Manchester? Newcastle? Liverpool??? (not sheffield, right?)

I've got a mac powerbook G4 - I think its a pretty good sound card - I have decent cables - I spent about 24$ for a 12 ft XLR (can't remember the brand - the cable is at tim's house - I gotta get that back) and the mike is a sure (sm?)57 For a hot signal at this point, I'm gonna take a 1/4...

Thank you! Yeah, I think I will try to do a version II. I need to work on developing a melody. OH -- I think I may try to use another instrument & either toss the melody back & forth or split the motif & a solo, and give them to different instrument. I just thought of that! ps...

Is it just me - or it it really hard to get good hot levels from a mic plugged into a US-122. Does anybody know anything I can do to get a hotter audio signal from it? thanks, Layla

oops double post - :(

I've been posting here for about 2 years - the one big issue I have had is about how much my stuff sucks. I have hated almost everthing I have done so much that I have been unable to finish it. Anyway, I have finally finished a piece and put it on soundclick. Its really nothing great -...

Hi Bartman, Good luck with your efforts. I'll be 40 in 6 months. I may just start doing open mike nites here in boston in a few months. I hope you realize your dream. Keep us posted.

(I think this is a way old thread - but) All the #(%&@!! time. Its why I've stopped writing. My stuff is pure meaningless crap. Its like a disease, like an urge to please like a tickle in my brain take any sound whatever I've found and match it again & again ...

Ya Dude!! *well* done. You do good stuff. (Kinda creepy. I once wrote these 4 lines I'd curse the skies I'd run through rain I'd burn the world to end my pain. Once I'd gotten those, I couldnt' go any further. BLOCK! - but wierd, the scansion & ideas are very similar...

I like what you've done. (and I agree with MikeH)

wow - 33 people looked and nobody had an opinion. Nobody liked it? (taste difference, perhaps?) I'm really curious to know how people here liked it (or didn't) LN

I have the hardest time telling what chords I'm hearing, and what is I (Do). I *have* been able to say "Oh - this chord progression sounds alot like the one in (song y)" and I'll be right, or really close, but just listening and saying, that's Do (or I) , that's V, that's bVII. I also...

Wow - is that Ringo Starr? Whatever happened to him? (or is it perhaps its Lenin???? )

yeah, absolutely. I got a song, and arab singer and an isreali singer doing "Imagine" in Arabic, Hebrew and English. Also, the Algerians do a lot of bilingual french/arabic songs.

Have you ever seen a robot pee?

My personal favorite (yikes - Ok now there's a link!) "Sleeping bags and dramamine, soon you'll be gone tie my shoelace, this is your song You are omnipotent, always around, I don't know how to swim, maybe I'll drown" http://www.soundclick.com/bands/8/bencantilmusic.htm This is my freind's...

Dance music -- its AAAAALL about the production. I'm still trying to figure out a lot of it. Compressor. A freind of mine said "don't let the patches control you" easy for him to say. He's been doing sound design for 10 years. My stuff sucks. What do you use? I have logic 6, which...

I think anything that gets you writing is good. As long as you get some output.

This is exactly what I was trying to say in my earlier post. Perhaps I didn't explain it well, because some people seemed to think my advice was really inappropriate. But if you show real incidents from you life, oddly enough, it will be even more meaningful to other people than just...

Hi, Barre chords were really making me crazy If I played F- or any minor chord on the E string, I could never get the G string to ring out. Its was always muted. I got this helpful advice from a freind. It made such a difference in my playing, that I wanted to share it. What...
