    new song - What Do I Know? (what you think of it?)

    I'm impressed with your recording...I've listened to it a few times...on the first listen your vocal made me think of Bob Dylan (in a good way, I mean the vocal is in tune and sounds good to me)...also I get an overall mid-sixties vibe from your song (maybe it's the delay effect) which has an...

    new song - What Do I Know? (what you think of it?)

    Hey...you might want to double check your link...when I click on it it takes me to a login page (which is okay since I use soundclick also), but when I login I am taken to my own administrative page (not to your song). When I create a link I go to the web page (within soundclick) with the song...

    New song

    That is about how I feel...and I'm not a purist, that is I'm open to synths doing strings and horns but these synth sounds just seem to be "in my face" in a negative way...maybe try bringing the synth sounds down a bit and give them more "atmosphere" with some more reverb, making them sound...

    Can I Just By-Pass Midi and Use Keyboard?

    Sounds like it would work as long as you record your rhythm guitar along to some kind of beat or metronome at the very start (then you wouldn't get into bad timing "build-up"as you add the drums and other instruments later in the process)... I've never gotten officially into the whole...

    is this in mastering??

    You can do this in Cakewalk's Pyro (and probably other programs but I only know about Pyro...I use Pyro 2004)...Looking at Cakewalk's website it appears that the feature you are asking about (cross-fades) are retained in Pyro 5 (Pyro 5 is a $29 download) where it describes makeing "seamless DJ...

    Keyboard and MIDI

    Hey...this is all I got for you (I am not a MIDI guru, but I am taking a "music technology" class)...try finding and setting your "omni on/off" settings to "omni off" (especially on your recieving device)...hope this helps.

    Simon and Garfunkle

    I like them...they have to be one of my top ten favorite musical acts/groups/performers.

    Best/Favorite Keyboardist?

    I'll say Greg Hawkes of The Cars...he's not known as a "virtuoso"...but he seemed to be able to put in just the right notes (and sounds) in the right places (without getting too weird) and took the songs up a notch with his keyboard parts. As far as keyboard solos...There's a song from the...

    Best Solo Ever (No Nirvana allowed, Or Dave Grohl)

    The first one that came to mind: Eddie Van Halen in Michael Jackson's "Beat It".

    A Solid Synth?

    I'm not dissing the micron...I was just commenting that with $400-$500 to spend (especially if buying new) I would take a look at (put it on my short list) the Yamaha S03 (because Yamaha is a reputable synth maker, it's a modern synth that is now in production, it has 61 keys and 64-note...

    WTB: Roland VS-840 EX

    Hey...I have one of these...I got it off ebay over two years ago...it was going to be my big step from 4-track cassette to digital recording...but it has mostly sat unused...I have powered it up and played the demo zip-disk and experimented at recording a couple of tracks on it but I have found...

    A Solid Synth?

    I would consider the Yamaha S03 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=key/s=synths/search/detail/base_pid/701490/

    Gigs

    Hey I'm no drummer but reading this thread made me think of the Stray Cats...In the 80's videos the drummer is playing while standing up and it looks like he has maybe a bass drum, a snare drum, and one cymbal (maybe two)...it looks like he could pick up the whole set and walk off with it...I...

    Recommendations for Sound Card?

    If you only want to record one source at a time the soundcards I've seen most recommended here (on this board) are the M-Audio Audiophile 2496 and the Emu 0404, both are around $100 ......there are a bunch of comments on these cards if you do a search.

    I have never used it but I believe Audacity is a free recording program...you might check that out.

    A lesson I heard about buying gear

    Man all of this hits so close to home........I did the bouncing thing with the cheap shoebox cassette recorder and cassette boombox also (using the "onboard" microphones)...now 20 years later I've got 10 times more recording power than I ever dreamed I would ever have and it's "someday I'm going...

    E-MU 0404 Soundcard

    Yeah...I've thought about upgrading to one of these $100 cards that have come up in discussion here (either the m-audio 2496 or the emu 0404)...I only need to record one instrument at a time. I've now got a soundblaster live which I've seen dissed a lot on this board. I've read the back and...

    opinion on korg n364

    Hey...I was checking out the N364 on ebay...some are going for $800 +...it seems to be holding its value very well...(I think you could have gotten a new one for $1100-$1200 about 10 years ago)

    anyone selling any keyboards?

    Hey...I have a brand-new condition Yamaha PSR-275 (I bought it new about a month ago, took it out of the box to check it out (played it for an hour) and put it back in the box. My idea was to sell it on ebay and make a few bucks but I am a terrible sellsman and I didn't get any bids (I had the...
