What materials are soundproof?

No materials are soundproof. Only the absence of air (a vacuum) prevents the transmission of sound.

Many materials can absorb most of the energy of sound and minimize sound reflections or sound being transmitted through it.

What is the best recording mic?

There is no definitive 'best recording microphone'. Perhaps a more valid question would be what is the best microphone for a particular situation taking into account the sound sources involved, accoustic environment, desired quality of the recorded sound and your budget.

Research into the characteristics of the various types of microphones (eg: condenser, dynamic, ribbon etc.) and the various attributes of different mics (eg: polar patterns, frequency response etc) if you haven't already done so and then research opinions and reviews of particular model(s) you may have your eye on to help conclude whether the desired mic(s) are suitable for your needs. For an introduction to microphone technology I think the page below is a good start.

It's important to note that although particular mics may be deemed 'good' or 'bad', no one microphone can be considered a 'catch all' solution.

What is the best computer for mixing and mastering music?

Pretty much almost any Mac. It's best to get the one with the most RAM because audio files take up a lot of space. Macs are known for quick performance and not as many glitches as other computers. But its a highly debated subject whether Macs or PCs are better. But personally I would recommend a Mac. They're designed to take on tasks such as mixing and storing audio files.

Does Bobby Martin From Philadelphia Own Bobby Martin Productions?

Bobby Martin is a famous music producer, he's well known for his colorful and soulful arrangements and orchestrations. Bobby Martin is the owner of Bobby Martin Productions, he is also that Philly Sound Producer that contributed so much to what we know today as "The Sound of Philadelphia" (TSOP). Without Bobby Martin, Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff there wouldn't be a Philly Sound (TSOP). Bobby Martin is not mentioned in Kenny Gamble and Leon Huffs bio or in many of the articles released on Philadelphia International Records. He produced, arranged and composed hit after hit while working for Philadelphia Records. In fact Bobby Martin was producing hit records in Philadelphia before Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff ever began producing records. Bobby Martin was a mentor and a big encouragement to Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff in their early years. Bobby Martin Produced Kiss And Say Goodbye in Philadelphia, Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls, MFSB, and the list goes on and on. The Philadelphia Soul producer is mentioned in most of the old articles that were published in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. why Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff have not mentioned Bobby Martin as being any more than a mere musician on sessions is in sane. Once in a while Bobby Martin is mentioned as a petty arranger that arranged once or twice. Bobby Martin was Kenny Gamble and Leon Huffs head arranger that they used on all of their biggest hits, "every hit song." Bobby Martin Produced some of their Biggest hits. He was the bandleader of Philadelphia Records in house band that they used on all of their recording sessions for all of their artists. Bobby Martin won the Grammy for the song "T.S.O.P" with the MFSB. Bobby Martin wrote songs for Nancy Wilson, Lou Rawls and Billy Paul to name only a few, while working at Philadelphia International Records. Some people say that Bobby Martin discovered and founded disco music in the 1970s'. Others have called Bobby Martin The Granddaddy of R&B. One thing for sure, he did much more than arrange one or two songs at Philadelphia international records. Bobby Martin was and is the backbone of the 1970's soul and R&B music. His track record proves that he had out produced and arranged even the legendary Quincy Jones throughout the 1970's. Bobby Martins name is on all of Philadelphia International Records biggest hits, and Bobby himself has produced, arranged and written hundreds of hit songs. Producer Bobby Martins discography supports what I have just stated. This Bobby Martin started out producing in Philadelphia from the late 1950s until 1980, he was not with Motown Records. He had independent contracts with other record labels as well. But we all know him as the Philadelphia Arranger and Producer named Bobby Martin. This accurate information is not mentioned on any of Philadelphia International Records Websites etc. nor on any of Kenny Gamble and Leon Huffs articles. I assume that this is why people have asked if Bobby Martin had worked for Motown rather than Philadelphia International Records. Others assume that Bobby Martin is dead, or that he was never in Philadelphia and never existed, due to what they have seen on certain individuals websites. The Philadelphia Producer Bobby Martin is alive and well. While I searched online for the truth I found other Bobby Martins that were trying to steal his Identity. One person had the audacity to say that they owned Bobby Martin Productions. I'm glad that I did my research, regardless of what anyone has said it's clear to me that Bobby Martin is that Philadelphia Soul arranger and producer that brought us hit after hit. He is the Granddaddy of Philadelphia soul and R&B! I salute Bobby Martin, he is a legend in the music industry.

What type of laptop software etc would you need to start recording and editing music?

Laptops are not strongly advised to record music with due to them previously not being able to compare with the power of desktops and hardware audio workstations. You would need one with generally good memory (RAM - 2gb minimum) and speed (the processor - around dual 3.2 ghz minimum.) Take the Hard Drive space into consideration as audio files can be quite big. Also, be aware of the sound card, some laptops may not support the software you use, however this is probably unlikely.

What is one disadvantage of analog recording?

There are several, but I would choose degradation of copies as the most obvious.

If you have ever made a photocopy of a photocopy, you will see the evidence of analog degradation - more spots or "noise" on the later copy. The same thing happens with analog recordings - as you make a copy, the "noise" (unwanted parts like hiss, clicks, fuzziness of images, etc.) increases. By the time you have made a copy of a copy of a copy, there will be a noticeable difference in quality from the original version.

How do you use Mario paint composer?

Mario Paint Composer is a music-making program. At the top, you see many icons from (and some not) the Mario games. Click an icon to hear what it sounds like. (ex. the game console makes a beep sound, the car makes a honk (like a car honking) sound) After you choose the one that you like, left click on a section of the staff to put it in place. When you are done with your masterpiece, you can click the "rewind" button found at the bottom right corner of your Mario Paint Composer window. Then you can press the "play" button in the bottom right corner of the window, next to the "stop" button. You can erase by right clicking, or taking the Erase Tool, next to the loop button, next to the play button. You can make sharps and flats, too. For sharps you hold the shift key while placing the note. For flats you hold the Ctrl or Alt key while placing the note. At the top right corner, you can switch from making a song, to combining together songs you made to make with the arranger mode! (like, if you want to repeat a song over and over... that's what you use.) To make it faster or slower, you use the slider at the bottom. And next to the temp changer, you can change it to three-fourths time or four-fourths time. Hope this helped!

Happy Composing!!!!!!!!
