The two most common barre chord voicing are: root-fifth-octave-third-fifth-octave (the "E" voicing) and root-fifth-octave-third-fifth (the "A" voicing)

Hey man, I would not be the man I am today without "Hungry like the wolf". But let's be fair; if you're going to compare 60's artists to 80's artists, at least pick some respectable artists from the 80's. Howabout the Police, U2, Metallica, Van Halen, Prince, The Cure, or REM? Although, if...

Well, I'm not hip on the latest in classical recording, but in my limited experience you don't want to close mic it, especially when it' only a few musicians and you've got a good acoustic space. Someone else can be more detailed, but roughly I'd say you want a decent stereo pair or just a...

I always liked the way a tele layered with a les paul sounds. You can get the beef from the lp and the shimmer from the tele. Of course that's if you like the layered wall of sound type of guitars. I find it makes a nicer counterpoint to the lp than a strat does, but that's just me. I think...

Agreed; most young players crank the bass and kill the mids. When you actually play in a band with bass and drums, your guitar tone gets lost. I used to engineer at a club that hosted mainly high school bands, and I dealt with this all the time. The worst part is that the guitar player's...

I think I've always just put press kits in 9x12 manila envelopes, nothing fancy. Of course we were always poor...

I've been trying off and on to set up a linux DAW for a while, but something always shuts me down, usually JACK. I've tried Agnula and Dyne:bolic, but had driver issues with them. I use linux (Mepis, to be precise) for other tasks, I just think in all honesty it's still not there on the audio...

You've pretty much got the idea, Robert; I was gonna direct to you my little article on writing a bio, but you've got that in the bag it seems. Just step back and remember that this is not a checklist, nobody gets these things and expects a laundry list of contents. You're sending them this...

Maybe you should get more specific about what you want to implement and how. And how much do you know (or are willing to learn) about web development (php, javascript, etc)? I mean, the most basic thing you can do is fill a folder on your website full of audio, then post a link to an m3u file...

I'm using a cheap host called bananic.com; it was like $40 for a year of hosting and domain name registration. Pretty reasonable amount of bandwidth and storage space. Plus they have support for pretty much any file type you want, cgi stuff, SQL, etc. Of course, you do have to design the site...

Personally I wouldn't charge more that $10 for a home-pressed CD. I don't see $8 as ridiculously low, it's probably about as low as I'd got for a full length CD (but 9 songs may not be full length, depending on how long your songs are). The best thing to do is start at $10. If you feel people...

cool. Score 1 for the chykyn. :)

I could give you my opinion, but wouldn't you be better off just emailing the company and finding out from the source? My guess (giving the company the benefit of the doubt) is that the first part you quoted means that you can use the samples for songs, but you can't just redistribute the...

Well, I found out my web host doesn't support php mailing so I gave up for now... :( Actually, I just want to get my site more built up and in order before putting a mailing list together.

try a different cable for sure, but if you can try a different keyboard I'd do that too. Casio isn't exactly known for rock-solid performance.

Why does this thread keep jumping to the top?

I listened to "goodbye". I thought it was an instrumental piece until about halfway through I think I barely heard a vocal mixed in there somewhere.

Well, I'm no expert, but I'd say that's a pretty sweet guitar tone. You make me want to break my POD.

Yeah seriously; copy protection has a tendency to tick people off, that's the last thing you want to do as an indy.

I'm on dialup at the moment, so I can't get the song, but looking at the site I'd say the biggest problem is that if someone resizes the text it's hosed. I generally browse with my text size set to "larger" because my monitor stinks. Try it with yours and see what you get. That's the problem...
