Re: [arr] Re: Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[wiredbeats]

No!.. the song is fine. Its how all themes have been. Just get football themes 
out of the head and you will find the CWG theme is apt!

Then we have a difference in Opinion :-)

I think if it was not the Oscars and Grammys , People in india would have 
neglected ( or not realized) that song.Something like what is being done with 
CWG theme.

Sometimes it has to come from the other end of the world , then only we 
appreciate things .

[arr] Read this : CWG 2006 theme song..equally slow

[wiredbeats]

Most of us forgot one point. The CWG theme songs have always been this way

Listen to Delta Goodrem's - Together We Are One. Its even slower than our 
Rahman's theme for 2010. Knowing this, our panelists and media made a huge 
noise 
of not being close to Waka Waka.

Heres the video for 2006 theme song 
 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNsrzw8T4U4 

Btw Waka Waka is effectively part remix. It's sampled out of an old African 
song 
called zanglewa and has the same chorus lines

See the thing is. Common Wealth Games, Asiad Games and even olympics are more 
to 
maintain international diplomacy and sporting culture. It is not an 
'international contest' in the sense that world cup football or cricket is. 
Hence creating public euphoria by making a dance hall theme song is not the 
purpose. Atleast thats not how it has been for such things..

Heres the theme song for Asiad Games 1982 held in New Delhi 
: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKikKRPiaXE  

So, Rahman's anthem is in-line with the pace and purpose of such games as they 
have always been. Media has just gone mad this time...thats all

Regards

Re: [arr] Are you for or against ARR redoing CWG theme song

[wiredbeats]

No! I hope the song is NOT redone. It wont go well for Rahman in the long run. 
Because the critics will slam it again and that time it would be " Rahman fails 
again..". 

If at all there is a slightly modified version, he better perform it live an 
surprise us all!  

However, we all need the video our urgently. Unless the video is cancelled due 
to the hammering the song received.

I hope!

-
The verdict is in. 'Swagatham', A R Rahman’s anthem for the Commonwealth Games, 
has received anything but rapturous welcome.

People who have heard it are cool, downloads are flat, music professionals are 
looking away – even politicians are denouncing the song.

The slow-paced number, sung by Rahman himself, has got everyone wondering 
whether this is what the Games deserves. Worse, Rahman’s own claim that the 
song 
would be hotter than Shakira’s World Cup 2010 anthem 'Waka-Waka' has fallen 
flatter than some of his notes.
While everyone may wonder what went wrong, it’s worth remembering that Rahman, 
for all his apparent Midas touch with melody, has had his share of duds. 
Unfortunately, the tune that the nation was looking forward to has turned out 
to 
be one of them.

Some of the songs Rahman composed in his early years for Malayalam and Telugu 
films have remained unpopular.

Fans who have grown used to the trademark Rahman style over the years have also 
complained the composer is repeating himself.

Towering expectations of the man dubbed “Mozart of Madras” of repeating the 
legendary success of ‘Roja’ in every film may have also led to a slump in 
quality in some soundtracks.

“I’ve heard better from Rahman,” was the common sentiment on the streets when 
“Jai Ho” received international acclaim.

Here, then, are Rahman’s top 10 dud soundtracks from a musical career spanning 
almost 20 years – songs that have either bombed at the charts or simply faded 
from memory for lack of fizz:

1. 'Swagatham': A nation, eagerly awaiting its own ‘Waka Waka’ from its trusted 
composer, is bitterly disappointed at the outcome of the Commonwealth Games 
anthem. Critics call it a “cacophony” while fans find the punch missing.

2. 'Raavan': The music of Raavan is dark and appeals to specific audiences. One 
of the most anticipated films of 2010, Rahman brings in contemporary techno and 
marries it off to Punjabi folk creating tracks like ‘Thok de killi’ that lack 
the hummability of ‘Behne de’ or its staying power. 


3. 'Fire': Rahman composed the background score for Deepa Mehta's Fire. It had 
the appeal of any Rahman classic but failed to leave a mark in India as the 
soundtrack was available only through mail order from a German company.

4. 'Vinnaithandi Varuvaaya': Rahman’s Tamil album comes after a hiatus of two 
years and disappointed fans say the songs lack character.

5. 'Parasuram': Rahman tries to experiment with lyrics in ‘Jack and Jill’ and 
the effect is disastrous. Fans trash the music of this 2003 starrer and ‘Dolna 
Dolna’ is the only song that leaves a mark in an album that has songs sung by 
Hariharan.

6. 'Jeans': After a decade, ‘Ajooba’ sang by Hariharan is the only Jeans 
soundtrack that sticks with audiences. Beautiful lyrics by Javed Akhtar and 
Hariharan’s lilting vocals failed to move traditional Rahman fans looking for 
more than just instrumental fusions and contemporary background score. 


7. 'Mr. Romeo': This Prabhu Deva starrer had songs such as “Mona Lisa” composed 
by Rahman that faded with the film.

8. 'Yodha': An off beat Malyalam film that had Buddhist music in it, shifting 
away from the usual Rahman style.

9. 'Lovebirds': ‘No Problem’ – perhaps the only song that has outstayed the 
film’s shelf life – is part of a collection put together by Rahman that is 
mostly forgettable. 


10. 'Kadhal Desam': Rahman sang some of the tracks of the 1996 Tabbu starrer. 
While Mustafa Mustafa went on to become a hit with several versions being 
replicated on the internet by budding artists, numbers such as 'Hello Doctor' 
never caught on.

Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take

[wiredbeats]

No brother. I don't think he can morally refuse projects of this kind. For 
it is the govenment who conferred him with padma titles and his very first 
award for his first movie roja! 

He is a valuable national asset. 

As a good citizen he must accept the honor that india bestows on him for such 
project. 

Controversies do come to play. But that's  part of the package. 

:)

Vivek ( wiredbeats) 

Re: [arr] CWG track..heres my take

[wiredbeats]

Common wealth games is a non profit trust registered under Indian trust act. 
and they should by law publish the expenses they incurred. If that's the 
case we would know about the fees charged for the theme song sooner or later. 

I don't think it's that exorbitant. anyways. I checked there is no 
record of financials in the CWG website. 

ideally they should publish the fees paid to rahmans's office as he is 
effectively a vendor providing a services.

Re: [arr] Cry.. Cry...

[wiredbeats]

Good reply for CWG officials. Next line should be crib crib itna crib kartey 
kaiku ..!!! Lol 

what a timing. 

[arr] CWG track..heres my take

[wiredbeats]

Few years back, i was in a gathering where people were sayin AR Rahman is 
spoiling the present music scene with 'computer music' and all his songs sound 
same with 'western beats' and no proper pronunciation. 

I ignored it and later played this track called Poo Kodiyin Punnagai from 
Iruvar. They all said" look at those days music..what melody and each word 
is so clear and soft to ears...these days rahman and other can't even imaging 
to 
compose music like this!"

to this i replied ..." This track is by AR Rahman ..from Iruvar.. .." they were 
just dump struck and chewed their own words..

( for those of you unaware, this track sounds very retro like those in Black 
and 
White days..killer track!!)

So the point is, if we approach things with pre-conceived notion, nothing can 
change the mindset.

Commonwealth games has a not lot negative air now. What with scams, incomplete 
works and New Delhi dug up...people are not happy. One theme song can't improve 
things and it will succumb to pressures. Even if Rahman would have composed a 
fast track like Waka Waka, Maro Maro ( Boys)...people would have said the same.

We are dealing with politicians here...remember!

So chill.

New Delhi:  A R Rahman's Commonwealth Games theme song has failed to impress 
the 
CWG Organising Committee's Executive Board member V K Malhotra, who feels the 
composition has "fallen short of expectations".

"Oh yaaro, yeh India bula liya", which was launched amid much fanfare by the 
Oscar-winning composer yesterday has been given a thumbs down by Malhotra, who 
has suggested that the song be reworked.

"This song has fallen short of expectations. We had a expected a better anthem 
for the Games from a composer of Rahman's status," Malhotra, also the 
vice-president of the Indian Olympic Association, said.

"He has given some very good songs like 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' but this song is not 
that impressive. We hope that the song is made better because there  is still 
some time for the Games," he added.

Rahman sang it in front of a gathering which included Delhi Chief Minister 
Sheila Dikshit, her Haryana counterpart Bhupinder Singh Hooda and CWG 
Organising 
Committee Chairman Suresh Kalmadi yesterday.

"I feel honoured to get the opportunity to compose the theme song for the 
mega-event. It was not  an easy task. I had started composing it six months ago 
and finished just last night," Rahman said after the launch.

The launch of the theme song had been delayed after the Group of Ministers 
overseeing the quadrennial sporting extravaganza asked Rahman to change it a 
little bit.

[arr] Ek Lo Ek Muft - The Fusion Rock version

[wiredbeats]

Hey all,

Just few days ago someone from this gang posted in facebook a rock version of 
Urvasi Urvasi played  by a Kolkatha band. Parts of it were super.

Then i remembered i once did a version mix of Ek Lo Ek Muft which i left half 
cooked for 6 months..

Actually,Sometime ago, there was a track of Rod Stewart playing on the radio 
when i accidently played Rahman’s song Ek Lo Ek Muft from Guru. They both 
sounded great together, as in the groove of the song changed but the feel was 
very interesting.I felt a rock mix of that kind would be great, so decided to 
give it a shot. Heres how i think a Rock fusion mix of that super original 
track 
from Guru sounds like.

I hope you like it guys. Its just for fun...with respect

When Mettalica released their album Death metalic, few sections of the devoted 
fans blasted the sound quality. While most of them loved the album in it 
totality. The minority of fans who disliked the album found another strange 
thing.

Few select tracks from the album were included in the popular console game 
guitar hero and the versions in guitar hero was far more clear as against the 
heavily compressed and noisy tracks in the CD.

Soon, the fans made such a noise that they forced the recording company to send 
the entire album for re-mastering. The minority of fans who started the noise 
that the album sucks, became a potent force for metallica band to relook at the 
way their albums are recorded and engineered.

I know the whole story and its very interesing on how few fans, moved the 
metallica band and their recording company.But thats for later.

To me...this is the true fan base.This what an accomplished artist requires. A 
brutal fan base, which does not dilute reviews and certianly does not worship 
everything thats churned out.

We as Rahman fan group are evolving and we will get there in terms of maturity. 
As such, already we together comprise the most intelligent and organised fan 
group any indian artist has.

So lets give people some room to be critical and even harsh at times. No 
problem. Not liking an song or album is as normal as liking.
you gotta be kidding if you say, i like all of rahman's tracks. Even he himself 
may not be liking all!

Shai,

is this the same guy who thought Raavan was a "my god" album! You even said 
that 
it was better than VTV and a masterpiece. What happened? And don't worry, Mani 
Ratnam is not going Harris Jeyeraj's way. And to answer your question

"wat international commitments have made him today...nothing..."

Have you forgotten the "international commitment" that brought AR two 
significant Oscars along with many other reputed music awards bestowed on an 
Indian for the first time! Come on Shai. Please try not to use phrases like " 
it 
makes me sic". AR is not our property. He is not our slave for him to do 
"something for us because we are his fans". He should be and is a slave to 
music 
and only music-that's why we are here.  I think he deserves respect for that 
and 
enjoy what we can. Not all his albums may please you but remember that it 
pleases someone else out there. That's life. "Like a box of chocolates! "

Dearest AR fans, Please take a few minutes of the 3rd original tamil  song that 
I've composed & arranged. I would be delighted to hear some comments from 
fellow 
rahmaniacs, as my passion to make music started right from the time I listened 
to Roja :-). AR is a super influence on me and the fact that rookies like me 
can 
make music from home, it just shows how much AR is indirectly contributing to 
the world of Music. He is not only an influence to an ordinary person like me 
but also to the Industry big heads to make better Music. AR has given Indian 
Music a solid identity in the world stage and I'm just super proud to be called

Re: [arr] what is mixing, mastering?

[wiredbeats]

mixing is putting all stems ( tracks like voicem,bass,synth,drums etc etc) 
together so they make a coherent song and each layer dont fight for space. 
Mastering is adding the final touches by taking care of the dynamics, limiters 
etc

mastering also takes care of volume levels for all songs in CD compilation as 
per red book standards

this is just simply put

many great engineers say a good mix of a song does not require mastering..

I beg to differ with your view points on Irumbile Oru Idhayam. Its not a 
masterpiece and its not my favourite in the soundtrack, yes but it is 
definitely 
not noisy or weak. In my opinion, its a typical AR techno song like Yaakai 
Thiri 
or Shano Shano and I like the feel of it. 

Trust me I hated both Yaakai Thiri and Shano Shano when I first listened to 
them. Though Shano Shano just managed to become a song I liked in the 
album, 
Yaakai Thiri became my favourite in Aayitha Ezhuthu. Just listen to 
Irumbile Oru 
Idhayam a few more times. I am sure it'll grow on u. 

