The Beatles - Yer Blues.
Fault 1 - the panning is uneven, the drums go more to the left ear.
Fault 2 - the panning of the guitar and bass is uneven because some of the sound of the bass comes out stronger on the left ear, and the sound of the guitars come out stronger on the right.
Fault 3 - from 2:21 to 2:53 the main important sound is leaning to the right ear, where on the left ear there is sound that sounds unnecessary and nothing to do with the song, on the left ear it sounds like background noise like people are playing random instruments in the background.
Fault 4 - from 3:17 - 3:19 the drums and guitar is off beat and from what has been playing before 3:17 was in time but then when it got to 3:17 it just goes off time completely.
How to prevent the issues with the panning in this song - the time that this song was recorded they recorded their song with a tape not like the 2000's you can record with logic and fix the panning to be in the middle and even or however you want it to be. they did not have much control of the panning because they did not have the equipment to fix it.
Love - you set the scene
Fault 1 - the panning is straight away wrong, all the guitar strings start on the right ear and then the bass comes in on the left ear, it sounds really uneven, when a song wants to start on one ear then bring instruments together the panning is ment to be in the middle and even to create a full sound, so when the guitar strings is on the right ear and the bass is on the left ear really sounds uneven and your ears dont know witch one to listen to because they are so seperate.
Fault 2 - on 1:13 a violin comes in and it sounds of key and also on the left panning.
to fix this fault they could of made sure they knew what exact note the violin should of come in and made sure the violin was tuned correctly so it would not be able to go out of tune.
Fault 3 - at 2:05 the drums come back in on the left ear and there is bass and drums on the left ear so there is to much pressure on the left ear and too much sound coming out of the left ear.
Fault 4 - the singer goes out of tune and sounds nazely.
to fix this fault the singer couldve made sure he had better listening and be able to hear himself so he can hit the right notes. the singer should take more training to train his voice to be able to hit the right notes and never go flat and out of tune.
Fault 5 - on 5:15 there is a distortion and a fuzziness on the right ear.
to prevent this fuzziness sound you can make sure there is not to much pressure in the instruments and the instruments are not over powering each other by being too loud all the instruments should be played and set in a right level of sound so it would not cause a big fuzziness sound.
to fix the panning in this song it is to do with setting the panning evenly but you can only do this by using a software like logic on a computer if this song was recorded before music programs and electrical computers were made they could not really do anything because they are recording with a simple tape so everything is live. But if they could not of used a music software they could of set the panning to the right level so there was not to much pressure on either the left ear or right ear.

Why Do I Dig It
My chemical romance - welcome to the black parade
My chemical romance - black parade
The instruments: (in order of appearance)
Piano (piano has reverb)
Vocals
Electric Guitar
Drums
Symbols
Bass
Hard to tell but sounds like there is faintly a trumpet.
Song Structure:
Verse 1
Change of speed
Verse 2
Chorus
Verse 3
Chorus
Bridge
Outro hook
Chorus
Outro
With this song the melody structure and instrumental changes contanstly and the band likes to repeat some phrases to send out a message to their audience, and use the instrumental to set the emotion.
The way the singer shows emotion is in the build up the singers voice gets louder and tougher meaning sounding like they are about to cry and by the scream or belted notes gives the song emotion and shows that what the singer is talking about is emotional and important.
The instrumental litteraly messes with your head because it keeps changing levels of volume, speed, harmonies, use of instruments.
This is why the song structure is not simple and easy to undserstand because of the change of speeds and instrumentals and melodies you think to yourself wait is this still the verse or is it a new verse. But the chorus is very obvious because it is repetitive.
You can tell where the bridge of the song is because its after the chorus and changes melody and chords but then after the bridge there is a outro because the singer repeats the same sentence and the way it slows down makes you think the song is ending but then they bring in the chorus again and then sing the outro again.
The build up:
Piano playing single notes to start the song and the rest of the song follows this piano structure. The piano plays slowly.
Verse 1:
After the piano starts the song with a slow speed and gives the singer something to sing to, the singer starts singing 'when i was a young boy'. Then the verse carries on the singer sings the same melody for this verse but the instrumental changes. What they did with this song is build it up but starting it slow then getting louder and louder and stronger and stronger so then when it gets to the second verse the song is speeded up.
So after the singer starts singing with the piano, the drums come in but only on the snare bringing in a simple rythm, a symbol comes in playing what the piano is playing, sounds a octave higher. A electric guitar is added but it sounds like there is 2 guitars one guitar harmonising with the piano and another playing a response to the piano. It sounds like there is a quire singing ahh but singing a harmony to the piano, everything follows the piano because it started the song and is the main focus. Everytime the singer sings a new sentence you can strongly hear the instrumental getting louder and for the start of every beat of the bar something makes a loud strong sound but its hard to tell what it is, there is so much going on you cannot hear every single instument being used you can hear the guitars, the piano, the symbols and the drums.
