DOES MUSIC SOUND BETTER WITH THE DISPLAY TURNED OFF?

These days when we listen to music we normally see some form of display, either LED lights, flashing lights on a hi-fi, computer screen, phone etc. Some of these visuals can create electrical noise.
As a mix & mastering engineer I do at some stage when mixing & mastering close my eyes so I can listen to the music (audio) better (I'm not focusing on the screen or any visuals).
Researchers have tested, if you listen to music with your eyes closed there is more brain activity. It seems when you're listening to music (audio) with visuals your brain doesn't have to work as hard.
I found listening to music with no display enables me to hear the music (audio) more clearly (yes it might sound silly).
If you think about out we listen to music with our ears not our eyes.

Until next time

FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK: JELLY CLEAVER

Hi! Everyone, this week's FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK is the very talented singer-songwriter, musician & producer JELLY CLEAVER JELLY CLEAVER Please introduce yourself I’m a singer-songwriter, jazz guitarist and producer. I’m also an activist and this really influences my music and the lyrics I write. I love lots of different genres so have quite an eclectic style and like to throw myself into different music scenes. I’m really into the jazz scene and the punk/DIY scene in London at the moment. How did you get into music? I started playing guitar as soon as I could hold one pretty much because my dad was a guitar teacher, and I’ve always had a really deep connection to music. I’ve tried lots of different aspects of music out though, from leading an African singing and drumming ensemble to starting a rock band. I just love music in all its forms. What instruments do you play? Guitar’s my first instrument but when I’m reco...

GRANDE ARTIST?

ARIANA GRANDE is no stranger to the charts. Recently ARIANA managed to get the top 1, 2 & 3 spots on the billboard top 100 charts simultaneously. The last time this happened was in 1964 by THE BEATLES who got all 5 top spots. At the moment 11 songs from her album 'Thank you, Next' album are in the top 40. (The only song from the album that hasn't made the top 40 is 'Make up'). DRAKE nearly managed this when 2 of his songs were at spots 1 & 2 & 4 simultaneously. That is a great achievement for ARIANA Until Next Time Law OFFICIAL WEBSITE LW MUSIC SERVICES (Mixing & Mastering) TWITTER FACEBOOK (Law) FACEBOOK (LW Music Services) FACEBOOK (The Solar project) YOUTUBE
