If you have ever used a turn table, I am sure you know just how amusing they can be. It is an easy way to spice up any bland recording, giving it extra texture and potency. The Stanton T90USB USB Direct Drive DJ Turntable is my pick for today because it allows you to plug strait into your pc or mac and record. This means that you can archive any old vinyl that you have or record your latest mix on the table. It is a fun and creative way to spice up your old records. Right now you can grab this high quality turn table for 199.95 on AMS which is 56 percent off the cover price.

I should let you know, there are programs that allow you to modify music and edit it so it sounds like it has been mixed with a turn table. However those are not nearly as fun. Moving the record with your hands and getting the satisfaction of authoring a truly famous song is worth the price of this turn table. I would highly recommend this buy as it is on clearance now and it won’t be left for long.

Today I am going to highlight some of the many features of one of the best mics on the market for the money, the Rode NT1A Vocal Condenser Microphone at AMS. This mic has incredible clarity and sensitivity for just 200 dollars. It utilizes state of the art technology to ensure maximum noise reduction. It is perfect for studio recordings and gigs alike. If you are looking to up your vocal performance, this mic will do the trick. The mic does so well against preventing vocal distortion. In tests conducted by AMS specialists, the mic picked up noise outside of a building but didn’t pick up the loud humming from the computers inside the building. This technology identifies the sounds you want amplified and alleviates all other noise. I would highly recommend picking up this mic, which sounds like it costs at least 500 dollars.

Once you get your new mac, you might want some additional software to really fine tune your work. Garage Band which comes with mac is an excellent program. However if you want even more professional capabilities, I recommend the Apple Logic Studio Bundle. The bundle comes complete with:
Logic Pro 8, a major upgrade to Apple’s leading music production application
MainStage, an innovative new application for live music performance
Soundtrack Pro 2, a streamlined audio post-production application for film and video
Studio Instruments, featuring 40 incredible-sounding instrument plug-ins
Studio Effects, featuring 80 professional effect plug-ins
Studio Sound Library, incorporating content from five Jam Pack collections and Final Cut Studio 2 to provide a total of 18,000 Apple Loops, 2400 channel strip settings, and 1300 EXS sampled instruments
These programs come with everything you will need to set up a professional grade recording and editing studio. Furthermore they will give your gigs the professional quality that you desire to keep your fans coming back for more. For those of you who don't perform regularly, I would still recommend this software because of the multitude of editing and enhancement capabilities it boasts. For 499 you can grab all these programs which is a terrific bargain. Again if you go with windows and windows based software you will likely encounter glitches and trouble around every corner. Buy the Logic Studio Music Bundle and get serious without the hassles.

If you don't already have a computer which is up to the task of editing and recording, you might consider getting a new macbook pro from AMS. The intel core 2 duo processor provides ample speed so that none of your editing tasks will lag. Furthermore, all new macbook pros are loaded with 4 gigs of ram standard. It comes with a built in isight so that you can communicate with friends in other countries or even play music with bandmates across the globe. They will be able to see and hear you with the state of the art built in video capturing device on the macbook pro. Some people might look at the price tag of 2600 bucks and scoff. But let me tell you, I have had my mac laptop for five years and I have NEVER had to take it in for repairs or call a help line. The only malfunction that has ever occurred is that it got overworked and froze up on me twice in five years. Other than that I have never gotten a virus or had any problems handling a multitude of tasks. If you buy a PC, you will spend hundreds on antivirus software, professional technical assistance, and an operating system which is less intuitive than a mac. But if you pay a little more upfront by buying a macbook pro, you will save money and hassle in the long run. Industry professionals agree that you can't outdo a mac for music recording and editing.

If you are interested in learning scales, I would highly recommend the Amsco Gig Bag Book Of Scales for All Guitarists. This book is great for any guitarist but I would highly recommend it for the new guitarist who has not started to learn scales yet. It breaks it down and offers simple tablature for over 180 scales so that you can grasp and understand firmly. It also offers fingering suggestions with five different scale positions covering the whole fretboard. This book is a total of 176 pages and is for sale on AMS for just 14.95. You can’t beat that price for some good education.

Another great scales book is Scales and Modes In The Beginning. This book is divided into four sections which include
1) Fretboard Visualization, the breaking down of the whole into parts
2) Scale Terminology - a thorough understanding of whole and half steps, scale degrees, intervals, etc.
3) Scales And Modes - the rear of the book covers every scale you will ever need with exercises and applications
4) Scale To Chord Guide - ties it all together, showing what scale to use over various chords.

I would highly recommend both of the above books. If you know someone begiing the guitar, grab both of them. The second one I just mentioned is only 11.99. You can pick em both up for just 27 bucks. 

If you or someone you know is a beginning guitar player, I would recommend using some expert resources such as CD and DVD tapes to help you learn the basics. Really you don’t need personal instructor advice until you start moving on to some more complex measures. In the beginning, I would recommend something like the Hal Leonard Guitar Method Beginner Package for just 24.99. This package will set you up with all the tools and tricks you need to get started. Most new guitar players are so excited to be learning to play but they don’t know where to begin. If you know someone in that boat, show them this package as I believe it will seriously help.
This package includes the second edition of the level 1 book and cd. This book focuses on the tried and true method for learning guitar developed by Hal Leonard himself. It is a total of 47 pages of great instruction.  

If you are interested in learning more, visit AMS.

