Hey Randy It depends on the function of the lyrics. Some lyrics the main function is only to convey emotional snippets that compliment the melody and arrangement, others deliver a message, others tell a story. Sometimes the lyrics are the most important component of the song, others again they are playing the supporting role. So.... What makes good lyrics? Memorability Suitability to purpose Ability to evoke suitable emotion(s). Often an emotional journey. The integrity of the lyrics (emotional, themeatical etc) Connectability, accessability Good lyrics also tend to show the singer in a good light, even in protest songs! More contentious is the fact that it doesn't matter how good the song is if no one knows about it so... I'll add: A good quality, effective promotion campaign Fundamentally fans need to want to listen to it, over and over again... and want to share it with other people. That is only achieved when you have all of the above. And for longevity: Subsequent, periodic promotion campaigns A fanbase

Software To Match Midi To Audio
john replied to BigBubbaBrown's topic in Music Production and Recording
Blender doesn't support SMPTE? Wow. There must be a SMPTE time code converter you can use. In terms of generating that time code just about any DAW should be able to generate it (set to master and to actually produce the code). I did a wuick search and found this: http://blendit.xaa.pl/index.php?p=middrv&l=eng Hopefully that is of help. If not, if there is one, perhaps there are others. Many thanks for your offer of help with Blender. Very much appreciated. My initial interest was for 3d modelling and animation. The idea of combining greenscreen with those 3d models is quite appealing. Available time is an issue right at the moment. I'm in the middle of a major re-work of Songstuff. It should be completed in a month or two and at that point I'll be able to able to get back to my other creative interests including completing an album and video creation. Will it be okay to contact you at that point? Thanks again John -

Software To Match Midi To Audio
john replied to BigBubbaBrown's topic in Music Production and Recording
Hey I would try using SMPTE code and / or one of the midi sync options (probably Midi Time Code - MTC) You might find this article a useful introduction: http://midi.songstuff.com/article/MIDI_sync/ Give me a shout if you have a specific question you think I can help with, though much of it is experimenting with the options. Do you use Blender a lot? I found it very flexible but the interface was really cumbersome to get into because of just that. Time being a limited factor my little side investigation of Blender didn't go very far. What sort of things have you used Blender for? What is your main vid editor software? Cheers John -
