Technology for Enhancing Your Solo Performance
"ONE GOOD
THING ABOUT
MUSIC
WHEN IT HITS YOU,
YOU FEEL NO PAIN."
Are you musician looking for a band? Are you a young guitarist working on your soloing techniques, but don't have anyone to play with? Technology has come a long way to help you increase your skills and turn your solo performances into beautiful works of art.
Looping
Looping technology has sparked a whole new genre and approach to music. Musicians no longer need a full band to put on a full band performance. Musicians can create layered tracks that repeat themselves until the muscian tells it to stop. This allows a musician to perform other functions during a song in real-time such as playing a guitar solo while a rhythm guitar continues to play in the background. There are even competitions to create the best song using loopers.
Music Production Technology
Garage Band is a fantastic app for any aspiring or even professional musicians out there. It offers users a wide range of instrument and recording options, going way beyond what you’d expect from your average music editing program. You can even play the instruments yourself with amazing accuracy. It’s still obviously not the real thing, but good enough to try your editing skills out on.

Vocal Effects
The latest in vocal technology allows a singer to add texture and harmonize their voice. This is particularly useful in solo performances in small gigs, or when backup singers are not available. This technology adds an element of artistry and helps create a more dynamic performance.
