I agree, to a point. Though it never kicks in, I think it works like that. It's like a sustained perch on a cliff -- like we're teetering on the edge the whole time. I could hear this at a rave. THis is a very cool, very well-done song. I do fully agree, though, that it needs something...

Darn kids ;) Tell 'em to give you a few more minutes. Though clean, the vocals FEEL forced -- like you were definitely rushing. The overall mix is sharp and clean and all that, but I'm not feeling the singing. Almost as if your mind was somewhere else. I know that sounds corny/cheesy, but...

Cool! It's nice to hear something other than classic/hard rock. Just what I needed on a friggin' cold Saturday morning. I think the bass is too quiet. The sax is killer, but the bass gets drowned out. I like bass, so I'm biased. Also, the bass could have more punch to it. It sounds a...

Sweet Thing -- I don't have a problem with the direct guitar. I think it sounds fine. I'm not a perfectionist. However, the song kinda gets old after awhile. Do you have any old lyrics lying around? It'd be neat to hear something sung over this. Maybe a female singer? WYWH -- I'm not...

Almost Drowning -- I really like this one. There's a groove that's easy to fall into. The chorus is the weak link -- it doesn't have the punch that the verses do. Arrangement-wise, that is. Just a Game feels forced. I'm not sure why, but it feels as if the vocals, the playing, etc --...

Hey all, Thanks for checking this out. I know the mix is rough. I guess I'm more curious about your thoughts on the lyrics/song structure. Nobody's perfect -- how boring would that be? ;) http://www.geocities.com/gmiller1122/

I like it. It reminds me of my high school band, too. I agree with the others. It could be half as long and it needs a chorus. Just a slight shift in chords. This will also force your singer to play around with other melodies. Keep having fun. G

Hey, Sam -- Thanks for a cool listen. It seems to be a unique mix of jazz, pop, muzak, and a movie soundtrack. I agree with kjam -- the drums are the weakest part. But, the mood, though shifting, is seamless. Very nice work. G

I really enjoyed these songs. I like My Shawty the best. The keys in the background give it a cool, dark sound. The chorus is the only part that's lacking -- kinda boring. I'm not really into this type of music, but I completely appreciate the mix -- very clean and crisp. I also respect...

Thanks, PJ So, you use the USB for the transferring?

I'm curious -- Can you tell me your exact set-up/process for transferring info from the MR8 to your PC? Thanks.

Thanks, Dave. Boy, that ain't much, is it? I'm assuming, then, that you either buy a lot of 128 cards (not very practical!) or you fill it up, transfer it to PC, and re-use indefinitely. On the same note, a unit like the VF160 with the 20 gig hard drive -- that's like 150 songs of 5-6 tracks...

Thanks, Phil.

Some units come with the 128 MB flash card -- I've heard this is around 60 mins. BUT, does that include all tracks? That is, if you have 5 tracks at 5 mins. each, that's 25 minutes -- so will a 128 MB card only hold two simple songs? OR do the tracks get saved on a hard drive, THEN you mix...

Dave, How do you connect the mixer to the pc? Do you use the standard soundcard and the 1/8 input? Thanks, G

Hey, all -- I was reading that some units have "coaxial S/PDIF output" -- what's that for exactly? Is this another way to mix tracks down to a PC program like nTrack? (besides using the stereo outputs) Thanks. G

Many thanks, guys. This helps a lot. a12, this is very clear -- I appreciate it. It reminds me of having 20 baseball players, but only 9 can be in the lineup at one time. (I hope that's a decent analogy). I do like the idea of having more real tracks, but, jeesh, the price tag is getting...

sae, kinda makes sense, but I'm confused. Don't all usb thingys claim to have zero latency monitoring? Also, why is the us-122 only usb 1.1? Is it old? G

Thanks...yup, I got 2.0. But I've been reading some bad things about the USB connection hardware. Seems lots of folks have problems with latency, etc. Then I considered firewire, but that means I'd need to install it via PCI, and that ain't happening. I'm now leaning toward a digital...

Do all pc's have firewire inputs? I see some extra 'holes' in the back of the pc, but aren't sure what they're for! I've read that firewire is more stable, too. Hmmm....decisions, decisions.... :rolleyes:
