20 weird and wonderful facts about music Think you know everything there is to know about music? Prepare to be blown away as we take a look at some of the most interesting, unbelievable facts about musicians and the music industry. 1. One in five country music songs refer to alcohol, one in three to tears and one in seven to “mama”. 2. Not a single member of the Beatles could read or write music. 3. The most expensive instrument in the world is the “Lady Blunt” Stradivarius violin, which sold in 2011 for US$15.9 million. 4. A 2007 study found that music, classical in particular, can help make plants grow faster. 5. Barry Manilow didn’t write the song called “I Write the Songs” 6. In 2008, researchers discovered that loud music makes customers in bars drink more alcohol in less time. 7. Leo Fender, the founder of the iconic electric guitar and bass brand and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, never learned to play either instrument. 8. In 2015, Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield released the first ever album recorded entirely in space, named Space Sessions: Songs from a Tin Can. 9. For every US$1,000 of music sold, the average musician only makes about US$23.40. 10. The first (and only) band to play on all seven continents is Metallica. 11.

When you listen to music, the brain releases the same feel-good hormone (dopamine) it does during ***** and eating. 15. In 1952, American composer John Cage created a song titled “4’44”. It consisted of four minutes and 33 seconds of silence. 16. The longest song title ever is Hoagy Carmichael’s 1943 “I'm a Cranky Old Yank in a Clanky Old Tank on the Streets of Yokohama with my Honolulu Mama Doin' Those Beat-o, Beat-o Flat-On-My-Seat-o, Hirohito Blues.” 17.

Hmmmmm I got my code to redeem at BOZ but it doesn't work. I'll give it a few hours before I biatch to CS. Got it sorted. It was human error on my part.

Good song, nice mix, great lyric in the hook.
-
U B U Jesse Q. Screed and I lurves it mate.

Loved those lyrics Lee. The song is great. Small crit: the drums (or at least the snare) seems about a db too loud. It's just a little distracting. The piano tone is great.
-
Great track Wookiee. Nice synth tones and transitions. Great waking up 'coda'.
-
This is very nice and relaxing but keeps the interest up all the way through with the subtle changes. No crits here. Translated well on my Sennheiser HD598's.
-
Very 60' experimental hippy-trippy. Agree about the FM airplay comment above.
-
Nice track. Nice tones. Raise that vox about 1 db and call it baked.
-
No crits here. Drums and vox are fantastic. Bass is solid. Great mix. Loved the solo: short, sweet and on point.
-
This double plus good in my book, Mark.
-
Translates pretty good on my Sennheiser HD598's. Personal crit: the drums are not very fat, They're kind of thin to my ears.
-
I'd move to Boston for that except I don't want to leave my studio here.

The bottom line was these two instances were on my two bass tracks (neck and bridge pickups) using the two bass presets. No wow factor with this plugin.
