I Just put an MP3 for dog lovers out there. This is a version of the 1970's Gilbert O'Sullivan tune "Alone Again, Naturally" . . . as sung by our two dogs. They hate it when we leave the house for overnight trips. Go to idrive.com . . . enter "PAPicker" in the visitor block . . . and play or...

All > Thanks for the reviews and kind comments. I agree the percussion is off tempo and cheezy to say the least . . . I might redo the small amount of percussion in the song maybe with better samples. Like everyone above has mentioned, it's definately the weak point of the tune. I might work...

I took Emeric's advice and moved the song " Model Man" to idrive.com. Just enter "PAPicker" in the visitor block. Hope you have better luck with this server. Thanks and have a great 4th of July ! Regards, PAPicker

If it's an onboard sound card it's most likely not full duplex . . . time to order a new sound card . . . then a mixer . . . then a better mic . . . then a compressor . . . then a POD . . . then . . . dum-dum-dum another one bites the dust ! Regards, PAPicker

pglewis, Thanks for listening and the comments. Originally there was no percussion at all. The little I added was done one note at a time and is not that good. The entire project was finished in one night . . . I was in a hurry ! Regards, PAPicker

I listened to them all. Especially liked "There I Go" . . . good vocal and guitar work. The mixes were all pretty nice. I'll stand by for your next installment. Regards, PAPicker

I mention headroom bkz I mix totally within my software. I may have 16 tracks of audio that I eventually mixdown to stereo tracks. When you do this, the individual tracks overlay on themselves and the overall dB level of the mix is much higher than the individual tracks. I've found, working in...

Damn Emeric ! I Checked out ATYW and SoSad . . . I like um both. Your tunes sound so full and lively ! Great vocals . . . SoSad kind of had a John Lennon feel to it. Loved the guitar work in both, especially the end of ATYW . . . for some reason I was hearing Supertramp in that tune. Great...

Using Cakewalk PA9, I've found that you have to leave yourself plenty of headroom working in 24bit when you plan to convert to 16bit! Anthing close to 0dB at 24bit will end up with digital distortion after coverting to 16bit. This may be your problem. Regards, PAPicker

Here's an opinionated answer. IMHO, it's easier to mimic a strat with a copy than to get LP tone from a copy, so I bought a LP and a Mexican Strat. I agree that both tones are desireable. I'd also like to have an ES 335 . . . a unique and pleasing tone. I haven't found a copy yet that can come...

I never leave mine on the stand . . . not even the AT4033 with the pain-in-the-ass shock mount . . at least it came with a padded storage case. I would also worry about moisture using the plastic bag. For my mics that didn't come with padded cases, I bought cheap hand gun cases at Wal-Mart for...

Gibs > I ran a download test yesterday just after I uploaded the file . . . everything worked great. Thanks for trying . . . I'll email you the file if you wish . . . let me know. Teddie > Yeah, its xdrive.com : Enter "PAPicker" in the username block and "lespaul" in the password block.The...

OK, guys . . . I just placed a recently completed MP3 out there for your critical ears. The song is called "Model Man" and I wrote it for my Dad for Father's Day. It is on Xdrive ( username: PAPicker password: lespaul ). This is the LowFi version of the MP3 file . . . the HiFi version is...

Track Rats Right. Get on Ebay and search for a Tom Schultz ( Boston ) power soak. They go used for $75 - $100 and will let you use all the tube power at low volumes. They are installed between the amp and the speakers. PAPicker

UPdate !!! I said I'd try collinp's advice and disable DMA for kicks and grins. Well, I'm grinning ! It worked the first time ! Thanks dude, and Welcome aboard the BBS, collinp. I hope it wasn't a fluke or something. Tell me, collinp, will disabling DMA cause any interupt problems ? . . . and...

Thanks for all tips guys ! I've been away from the computer for a few days and am just getting back to the problem solving. >nodark, I did upgrade to 4.01 . . no luck >sonusman, Yeah, I've installed lots of hardware and software . . . might be a registry problem or such . . . thanks ! >Jon X, I...

Today, I was trying to make a Audio CD from a Wav file using Adaptec EZ CD creator 4.0 deluxe. I made one coaster . . . buffer underrun. I then performed testing which went OK. Then I tried again, only ran the Test and no recording. Every time I try, Adaptec hangs up my system about 5% complete...

Ditto Cooperman, but with me it's more like . . . drums guitar bass vocals backing vocals drum fills redo the lead vocals redo bass track bkz it didn't punch through lead guitar redo rhythm guitar bkz now it's lost in mix add more percussion redo backing vocal bkz now they sound out of tune...

Hey Buck, That reminds me of the joke about the old guy who put dog shit on his lips when they were chapped. It didn't help cure chapped lips, but it sure kept him from lickin' em. PAPicker

I have written about a dozen songs, but can't seem to create good music for it. I have at least that many riffs and progressions, but can't write decent lyrics to fit the mood. It's getting damn frustrating !! Anyone else have this problem ? PAPicker
