    First Post of Tune by a Aging 70's Semi-Newbie

    You have chosen a challenging tune to cover. I'll give you points for that. There are some timing issues here and there, some of them severe. It sounds like you quantized some of the parts to the wrong grid (like straight sixteenths instead of the song's "shuffle" beat). In my opinion...

    Question for the analog Guru

    That feature reduces the likelihood of accidentally blowing away your time code stripe. "OK, ready to punch in the cowbell on track 15.... <press play> <wait, wait, wait> <punch!> <computer stops playing> CRAP!" Don

    Question for the analog Guru

    I think he's referring to a machine that's capable of chasing another machine's SMPTE time code stream. Pretty much any machine can be a master, but the slave must be capable of speeding up or slowing down to stay in sync with the master. Usually it's simpler to have the computer chase the tape...

    Latin Rock

    I heard a similar sound (sounds like a harmonic) @ 2:02, so I assumed it was intentional. Or at least serendipitous.

    Latin Rock

    Nice job, Tim! It desperately needs a bass track. (I realize that the point of the exercise was to experiment with the guitar, so no fault there.) Maybe I'll have some time this weekend :) Thanks for the heads-up, BTW. Don

    how can i set up perfect harmony on a guitar processor?

    Each half step is 100 cents. So a perfect fifth, 7 half steps, is 700 cents. Getting it to work in a diatonic scale will be tricky, though. Suppose you're playing a descending scale in the key of C. You play C, the harmonizer plays G. You play B, the harmonizer will play, not F, but F sharp...

    cd-r question

    From http://www.digitalproducer.com/2001/09_sep/features/09_24/cdlaw4.htm: So, if you're a member of AFM or AFTRA, you can ask your union where your cut is. When they quit laughing, they might be able to shed some light on the subject for you. I suspect that most or all of the money sticks to...

    m-audiophile 96khz versus 192 Khz

    I have an Audiophile 2496, and it does have S/PDIF (digital) I/O. So unless they've redesigned it (which I doubt), your information from MF is incorrect. (I checked on M-Audio's web site, http://www.m-audio.com, and the information there confirms this.) Also, the 192 has 2 analog outs, not 4...

    Welcome Home

    I'd like to hear it without so much compression. Maybe it's just because I have a headache right now, but it's really getting to me. The piano and rhythm guitar seem to be fighting for the same space in the mix. The vocal, to my ears, sounds very strained. Tense. Self-conscious. I'd like to...

    Hmm.. Cool.....

    I wonder if they put a little glowing light behind the toob to enhance the "warmth"?

    Is There Any Way ???????

    As long as you're sure you can't recover any data, I'm not going to tell you you're wrong. Sorry about the loss. You can do it better the second time anyway, right? Removing the vocal is probably not going to pan out as well as you'd like it to. (ptp) Don

    Is There Any Way ???????

    Unless you have reformatted the hard drive or otherwise destructively overwritten the data, it may be possible to recover at least some of your work. That would be my first choice in this situation. Don

    Audiophile2496 Midi Problem

    Well, altitude909, if you'd only RTFM (hehe), you'd see that it says to power down before connecting the MIDI breakout cable. This is not the same thing as connecting a MIDI cable. The breakout cable plugs into a DB9 connector on the card bracket, and provides MIDI and S/PDIF I/O for the...

    Audiophile2496 Midi Problem

    Off the top of my head: * Did you connect the MIDI breakout cable to the Audiophile before powering up the computer, as the instructions say to do? (If not, power down and back up again.) * Have you selected the Audiophile as the MIDI I/O device in your software's configuration dialog? Don
