    For anyone interested...

    Well Mark. Yet again I tried to listen to one of your demos but again every 5-10 seconds I got to hear about a minute was spent buffering. It must be my computer. I liked the birds at the beginning, LOL. I'll see if I have time to try again later.

    Is it the engineering, or the drums?

    Or buy an electronic kit an let the module do all of the work (room, tuning, mics problems sorted). For those who don't play drums primarily and are on a budget.

    Increasing Guitar Sustain

    Fernandes make those sustaining guitars. The Edge of U2 used to use an EBow for 'with or without you' until he got wise to the fact that if you have the money, why hold something when the guitar can do it for you; so he bought 3 or 4 I think it is. Check them out at...

    I Got My New EJ-200!!!

    Is there a question in there Buck62? Waiting two months for a guitar, not for me. I have never ordered one as I'm afraid I'll end up with a bad one. It's even nicer when you have 4 acoustics.

    Gibson in stores

    I have three moderate sized guitar shops in my area. They have a very small stock of Gibsons that have remained virtually unchanged in the last few years. I get pretty much the same feedback from the guys who work there. I also wanted to check out some 'real' SG's, only to be told that you'll...

    DAW..Roland vs Korg

    One thing I can say is that Korg have a shite customer support service (service; that's a laugh). I have a D16 and I was really pleased with it until it crashed for no reason a month after the warranty expired (and they don't offer extended warranties (I wonder why). After I had to spend hours...

    Standard levels?

    Yes the DM5 has to main outs and two aux outs. One more question. You can tune the pads -4 to +3. Should you generally set the kit up to the same level? I'll try and also get a digital camera so I can take a picture of my electronic kit I custom made. It has 12 pads; snare 12 inch, 5 8 inch...

    Pretzel finger problem.

    records4u; Just out of interest, I don't get how that works. I know what your suggesting and how to do it but surely the problem is with the neck being to 'fat', not the distance of strings apart from eachother; unless you play strictly without the thumb over the neck. But I guess I'm asking...

    Standard levels?

    Hi, As you may see from another post, I own a DM5. As I'm not a drummer primarily. Is there any standard(ish) guide to volumes for different pads/sounds. ie. what volume would you assign to the following, relative to eachother (0-99 Possible): -Kick -Snare -Toms -Cymbals -Hat(open/closed)...

    song writing books

    Gidge; If it works for you, good luck and keep buying those books. I'm not trying to put a 'downer' on these kind of books, it's just that there not for me. I'll listen out for the plug for home recording on guitar mania, Krystof.

    Alesis DM5 problem

    Hi, The trigger (number 5) doesn't work on my DM5. I've checked the levels and tried various pads but it deffinatley is the trigger that doesn't receive data. Any ideas of what it could be/how to remidy this? Thanks, Krystof.

    song writing books

    Gidge, thta's my point about the internet. You can obtain all more than enough material that will give you the basic structures of a song and detailed analysis of each section, coupled with does and dont's-that's all free. Why then would you want to buy a book that gives you a very narrow...

    Pickup advice

    Pretzel finger problem.

    Regarding the metronome Like I said when I rasied the subject of the metronome; I've not had one long. I bought really to play slow as I can fast. When warming up there is a tendancy to get ahead of yourself and leave the slower stuff. The metronome applies disciplione. What you may think...

    Pretzel finger problem.

    Buy a metronome and build up your speed and dexterity gradually. Don't get ahead of yourself. Use all four fingers (too many people leave the pinky out). Work chromatically at first and gradually move into scales and take it from there. I'm not assuming your a begginer but to go back to the...

    POD/J-station with fx pedals

    I've got a POD pro. I often put a boss sd-1 or ibanez tubescreamer in front of it for some boost. I'm not into distortion as such, I use it as I said to boost the signal and at the same time include the characteristics of the pedal. I do have a big muff but I can't recall using it infront of...
