    Cover: How Much I Feel

    The usual Dachay harmony vocals are spot on. This is a good song choice for you guys. Lead guy nails the falsetto going into the last chorus. Once again excellent production and mix are what I expect from you Mike.

    Song Recovery

    It is your duty as a human being to help thin the herd and thus ensure a more fit society to kill this idiot. When you turn off the VS properly it prompts you if you want to save. So if he did the shutdown right he would have had to tell it yes or no. I'm sure he just hit the power button...

    Any cakewalk user with controler surface?

    I'm using Windows XP with Sonar 2.1. Hopefully it will arrive within a week or so. I have a session Monday night and it would be great to have it by then (fat chance). If anyone has documentation or a good link, that'd be great. BTW, another one just hit Ebay today.

    Any cakewalk user with controler surface?

    Why, you ungrateful SOB :D .... I try to use mine but it really lags. I don't know if it's latency or what, but the movements are delayed causing the envelopes to be behind. Moskus, this is great news. That Behringer thingy will go for $259 suggested retail, which means Guitar Center will...

    a program/plugin that can tell you what key a song is in?

    You win nothing. Just like your Yankees last night ;) But you are correct AFAIK. The point I was trying to make was that I've heard people debate this. 'A' is the answer, but one guy I know, a guitar teacher by trade and a Berklee grad tried to argue it was in E because it starts and ends on...

    What key is Roy Orbison's Pretty Woman in?

    Sonar Won't Playback Unless Armed for Recording

    Just a thought. Make sure your recording window is set to Overwrite or Sound on Sound and not Auto Punch.

    Yorkville YSM-1p's monitors price and ?

    I got mine thru Gear1music.com. They were about $450 for the pair. They definitely are an improvement over the stereo speakers I used to use and sound better than the KRK's and Maudios I listened to at Guitar Center......BUT! at certain frequencies something buzzes in them that drives me crazy...

    Compression and Phase Distortion

    Thanks Ethan. I think I already downloaded this some time ago but it bears another look. Understanding the content intellectually and actaully applying the theory are worlds apart unless you can actually hear it and I think I'm starting to do that.

    Compression and Phase Distortion

    So I'm hearing "Compression can cause phase distortion. If you have a DAW, use fader automation to tame your levels, etc." Well my attitude towards compression, (and this is mostly with plugins in Sonar as I don't have a decent hardware comp), has been if you don't know how to use a tool, then...

    Adat Xt

    Thanks for the info, my fellow Stankee-hater!! I'll probably see him tomorrow night and get the skinny.

    Adat Xt

    I'm considering buying an ADAT thinking it's a good way to do a quick and dirty demo, then fly the tracks into Sonar either analog thru my Delta 1010s or get the lightpipe add-on for the Delta. I have a guy that wants to get rid of an ADAT. He owes me for some studio time. I don't know what...

    Monster Intercontinental Collaboration :)

    Damn, Jagular can sing, can't he? Lt Bob, dude, you rock. Good bass. Is it real? If so, who? Never mind, I forgot you don't know.:D

    You May Have Heard This...

    Drums, especially the rack tom, backing vox and rhythm guitars rule here. Bass cut thru nicely, too. Nice lead vox, but a little thin-sounding. HevyD, nice melodic solo. I would have preferred a Hevy-er tone. I know it's a country ballad, but raunch works. This is truly nit-picking on my part...

    The Dachays and me

    Like the Dachays, my signal chain went through a Mackie mixer, a Delta-1010 sound card and Sonar. I recorded the drums with seven mics. The two rack toms and the snare were Sm-57's. The overheads were Marshall MXL-603's. Sennheiser 421 on floor tom and a Shure Beta-52 on the kick. I didn't need...

    The Dachays and me

    Well, the arrangement is Chicago's. We just listened and figured out our parts. As for the mixing, that's Dachay2tnr. Now that's setting the bar. Hate to admit that to a Yankee fan....;)

    The Dachays and me

    Dachay2tnr and I have collaborated on Chicago's "Does Anybody Really Know What Time it is?" It's here. Under XP I only had to click on it. http://home.comcast.net/~jcaporaso/music/ All vocals are the Dachays. I played trumpet and bass guitar. My friends did drums, sax and keys. The keyboard...
