Mixing it up at The Music Spot

The party's over! And there's a few sad and hungover faces around...



We had a great Birthday Week and saw a HUGE amount of stock go flying out the door, a pile of awesome Serenade Spot entries (competition is still going on, check our Facebook and Instagram pages and search #SerenadeSpot to vote!), and we are now back to business as usual, in a brand new Financial Year. So there is a heap of new stock, a bunch of rearranging, and as usual a lot of awesome deals to be had. So you'd better come down and say Happy New Year! :)

Ever thought about becoming a singer? There's a few things you should be aware of before grabbing the nearest mic and letting it rip - we don't want you to damage yourself! So here's 5 things that every singer should know:



1. First of all, it's your whole body that is your instrument - not just your vocal chords. You need to look after your health and fitness so you can put your whole body into projecting your sound, and develop relaxation techniques to give you greater control over your breathing.

2. Second, you may be listening to some amazing singers on Spotify and thinking, man I could never sound like that! But the thing is, learning to sing is just like learning to play any other instrument - it's a skill you can develop. Talent definitely helps the learning process along, but the old saying "anyone can sing" really is true, if you put your heart and your mind to it.

3. Did you know that you sound better the wider open your mouth is? Don't strangle your sound by trying to push it out of a constricted opening. Loosen your jaw, relax the back of your throat (like you are about to yawn), and let it out!

4. Also keep up the water! Hydration is key, both water and lip balm, to ensure a comfortable and smooth delivery of your sound.

5. Finally, YOU CAN DO THIS! Just believe in yourself!

And just to mix things up, it's Mixer Week!



We have lots of great mixers in stock, for all kinds of applications. From the Behringer Xenyx 502, an ultra-compact mixer with a great sound, to the Yamaha MGP16X, a premium mixing console which covers all applications from portable PA to fixed installation. We also have the Presonus AR8, which is an awesome 8 channel compact hybrid mixer, which has a recording function for rehearsals, live shows and studio recording. Lots more in stock, so come and have a look for yourself!
