    Dear Winter Parody

    Hi Folks, I'm putting the finishing touches on a final mix and thought I'd throw errbody the track for mixing feedback. It's a send up of the AJR song "Dear Winter" but it's all about Marketing Operations. Perhaps not the purest form of creative expression but I still want it to sound good...

    recommendations for pre-sales tickets for small venue gigs

    hi all, Booked a show for my originals rock band later this month and I'd like to pre-sell tickets. I'm thinking anyone who buys early will get access to the some free digital downloads as a thank you. Not sure where to start so I came for recommendations. I know about Eventbrite but that...

    Christmas song 2011 - Gimme Coal

    So, this is a Christmas song my friends wrote and recorded but also is an homage to a famous rock band. Can anyone guess the band? I would really like to hear some thoughts/suggestions on the mix as well as open ears to minor performance flubs that I may have missed in editing.

    WTB: Mackie Big Knob or Presonus Monitor Station

    Anybody have one they're looking to sell? I'm looking to dump my 24 channel Behringer beast and swap in a nicer monitor / headphones controller. Either of these two items seem to be just the ticket. I wouldn't hesitate to buy either new but I thought I'd check to see if anyone is trying to...

    DR-16 vs BR-770

    Is the Alesis DR-16 comparable to the Boss DR-770? I remember liking the feel of the pads on the 770 and now that it's a few years old, I figure I can get a deal on one. I've never used the DR-16 but they still sell it new and it's dirt cheap so i was wondering if anyone else has used both and...

    Brown Eyed Girl Bass Sound

    hey all, I'm looking to duplicate that good thump and presence you hear from the bass on Brown Eyed Girl. The playing isn't bad or good but it sure stands out. maybe also because the version i have has the bass panned to the left. Right now, we've recorded direct through our MX-9000 and has...

    to hang or not to hang?

    I'm looking for someone to perhaps confirm my suspicion or debunk a myth. Basically, I'm intrigued by the idea of saving some space in my tiny condo by hanging my 3 most used guitars on the wall as a general place of rest. I use a martin dred, an epiphone casino and a p-bass the most and I'd...

    Kurzweil still around?

    I called GC yesterday to ask if they had an ME-1 I could try and the salesperson told me they were out of business! I wasn't sure if I believed him (their stuff is still for sale all over the net) but I couldn't find much in the way of recent news for the keys company. I really liked the...

    alternative types of bass guitar strings?

    Hey all, What kinds of bass strings are there for a P-bass other than the standard metal round wound ones? I was talking to a bassist a few weeks ago and he said he uses nylon strings. I saw it and they looked black, not metallic. Is this right? Anybody got any links to where I might buy these?

    I say enough about your tunes, here's my money going where my mouth is...

    I figure with all the comments I've made to people about their songs, I better at least show something raw that I've done. This one's pretty simple. I usually write intricate story songs but this one's just a happy love song. I have a new girlfriend and rarely am I in the mood to celebrate...

    Will this get my studio exposure?

    Hey everybody, I'm mastering the art of writing alluring thread subject lines to get views. This was my first one. Did it work? Now for the real question. Things to assume: I'm looking to start a small scale revenue (not profit, revenue:D) generating commercial recording studio in the next...

    Does anyone near Delray Beach FL know of a good local guitar tech? I looked it up on Google and got very few results. My buddy down there just got a Tele from Musiciansfriend and it came set up like doody. He told me he's trying to avoid having to drive down to Miami but will if he knows it...

    Hey guys, I'm playing guitar for a Shakespeare revival and I need some advice. The whole play (Two Gentlemen of Verona) has been adapted to fit into 1950's Midwest America and I'm playing snippets of classic 50's rock tunes in between scenes. I'm currently figuring out which guitars and amps...

    Has anyone used CafePress.com?

    I'm looking for the inside skinny on using www.cafepress.com for band merch. No upfront costs they say, but are you really getting bent over on margins? I guess my question is, do you use this place only if you can't afford to buy in some bulk the traditional way? Miles
