thanks, zip... ...kind of what I suspected. I've been using Maxell branded CDR's and have had no problems at all with them. I did get the ones that specify 'Music' on them. Is there any merit to that designation? I use them for burning CD's from my 16 track recorder, but not for data...

unbranded?? sorry -- what does 'unbranded' indicate? thanks, spwee

I agree Despite all the hype and the ascendency of Sgt. Pepper to the highest ranks of legend and folklore, I'll take Revolver for its tunes. spwee

psmith66 -- Hey man, I enjoyed your tunes! Your vocals sound fine to me -- I thought I detected a little Roy Orbison in there. Your sound has a real authentic quality to it -- keep up the good work! spwee

Thanks, AlChuck! Glad you could finally listen to my tunes. I appreciate your nice comments. Yes I did post on the Mixing Clinic and already got a good response. Also put out the word on the VS Planet BBS, and the Akai DPS forum on Yahoo Groups, and the feedback has been very positive...

psmith66 -- Thanks alot for your nice comments and encouragement. Yes, I've been playing for a long time, but stopped altogether from 1992-1998. Then, got the digital recording station this year, so it's been 15 years since I've written and recorded anything -- and I'm really enjoying it...

Hi -- These are guitar instrumentals recorded on an Akai DPS-16. Each tune is different, so if you don't like one, you might like one or more of the others. If you stream the tunes, please choose the MP3 format, since the Real format sounds really awful. Any feedback would be appreciated...

AlChuck -- Finally got my tunes posted at: http://granthambleton.iuma.com If you choose to stream, please use the MP3 format -- the Real format sounds Real Bad. The tunes are all different; many are pretty funky. My Holdsworth knockoff tune is called 'ThroughLine'. Got the new Jack Bruce...

AlChuck -- No, have never heard of this fellow or the site -- thanks for the links, they sound interesting, I'll check them out right away. Still waiting on this damn software company to get back to me so I can download an installable version of their CD ripping program and get my tunes...

Akai DPS-16 mixing down to Masterlink.

AlChuck and Gonzo -- Yeah, Allan many time does sound better on other people's stuff. I think he does better when he's not producing. He can't see his own forest for his own trees. Never heard that Jack Bruce thing, that sounds very intriguing, nor have I heard the Wackerman stuff. I do...

AlChuck -- I've been racking my brain trying to recall the sound of Blodwyn Pig. I went on Amazon.com and peoples' reviews of their albums, particularly 'Ahead Rings Out' are way over the top -- fiercely complimentary. Do you have that one? The only complaint about the version of that album...

Meshuggah -- Wow, that's some pretty intense music there -- kind of high octane rap-metal with some interesting rhythmic undercurrents. The lead guitar player kind of got buried in the mix but his Allan Holdsworth style is quite evident. I'd like to hear him take an extended solo. Good...

Oh sure, Wayne Krantz, I have two of his albums. A guitar player friend of mine from Philadelphia turned me on to him. He goes to NYC to study with Wayne once a month, or at least he did a couple of years ago. Man, how time flies. Krantz did a tour with Steely Dan, an enviable gig. He can...

AlChuck -- Well, I broke down and uploaded my tunes to IUMA.com last night. Fast, easy process to do that along with creating your own little page. The whole drill took less than an hour. They said it will be up and running within two business days, so I'll let you know when it happens. I...

AlChuck -- Guess I'll have to keep twiddling and tweaking with the DI devices. My big problem is, the sound I hear when I record is fine, but sounds kind of thin and brittle in the finished product. Really needs aggressive EQ'ing to sound like it should on the burned CD. I'm using the...

AlChuck -- All right, dammit, how are you getting such a 'live', ambient sound when recording direct with a POD. What kind of reverb are you using? Are you routing through another pre before the recording input? Are you using one of the standard patches or did you do the Soundiver drill and...

AlChuck -- Hey, I liked your tune. You definitely got that Stern tone happening, plus the guitar has a really nice ambient quality to it. I'm assuming that you are micing an amp? (Please don't tell me you are using a POD, since that's what I use alot but don't get that good result). Cool...

I think the Holdsworth album that got Allan pissed off was 'Velvet Darkness'. He always goes ballistic when that subject comes up. I think it was a Creed Taylor production. They let Allan and his band come in the studio for like one afternoon to do the whole album. Then they released it and...