Instrumental:
In the instrumental after the verse changes the guitar does a melody structure, then the symbols keep the same but adds more harmonies and plays more notes, so does the piano,the drums do a more complex drum beat going around the drum.
And then carrying on from the first verse the singer repeats the first line of the verse but comes in screaming or you could say shouting, so from this point this is where the emotion comes in from the singers voice.
Then when the singer finishes the verse the instruments stop to set a suspense so then after the suspense they pick up the speed and everything is faster and the melodies and harmonies of the instruments change. The speed is picked up because the drums does a fast all round the drums effect and then the guitrs follow. At this point there is only guitars and drums, the guitars are doing chords and there is 2 guitars and one of them is harmonising with the other guitar. The drums plays a full drum beat like in most rock songs.
Verse 2:
In the second verse after the speed is picked up and the instruments are different the singer sings a different melody because of how the notes and chords the guitars are playing.
After the end if every sentence the guitars play 2 snappy chords.
And then throughtout the verse it keeps the same.
Chorus:
Then when it gets to the chorus the guitars harmonise with the melody of the singer, so they change what they play from the first verse.
Verse 3:
Then when it gets to verse 3 everythings the same like verse 2.
Chorus:
Chorus stays the same.
Bridge:
Then there is a bridge and the chords of the guitar change, the singers melody changes, when the singer sings ohhh there is backing singers harmonsing with the ohh.
Outro 1:
In the first outro the speed slows down and he sings a different melody and repeats the same line, the instruments change and harmonise and follow the melody hes singing. But then the speed picks up again for the last chorus and the octave goes higher so everything is an octave higher then the other chorus's. then the outro comes again and the song ends with the snare doing a simple drum beat again and then ends with a sound of a bomb or a gun shot.

Royalties
Royalties:
The music industry is based around artist's, composers, writers, producers and musicians. Each of these roles have to either create original songs or perform for other people, or perform covers. This could be performed live or recorded as a track to be broadcasted. That is where i am going to talk about royalties witch works around recordings of songs and how they sell, get broadcasted, and most importantly who gets payed for what. Over time the industry gets busier and busier and harder and harder so because technology has been built the industry has found ways to keep organised with money.
Royalties are where the roles get payed for their rights in the recordings and in the creating process, and also where the recordings get broadcasted. Royalties found a organised way to get the roles payed fairly, but each role needs to sign up for a certain collection agency and there are 3 types of collection agencies.
Collection agencies:
PPL - Phonographic performance limited.
PRS - performing right society.
MCPS - mechanical copyright protection society.
PPL:
To get royalties from ppl you have to perform on a recording of a song so that could mean playing a specific instrument, singing on the song, singing back up, talking on the song, rapping on the song, basically anything that means performing on the song, could be something different to those things. For example: when a artist is recording a song and wants other people to perform on the song with them, when the recorded song is broadcasted the performers and the musicans earn money whenever the song gets played.
No one else can get royalties from ppl only performers on the track.
You dont need to pay to join ppl it costs no money.
PRS:
To get rights from prs you have to be the composer or writer of the recorded song, composers and writers get rights from prs when they write and create a recorded track and that track gets published and performed on broadcasts whenever their creation of music gets performed or played they earn money. Only they can earn the money, they can get people to perform for them but they wont earn money for their work they have to sign up to ppl royalties to earn money for performing for other people.
So for example: a writer writes a brand new song and wants to record it, they get the performers to sing, play do whatever they need to do then the track gets finished and it gets published and used for all sort of broadcasted things, so whenever their song gets used the writers or composers earn money EVERY time the song gets used.
It is not free to join prs you have to pay £10 to be able to join for life.
There are payments made in april, july, october and december.
MCPS:
Mcps is the technical side of the recorded songs, mcps is eligble for the record label owners, the owners that make copyrights on the songs and basically own the song and everything to do with recording, bascially the record label owners.
What happens is someone will come and record their song but the record label make copyrights on it and build their rights that they own the track and the track was recorded with them, so when the track gets published to the shops and when people start buying the track wherever the track is available to buy the record label earn money because its their copyrights.
If the record label uses a publisher the publisher earns money from their behalf.
Tv and film:
When your songs get used on tv or film it earns the roles money, but the tv and film need lisence to be able to use the songs.
What if there was so lisence and copyright?
If there was no lisence and copyright the roles that record their songs would not earn enough money or maybe not money at all because without lisence or copyrights companys and buyers would just use the recorded tracks with no cost of money and would not get in trouble for using someone elses song without permission, the lisence gives directors, radio stations, tv studios etc permission to use their song but if they want to use the certain song more then once they would have to get lisence for them. The copyrights is made from the record label if a company or anyone does not buy the copyrighted tracks they are known for copyrighting because they are using the song without paying the owner of it.
It is important if the industry had copyrights and lisence because they would not earn their money and would not get their rights because every company would be using their song without people knowing that the record label own the track and the artist or whoever made the track made it. So thats why there is lisence and copyrights for people to get permission and earn the record label, publishers, composers, writers and musicians their money.
