    new pitches for any instrument

    I'm sure some experimental electronic musician has done this, for exactly the reasons you describe. As far as the "established music world" is concerned, you are most likely to find something like that on college campuses. who knows, maybe some bad-ass producer has snuck it into the back of...

    Does anyone here set songwriting goals. My report card for 2004 & goals for 2005

    I dunno. Commercially speaking, I think he's right on the money with it being about Jesus. Commercial music in the states - Emminem, Green Day etc. There's no where that I know of that a song with that sound is being marketed today. Also, I bet people who listen to christian rock are...

    I got the sonys. The Senheissers fit a little tight on my head, and i wear glasses.

    Does anyone here set songwriting goals. My report card for 2004 & goals for 2005

    Just a follow up - what do you guys think of keeping one another updated, for example, posting at the end of the month how close we've gotten to our goals, or perhaps at the end of the quarter. For me it would be encourageing to see if others had made progress, and I know that if I fell...

    new pitches for any instrument

    these are mutually exclusive? you would extend the range of your piano *up*, of course. You'd lose stuff at the bottom, unless you used two keyboard, and depending on the range limits of your sampler ... If you pitch shifed up a semi tone from that hi C, lets see ... 7040 for that last A on...

    Does anyone here set songwriting goals. My report card for 2004 & goals for 2005

    Rather than 2005 these are goals for from now untill summer. I also have to find income, and that will be a big project. Finally, I haven't listed any "write X number of songs" type goals because I want to focus for the time being on basics and not put the cart before the horse. **...

    can anyone reccomend headphones?

    Impedence makes sense - (its a friend of mine who said "voltage") thanks for the info about the AKGs being less well built than before, and the sony's being a but more rugged. I've been looking at the Sonys, the AKGs and the Senheissers. Sounds like if I spend about 100$ I'll get decent...

    can anyone reccomend headphones?

    Hi there, I don't have a studio, I'm really just starting on a lot of music production stuff, and I do a lot of my work on the road (cafes etc) on my laptop. I'd like to invest in a good set of headphones. I think they will be enough while I am still learning, and I'd like to make sure I...

    new song (sad)

    I really like "I don’t know how to miss you, ‘cause you were never really there". That's a great line

    Is it a crime if you rhyme every time? Here’s a dime. I’m slime.

    hmm - I remember reading somewhere, in the context of sonnets, about a 'braided' rhyme scheme. One thing, I've noticed is that you have to be really careful mixing rhyme and not rhyme. Like, if you have a 6 line verse and the last two lines only rhyme, thats' consistant, and so not so...

    cool songs for beginners?

    Can anyone reccomend some easier cool songs for a newbie to play (any era) My boyfriend keeps showing me songs that are too hard for me! I'm really enjoying playing "How I wish you were here" (pink floyd) and "the nurse who loved me" (failure) - you can say I prefer darker stuff. I'd...

    looking for crits & feedback

    Thanks for that advice. I guess that's true. I'm still doing a lot of work on this, and on writing in general. Sigh. I get discouraged really easily.

    looking for crits & feedback

    Hello all, This is a draft - I hope to get these ideas into a song eventually. I'm trying to get away from writing the WORDS, erm the analysis and the head stuff, to writing the feelings - for me these two are not synched up yet, so I don't think this makes good poetry. I think I'm...

    (why) does my US-122 suck?!

    Hello Crossstudio & Scrubbs Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, I'm currently making electronic music, but I want to bring in my voice, my acoustic guitar, and hand percussion. So, I won't give up on this unit yet, after christmas I'll set it up again and do some more tests...

    (why) does my US-122 suck?!

    So, I'm wondering, who can really benefit from such a device? Coz it seems to me kind of useless. By the time you've invested in external pre-amps, etc, you've started to rack up some big bills, might as well go for something more professinal, less ad hoc ... The reason I ask is that I'd...