And looks like AR has created this to satisfy one major portion of the 
Rajini 
fan following- Kids. I am sure kids would get addicted to this song..

Jai Ho!

Re: [arr] My notes on enthiran

[wiredbeats]

Ya. I am not saying its a bad track. Its just too ordinary. Such arrangements 
were seen in the 90s by bands like 2-unlimited, Snap and few more. Later some 
teen pop bands like Aqua, Abba Teens etc retained the same style with newer 
sounding patterns and sequence.

May be its the scripts requirement or perhaps ( and this is what i think...) 
that if rahman and his team provided a more advanced arrangement, the masses 
wont understand it and give a thumbs down.

I think this because, the track NaNa from Couple's Retreat was just awesome. 
The 
arrangements and feel was truly global. Sounded like bands - inner circle or 
Bob 
Marley. 

anywaysfor now i will stop with Puthiya Manitha and Kilimanjaro..

wow! nice read wiredbeats. I may have some of remixes from your website!!we 
need 
experts pov for Rahman album!something to learn and enjoy!  btw..I cudnt get 
why 
you call Irumbile oru idhyam or even Fanaa a flat track. I remember shankar 
saying in the audio launch that he wanted a song for bringing the emotions in 
the robot. Rahman tried 3 to 4 times and came up with this finally loved by 
Shankar. as you said, teh flow is being interrupted. I believe thefirst 3 tunes 
might have satified music lovers but then, it doesnt works that way I guess. I 
dont know its fair to compare a techno-trance album with Rahman's situational 
song in endhiran. after repeated listening, Im hooked to this song, it brings a 
little south music taste in it..."Kaaadhal ahzaikudho"!!. I guess I get what 
you 
are saying..Rahman not changing the rhythm, the whole song, knowing Rahman who 
is the best bringing different moods uin the samme song! I believe there will 
be 
a reason for this vision in the oscar winner's mind! ;)

"I robo un kadhil I love u sollata" !!! nice. Rahman cud have avoided the 
keisha 
like rap in between!! but then it sounds good too!

[arr] My notes on enthiran

[wiredbeats]

Hello all,

I have not written a review of any album so far in this group in the last 8 odd 
years of being around. I think its been that long...what with so many good 
reviewers around such as Chord etc, we are well balanced.

I just thought this time i would attempt to sort of share some notes on 
enthiran.

Enthiran did not require any brilliance in actual composition, the whole sound 
track needed lot of energy and some out of the world programming and mixing 
expertise. The concept of the sound track of enthiran suits all gizmos and toys 
that today almost all good composers have or can gain access to. It is the 
balance of what to use, how much to use to strike a trade-off between noise and 
music. This trade-off is seen in its absolute best in the first track of the 
CD. 

I am great fan of electronica -  house, techno, beach house,down tempo and 
lounge music produced by lables such as Ministry of sound, Hed Kandi and few 
select DJ/programmers such as Armin Van Burren, Ferry Corsten, ATB, Moby to 
name 
a few. What these guys ensure is that the overall feel of the song, the 
production values are so damn rich that you feel that extra cash that you spend 
on your expensive CD system is well spent. They many not always produce melody, 
but the rhythm, the bass, the ambient pads, synths used are chosen and placed 
with such perfection that a rather simple 4x4 beat track sounds awesome. Rahman 
has a team that achieves and exceeds the standards set by such international 
artists. However, in the context of film songs such brilliance are 
often interrupted by the demands of the song,situation and directors brief. And 
i think striking a balance is very tough given so many strings pulling. If you 
remove the strings, Rahman's music becomes more free flowing and thats why 
Vande 
Mataram and his latest god level tracks in Nokia Connections album are talked 
about.

Now, if you listen to puthiya manitha, the first track in enthiran disc -  the 
samples used, the structuring of the song, the reverb and the overall usage of 
the stereo soundscape has come out so well that it is an absolute satisfaction. 
The dept of the kick (beat), the open and closed HiHats, the rising and falling 
synths are right there where the best of the music producers operate. I mean 
when  i heard it for the first time and after the Khatija's lines are over i 
felt ..It would be great if he introduces a layer of soft kicks with prominent 
highs and sort of make the track flow into the mainline. And it happened and 
happened so well. This is strikingly brilliant. It feels rich.

Same is the case with Khilimanjaro track. The taiko drums sink deep and uses 
all 
the stereo landscape such an instrument needs. Taiko drums have a very loud 
character to it. Once you introduce it in a song, you must be careful not to 
under utilise it because energy levels in the song will drop so badly that you 
would start to loose interest. Over usage would be very irritating. 
Khilimanjaro 
is a fairly simple track and has a of space to breath. This makes it very 
catchy 
and to top it, the production values are awesome.

The problem comes in the other track - Irumbile oru idhayam. This is a very sad 
and average track. It seems to be put in a hurry. Very ordinary. When i heard 
it 
first i felt the track is going to take off in an another level when Kash n 
krisshy start their lines, those vocals sounded so classy, so global and so 
trance. But then the song remained the same with some loose lyrics. Not done, 
this is the weakest track. 

Infact, Trance has never been Rahman's forte. That track - Kellamal Kayile from 
Azhagiya Tamil Magan was very sad too. It had a template beat and fell flat in 
the first 60 second. Infact, i don't like Fanaa from Yuva either. Its very 
jarring. Going by the standard set in Puthiya manitha, irumbile oru idhyam 
should have sounded something like 9PM by ATB or check out Ferry corsten's 
latest release called Twice in a Blue moon. I am comparing for a 
reasonRahman need not produce flat tracks like this. 

Chitti Dance showcase is playing with toys and super interesting and fun to 
listen to.Perhaps even better fun to watch the video. But thats it. 

Rest of the tracks are ok. Good, for a change Yogi B has been used instead of 
Blaaze. He is good, but Yogi B gives a good break from Blaaze.

However, what is satisfing with Enthiran is it 'sounds good' and achives its 
purpose. There is no great melody, just the overall feel of the disc is very 
positive and one does not go through dips and rises. 

More than Rahman, i congratulate K.J. Singh and Deepak P.A for setting a 
standard of production values. We have come a long way from the trash sounding 
BLUE to some awesome sounding VTV, Puli and Enthiran. Skipping Raavan(an)...i 
don't know whats wrong what that album...i have forgotten it!

