Why Lyrical Accuracy Matters

Congratulations! You're working on your album, single, or music video. Kudos on the hard work, dedication, and creativity you've placed in your project.

But what if skipping one simple step could potentially ruin the entire project?

Imagine if you recorded a song and there was a glaring imperfection in the product:

  • ... the singer recorded a vocal line which was off-key
  • ... a showcased instrumental riff went horribly wrong
  • ... in editing the mix, the piano track comes out way too loud

What would you do? Of course, you would redo the line, or remix the mix. If you didn't, then no matter how much work and effort and creativity you invested in the project, the song would be defined by the mistake. People would not see beyond that imperfection. So despite all your efforts in creating a masterpiece of a song, all it takes is one mistake to taint your project, letting it fall flat on its face. Therefore, you make sure that every line is recorded and mixed to perfection.

But there's another aspect which you might be overlooking.

Presumably, the lyrics to your songs are taken from either Psukim in Tanach, Midrashim or Ma'amrei Chazal from a variety of places. You might be using newly-written, custom lyrics in Hebrew (Ivrit). Unfortunately, there is usually little attention paid to ensuring the accuracy in lyrical execution. This results in embarrassing mistakes which, believe it or not, people do pick up. Remember, the vocals are what stand out from the entire mix. Mistakes will be noticeable.

Your listenership includes people who are learned and less-learned, people from Israel in addition to those from Chutz La'aretz. People will define the song by the mistakes made, and despite the thousands of dollars you put into the song, and the many hours of toil, it would be defined by that one mistake. How about if it were that easy to make sure there were no such embarrassing mistakes?

You are investing time, money, and tremendous effort into your song. Your goal is to make an impact, to ensure that your project reaches as many ears as possible, and further establish yourself as a top-grade singer or producer. However, what if you let certain glaring mistakes slip through? The mission of NiggunMaven is to help you produce the perfect product.

An author never publishes a book without having his or her editor give it a thorough look-over.

The service provided by NiggunMaven will ensure and absolutely guarantee that no error will slip into your project. We will analyze both the Ivrit phrases and the singer's pronunciation for grammatical or stylistic imperfections. We will research the Psukim to make sure that the holy words you are singing stay true to their source. We will scan the CD cover and sleeve for both English and Hebrew errors.
