Alison Krauss and Union Station Live - deep discount at Border's. A couple questions: 1) What's the SACD spec, exactly - 5.1 surround? 24/96? buttah? I'm guessing - the tiny SACD info sheet was real vague. 2) Is there a value in recording to the SACD spec? Will future sales hinge on...

Caught the inaugural concert on the new Wilhelm Tracker at St. John's church in Fenton MI yesterday - 60 ranks, 3 manuals, 30-note pedalboard. What an instrument!!! Probably cost $5-700,000 US. Couldn't find any info on this one (opus 157) on the web, but here's a page from another local...

Anyone use it yet? Cool thing is apparently any sound source can be a carrier - potentially big improvement over Cubase's stock carrier tone. Sounds like a great opportunity for some sonic mayhem, but I haen't tried it yet (Toime, cap'n! Oi've got to have morrre toime!). Any input...

I have Cubase 5.1R1 and Reason 2.5. Does that mean I have ReWire somewhere and just don't know it? Or do I have to buy it? I think someone mentioned it was with one of the packages, but I disremember... Daf

This started over in the songwriting forum last week. Terocious (real name withheld 'cos he never told me ;) ) posted some lyrics that really tripped my trigger. He had his own tune, but I hadn't heard it yet when a melody for his words started running through my head ---it's the voices again...

I'm a terrible guitarist, probably always will be. But there are tunes of mine just crying out for acoustic guitar, and finding someone to come lay down a track for me is a giant pain - mostly schedule weirdness, but also 'cos I'm way out in the boonies. So I gotta get an acoustic - the loop...

I've always been intrigued by those little Ashbory rubber string basses. Anyone use one? More importantly, does anyone use one as their MAIN bass? Any applications/styles for which they're particularly good? And 18" scale sounds really tiny. Would they be a good starter for a kid??? Daf...

I write a lot. A lot. But this may have been my best work, especially regarding lyrics, 'cos I mean it. With all my heart. Here's the catch - it don't sound too good when I sing it. So I pestered crawdad, 'til he agreed to take a stab at it. I've asked him for permission to post his...

I've heard two tracks. I swear he's running a B4 (Hammond emulator) straight, unprocessed. It is the flattest, dryest crap I've heard on a "professional" recording. Doesn't sit in the mix at all. I heard he did this one himself, even released on his own label. Too bad - a second set of ears...

...last night to the Harris/Toki collab, and to Macle's retro-pop thing. You guys rock! Great thing about girls under 2 - they don't call you a dork cos you dance funny. Anyhow, watch this space. I wrote her a song right after she was born. Recorded it then, and it exposed my voice for the...

This is over in the mp3 clinic too, but I'd love to get some feedback on the lyrics. I wrote this a little while after the September 11th tragedy. It draws from Luke 19 and Psalm 40. We sang it a few times at my church before I stepped down as music director last year...

Anyone try the upgrade yet? Anything cool to watch for? I installed it last night, but haven't taken it for a spin yet. Daf

Here's a dry dry dry mix of Even the Rocks Would Cry Out, a tune I wrote a couple of years ago. It's contemporary Christian, and was, in part, aa response to the September 11th tragedy. We sang it at church a few times. Caroline sang into a BLUE Baby Bottle. Rest of the signal chain is...

http://www.ragzpol.com/ragzpol.cfm Well, I do anyhow. Looks cool. $420 isn't ridiculous, either. But it IS too rich for my blood right now. Daf

It was so much fun, let's do it again... My college choir, the Madonna U. Chorale, will be performing at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (by Catholic U.) Saturday 5/10 at 2:45 pm, and at the Episcopal National Cathedral Sunday 5/11 at 3:15 pm. Admission for each concert is...

Hi all, my college choir, the Madonna U. Chorale, is performing at First United Methodist Church in Royal Oak MI Friday at 6:30 pm (7th and Washington), and at St. John's Lutheran Church in Fraser MI on Sunday (sorry - don't remember the time - 3pm maybe? Church phone is 586-293-0333 if you're...

What did they used to use?:confused:

Yay! Just got a call from the repair shop, my Prophet 5 is COMIN HOME!!! Took it in 3 months ago 'cos it was having some power supply probs, turned out to be some solder joints showing their age (this is a 1983 rev 3.3). Interestingly, the original 10-year battery is fine, they said no need...

I've got a bedroom studio, and recently got tired of cutting keyboard parts on my Oxygen-8, so I pulled my Kurzweil SP-88 out of mothballs. Kinda cool that it fits on my desk. Playing is way better now, but there's no room for my PC keyboard or mouse anymore. I can balance the keyboard on a...

I was cleaning out the garage and came across an old gig tape from '85. Kinda funny to listen to now. I listened to 4 sets worth - really pretty good sound quality, considering how low budget we were. I posted a couple of mp3s out on my blogspot site, since they're covers, I'd be violating...