And belive me guys when i say this...Enthiran NEEDS and CD. You loose the 
maximum when you convert in MP3. The loss is noticab

Re: [arr] Re: No more Bollywood for Rahman! - TOI Article

[wiredbeats]

I dont trust this article. Rahman will never make a statement like this. This 
is 
too huge a decision worthy of making news headlines in TV channels ( not 
breaking news...just news). When this is actually trivialized.

And i dont think Rahman would have said anything to this effect.

If this is by any remote chance a true statement by the man himself then i 
deeply regret his stance. He has a long future ahead in Bollywood as against 
Hollywood.

Hollywood music is very stereotyped and another slumdog kind of music wont 
work.

Re: [arr] Lost Touch due to Tours and Live Programms

[wiredbeats]

Hey Ranjit, naveen and all who agree with them

I think you are over reacting. I agree that being a fan SHOULD mean being 
critical. Infact very few artists have an intelligent fan base as AR Rahman 
has. 
Most fan groups have a prejudice that the product would by default be good and 
they will struggle hard to accept a sub standard product from their idols.

This fan group of rahman is by far the largest and most united in many ways. 
Even Rahman knows it. So an average product has been criticized. Blue OST 
was criticized by many accomplished people here in this very group to be 
average. The sound was poor and music waskind of a let down.

However, i do believe this fan base is yet to mature to a stage where we can 
start influencing Rahman's decisions/directions. Something like say Metallica 
fans are or GNR fans do. But then thats fine. Rahman has a set of rules by 
which 
he decides.And i am sure he know whats being talked in this group. So he might 
just register your email!...

Now. i get this at times that Rahman's post oscar work is..' not upto the 
mark'. Well you never know, most of the post oscar releases would have 
been conceived during pre-Oscar days! So that argument goes out of the window.

You are welcome to pass judgements. If Puli sucks for you...thats fine and you 
still are a fan. I still can't play the entire CD of Slumdog, what with all the 
awards stuck to it. I am still a fan. 

Yes there are some awesome music directors out there and one must give them a 
chance. They do what the people want. This is a quick fire way to survive. 
Someone else would come and replace. With Rahman, he gives whats correct and 
people eventually start to accept and that creates a lot of stickiness of fans. 
This is why he lasted this long and will last as #1 untill he retires.

Puli is certainly not that bad as you portrayed. Its actually super energetic 
and does not require intellectual processing as Raavan(an) needed. Give 
yourself 
sometime with the music. If you still dont like itthats fine. The next one 
is just round the corner.

And ya...when you say 'true fan'buy the disc. Not MP3. 

And trust me...i am too kind of like you. Few albums i just dont like and many 
folks agree on a one to one basis that a specific track was poor . 

regards

WB

Re: [arr] [ARR}-How to overcome pre-concieved notions about Puli(and like the album)?

[wiredbeats]

Hey ! If you don't like s j surya don't watch the movie brother. 
Don't blame the disc.  Puli is rather good. Not long lasting. But 
that's not the purpose anyways. This is a masala filmso masala music !! 

Not liking a disc is as normal is liking it.  Don't force yourself. If you 
don't like it.  No problem..relax. VTV is still fresh 

Re: [arr] Request to Telugu speaking fans...

[wiredbeats]

Parts of what you said is correct .I am a tamalian but grew up in Hyderabad and 
understand Telugu really well. The language and diction issue which you pointed 
out is very prevalent in Tamil as well. Even in Rahman tracks and he himself 
knows this. The purpose of commercial mass market movies like puli etc is to 
push rhythm not lyrical brilliance. None of these movies are for purists

So lets just have fun. Although I agree your point on maa-te-lugu tal-liki 
.that's a little hmmm esply considering the remix done by Mikey j Meyer 
in the hit movie leader Which was very straight forward .

Re: [arr] Raavanan- awaiting some some National Awards?

No way. However i bet Alphonse would grab one for Aromale, either best singer

[arr] By the time people figure out whats wrong with Raavan its a hit

[wiredbeats]

Movies work on means of arithmetic and not reviews. Its a function of numbers. 
Being such a huge film, By the time people figure out whats wrong with Raavan 
its a hit just by the number of theater guests. These days the metric of 25 
days, 50 days is gone. Weekend openings matter because they do this carpet 
bombing of prints for the opening weekend.

If the film opens at 70% occupancy for the opening weekend and sustains to 40 
to 50% occupancy  for the first week then the cost plus is recovered more or 
less, unless its a big budget film. I mean really big budget...

Raavan will make its moneynow take your perceptions in your pocket

[arr] Requesting your support for my charity foundation

[wiredbeats]

Dear Rahmaniacs,

This is my first non-ARR mail in a very long time.However this one comes for a 
very noble cause

As some of you already know, I and 3 of my friends have started a Charity 
foundation in Hyderabad called - Cradle India Foundation. This foundation is 
for poor children between the age group of 6 months to 5 years, who need the 
right psychological support to enter into the schooling environment. The plan 
is to groom them in a manner that they won't drop out of school and complete 
their education. You can know more from http://www.cradleindia.org . 

It has been just over two months since the foundation has commenced operations 
and we have started to see some great progress! The kids have started to sing 
english rhymes, and learn alphabets 

 We have great plans to expand the operations and include more children into 
the foundation. And to do that i need your help.

The center : The center is run Mondays to Saturdays and is being supervised by 
a full time manager and the center is guarded by a professional security 
guard.I invite all of you to visit our center and see for yourselves the 
transformation we are able to bring in to the children.

Going by the spirit of brotherhood of all fellow Rahmaniacs, this is a humble 
request from my end asking you for nominal donations that will go a long way in 
changing a child's future. I have set a personal target of 50,000 rupees to be 
raised from my connections. 

I hope you can spare with at least 500 rupees for a good cause. So even if 100 
of you choose to do so, our budget for 3 months is addressed! 

How can you donate?

Fund Transfer
Cradle India Foundation 
HDFC Bank account number :  0218 14500 00030
Dilshuknagar Branch, Hyderabad
IFSC : HDFC218

OR BETTER STILL.. you can transfer to my personal HDFC bank account. I will be 
able to ship your receipts faster
My account no is : 05451 0500 58130 . Madhapur Branch, HDFC Bank : IFSC : 
HDFC545 

Paypal : Alternatively, you can use your credit card to donate through Paypal. 
Just log on to http://www.cradleindia.org and scroll down for the PayPal link

Receipts :

Once you inform me about your donation by mailing at h...@cradleindia.org, i 
will tally the amount and the Hyderabad office will ship you a formal stamped 
receipt which you can keep for records.  We are working on Sec 80c tax 
exemption formalities and once its done, you can claims your benefits too.

