Here's a little instrumental house-ish dance track for your listening (dis)pleasure. I got tired of singing and guitaring and recording, so I fired up the old FL Studio and gave it my best shot. All critique, comments, feedback on mixing and content = very much appreciated. It's only two...

Yeah, I tore through that book. So much great info. I hate to be a snob, but the sheer number of spelling and grammatical errors in that book is mind-boggling, though. I mean, how much can it be to hire a copy editor?

I can't answer your question, but FL Studio kicks serious butt for beat-making. Check it out.

Like a basketball. A ten-ton basketball bouncing on the Moon. If the Moon had 1/1000 of its gravity. And was made of polished hardwood.

I have nothing to compare them to, but I am loving my MXL v67 and 603s pair. LOVING 'em. All told, they cost me about $200. For three mics! I'm happy. I can sense it, I'll be a gearhead before long....at least, as soon as my budget allows.

HOLY SHIT you know the guy who did "Pump Up The Volume"? That's crazy.

How I write chord progressions: C Am F G Rearrange as necessary. Throw in an E, Bm, or F#m once in awhile for intrigue. Transpose the results into a variety of keys. DISCLAIMER: This method has been shown to work poorly for jazz.

Actually, I wrote those lyrics. They were inspired by your lovely post. After I finished, I noticed their stylistic resemblance to Neil Peart's work. Sorry to disappoint about the Peart psychic connection. :o :D

Hey, this looks like a film I'd be interested in. Thanks for the tip! I don't have cable, but Netflix has it on instant-watch.

The journey to the peak is long / Filled with sights, and smells, and songs / If you live just to reach the peak / Your spirit dies, the path is bleak Neglect to gaze beyond the trail / And the will to forge ahead may fail / Upon your goal the path depends / Never straight, it always bends...

Southern Comfort is nice, but a pack of Luckys always helps me warm up my pipes. If it was good enough for Al, it's good enough for me.

This is an inspiring thread. Now, I just need to get the heck off this forum and get to work. :spank: :spank:

I've been volunteering in a one-man recording studio this summer (he does mostly jazz), and the first time I sat in, I took one look at this.... ....and eagerly exclaimed, "wow, that's an impressive mixing board!" *facepalm* David may have been impressed by my enthusiasm, but my technical...

Yup. I usually get my song ideas in a sudden flash of inspiration, but I also tend to expend conscious energy on massaging them later. There's no one method or mindset that always yields results.

Plus, soda makes me burp like all hell. Which is a no-no for singing. Water FTW.

Oh man, I almost forgot....my jazz guitar epiphany was hearing Pat Martino play "Oleo" on Live At Yoshi's (plus, it's got some really tasty organ thrown in as a bonus). My old jazz teacher made me learn the whole solo....I never learned to play it up to tempo though. I think I could now if I...

I don't have any recording suggestions, but that track is pretty dope. Hoping to hear more.

I typically use Dunlop Tortex or Big Stubby 1.0mm picks. When I need a little something extra, I reach for a Big Stubby 2.0mm. Thick picks are where it's at. If no picks are available, I'm always down for some fingerstyle.

I'm more of a Pete Seeger guy. But at age 91, I doubt he'll be touring this summer.

I don't know where they go....I just know that they are in a better place. R.I.P.
