Hello, I got a hand-me-down pair of Edirol Micro Monitors. the sound has gotten pretty muddy but at one time they sounded really great. I am thinking of getting some woofers at partsexpress.com, & replacing the worn out ones. I'm looking for advice about what pair of woofers to get. I'm...

Hi all, -question for people who like this sort of thing- Would you agree with this harmonization of 'Happy Birthday' ? Are there any other I, IV, V, (&V7) progressions that would work? I ------------- V ------- I ------------- V7 Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you...

Hi - I have an avi file and I'd like to take just the audio from it and use it in a composition. I have OS X 10.3. Does anybody know of a free tool that will do this? thanks LN

I have one, I want to sell it. How much do you think I should ask for it? It's in very good shape and I have the manuals and the original box. Its an 88-key weighted key synthesizer, about 5 years old. Thank you

Hi I have found the B1 for $119, and the MXLV67 for 99$. I use an M-audio transit as an interface. I want to get a mic to record guitar & voice. (With the setup I have now (sm57* and the transit) I get virually no signal unless I put it to my mouth and shout) Is there any/enough...

Hello - This is a short ambient piece that I did - I'd like to get feedback - what you think of it compositionally, 'impressionally', & if you have any advice on production, mixing & the like http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=270517&songID=4645032 (I hope the link works)...

I have to keep myself from playing this week and probably, for best results, next week. My tendonitis is acting up. I'll sing instead, & work on interval recognition ... any body got any good advice for ear training?

Hello, Do you all remember we made some top 10 goals for 2005? Wondering how everybody is doing? I've revised mine to some things a bit more abstract. My mother is getting alzheimers and my sisters are being difficult. My revised goals/resolutions are as follows. 1) Not to let my...

Hi there, I don't have a studio, I'm really just starting on a lot of music production stuff, and I do a lot of my work on the road (cafes etc) on my laptop. I'd like to invest in a good set of headphones. I think they will be enough while I am still learning, and I'd like to make sure I...

Can anyone reccomend some easier cool songs for a newbie to play (any era) My boyfriend keeps showing me songs that are too hard for me! I'm really enjoying playing "How I wish you were here" (pink floyd) and "the nurse who loved me" (failure) - you can say I prefer darker stuff. I'd...

Hello all, This is a draft - I hope to get these ideas into a song eventually. I'm trying to get away from writing the WORDS, erm the analysis and the head stuff, to writing the feelings - for me these two are not synched up yet, so I don't think this makes good poetry. I think I'm...
