    Some lyrics I've come up with. Critique?

    I don't think it's bad (that's a lot coming from me). There's nothing that sticks out like a sore thumb, to me. Proabably plenty of potential. On the down side, the story is not much developed. It does not make much of an impression on me, as a story, i.e. a novel. Not memorable. But the...

    How important are lyrics to you ...and why ?

    Apamallard Do you think you could have fallen in love with Dylan's words at a poetry reading, divested of the music in which the art was framed? Imagine never having heard the music that accompanied Dylan's songs to begin with. Could you love something on a par with Bob Dylan's words...

    How important are lyrics to you ...and why ?

    1) This is the first time I totally agree 100% with Greg_L, and I'm referring to the first post of his on this thread. That the content of the words are the least important part of a song, usually. 2) the OP did ask for people's personal opinions. Therefore, the people attacking Greg_L's...

    How to play guitar...HOLD UP!?

    Speaking of the Fugue in Gm, I love that piece. By any chance you hear Styx' version of it? Their title was "Little Fugue in Gm - Father OSA". Nobody knows what the OSA stood for.

    How to play guitar...HOLD UP!?

    Again, and not enough can be said for sample-playback workstations whose programmers have put a ton of effort into the various nuances of a guitar sound (electric or acoustic). It requires great samples, layers of samples, and awesome effects, to come up with a convincing guitar patch. Then...

    midi's stereo?

    Yes Be that as it may, MIDI can do stereo. It's just that you need a little more education about what you are dealing with. The MIDI messages can contain PAN information. There are so many examples that could be written about here, so I'll just try one: You might have a MIDI Song via a...

    How to map Akai MPK25 pads & dials?

    I just did a quick search on Google and found your exact question asked 3x on a forum site called Cubase.net, but nobody answered the question there, either. Because I have some experience using Reason 4.0 with MIDI controllers, all I can suggest, or ask you, is - does Cubase have a "learn...