I hope you will help us for this good reason. 

regards
Wb

PS : I thank Vijay Iyer for arranging Rahman Foundation coloring books for  the 
children at Cradle India. Thank you sir!!

Re: [arr] Re: Volume Track Differences between Beera and the two Veeras

[wiredbeats]

raavan and raavanan will certainly have 2 different masters. Specific to this, 
there are some obvious arrangement level differences, then there is every 
reason to believe they are mastered with different tastes. Quitly likely.

I am talking of Same song released in X and showed up a compilation CD from Y 
and sounding different!

The difference wont be due to tseries and sony releases. Remember guru tamil 
and hindi releases. Both are released by sony bmg. But the two sounded 
differently. Hindi release was much better. Thats why i think  this difference 
in raavan versions occured during mastering. Not damn sure

Re: [arr] Re: Volume Track Differences between Beera and the two Veeras

[wiredbeats]

I dont know!..i really dont know why and how this happens. Ya the master will 
vary obviously because the language version varies. But why does that have an 
effect on the CD as such. I dont know.

In fact i have observed this...that when a track is released in Label X and 
then the same track shows up in Label Y in a compilation disc, the sound 
varies. It must really be at the CD replication end.

any expert opinions? May be Phani Kalyan can throw some light since he has 
recently sat through a masteing session for new film Pappu.

Re: [arr] Volume Track Differences between Beera and the two Veeras

[wiredbeats]

Not just veera. All tracks have that difference you mentioned. Especially Ranja 
Ranja sounds much better than the tamil version. I think its just because both 
the titles are from different companies.

Subject: [arr] Volume Track Differences between Beera and the two Veeras

  
I have tested this many times on good speakers, through headphones, best sound 
quality, etc. and no doubt, there are distinct volume differences in some of 
the arrangement tracks between Veeras and Beera. 

Veeras' claps and bass lines are significantly louder, leading to a fuller 
sound throughout both versions of the Veera song (Tamil and Telugu), while the 
bass lines and claps in Beera are very low in volume, subued throughout the 
song.  If you listen to the first minute of Beera, then the first minute of 
both Veeras, you will be able to tell the difference immediately. 

I referred to this in my overall review of the soundtrack, but this difference 
keeps coming up for me, esp. when I put Raavan and Raavanan on the same CD.

I wonder why the differences in volumes between these versions.

Please don't block this post.  I'm not trying to start something about 
differences between Hindi/Tamil/Telugu, etc., not claiming one to be superior 
to the other, etc., but just commenting on these specific differences between 
the versions and wondering why ARR decided on this.

Re: [arr] Marvellous Ravaanan

I am reasonably sure that all songs were composed with Raavan in mind. All 
tracks have a north feel and fits well.I am sure i would have said the same 
thing even if Raavanan would have got released earlier.

Heres the confusion: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?

[wiredbeats]

I know where the confusion is, there is a defunct format called DTS music disc

http://www.dts.com/Pro_Audio_Products/Products_by_Media/DTS_Music_Disc_CD/Overview.aspx
 

But you know what, this format is actually worser than super audio CD. I just 
called an expert friend and asked over international line and he says DTS music 
CD was a joke, it never really boosted anything major and the fact that they 
comply to the 'red book' standard( Red book standard is THE standard for audio 
CD reproduction) does not mean anything. 

The codec is a failure because most players could not recognize the track 
separators and either said invalid disc or read the whole thing as one big huge 
track. As in the CD contained just one song, even if it had 5 or 7 tracks..

Those who have Boys or Godfather DTS disc as you claim, please do this test

If you are playing in 5.1 surround sound system, please disconnect the center 
channel and check what you get.

5th n 6th channel sounds like voice removed audio. Even if it is an original

Re: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?

[wiredbeats]

Oh boy, this is the classic fake stuff. No one says 5.1 surround sound like 
this.! This is one of those guys who convert audio CD into DVD audio  as if 
some magic channels will be generated in that process. Totally ignore this 
piece.

Check the album art work, its looks cheap and whats 5.1 digital surround with 
'4 tracks'!..huh..where the fifth one?

he he he!!

Re: [arr] Is there Raavanan DTS CD?

[wiredbeats]

Fake! or shall i say misleading, the thing about DTS is its primarily for 
theatrical multi channel playback. Theres a format call DTS HD audio which can 
be converted into 2 channel audio, but so can any format be converted into CD 
format.

The only surround sound audio CD available is called SACD ( Super Audio CD), 
which has a surround layer and a normal CD layer. This plays only in SACD 
compatbible players ( look for SACD logo) in your system. All sony 5.1 home 
theatres play it. 

I have one SACD of a country music artist and its just brilliant.Its very 
rare, but available.

I really wish we get atleast one limited edition SACD of Rahman

Rahman’s midnight melody

The composer worked overnight to record a special song; he performed it live, 
much to Mani Ratnam’s delight

By Mauli Singh
Posted On Monday, April 26, 2010 at 04:28:58 AM

 
At the recent music release of Raavan, everybody was taken in by a soulful 
rendition of a song, Jaa re udd jaa re, by AR Rahman.


Penned by fellow Oscar winner Gulzar, most of the audience present for the 
music release of Raavan assumed it was part of the CD given out that evening - 
but it wasn’t. Even Mani Ratnam wasn’t aware that Rahman would be singing the 
song.


  
Gulzar with Rahman at the music release of Raavan  (Pic: Nilesh wairkar) 
A source from the unit reveals, “The song that Rahman performed live was an 
absolutely last minute inclusion. Rahman and Mani share a special bond that 
goes beyond their professional association. Rahman has given music for all of 
Mani’s films and even sung in a couple like Dil Se and Guru. Mani was very keen 
to have Rahman sing in Raavan.” Which he did, eventually.

But the song itself hadn’t been set to music. So Rahman burnt the midnight oil 
to give Mani a musical surprise. The night before the launch, Rahman closeted 
himself in his Mumbai studio and worked through the night to compose the song. 
In the wee hours, he recorded it in his voice.

The source adds that the final CD of the track did not contain the song, and 
the entire team of Raavan, including director Mani Ratnam, heard it for the 
first time at the launch. The song may be included at a later stage.  
 

[arr] the best track of raavan is not in the disc!

