    Evantide gear?

    The harmonizer is the most used, second is the delay they have. They are pretty pricey. I guess it's mostly that what keeps people from buying them. In a budget setup, most people don't tend to spend half their fortune in a delay or -even less- in a harmonizer... The harmonizer isn't that easy...

    Setting up your own shows

    There's different situations. Over here, you can find places to play, that will pay you. Other venues organize concerts, and if they don't want to book you, you can rent the place, and organize it yourself. So, you're really not paying to play there, but you rent the place... Dunno if this is...

    Hail Music Theory!!!

    One of the teachers at school told my friend the saxplayer that he shouldn't bother about blues yet. Blues is something to play when you're like 50 or something. Old and expirienced. :D He really meant that to play jazz-blues, the bebop kind I guess, you better be good... I ain't playing no...

    Hail Music Theory!!!

    Yeah... You're right I guess... I'm into this weird music. hehe. It depends on what you're into ofcourse. But there's alot of simple dorian music, that you can easily understand. Pink Floyd did a few modal tunes, Impressions and So What are fairly easy jazzstandards... HERE I found some really...

    Hail Music Theory!!!

    Mikeh, what you are doing is rewriting theory. You don't need to. You can give me about any song, and I'll explain you what's happening in it. THAT's music theory. If you study songs, and get the theory out, you'll get there, but reeeeaaaaally slowly. If you study theory, and use the songs as...

    Hail Music Theory!!!

    I've been doing 4part writing for over 4 years now. In the beginning it's a bitch. But once you get to altered chords and all the non chord tones you can use it's really interesting. I'm writing up to 10 hours a week now in 4 part harmony, and my understanding and feel of chords in general is...

    Hail Music Theory!!!

    Actually, I knew how to sightread, and learn to play guitar by ear from my 15 to my 20th. One year of music theory back then, when I took up classical guitar... That caused a big block. Didn't have any further education, till about 3 years later, started studying again. Hardcore this time. And...

    Hail Music Theory!!!

    Music theory is a bitch.... to start out with. You seem to loose your creativity, and you can't make up anything decent with what you have learned. Then, after a while, the music theory gets you further than what you have learned in a non-formal way, and you learn some things that DO sound, but...

    My new band/project, live tune!

    You're right about the live recording. This really is just a quick and dirty recording. Stereopair somewhere near the stage and FOH speakers, set the levels and press record. The way to go would be just record each instrument/line seperate on a track and add the stereo pair for ambience, but...

    nu computer4me!

    Nah... You don't need a mac. If you want to start a commercial studio, you'd have a reason for mac -compatibility with other protools systems-, but a modernday pc running XP is about just as stable as any mac I've worked with.

    I think this is very interesting...

    Actually, it is USB2, which DOES have the necessary bandwith. But, I wouldn't risk it without a decent test. Alot of USB interfaces (the ones in your pc) claim to support it, but it is a fairly new standard, so I wouldn't bet on it. And, if you have no need for it, why go USB? PCI is the most...

    Does someone sell an ide minidisk drive?

    I thought the newer minidiscs had a USB interface? That would have the necessary drivers and the documentation you need to get it running. I don't have one myself, but one of my friends records stuff (mostly spoken word, she's studying broadcasting) and bounces it to her PC using USB.

    laptop vs. desktop

    Well, the logic support might still be running, but not for long... I opted for a PC, since there's more choice for software, more freeware etc, and for the same thing, it's cheaper which is logical since there's different brands and there's direct concurrence between companies. And I'm...

    laptop vs. desktop

    Jee... Now you're on the Mac/PC thing... That's a totally different discussion. As far as the numbers go, the higher the numbers, the better mostly. :) I know what all the numbers stand for, but I'm not up to date with all the models etc, maybe do a search on laptops or something. I just know...

    laptop vs. desktop

    I have a 17" on my laptop, and I can just as easily connect a second screen... Depends on the laptop too, put a faster drive in it, and you're set. Firewire HD. It's more expensive, you pay for the portability, but you can do it without any problems... What's that about a controller? It's...

    My new band/project, live tune!

    I'll take that as a complement. I LOVE most of Zorn's stuff. I'm a big fan of him. :cool: Ped. I'm Belgian indeed. Does it show? Are we that strange, musically? The keys are really funny... I love it when he does that. The recording sounds kinda hollow because of the venue. It's really a...
