All about that bass The horizontal bass has a vague history. Many bassists believe Leo Fender was the first creator of the horizontal bass; but, they’re not completely right. Though Fender made the “ Precision “ bass ( which was the first good sounding bass ) there were at least 4 prototypes before that. The modern bass was a grandchild to the seventeenth century double bass. The first notable change was in the nineteen-twenties by a man named Lloyd Loar, which at the time worked for a notable…

wouldn’t be needing and boost the ones I would. An example of this would be my bass drum. I cut out any sound above 250Hz as I wouldn’t be using this. I then boosted at around 100Hz because this is where I wanted the kick drum…

In today’s world, music drives the entertainment industry like never before, as hit after hit singles top the charts, it is difficult to say “everything that shine ain’t always gonna be gold” (Cudi). Remarkable singles are usually covered out of respect for the original artist, by different performers, in different styles. A lesser known cover artist, Lissie, performed a ground-breaking interpretation of an original single by a rap super star known as Kid Cudi. Although, Kid Cudi and Lissie have…

tracks 2 and 3. Michael Jackson’s voice paints the picture of a horror movie mixed with a pop song.

The vibe of the song changed at about 4:15 when the chorus stopped and the voice over began. I thought the voice over was creepier than the actual song. The last few seconds included a maniac laughter that…
