The Dangers of Listening to Music While Driving

on

 

Loud music in the automobile is not exclusive to the younger age. This isn’t a new activity, but the kind of music being played has changed. It’s inconvenient to pull up to a stoplight and be able to feel the bass from another Honda passport car, particularly if you can’t hear the music.

It’s a bit more manageable if it’s banging to the sounds of your favorite band. So, what’s wrong with blasting your music while driving? Here are some of the reasons why drivers are distracted by loud music.

#1 – Trying to Find Music

We’ve all done it: taken our eyes off the road for a few seconds to change the radio station. If you listen to CDs in your vehicle, you may find yourself rummaging through your CD case for your favorite record while driving down the road. Both are instances of the kind of distractions that might occur while looking for music.

Our music players, no matter how handy they have grown, are still unsafe to use while driving. You may have a basic vehicle radio or use Bluetooth to stream music from your phone.

#2 – Daydreaming & Hypnosis on the Highway

Music evokes memories. Certain music may transport you to a happy memory from your past. When those specific tunes come on, it’s easy to get caught up in recollections or daydreams.

Highway hypnosis is the act of dropping out for a brief period of time while driving. Drivers might get focused on a certain point in front of them and lose sight of the job at hand: properly driving their car. This may happen at any time of day or night if a motorist gets focused on the yellow line.

#3 – Ignoring the presence of emergency vehicles

When a vehicle, such as a fire engine or an ambulance, responds to a call, it is almost always a life-threatening scenario. There’s an issue if you can’t hear their sirens as they approach your bumper. Reduce the volume of the radio! Your blaring music might prevent someone from obtaining life-saving medical treatment. Is it really worth it?

 

Adjusting Spotify Setting for a Better Sound of Music

on

If you’re not satisfied with your current pair of headphones, speakers or earbuds for the holidays (or they are old), try changing some settings in Spotify to make music sound even better. The streaming app is considered as one of the best apps available on phone devices!

Here are some ways to guarantee a good sound of music on your iPhone or mobile device.

Adjust Spotify’s Base Volume

Did you know that Spotify permits users to modify its base volume depending on where they are? It’s so cool!

Here’s how:

  1. Go into the Spotify app.
  2. Click on the icon situated on the top right position of the screen.
  3. Press the playback option close to the top of the menu.
  4. Look for the Volume Level.
  5. Under that, there are three available options – Quiet, Normal, and Loud.

The right sound can help you focus. The wrong one, not so much!

You might not know this, but there are a lot of different kinds of sounds and moods. Some people love listening to music while they work on an essay. So, the Quiet Volume Level may go best for this.

Moreover, for that morning sweat session at the gym – maybe you’re one who would like to listen on a Loud Volume Level. Choose whichever sound level makes sense to suit your needs best

Understanding Pop Music. What Is A Good Pop Voice?

on

If you listen to a handful of different pop singers, you will notice that each one of them is vocal in its own way. Phil Collins sounds very different from Michael Jackson’s vocals because, apart from his own vocal color, he also uses other vocal stylistic devices in his songs. Nevertheless, both are well-known singers from the pop genre.

What is pop and how long has pop music been around?

If you start researching pop music and pop singing, you come across different descriptions and approaches. Everyone tries to outline what exactly pop music is. The free encyclopedia Wikipedia, for example, describes pop music as follows: […] The pop music produced for the “mainstream” does not only refer to its own original tradition from the vaudeville (an early form of the French hit song), the folk song, and the art song but incorporates various current styles of music. In doing so, it usually removes the complexity of the original forms of music, removes what is unusual and irritating for the common listening habits, in order to make them more accessible and consumable for a broad mass of people. […] The Beatles and Abba were among the first known pop groups of the 1960s and 1970s. Both groups reached a large audience around the world and brought completely new impulses to the musical landscape with their music.

What is good pop music?

This question is a very personal question that has a very personal answer. Because in the end, everyone should be able to decide for themselves what kind of pop music or pop voice they want to embody. So whether you choose the mainstream or the revolutionary offensive one.

Then singing according to this genre can be very easy. For every expression, there are good role models that you can find for yourself and whose vocal and personal diversity you can draw a lot for yourself.

What does a typical pop voice sound like?

“Allowed” is vocally that which pleases, is current and hip, or sounds like something completely new. If you listen through the pop voices in the various examples listed above, you come across sound features such as:

  • Vibrato
  • Breaks from chest to head voice
  • Head voice
  • Breathy singing
  • Distortion / scratchy voices
  • Ad Libs
  • Twang
  • Belting
  • Vocal seat far back (dumplings)

These “vocal effects” listed are also a good guide to what you can practice getting your voice ready for pop songs. Of course, you can also add the vocal sounds and sound characteristics that you find in your role models to this list. And don’t forget your “secret ingredient” that makes you stand out vocally from everything.

What exactly is it that makes a good pop voice?

Despite the many possibilities of using the voice in pop songs, they all have one thing in common: an appearance that is independent of their voices and a distinctive appearance.
