j station news

[flash2ace]

well i gott my midi part of my j station hooked up and damn if it aint cool. the j edit is realy cool and ive gott plenty of time to mess with it being i just gott my second carpal tunnel surgery done on my wright hand and being that i play guitar this sucks. im playing with the bandage on my hand lol. anyway back to the j. i found some cool tweaks for the rectifier amp that has a definate dream theaterish tone to it. so if you have a j station and like dream theatre it can be achieved or maybe im just going deaf as well as cripled. if anyone wants the settings just email me , flash2ace@yahoo.com

J-edit rocks! Makes everything faster and easier.

ok...I've never done this...nor with the POD. I need to do this right?? It becomes a new stompbox??

Listen, the J-Station is a doorstop until you use it with J-Edit.

mix it made the difference of night and day with my j, i had version 1.5 on it when i bought it and i installed 2.0 and wow what a difference it made and just the fact of how easy the interface is with j edit makes this one mean sounding machine. i love the custom rectifier sounds you can get trhu j edit. i know the j will never replace a good miched amp but damn does it come close for being in such a small case. and j edit just lets you dial it in with ease to your own likings. if you havnt tried it do yourself the favor and open up a whole new world of possibilities. i just cant believe how easy they made this. is the pod this easy to edit patches and create your own and does it have this much goodies in it? just curious. thanks for responses guys. tim pate

What I find amazing is the speed with which you can change stuff, aside from all the settings it's virtually impossible to even find without the program. Things like the cabinet models and the reverb variations.

Everything is right there in front of you and you can adjust it as fast as you can move your mouse.

ah...yeah...the j-edit IS handy.

boy those drag and drop drum beats sure sound like a drum machine to me, though.

So what if it does. It keeps time and drummers are hard to come by.

yeah im using drop and drag drummer and im finding it realy easy to use. heck i think the sounds sound at least as good as my keyboard and a hell of a lot easier on my wrist and hands trying to keep them in time.i cant wait to get my new song done been working on it for like 5 days now lol, ive definately implemented the new rectifier sounds in it and man do they track clean and with no noise at all, my damn zoom was so noisy compared to my j station. thanks for posting guys. have a good one and as i am im sure you guys have had all the 911 victims from last year weighing your heart down to, it hit me realy hard when i watched the little girl on cnn read a poem for her dad who perished in the terrible tragedy when the twins fell. we should all do a song and make a cd for the familys who suffered such a loss from what happened. if anyone else shares in this idea or likes it let me know thanks guys have a great day i gotta go to work. tim pate

I haven't heard that drummer joke....that was a good one Now...if I can only get the duct tape of my Les Paul where I taped my mouse to it...I put a little too much over the scroll wheel...bummer.

My point is that it can be hard to find dedicated people to work with. I'd rather work with a live drummer, however if I can't find one then a machine is the only option. If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it.

 

[mixmkr]

easy boy, easy....I'm on your side too!!...

I can say "drummers are bummers..." but I won't

My point was that I was hoping for more realistic sounding drums, as ALL my drum machines (and I've got a bunch)...all sound like drum machines...go figure!!... I actually prefer drum machines over a live drum, most of the time. Easier to get a better sound FASTER, and I like the "straightness" of the beat...against the grain of most thinking. The toms where the big offenders in the drag and drop, I thought.. The others where quite acceptable.

btw...I am still diggin' the J-edit. Was worth getting the box down out of the closet.

peace...

You know, I use fruity loops to program drum patterns, but I took the samples from drag & drop drummer. One or two people notice that it's not a "real" drummer, but it's those people with really big ears that also say things like "those old 78s that my grandma has sound better that CDs."

Keep talking like that and you're going to have to teach me how to use all this. Getting drum tracks down has been my big stumblingblock since I started trying to do digital recording.

I also record my own bass samples to use sometimes.

the best option is these pro loop CDs in the style of your choice and put them together with Acid......expensive as hell, but you get GREAT drum tracks and dont have to deal with a d.a.d. (dumb ass drummer)......

 

[Gidge]

of course, that is meant for the non drummer.....

for the drummer who just cant get a good drum sound recorded, use of the Voxvendor technique prevails....kick and snare done with samples/drum machine with live cymbals....sounds awesome.....
