Generally electric guitars and vocals stay roughly between 80 Hz and 1 kHz. However, 250 Hz and 1 kHz range is the most important part. Most of the instruments stay here. If we over boost this area, a track may sound muddy. On the other hand, cutting too much can sound hollow. Boo...
Unless you are deaf or can't stand learning...you will never regret it. I'll probably never be able to do vibrato. But it makes an acoustic piano sound staid as the timbre changes so much in the register, not to mention based on bow and finger actions, or lack there of. It's a...
These parts are all found on both acoustic and electric guitars, and serve essentially the same purposes in both. Since electric guitars don’t have a soundhole, they require a whole different set of parts to transmute its sounds through an electric amplifier. The parts that are unique to el...

{On Sound:} I was the first to use DiMarzio pickups in a production guitar in 1977. We also built guitars with incredible sustain. Players would gravitate to my brand because of the tones they would get with almost no effort or add-on electronics. Today we do more with pickups and vers...
I mean, samplers hell, these folks don’t even use electric guitars. The thing is, while there is much fascinating and beautiful music to be made with samplers, for many people who adopt the instrument carelessly it becomes a crutch. When each button you press creates not just a note (...
and dancing. The bridges contain pulsating beats with synth and electric guitar that display some elements of electronic sound. During chorus, the song explodes into an upbeat dance-pop number, complete with guitars and electronic drums as Clarkson sings “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger...