[wiredbeats]

what the hell, the exclusion of jaa re ud ja re is a huge loss to the 
soundtrack. This would have had the same effect that aaromale had for vtv 
soundtrack. Or even better..i hope this track gets out

hey guys, just want to share my honest opinion on Raavan.

To me, it seems like its going to turn another "Blue" (very powerful music but 
sub standard lyrics). i felt the lyrics and music doesn't go together in 
Raavan. the same i felt about Blue.
the lyrics has no formation what so ever. 

what do you guys think about it??

Re: [arr] why low volume audio?

[wiredbeats]

There was a huuge variation in volumes those days of cassettes, i meant it was 
crazy. Jeans tamil was hardly audible whereas jeans hindi was louder . Dil Se 
casette was mild and the CD volume is only gone higher over years.

Its is a market driven approach. My apprehension is if companies like T-series 
end up promoting MP3s, flash drives etc the we will only see a dip in fidelity 
. The studio master would be as always good, but the replication quality  would 
be compromised

You are right. I can clearly hear the small noise of audio cassette in roja, 
indira and many more. My doubt is that ARR sir create the audio in digital 
output even in that days of roja and the music production companies owns the 
original in digital format too. Then why such noises occur during reproducing 
of audio in CDs later. The worst i felt about volume level is with 
minsarakanavu and jeans.Iam forced to increase the volume to hear these albums. 
Thiruda thiruda was better compared to other two. Quality is there in all 
audios for sure. But the problem is with volume level.

Folks make a look on the two waveforms of the song strawberry kanne from 
minsarakanavu. First wave form is of the song ripped from original AVM CD. 
Second is a prereleased one. The first AVM ripped song is very louder than the 
second one. But the waveform is completly clipped through out the length and 
having no quality. The second one is having high quality. See how the loudness 
war killed the quality of songs in AVM CD.

all these guys...i mean ALL OF THEM.. miss an important point..Rahman did'nt 
sing Vande Mataram of Bankim Chandra chaterjee . Rahman used 'vande mataram' a 
generic sanskrit word and sang an ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT song!!

and as a tribute he included not 1 but 2 versions of the original tune...i mean 
how else can a guy be clean.

Even in Dil Se, since chaiya chaiya was inspired by baba bulleh shah's poetry, 
rahman included a separate track of the original poetry ( although the lyics 
were slightly changed 
 
The old composers have done some great work, but they didnt come in outright 
praise of rahman in public..which is sad!

Re: [arr] why low volume audio?

[wiredbeats]

the duplication medium was audio cassettes that time not CD and there was a 
cusp period when Dil Se , Taal came when both cassettes and CDs were sold and 
even then then the mastering was focused on medium being in cassettes...

good observation , even i noted many times.

Old tamil soundtracks like thiruda thiruda, jeans, minsara kanavu have low 
volume compared to the new sound tracks. Why this happened??

http://businessofci nema.com/ news.php? newsid=15895


MUMBAI: IN Entertainment (INE), has acquired the Hindi remake rights of Gautam

The
Hindi remake will be directed and co-produced by Menon along with INE

The film was also made in Telugu as Ye Maya Chesave.
Simbu and Trisha have enacted the lead roles in Tamil while Naga
Chaitanya and Samantha Ruth have enacted the lead roles in the Telugu
version.
Menon says, "We are delighted to be working with INE
and the Hinduja Group for the Hindi Remake of Vinnaithandi Varuvaayaa.
It has been a revelation working with A.R. Rahman on the original film
and we plan to re-create the same magic in the Hindi remake."
IN
Entertainment CEO Sunir Kheterpal adds, "Vinnaithandi Varuvaayaa is a
simple yet an extremely engaging film with great music and a universal
theme. INE is looking to develop and produce films with talented Film-
makers and Producers in Tamil, Telugu & Hindi and it is an honor to
be associated with talent like Gautham Menon and A.R. Rahman in the
first project itself. We look forward to working with the original
producers, Gautham and S. Elred Kumar on other projects as well."

Tags: A.R. Rahman, Himmesh Reshammiya

The other day when I was travelling, A.R. Rahman was my co-passenger. Once I 
realised he would be sitting beside me, I switched off my iPod. He was in a 
chatty mood so I decided to strike up a conversation and asked him, why does he 
sing only one song in every film that he composes the music for? For a moment I 
thought the man was going to snap, but he politely replied, “Because I do not 
want people to ask me why I sing all the songs!” (No, that was not a dig at 
Himmesh Reshammiya, was it?) Rahman also confessed that he loved working at 
night because that is when he gets inspired to be at his creative best. He also 
told me that though his kids are learning to sing, he isn’t sure whether they 
will follow in his footsteps later on. Maybe they secretly want to be actors.
I must tell you I never thought he would be so interesting to chat with. I 
can’t spill all the beans about our conversation cos he will label me a snoop. 
I can’t risk that cos he invited me to the IPL closing ceremony where he will 
be performing with international artistes.

Re: [arr] Rahman's Thirukural

[wiredbeats]

I dont think he ever commited to such a project. However he did make a version 
in his Nokia connections album - a track called Kural where he took few 
couplets from the chapter Maanam. 

I did a review of that awesome track ..i mean its just brilliant

http://www.wiredbeats.com/2009/01/24/a-review-rahmans-new-album-connections/ 

Plus he used few lines in VTV also. So guess thats how he wishes to use them

Re: [arr] & The Award Goes To AR Rahman (Collector's Edition)

[wiredbeats]

Very few of these 'collections' are actually collections. They are selling 3 - 
4 titles that they have within their rights in a single 'collectors' edition. 
Sony for example is selling lagaan, meenaxi, vandemataram and guess guru etc as 
a 4 set collectors pack. T-series has gone one step ahead and even made lousy 
cover versions of Vandemataram and included in their collection!!!

Ya, music companies are riding over his success and i dont think he will get 
anything out of it. Which is why he has set up KM Musiq label ( Not 
conservatory). Hopefully the portfolio of KM Musiq will grow with time and will 
reward him adequatly.

Subject: [arr] Revisiting "Taj Mahal" Album | A Mammoth Innovation!!

  
Producer and Director : Bharathi Raja
Music : A R Rahman
Lyrics: Vairamuthu
Cast : Manoj, Riya Sen, Radhika and Revathy
 
Pls Note: The revisit is too lengthy..my apologies for that..i couldnt make it 
short...coz my feelings for this album is infinitely large..!!
 
