    Fruityloops: Arranging patterns on playlist

    just looking at it without loading any samples of my own, i think you've messed it up a bit by using beats per bar that aren't divisible by 2/4

    Reviews haven't been all that helpful, can someone summarize the difference between these guitars in the RG series and which ones go for higher prices? 7321 7420/7421 7620/7621 the 7321 seems to be the latest model, but i hear people favouring the 7620..

    Importing guitars (USA -> AUS)

    Importing guitars (USA -> AUS)

    that's according to music123.com i probably should verify that now that you mention... although it cost me $9.50 to have a book sent here... and when i think about the book, a guitar really would be close to 8-9 of them in space/volume.. i think the whole point of this exercise would be to...

    Importing guitars (USA -> AUS)

    I've asked this on forums but not really gotten any solid figures.. I'm looking for an Ibanez RG7321, which aren't exactly in abundance on Australian shores. The lowest price i've found is AUS$786 + maybe shipping, which got me looking to overseas where they retail on average for us$380 +...

    7-string or baritone?

    depending on how adventurous you are with tunings,.. i've been looking at 7 strings lately myself. embaressingly i just had to google the baritone to find out what it was. I'd rather keep the range that the 7 string has, unless you're paranoid of being labelled a nu-metal kiddie or something :D

    Music theory must-read books?

    one month later Siegmeister's Harmony & Melody in two vols finally turned up. I'm only a chapter into it and very impressed. (as soon as the schoenberg namedropping began i was sold :( ) it's incredibly readible and the examples given aren't over-embellishing.. book isn't in too bad shape...

    Music theory must-read books?

    thanks for the advice, Jazz always has interested me from afar. Miles Davis was a TRUE musician. You know i really bogged myself down a year or so ago with theory, then i went over all the bizarre electronic music i made when i couldn't even tell you where the C key was on a piano, and found...

    Music theory must-read books?

    I think if they had any intelligence they'd know to avoid a good majority of human music :D I guess it's ultimately upto the individual, but sometimes i find myself utterly sickened by the boring nature of these rules in place, which have slowly been shelved anyway...

    Music theory must-read books?

    Hi there, this seemed like the best forum to shove this in. I'm looking for some suggestions for some must have books related to music theory. I'm specifically looking for books that go above and beyond the same old major theory & cliche progressions, and delve into how resolutions and such...

    How to get this sound?

    Hey there people, a bit of a guitar newbie here.. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what amp/FX are best used to replicate the guitar tone in the following clip.. the song is 'A Darkness Coming' by Katatonia. http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0R2QFUACA4Y8P1569PULFZA6EU (the lead on the...

    Do Lyrics Even Matter?

    Melody can be catchy for certain reasons. Lyrics can be catchy for certain reasons. It's completely circumstantial, although I do think it's a more refined skill to be able to write good lyrics. Sometimes i've been listening to a song I found to be rather benign, then i hear one line of words...

    Your thoughts on melodies and chords

    Sounds like you need to sit down with your instrument and do a bit of voice tuning. Just play around a bit until you can confidently transpose what you're singing onto a guitar/piano/whatever and you'll probably have an idea at least of what key you're singing in. and if you find conventional...

    Top 10 Reasons Demos Are Rejected...

    Ashlee Simpson & Hip Hop I rest my case :D As far as self producing goes, you have to give it up for Loreena McKennitt.. she did the logical thing and became damn successful from it. I think people dwelling on the hope of getting some sort of 'mythical' be-all music contract are living in...
