    Anyone Ever Used Musicians Friend For A Guitar Purch.?

    Some people claim to be able to hear the difference between a wav and a 192k mp3. I believe them, but I'm not one of them. I think hands-on guitar is like that. Daf

    Acid Pro 4.0 grinds to a halt

    I am apparently putting together acd files that are either too complex, or I'm doing something that AP4 doesn't like. My PC's a little old, but it still handles my other apps pretty well - 866 mhz Compaq P3 with 512mb ram, and two HDs, 40gb and 80gb. Running WinME, all competing processes shut...

    So, when does it become "good money after bad"?

    I have this 3-year old PC. A few problems over the years - bad software install forced a reinit and lost a bunch of stuff, it's on its 3rd modem, 2nd CD-RW drive. I added a second hard drive, and doubled the ram. It's an 866mhz Compaq P3, now with 512mb ram. Running WME. I've been okay...

    The Idiot Bows Out

    Keyboard Track Advise

    That's some low end, man.:( If you're recording on a computer, just record the midi and play back using some soft synths (or soundfonts, if you have the right setup). Plenty of free DXi/VSTi type modules out there. If you're on tape, well, GFL... Daf

    A very simple concept song please critique

    This one line is clumsy. The rest is great. Melody and delivery will matter a lot, but this is a good set of lyrics. I liked the loose rhymes especially. Good idea! Daf

    a synth has onboard sounds, a controller doesn't.

    Looking for free sampler

    Here's a link: http://www.computermusic.co.uk/about/ds404.asp Dunno if you can download the VSTi itself, but there's plenty of info. Mag's about $13 at Border's and Barnes & Noble - also comes with free sequencer, softsynth, a couple of drum machines, 303-style bass --- c'mon, you'll love it...

    First Paying Gig-Recording a Choir (lots of questions)

    Up in the air is good if you can - angled properly, reduces crowd noise (*cough*), still gets your source full on. My only experience is X-Y (MC-012 hypers) and parallel (AXS-4s). Both worked okay. X-Y, if done right, should minimize your phase problems. Wind screen shouldn't hurt on the...

    cheatin' lyrics

    Nicely done. Some of it's a little generic - I like Slim's idea about more specifics on the dress - could maybe apply this elsewhere too - but it's solid like it is. I dunno about a bridge - most blues tunes don't have em, I don't think. And, of course, a lesbian subplot could alway add some...

    The Humpty-Dumpty Effect

    Until now, no one had measured the absolute acoustic profile of the human body—that is, how the body scatters sound waves independently of where it happens to be. An elongated egg? Weird. Prob'ly take a few years to sort out the recording studio impact, ya think? Daf

    Favorite Bass Riffs

    Ditto Cucumber Slumber, also Teen Town (same band, different bassist) Peg - Steely Dan (Carl Radle?) Disco Inferno - Trammps Back In Love Again - LTD Watermelon Man - Headhunters Tom Sawyer - Rush Crossroads - Cream (the tone had a lot to do with it) Never Tell Your Mother She's Out of...

    J-Station

    Radio Shack has a pretty good wall wart selection - I especially like their mix-n-match approach to the cables. Dunno if they have AC boxes too, but worth a check. Daf

    Is compression more commonly a software thing or a stand alone thing?Af

    I've noticed that software models tend not to do sidechaining - that would be a big advantage to hardware compression. I believe there ARE some s/w compressors that do sidechaining, but they're the exception...

    Chord Progessions Copyrighted?

    Highly doubtful. Green Onions is just a 12 bar boogie, Louie Louie (which is NOT 1-4-5, but 1-4-5 minor - c'mon guys, you're embarassing yourselves:rolleyes: ) was recycled r&b - there is a 1-4-5 tune with the same rhythm - aptly named "Beg Borrow & Steal" - nobody sued anybody over it, and...

    Chord Progessions Copyrighted?

    It's also why Steve Miller and Led Zeppelin are wealthy today, and so many bluesmen died in poverty and obscurity. They outright STOLE songs and claimed them as their own. Whoever has the best lawyer wins...:mad: Daf