 
The very name "Taj Mahal" evokes a lot of passion, romance and warmth! When 
films with such titles goes to the hands of someone like the Meastro A R 
Rahman, it gets all new definition and stands in its own glory and vigour! Like 
how the Emperor Shahjahan built the legendary monument for his lady love, ARR 
has built this glittering golden palace inside our hearts with his signature 
styled experimentations and mammoth innovations of new sounds which we never 
heard of before..!

  Bharathi Raja - A R Rahman duo may have given many timeless classics, but for 
me, Taj Mahal stands as tall as the Taj Mahal monument! Taj Mahal was 
originally planned to have a totally urbanite modern saga as its plot..but 
Bharathi Raja, with his proven rural,rustic themes, made a U turn and chose to 
make it as another village based story! He launched his own son Manoj in the 
lead role along with the very raw, young Riya Sen. Somehow the chemistry never 
worked between these two and the film's fate turned turtle at the box office..! 
Nevertheless, it could boast of possessing one of the world's best musicians 
magical scores..!

Thiruppachhi Aruvaala | Palghat Sriram, Chandran, Clinton Cerejo, Kalpana
 
  Belonging to the league of Adrenalin pumping, high spirited, aggressive songs 
of ARR, "Thiruppachhi Aruvaala" ignites some of our deep buried anguishes. If 
you give a deep ear towards the instruments in the initial moments of the song, 
you feel shell shocked..! ARR dwells just with a basic beats rhythm coming out 
from that basic drums which you see in your everyday life on the streets in the 
hands of local help seekers! Giving company to these drum beats are the cool 
whistles blown by probably ARR himself! The singers ooze out aggressiveness in 
their full throated rendition. Palghat Sreeram is one of those able singers, 
whom this world should take notice of! He,along with Chandran,brings in the 
perfect attitude required for the song. Another unnoticed singer Kalpana haunts 
with her lower octaves lines, particularly in the lines where she makes fun of 
the male.Clinton Cerejo,provides able support in the second interlude with some 
wierd western lyrics!!
 ARR surprises us with some western vintage beats in the second interlude. 
Total Energy booster..!!!

Adi Manja Kizhange | Febi Mani, Ganga Sitharasu, Feju, Kanchana
 
  Short and Sweet "All-Female" , fun filled song!! ARR has constantly belted 
out the all-woman songs since his "Kaadhalan" days (Indirayo Ival Sundariyo) to 
the latest "Gendha Phool". "Adi Manja Kizhange" offers some fun and happy 
moments both audically and visually! Again ARR goes with a single Rhythm 
pattern of basic drums with some vague female hummings interlaced. Hats off to 
all those aforementioned 4 harmony singers who have been with ARR since his 
Roja days..! It seems like ARR created such a song only to thank them for this 
long association. ! 

Kizhakke Nandavanam | Theni Kunjarammal, Febi Mani, Ganga Sitharasu, 
Feju,Kanchana 

  The same harmony singers continue their spell, but this time in the company 
of the most unusually sounding singer in ARR's career of songs ever...Theni 
Kunjarammal. .!!! Everytime this old woman croons for ARR, the song gets its 
own undefined charm!! She starts the song by calling out the names of many 
women "Machhakanni, Mayyilkunju. .." which are absolutely hilarious to 
hear!!!ARR offers a very light hearted comic effect composition with some funny 
beats..! The awesome foursome singers then start their lines with same zeal and 
keep up the mood strong!! Never miss to hear the minute murmurings of Theni 
Kunjarammal..."Adi Vaadi Aathi..".:D

[arr] Remember Dauuuddd!!!..heres remembering it with a mix..

[wiredbeats]

Folks
As always : Original is king..
Remember Daudd!
And i missed my food distribution with Vithur sir today because of this...sorry 
vithur sir..:(
This film – Daud was lousy  but with a super chic sound track. The Background 
score and the soundtrack both top notch. Sounds that no one had heard during 
those days of Jhankaar beats! Rahman had produced and sequenced grooves so cool 
that they are still untouched. Remember Shabba Shabba!, what a baseline.Wow
I played Daud a few days ago and thought i should complete a long pending 
project i left at 60%, a club trippy mix of Oh Bhavare. Hope you guys like it, 
its very Tiesto and Armin Van Burren in few places. I tried so hard to get 
their sound here and ya coupled with a infectious groove of Rahman – What a 
result!
So here it is. By the way, this is first time i have attempted a mix like this. 
So comments are really welcome. Even the bad ones!!
and i really love this mix!hope you like it to
http://www.wiredbeats.com/2010/03/14/daud-oh-bhavre-a-trippy-club-edit-mix/

Re: [arr] Re: [Non-ARR] For beginning music creators in our group

[wiredbeats]

hey man,

For starters i advice to practice in acid express from sony. You will pick up 
basics of timing, beat mapping etc. You can't do MIDI there, but you get a good 
sense of beats and layering. You can have 25 tracks max in the free version 
which is good enough. You can perhaps paint some loops and practice. If you 
want to do MIDI then try acoustica mixcraft. The free trial is good enough to 
connect your MIDI keyboard and create some decent quality original tracks.

And if you want to pay  like a good boy or download ripped versions then you 
have Nuendo. Steinberg also makes a product called Sequel which i found to be 
super.The you have adobe audition, ableton...the list goes on.I found most of 
them in this catagory good and it is left to you to exploit the features.

And then , userfriendlyness. All of them are user unfriendly initially, but 
once you get a hang of it, its difficult to move out of it. 

The thing is, once you are good with MIDI and loop based stuff. You are pretty 
much done when it comes to production. You can handle mid level production 
projects and will be mentally tuned to check out reason, pro-tools or logic. 
These are expensive ones...so if you are not into professional stuff then you 
can stay away.

now, comes the sound part. When you mix or playback you production you should 
get a flat audio. No sugar added.Ideally you should use monitor speakers, they 
give real flat sound. But sometimes we don't get to use them at homes. So you 
may use a good altec lansin or anyother good comp speakers which does not have 
any speaker controls. As in the knobs in the sub woofer etc. Also go to your 
sound card settings and turn off all EQs. This should be work fine. Ofcourse 
not professional level, but decent.

WiredBeats and Fani...thanks for your inputs :)

Wired Beats, what are the DAWs you had found user-friendly for beginners?

I had heard that ARR had used Cool Edit in the production of Veerpandi 
Kottaiyile (Thiruda Thiruda)...could someone confirm? 

