    Ah, Rocket, We Hardle Knew Ye...

    In my inbox today: I signed up a couple of years ago, but never quite got to the stage in collaborating where I needed it. Sad - I hope someone else picks this up and runs with it. Ditto G-Vox's NotationStation, a brilliant idea for online chart-sharing that failed - the technology was...

    War songs - composer opportunity

    Marketplace last night had a segment on theme music for the upcoming war - apparently Fox News and CNN are ready! They have special themes all ready to go once it happened. Bone chilling. Anyhow, here's my contribution: Come and listen to a story 'bout a guy named George He couldn't catch...

    Acid 4.0 - Imported midi file, how do I...

    get rid of the built in patch selection? Every time it loops, it resets the patch to whatever GM # it was going for - but I want it to play on my B4. It winds up setting the same patch # there (NOT the one I want) and resets every time it loops. How do I find this and turn it off (other than...

    Dirty piano

    Dirty piano? I have always been a giant fan of Blind Faith. All six songs.;) Anyhow, there's this piano sound that Winwood gets that works just great in a rock setting - kinda round, and real dirty at higher volumes. It's in "Well All Right" and especially "Presence of the Lord". I think...

    And now, for something completely different...

    Here's a hymn I wrote for Good Friday a couple of years back. The tune is "Danny Boy" (public domain - keeping it all legal, Waldo!!), which has already been borrowed over the centuries for a few hymns, including one on a similar topic. Text is my copyright, 2001. Anyhow, we were going to...

    Johnny Dowd. WTF?

    So, I went on this buy-a-bunch-of-CDs-I've-never-heard binge at Border's this weekend. They're having a 75% off sale on some of their obscure shit. I went all over the map, stylewise, cos I'm just that kind of guy :D , and am mostly happy with what I got, so far (haven't heard all of it, yet)...

    Take 2, My 6.5 year project

    Thanks to the folks who gave me feedback last time, I tried most of your suggestions: Brought up vox, brought down bass, re-eq'd bass, brought down drums, dropped tube plugin from vox, lightened compression on vox, pulled Acoustic Mirror space out of the master, remixed background vox, added...

    I bought Acid 4.0, but I'm a little pissed

    Anyone else feel like SF's charging us big bucks for baby upgrades? GC is selling A4 for the same price that SF wants for the upgrade. I was gonna let it pass completely, but finally decided I really needed the VSTi capability, because my Delta 66 doesn't do soundcard type stuff. The 7...

    Any point in getting a contact mic?

    Any of you guys use 'em? If so, why? What am I missing by not having one? :confused:

    Nowhere Radio?

    I see a lot of us here use nowhere radio. I've been posting music out on my blogspot site, but it would be nice to have a little more pro front end. What do you guys who use it think of Nowhere? Cool features? Gripes? Jay

    Poll: Who is responsible for all the crap on the radio? (NOTE - multiple answers ok)

    Poll: Who is responsible for all the crap on the radio? 1 - kid consumers with no taste 2 - adult consumers with no taste 3 - adult consumers with no taste, nostalgic for when they were kids with no taste 4 - sophisticated adult consumers who turn their fickle backs on quality artists once the...

    Mothers tell your children not to do what i done done...

    Installed a second hard drive and moved all my wavs, mp3s, songs, etc. to the new drive. Cubase will find these for you BUT... I had built my Cubase song parts in Acid, which has a default naming convention that grabs the track name. I kept them separate by putting them in different...

    My 6.5 year project

    Man, it takes more than 1.5 hours to find my glasses in the morning... ;) While you guys were doing that (and congrats - some VERY nice work), I was finishing up my first serious attempt to take a song I've written all the way through the process. Here's what I sent out to my church music...

    Bellari Pre?

    New GC flyer has an MK-319 plus a Bellari tube pre for $149 US combined. I have an MK-319 already, wouldn't mind a second, though it might be a lot of work to find a match. But I know nothing about Bellari stuff. Opinions, gents?

    When to normalize?

    I just finished a choir recording project - vox plus pipe organ - and really found myself with a distortion problem. I usually like to get everything close to the max (I leave 1-3 db headroom) so I'm hearing consistent levels and roughly similar speaker response to the final product. I think I...

    Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here

    I've been a happy happy Alesis customer for a few years - my church had a QS-8, I have a pair of Monitor-1s. Bought a bunch of the Q-Cards, too - one went bad after a couple of years, but they're cheap to replace. Good experience with product support, too, including a local repair shop that...

    MC012 -10db inserts - When to use?

    The MC012's are here! The MC012's are here! I got my Sound Room matched MC012 hypers - they've got a -10db "insert" I can add. When and why would I do this? I use the mics with 2 setups: at home, into a M-Audio Delta-66/Omni combination, then into a PC with Cubase 5.1 or SoundForge 6.0...

    Remastering mono to stereo?

    Thanks everyone for the help with the choir miking. Unfortunately, one of the mic chains misfired (I suspect the cable between my AudioBuddy and the VS-840), and I only got a mono recording. I get another shot today, but the organ isn't nearly as good, and our performance Friday was...

    Help! choir/organ miking, no time to shop!

    Waaah! My choir (the Madonna University Chorale, no relation to Ms. Ciccone) has a concert Friday night - as in tomorrow. My prof found out I have a VS-840, wants me to record. Second concert on Sunday, same deal. I have Sound Room matched MC012 hypers on order, with an x-y mount and shocks...
