I watched a debate this afternoon about piracy & creative copyright. One of the threads of arguments was very interesting. I'll summarize: Crapple makes devices and some software to use on those devices. Crapple have iToons which has become ubiquitous and is best operated form a Crapple device...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/heart-shaped-bruise-the-other Hello Folks, Here's a variation on July Lie Thing. Kevin White did a fabulous & catchy vocal/lyric take for the backing. This is a version that uses a set of lyrics I had earmarked for the track. The melody & singing are by Phrasemaker...

http://kunaki.com/Sales.asp?PID=PX00ZERI99 That's the Kunaki link to the Pygmy Beat album - "Like Lies To Children" It's been a long time in the making but the guest artists and mastering make it a reality. Cheapish - US$8 + postage. Naturally I'll send copies to Gerry, Greg, Rami & Faderbug as...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/julything-with-kdubs THe above is a mix with Kdub's melody, lyrics and vocals. He did such a splendid job I figured his parts needed a proper drop in. There's still some work to be done on this with drums, lead lines as well as the set of lyrics I started & will...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/watch-with-fritzthegirl https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26003421/watch%2003%2009%2013.mp3 The links take you to the latest mix of Watch with fritzthegirl on vocals, ido1957 on lead guitar & fat_fleet on drums. Thank you to those folk for their invaluable...

Here's the latest update of Watch. Trish (FTG) has rerecorded the vocals - added some more melody to my drone and extra vocals for the chorus. I've dropped them in and set approx levels with no compression and just a little de essing. I think she's done a fabulous job. To flesh out the track...

It seems rather odd that there are so many members posting links to completed projects/EPs/Albums. The idea behind the forum is to post a recording with a view to getting suggestions or comments on the mix of that recording. Some additional comment re song quality, lyrics and genre/style or...

Hello Folks, I read quite a bit about Emerick's book in various places across the forum and decided to get a copy to have an informed opinion. It's a good read, lots of insight into Beatle life, and the occasionali insight regarding engineering audio - though much of it not applicable to...

Six of the best British amps | Laney Ironheart IRT-Studio | MusicRadar Hmmm. The Orange is sectacularly more expensive than the rest.

This is one of my hitherto unfinished projects entitled Watch. LOTS of guitars, LOTS of minor chords, a bit of melancholy, a stinging solo and a voice that belies the lyrical bent (emphasis on bent). Ido1957 created & plays the guitar solo while Fritzthegirl created the melody, amended the...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/ldc-noise This noise, or similar, has occurred across a couple of preamps & phantom power supplies across the last fortnight. It's a Behringer C1 and has, until now, done a sterling job. Any suggestions on the problem/s and possible solution/s?

Here's something I put together last night & this arvo. The progression (well most of it) has been haunting me for about three months - decided I'd better get it down before I forgot it or went troppo. I had a really cool busy bass line but it killed what the guitars are doing in one part so i...

Slight rearranging for July. Here're a few snaps of my recording space. I rearranged things as I scored an excellent late 90's Yamaha direct signal stereo amp and figured it should be set up in as good a position as possible to take advantage of its excellent sound and to improve work flow. The...

Hello folks, I have a Fender 12 string acoustic - gift from the wife some years ago -and I was interested in what type of soundhole pickup I'd need to use with it. I have an old Schaeller western pickup from the mid 90's but it's intended for a 6 string - works pretty well on a 6...

Here's another attempt to tame this song. The 1st link is to the soundclcik page & the second to a 320MP3. Music page of Pygmy Beat - MP3 music page on SoundClick https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26003421/softdance%20june%2015%2013.mp3 Drums are by RAMI - done a few years back, lead guitar...

The Pros & Cons, and relevant depth, of "remastering" - No, NOT LOUDNESS wars again! I've bought a few CD "remasters" in the last several years and sometimes they're less than good, (particularly if they were in the early crop of CDs that weren't mastered specifically for CD), some have been...

Hello Folks, I've read a fair bit about the Janglebox, watched the demos etc as well as reading about getting the same/similar effect with a Dynacomp & EQ pedals. Dynacomps are almost as expensive in Australia as the Jangle box is in the US. Does anyone know any tricks or tweaks...

This is a track I started some time ago but had to give up on two versions due to, interestingly in both cases, drum track problems. THIS version has a drum track care of Band in a Box. - Yeah, I know but it was a gift from the wife & I've managed to put it to use in some way. The benefit of the...

NEW version on page three. 2012 into 13 4 13 by rayc on SoundCloud - Hear the world Version 2 at bottom of page. I can't work out how to embed the soundcloud player in this post - I've tried & tried but give up for now. This is the most recent thing I've taken just about as far as I can go...

I don't know, what's a little sparkle, quality control, communication and stuff like that? Mine's been mickey'd with too - somone popped in a hummer at the bridge (sounds cool though) and did a rotten wiring job on it but I had it all fixed for $80. It's the shape, the look, the references to...