I heard this in 2002 from a friend who used to tease me about using Cool Edit 
as he was a Soundforge fan (and an ARR fan too). But when he heard from someone 
that ARR had used Cool Edit for the Thiruda Thiruda  album, he came rushing and 
borrowed a copy of my Cool Edit software :D

I never stressed that this is convent. My point is whats the use in trying to 
point out similarities about ARR & Sachin in this forum. They are both legends 
in their own way but doesnt warrant a lot of discussion about them in this 
group. If you want to discuss their similarities, you are free to start another 
group called ARR & Sachin as this group is purely for ARR and his music. Not 
for anything else.

Huh? I don't think anyone here tried to compare Rahman and Sachin. It's quite 
the opposite. What they are pointing out is 'similarities' . They are legends 
in their own field, they belong to the same era, and icons on Young India and 
have brought cheer and pride to the nation. There are millions of people who 
are big fans of both these legends and I don't see anything wrong in this 
thread. 

I agree if you have an issue about people comparing Rahman with other composers.

Chill dude! This is not a convent with strict disciplines. People should be 
allowed to express what they feel, as far as it's related to Rahman. If you 
don't like a thread, there's a delete button available to your rescue :)

how right. Infact just last sunday when we met at the food distribution we

what is music for you? How does spirituality help in...blah blah... how is life

We just hope to see an intelligent interview soon who asks some unusual 
questions on his method of compositions,his studio gear and his general 
affinity to new instruments. Etc.

Re: [arr] [Non-ARR] For beginning music creators in our group

[wiredbeats]

there are quite a few around here. Some professional level guys too. Garageband 
is fairly powerfull but i wont recommend that. There are other good mid range 
DAWs for begininers and semipros.

Subject: [arr] [Non-ARR] For beginning music creators in our group

  
I came across this very interesting and useful article for beginning musicians, 
so thought I would share it with you all.

The article is an introduction to a free pdf (http://makeuseof. org/garageband) 
about creating music with GarageBand software that comes pre-installed in macs.

Regards
Swarlok

http://www.makeuseo f.com/tag/ recording- publishing- music-garageband -pdf/

Music is a part of everyday life. And although not everyone pursues it 
professionally, a lot of people have dreamt of a time playing on stage in a 
world famous band.

But it's the indie era, and musicians no longer need to be backed by the music 
industry to play for the masses. It's a time when anyone with a great idea can 
leap for nirvana.

With Apple's GarageBand, you don't need a recording studio anymore. And 
although it's certainly advised, you don't even need to know how to play any 
instruments! Having a Mac and a feel for the music suffices to launch your own 
project.

We're proud to be able to present our next eBook, Recording Your Next Hit with 
GarageBand, a forty-odd paged free PDF, written by our very own Jeffry Thurana 
(supersubconscious) .

Start off by conceptualizing the song, and take your first steps with the 
GarageBand application. Learn how to use MIDI instruments, or add digital 
loops. Take notice of the different indie publishing `plans', and get ready to 
create your first song, from idea to release.

A melody shouldn't be kept waiting. Download The GarageBand eBook 
(http://makeuseof. org/garageband) now in PDF, or read it online on Scribd – 
completely free, with no strings attached. A highly recommended guide for 
aspiring musicians.

[arr] AR Rahman Vs Micheal Jackson – The ‘JAM ’ Mashup...

[wiredbeats]

Hey folks,

Imagine if this had happened. MJ and Rahman on a single stage.Will it did 
happen for Ekam Satyam, but no one seems to have any damn record of it. But i 
am talking of full on blast concert creating a mother load of a mash-up to be 
embedded in the books for ever! Imagine such a treat for the world audience!!
It was one of those days again when i was doing parallel processing in my brain 
and found a great way to probably imagine how it would sound if we put 2 great 
tracks in a single mix. I did this mix very quickly, like in few hours,dint 
clean the mix in great detail because i wanted a ‘live feel’ and to achieve it, 
i let the sound bounce on its volume a bit.It feels raw and but thats how it 
should be i think.
To me it sounds awesome mainly because it has 2 legends in it who wanted to 
work with each other more. AR Rahman’s track from Shivaji – The Boss mixed 
with Micheal Jackson’s Jam!!
I hope you guys like it
http://www.wiredbeats.com/2010/02/27/ar-rahman-vs-micheal-jackson-the-jam-mashup/
This is my way of imagining what the world has missed out!

Re: [arr] Re: Guys, please don't give up on Connections (original one)

[wiredbeats]

I think parts of the original connections is being used here and there. Jiya Se 
Jiya has found its way in to the other connections. Himalaya has found its way 
in Le Sutra of Baz Luhrman. I think thats how all tracks will be used. I agree 
what a waste, the entire collection deserves a CD release.

Digging up this message again. We are still waiting... 

I have seen compilations from Sony Music, T-Series, Saregama this month.. just 
Rahman's contract label - Universal is left to release a new CD. Hopefully they 
will come up with new CD (soon) featuring songs of 'real' Connections

[arr] 1947 earth – Dheemi Dheemi – The Minimal Mix

[wiredbeats]

Hi all,
As always Original is king. 
One of the most melodious tracks by Rahman comes from his work in 1998 for the 
movie 1947- Earth. Infact all tracks in this film are quite radical, just like 
the next one he did for Water. The track Dheemi Dheemi has Hariharan singing 
solo with very little accompaniments. Somehow the track has this awesome 
effect, which i think only rahman knows to pull it off. He knows what not to 
put in a composition to get the desired result.Else he won't attempt tracks 
like these, or rasaati etc.
Anyways, i used my toys to make a real minimal mix.Some mixing stunts, no 
gimmicks, just a simple minimal feel I hope you guys like it! and as always 
leave your comments.

Re: [arr] was Benny Auto-Tuned in Omana Pennae ?

[wiredbeats]

no. I dont think so much auto tuning or pitch correction has been done. Lot of 
people often mistake a telephonic voice, or robotic voice ...to be auto tuned 
or pitch corrected. This is a rude remedy for bad singers like akon, atif aslam 
and even shakira. 

I think rahman wont use singers with fundamental issues with pitching. He is ok 
if the pronunciation suffers.

we can discuss this further. any other views folks?

Regards

Re: [arr] VTV audio sales

[wiredbeats]

hey,

The batch of cds are usually bought by small retailers who inturn sell the 
discs in their shops.

The data from the small shops point of sale counts. I did ask the same question 
to 3 such shops and they said the sales have picked up while it did vanish from 
shelves for the first 2 days and dip.

Overall it stands as a hot cd
