what would you think of this..... similar card, by emu. I've had bad luck with m audio http://www.americanmusical.com/item--i-EMU-8803.html

I can't recommend any soundcards, but if you can swing a dvd burner (around 60bucks now). It's much better for backing stuff up/storing. I'd recommend a bigger drive too, although it's pretty big you'll be surprised about how quickly you can fill it, esp. if you do anything else (video...

I know I said I'd start the writting/critiqing group, but honestly I havn't had the time to frequent the forum like I thought I'd be. Though I'll still be around, I can't commit! Sorry.

Ok, new topic... tommorrow though! I still use my paper! I do like using the computer now for writing... I can type faster! Sometimes a handheld recording works wonders for "getting it all" too.

Chris, that's some good stuff! It doesn't necesarrily have to be exactly dialed into the article, that was just something to start us off. I'll try again to post my stuff. Maybe we should do this every other week! It's taken me alot longer than I thought. A4, that's a pretty simple setup. It...

I thought lit's big hit was a novelty... just about any big rap crossover song is a novelty... offsprings rip off of oom pa dee (my friends got a girlfriend and he hates that bitch) was one, lets see...

Yeah, I guess we're posting for others to shoot darts at it. Personally I believe my own shiznit sucks, so any + feedback will be... well... well taken. Now. I can't remember the damn password to my server... ok, ok it's been like a year, I'll figure it out soon. So, you married this chic...

Some bands I think need recognition for songwriting are: Jawbreaker Snuff My pal's band Ethylene (www.ethyline.com) And alot others. Now, back to your subject.... at first I thought weezer was cheasy, wana be, pus pop, but damn, they convinced me with pinkerton that they wern't sellout and...

you forgot the "I like it until the 200th time I hear it" I'm into humor, yeah the novelty song dies, I'm not into most but they get my attention.

Heh, I hope I don't build up an expectation that I can't match. :) I kinda think it rocks but I'm not quite happy with everything... heck I thought I'd just throw something together for the excercise, and I ended up kinda liking it! I liked your stuff too, so hopefully I'll get to hear how...

I'm probably just going to post it how it currently is, and eventually redo the vocal once I have time to rehash it and learn it well. Otherwise, it's essentially done! It came together awefully quickly. I sat there with nothing for about 15 minutes thinking, damn I'll never come up with...

I don't think it should be mandatory- but if someone has the time to do it, then that'd be cool! Though, the quality isn't really important. I know with mine, the vocal take definately isn't what I completely want.... Anyway, I'll try to figure out where to post mine soon.

Ok, I'll try to post a critique before I post my own. Considering how broad the rules were, it's hard to critique as well. Maybe next time we can make stuff more specific topic wise. I like the opening verse: the visual of the eagle really starts working for me! The only problem I have is...

Good idea Bob... I was thinking that we'd all do our own individually, then see what everyone has.... but I do like that title.

No rules- I too thought this was a very difficult piece to write about. That's why I chose it, because normally I never would have chosen it. Personally, I just.... well... I'm not done yet... just read the article, and wrote about how I felt, whatever came to mind. I'm still trying to...

check my post last week about pinch writting, taking a subject from the news and writing about the topic. It's supposed to be an excercise.

Hear you go guys, Straight outta the news! http://www.cnn.com/2002/LAW/02/05/ret.indictment.suicide.attacks/index.html

Yeah it's a learning curve for me too. Generally I try to make things as simple as possible, it's better than going too far. A light funk feel... could work. Try it out! Heh. Still though I like what you have so far.

Well, since I'm always attracted to catchy melodies, I immediately thought of how I'd do it. It's not so much me thinking "how I could improve it" as much as I'm thinking, well just how I'd do it. I'd probably do it faster, with a electric & bass in the verse, then switch to overdriven guitars...

Yeah, the pauses, with fills, would probably do the job, and sound really good! It's like I could hear that there was something missin', didn't know you intended to add a drum track. Alot of my songs, I'll play differently with a drummer than without, because it's hard to fill the song out all...