If I were going to buy a new electric guitar, here is my pick. The Ibanez AF100 Artcore Electric Guitar from AMS. Right now this guitar is selling for just 499 which is a savings of 433 dollars. You can pick up a guitar that retails for almost 1000 bucks for just 499. Why is this guitar so cheap? First of all AMS keeps costs low by having no storefront inventory. That means that unlike your local guitar shop, they don't have to pay rent. Instead their items are stored in a warehouse and shipped directly to you. That's why AMS always has the lowest price guaranteed. The second reason why this guitar is so cheap is because it is an Ibanez. Ibanez makes some of the most stylish and desirable guitars which play beautifully but sell for a fraction of their competitors. They are in the business of selling quality guitars for bargain prices. The name isn't as renown as Fender for example but many argue they are made just as well.

I am a huge fan of Takamine acoustic guitars. My first guitar was a Takamine acoustic and it played beautifully. Today I wanted to share one of my favorite models available now, the Takamine EAN40C Natural Cutaway Acoustic Electric Guitar with Case. This six string acoustic guitar has a built in preamp, EQ, and tuner. Now that is a pretty sweet setup.
This guitar is part of the Takamine natural series which provides more bang for your buck. This guitar is featured at just under 700 bucks but will play with the best of the 1200 dollar guitars. It has a beautiful cedar top with a solid mahogany back with no pickguard to complete the slick look.
This guitar is part of a limited time special which has marked it down to 699 instead of AMS usual price of 799. Either way, those numbers are still far less than the 1400 you would pay for this guitar in a music shop.

This guitar functions beautifully whether its plugged in or not.

I love nice guitars – and here is one of the nicest I have discussed on this blog. The Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar with Case in Heritage Cherry is a real beauty for the serious musician with a few bucks to spend. This guitar can’t be beat in my mind. In terms of style and class, it will blow you away. The cherry finish will make it pop out in any room time and time again. For $1049 you can get a brand new one on AMS but it will have a small scratch on the guitar. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy you can pay $1199 and grab one that is in perfect condition. That is still a steal of a price compared to the suggested retail of $1998 which brick and mortar shops charge. The more I am around this stuff the more I realize that the brick and mortar music shops just can’t compete with an internet music business like AMS. AMS has no overhead cost of a storefront so they can afford to cut you way better deals that your local neighborhood guitar shop.

Anyway back to my pick of the day. This unit is the modern rendition of the well known Gibson SG of the 60’s. It has some stellar improvements which make the former model pale in comparison. There is really too much to go into detail here. To get the full story on this beauty, visit AMS

Normally I discuss music mediums which are good for your personal enjoyment or for professional / band situations. However you have to remember that music is always supposed to be fun. That’s why we play right, to have fun. So today I thought I would help you find a fun little toy which will liven up your parties. The Nady DKW Duo VHF Wireless Karaoke Microphone System is the perfect fit for some fun filled karaoke nights. Its just 50 bucks so you can’t afford not to grab this thing. In my experience I think karaoke is especially beneficial because it allows for a bit of role reversal. If you are in a band have the drummer and the bass player do some songs on the karaoke machine. It’s always fun to hear people sing who don’t usually do it.

This system is a pretty good deal for just fifty bucks. You get two wireless microphones and a quality transmitter. However you will still have to supply the lyrics to the music you are playing. Many can be found at songlyrics.com

Anyway to grab this sweet system visit AMS

Here are some features from AMS:

* Each transmitter operates on a separate single frequency in the VHF 170-216MHz band and can be used singly or together simultaneously with the DKW-DUO dual receiver
* Easy, convenient operation with on/off switch and low battery LED indicator which flashes once for unit ON, and lights steady for low battery alert
* Features the Nady DM-20 unidirectional dynamic cartridge for optimum true sound, maximum feedback rejection and minimal handling noise
* Each transmitter operates up to 15 hours on a single 9V alkaline battery

If your in a band, you need a drummer. Yet sometimes you might have restrictions which keep you from being able to play drums at your home. For example most people who live in an apartment building can only dream about owning a drum set. However too many people forget about the marvels of modern technology – the electronic drum set. Here is my pick of the day based on quality and value for your buck. The Alesis DM5 Pro Kit Electronic Drum Set is everything you need to become a skilled drummer in any environment. I am a big fan of electric drums because they give you so many more options than traditional drums.

The best part about the Alesis DM5 Pro Kit is that it was designed to be a multi user friendly instrument. In other words it was made with beginners, intermediate, and advanced players in mind. Whatever your skillset, you will find satisfaction with this set. This set boasts professional sound quality while maintaining incredible portability and ease of setup. If you travel frequently, this is the perfect fit for you.

There are too many features for me to describe all of them so here is a list from AMS. This puppy is on sale for just 599 marked down from 800 so you can see why I call it a value buy.

If you are looking for a more serious guitar, the Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special Electric Guitar is your perfect fit. Normally this guitar runs for $1,119.99. However it is no on sale at AMS for $899.99. This guitar is another remake of a classic Fender Guitar known for it’s quality and reliability. The Jaguar guitar boasts some incredible modern improvements like hotter pickups, redesigned Adjusto-Matic bridge with floating tremolo tailpiece, a 9.5 inch fingerboard radius and an improved neck pocket. My favorite innovation is that the tremolo plate has been moved so that it is closer to the bridge. What does this do you might ask. Well this small innovation allows for increased break angle and sustain.

This item packs all the power you will need to wrench out solid sound for your biggest gigs. This is a reissue of one of Fender’s most popular models which was known for its quality of tone. This guitar includes three Texas Special single-coil Stratocaster pickups as well as a brown shell pickguard. Additionally this guitar has a tinted C-shaped maple neck and fingerboard.

I know I covered this yesterday, but I can’t say it enough – if reliability and quality are your concerns, you can’t do better than Fender. They have been in business since 1946 and have pretty much been able to perfect the game. There is a reason so many of your favorite musicians have used Fender guitars – they’re the best.
