I recorded this today over a pre-recorded backing track (from Bobby's Backing Tracks): "All Blues" The guitar is a Cort LCS-1 archtop. I routed the recording out of a Roland Cube 30 into my Focusrite Scarlett 6i6. Can you give it a listen and see if it sounds reasonable? I am a bit afraid the...

I have the occasional need to make up Real Book-style charts for tunes, because either the tune isn't available in one of my Real Books or I need to transpose it to another key for a singer. I've been making do with the notation capabilities of Band In A box for years but it's always been a...

I just swapped out my POD 2.0 for a wonderful new POD X3, which has an S/PDIF digital out which I'm plugging into my M Audio Delta 66 for the first time. Only one problem -- I can't get SONAR to record any more. Somehow between the M-Audio Control Panel settings and SONAR's audio settings, I...

There's three songs from a Japanese-released DVD (which I hope is going to be released in the States too at some point) of these guys playing a show last summer or fall... it's a DivX video and the quality is excellent...

At Yoshi's tonight with Alan Pasqua on keys, Jimmy Haslip on bass, and Chad Wackerman on drums. Fantastic show. Pasqua is a terrific soloist, just bursting with wonderful ideas, played with great phrasing and feel -- a great foil for Holdsworth. Haslip was having a blast and playing his ass...

Dick Dale should have thought of this...

I've got some old tapes I recently transferred to the computer. Now I would like to see what I can do to improve them. Hiss is easy to deal with, but I wonder if anyone has tips about how to improve the overall sonics? The particular tapes were made with the onboard mic of a cheap cassette...

I stumbled on a brand new CD today -- Bill Connors Return. He was the original guitarist in Chick Corea's Return to Forever, then quit to play acoustic guitar on a couple of ECM solo releases, then played in Jan Garbarek's group.... then disappeared for a decade or so, then returned to electric...

Anyone had the guts to install the new Service Pack? Any issues, particularly regarding SONAR? :confused:

... from 2.2... I only recently started working again, buying the upgrade is an act of optimism... plus I got Garrigus' book for free... Anyway, anyone have any tips/gotchas/etc. for me before I dive in and perform the install?

Anyone here go? What an amazing line-up. I'd really have loved to see Jeff Beck and Clapton's set, and the closer with the two of them playing with ZZ Top... Hope there's a DVD or an archived webcast...

I recorded a quick pass at this great old Jerome Kern/Oscar Hammerstein tune today. I think I'll do it over, but it's passable (especially in the context of a party where no one's really listening anyway...) http://www.alanoehler.com/alanoehlermusic/demos.php Last time I did a couple of...

Another ACID construction... collaged me up a bunch of loops and nudged them around and clipped and snipped until I liked what I had, then whipped out the old guitar, plugged into the POD, and improvised something on top of it...
