bcains, I like gibson, they make the best guitars. But they also have a great marketing department. If you don't have at least 1,400 US dollars to spend on a Gibson, then don't. It is that beautiful carved Maple top that gives those hot 500t's a particular tone. For the money you're talking...

Circle of 5ths Wireneck! Isn't theory cool? Travisin FL was correct, the Aeolian mode and the Minor scale are the same. Once you understand the relationship between keys and their relative minors, chord progressions will be the futherest thing from your mind. However, in your case, it's...

Easto, I'm sure there are a bunch out there, maybe pod has one. But I'm sure it won't compare to the real thing. I ran across one for sale in Green Bay at a big music shop. I thought it was cool, but not useful. The owner said it was a trade in from a keyboardist. Good luck hunting.

Yank! I like it. I like the flow. I think rap writing has its pros and cons. I'd like to see you slow it down even more...I think we're going toward a new era in music. When a ring tone hits No.1 in England...maybe we shouldn't be writing lyrics at all....??? Screw it! Keep writing, but...

Total! I'd go with something that always functions well. Maybe, Acid. I've know a drummer that uses that for live drum records.. and it sounds nice. Although once you understand and setup a midi interface with a synth...you could get some incredible sounds. But me..yeah I love the live...

There was a time when I relied on only my ear and tab to help me understand musical relationships. I have since kicked myself in the *ss everyday for not studying music theory. In my reading I have come across a college online course that breaks down music in a very digestable way. Oh, did I...

If you're going to throw a signal into a sound card I would run it through a board first. I have a Peavey 12 channel live board I picked up in a pawn shop for around $100 bucks. It makes a world of difference. Once you start computer recording you'll want to add stuff, lol. Being able to...

I picked up a Roland D-5 a year or so off of Ebay, for like $120 total. It's linear and you can change perameters. The presets sound so good I haven't messed with them at all. It's of course stereo outputs and MIDI, but thats just my two cents, lol. Theses new ones today though are just mind...

I'd Go PC, you'll still want to do some type of editing. Whether it be pitch, slide or any thought you think up, you can do with much of the software out there. I started out with Cakewalk, and used it for awhile. But I'd want to dedicate a computer for a DAW. If you have that kind of...

To be fair, the latency your talking about it is: the time that elapses between a hardware device issuing a hardware interrupt, and the time the process that deals with it is ran. It has more to do with interrupts than soundcards. I have just purchased a dual processor and will be using a...

After some reading....and a lot of it, I'm going to use Red Hat 9 and download CCRMA's APT's. They have a low latency kernel and a low latency patch. Along with tons of all sorts of audio goodies. Among their package collections; Rosegarden, Lilypond, Ardour, And Audicity. Plus it's Stanford...

I'm still reading....but the more I read, the more I like Tux. I'm choosing Linux 'cause it's not bloated, like xp and os. The track you record would be 'live', right? It wouldn't have to be buffered or sync'd? Man, Clapton had it all! Or are all the big distributions bloated big time...

Thanks for the replies! I'm leaning towards the Agnula dist. I've got a pent3 with nothing on it so Linux sounds like a cool side project. Audacity looks easy to navigate. It's time to cross over to the Dark Side, lol.

Just wanted to see If anyone records using a Linux OS and some of their distributions. Seems logical, haven't read up on it yet. I've heard that some big studios and productions companies use Linux 'cause it's easier to convert SGI to linux than to mac or wind. That and it's free...Nothing...

Do it Fender Celler, I'd try and find a Fender tube amp. Twin Reverb is good, Princeton would be nice, but it's expensive. I picked up a '68 Fender Bandmaster for a couple hundred bucks. It's one of the cleanest amps I've played through. For distortion, I use a boss with a wah pedal. I...

Cirlcle of 5ths My suggestion is to memorize the cirlce of 5ths. Once you understand the relationship between keys and their relative minors, chord progressions will be the futherest thing from your mind.
