    How's my new site?

    Now that you metnion it, the orange might have been a bit red though it did not come through very red. My noitor is a Mac flat panel 17" so I con'nt think there is anything wrong with it. More importantl is that you picked up on the main point which was that the basic theme may be a bit too dark...

    How's my new site?

    Probably the demo is the most important part, I guess. So, the computer/game sounds were strong, some of the other sounds like the quasi Jazz or society type stuff, I don't know. Did you consider maybe something a bit more in the mordern vain. The funk type stuff at the front was good. Just...

    Firing band member/co-writer, Copyright issues?

    Donkey & Sj are referring to mechanical royalties, however SJ grings up another good point in the partnership issue. That opens up other contract issues that could effect the disposition of the whole thing. If the drummer is a partner, then you could say that his work of contribution was to the...

    Cables count

    Do cables make an obvious difference? That is either debatable or debated or something like that....My vote would be go with the fast women. Buy fancy cables when your older and don't care so much about fast women.

    Microphone Preamp or Mixer

    What about that digimax thing or whatever it is. In fact, there are a few companies that make these eight channel pre-amps that are designed for just what you need. That is to go with a computer interface and frankly, they are not hard to find.

    really nice pianos

    Smething interesting from my above referenced visit to Steinway's showroom were the comments from the salesperson and I would wonder what others think about these words of wisdom. Whereas vintage instruments are a well known phenomenon, the Steinway rep indicated that purchasing an older piano...

    Hold me

    Yeah, the unemployment roles are growing at an alarming rate. I consider myself lucky, sefl-employed. It is not for everyone. Along with the benefits come the burdens. It's all you, you have to pay the bills, the salaries (if any) etc. When the money comes in its great, when it does not, its...

    How about some of those credits. conferences and books!!! Anyone with enough ambition can make a conference or book or whatever. The real truth is that there is not that much room in the music business for all the people with amtitions to be there. Many of them lakc the talent to be sure. But...

    Music for Porn Movies - Would you do it?

    How many pron movies use exrpessly cmposed music. It seems they simply use program stuff and tat is the end of it. And, I am not expert but, does the composer actually get credits. I guess they do. So the questions is, when the Feds bust the operation, are you part of it? It seems the ocmposer...

    The Business End

    You do not need a contract if people are simply hiring your stdio. in such a case they own the master tape becuase the PAID for it. You have absolutely no rights in that tape. If, however, you are the producer of that recording, that is a different story. If you are the producer, you will for...

    I cry for the keys gone by...

    I recall reading an article that specifically said that they stopped making the "Fender Rhodes" when the company became simply "Rhodes". As I recall, there was no mention of the Fender Rhodes and Rhodes being made at the same time. Where did you get that information, I would be interested in...

    I cry for the keys gone by...

    Carl makes a good point. Times change, I change, sounds change, moving, changing, growing, I guess that is part of what it is all about.
