit.

Maybe what I’m writing does not make much sense because I have little idea about music, I’m sorry if that is the case, but I see she is super motivated do I wanted to get her something cool for Christmas. Like a device or a book or something.

For the longest time I wanted to start a Klingon Metal band in the same vein as Mac Sabbath or Cybertronic Spree. My question is are there any copyright laws I must stay aware of when writing music and etc for this project?

Szmforezzoteanissimo?

I’ve been pursuing music for over 10 years now and I see the progress but I’m so unmotivated. I didn’t finish college in this high of a dream and “picking one thing” to focus on.. now I’m almost 26 and I can’t barely enjoy my life because I’m working still doing the same thing since I was 18. I really do love music but I hate how it’s turned into this “be a TikTok star” for mindless views and listens, anybody else do music but found a way to be financially stable?

So as the title says i've interested in the music Red Sex by Vessel, I've been trying to search what instruments it was played on and what kind of chords was used(since i wanna try it). so far with no luck I was hoping y'all can help

Back in the day, recorded songs used to fade out at the end, repeating the chorus or sometimes a verse over and over again, quieter and quieter. Now songs typically just end on a beat or a short outro with a clear stop.
