    Working Live

    Hiya. Not really a recording or hip-hop specific question, but... ...I'm looking to set up a "band" of sorts with another keyboard player - she sings, too - I'll probably play left hand bass. We're talking about bringing in a 3rd member who'd be in charge of "beats." Probably a combination...

    Acid Pro 4.0 grinds to a halt

    I am apparently putting together acd files that are either too complex, or I'm doing something that AP4 doesn't like. My PC's a little old, but it still handles my other apps pretty well - 866 mhz Compaq P3 with 512mb ram, and two HDs, 40gb and 80gb. Running WinME, all competing processes shut...

    So, when does it become "good money after bad"?

    I have this 3-year old PC. A few problems over the years - bad software install forced a reinit and lost a bunch of stuff, it's on its 3rd modem, 2nd CD-RW drive. I added a second hard drive, and doubled the ram. It's an 866mhz Compaq P3, now with 512mb ram. Running WME. I've been okay...

    The Humpty-Dumpty Effect

    Until now, no one had measured the absolute acoustic profile of the human body—that is, how the body scatters sound waves independently of where it happens to be. An elongated egg? Weird. Prob'ly take a few years to sort out the recording studio impact, ya think? Daf

    CCM Love Song

    http://media.nowhereradio.com/cgi-bin/dl/1066008716/graytail/belovedj.mp3 25th Anniversary coming up - here's something I wrote for her a few years ago. My pal Mike Buhagiar cut the guitar solo remotely (Strat ->Roland Amp Sim -> VS-840 -> SPDIF in) - I assembled it from his 3 keeper tracks...

    direct guitar plus...

    Has anyone tried this? Take a direct recording of a guitar and apply a mic modeler after the fact? I had an arpeggiated guitar track (from a loop disk) that was pretty colorless, and I got appropriately chided in the clinic for using it. A few of the reviewers said it sounded like it had been...

    Wanna have some fun at our exes' expense?

    Chorus: Sing ho!, for the hoor and take comfort, poor john, Soon her looks and her money and pimp will be gone. Verse: Sweet Mindy had hair of a fine flaxen hue, And she'd laugh as I kissed her pink orbs in a kneel, But then one day she spurned me, "I couldn't love you, For I must find a man...

    Can we learn from this?

    http://www.likesbooks.com/coverballot/2002/WO-results-2002.html They're not CD covers, but what they seem to say to readers about their content is potentially a strong parallel to what we do with our own packaging. Fun reading anyhow. Kinda like the "dark and stormy night" awards... Daf

    Beautiful Still revisited

    http://www.nowhereradio.com/graytail/singles This is the same song you guys helped me with, and crawdad covered. This time it's got a Nashville-style arrangement. I hope I'm pretty close to a finished product this time. This is all me, so the vocals won't be in the same league as Al's - but...

    Hrc#5?

    What next? As I mentioned earlier, I'd really like to see a Christmas/ Winter/ Hanukkah/ Solstice/ Kwanzaa/ Ramadan challenge. Great opportunities for social commentary, expressions of faith (or the lack thereof ;) ), and for swiping and rearranging old public domain standards (generally...
