lowdown

Tremolo is also rapid playing on a note or notes. String players often use the technique/articulation (Bow going up and down very quickly). Harps/Classical Guitars, Bass etc, it is rapid plucking with the finger(s). The two posters above are right about the misnaming.

Excellent, Sibob. Nice stuff. The Band play well and a very nice singer.

The Gaslight Anthem's,'Miles Davies and the Cool'. Marc Cohen. 'Walking in Memphis'. Although it's about being baptized into the world of the blues, the second verse is about Elvis. Charlie Mingus, 'Goodbye Pork Pie Hat'. About 'Lester Young'. Joni Mitchell later added lyrics to it.

The first 30 seconds, when the audience is in view - Visually, they look like they are clapping on 2&4. Sound wise, I can't hear any clapping. To me there seems to be a sound delay when the audience is singing, possibly, because of the distance they are from the recording mic. It seems to be right next to the Bass and Drums. I am not sure why I am droning on, I couldn't careless what the audience (or AC/DC for that matter) are singing or clapping along to. Just responding to a post (PaulGibsonBass). I think he is great. (Although there are better versions of that tune, with him playing, that are knocking around). Carry on.

[quote name='PaulGibsonBass' timestamp='1482017163' post='3197061'] I don't really get some of the other comments about there being no solid beat though... [/quote] Yes... The Kit player is banging out the Snare (loudly) on 2&4. The audience are all clapping and flapping on 2&4. How solid and easier can it get...

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1482051132' post='3197131'] There's your problem, Dunc. Try sleeping on the bed with everyone, not the settee. Should be more comfortable. [/quote] Beat me to it.

Oscar, Ray and Niels....All soloing (with ease). Serious musicianship from them all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HEtFO9w3Ds For me, there has been so many top performances from the big guns over the years, it's hard to pick out one. This performance from Anthony Jackson still blows me away. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZOCdrwGch4

Haha.... Very cool.

My favourite album by far. (Ennio) Morricone 60.

Excuses, excuses and nothing but excuses. Teach them to sight read as well. All sit down and learn together. Make it a family thing. I dunno....families ain't what they used to be.

This is why EMG's and Bart's were invented. To cater for Musicians who suffer with OCD.

If you like studying 'Scores' from the great Composers, there is a great free resource site called 'IMSLP'. (downloadable PDF's). [url="http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Composers"]http://imslp.org/wik...egory:Composers[/url] A YouTube video on using the site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_hBiUzfU7U

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1481533050' post='3192902'] Reading rhythm isn't hard and I don't see why there should be a binary choice [/quote] If you are reading Rhythms and finding it isn't hard, why not also read the black dots attached ? Just curious really.

[quote name='bazztard' timestamp='1481515032' post='3192821'] I laugh when people claim reading notation is quicker than reading TABs baloney, and here's why reading notation: your brain sees the lil black dot, converts it to a note name, say B. THEN has to convert the note name B to a spot on your fretboard TAB: you brain sees immediately that it's the 2nd fret on the 2nd string, you play it. now tell me again how notation is faster [/quote] Take your little theory to all the great Professional Orchestras of the World. I am sure you are onto something.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1481478260' post='3192572'] Seems you're right. I've double-checked and their policy doesn't allow unlicensed covers; same as YouTube (although in practice you'll find [i]lots[/i] of cover tracks on both...). Basschat can't be seen to endorse breaching other website's terms and conditions. So we'll have to waive all liability regarding where you decide to post your tracks this month! My own [i]personal opinion[/i] would be to:[list] [*]Make your track private, switch off downloads and share a private link instead of a public one. Then delete the track following the competition, burn your computer and nuke the entire site from orbit: it's the only way to be sure. [*]Share your track as a [url="https://www.dropbox.com"]Dropbox[/url] link. [/list] [/quote] Worth noting that Dropbox has a copyright infringement policy. But, for your own personal use, I believe it is ok. https://www.extremetech.com/computing/179495-how-dropbox-knows-youre-a-dirty-pirate-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-cloud-storage-to-share-copyrighted-files Uploading covers of other people's material without permission is always going to be a headache for some, depending on the tune covered. It seems, some tunes attract attention more than others. A shame really, but perfectly understandable.

[quote name='ras52' timestamp='1481396188' post='3192067'] Yet 4/4 used to be known as "imperfect time" - 3/4 was "perfect time". [/quote] Yes, this. http://www.mymusictheory.com/learn-music-theory/reference/347-time-signatures-4-4-or-c Also, a whole genre of music (Cuban, as well as others), is quite often in three and six. (Or implies three and six as the natural feel).

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1481378480' post='3191863'] I'm an expert on the Purple Oboe...... [/quote] Is that harder than the Pink Oboe?

Seeing as that Christmas period is approaching, I thought I would throw this up onto the stage. "Sleigh Ride " in 7/8 - It works well and to me, feels very natural. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZggJNsAuIw

I am a Cubase user for my own stuff (PC), but a company I work for use DP9 (On both Mac and PC), so I have some experience using it. (The key commands differ from Cubase a lot and do fry my brain a bit) But key commands apart, I think it's still easy to navigate around. DP has only been on Windows since version 8 and is not as stable as the Mac version (random crashes), although it is getting there with each update. So worth bearing that in mind. (Specific crashes are over on the motu forum). It has a nice clean interface and the tab system works great. I like the work flow on DP, but that is a personal preference of course. All the Audio side of it is good (as with most DAW's). We do a lot of Midi editing, and the in depth midi editing is very impressive. If you like doing Midi editing using notation as opposed to PRV, or indeed, using both in combination, the DP editor is excellent for that. To me, it really shines in that department. 'Chunks' is also a great feature. Originally, It was aimed at folks who compose music/cues to picture/film etc, because of the extra time lines and ease of video Sync. The facilities for that are excellent. These days, DP fits the whole bill, It has some good Synths and the FX are excellent. The automation lanes are great as well, no where near as cluttered as other DAW's. The midi functions are certainly on the level of Cubase and Logic. Definitely worth downloading the demo and getting stuck in. Quite a few tutorials on YouTube and a few over at the MOTU site that are worth checking out. Don't forget that there are crossgrade deals knocking around for DP, it brings the price down quite a bit. One here, I am sure there are others.

Steinberg have just released Cubase V9. The new zone and tab system has finally arrived, doing away with that old floating windows system (still there if you need it for dual monitors etc).

[quote name='Burrito' timestamp='1481199159' post='3190408'] If you talk to the audience they will talk back. [/quote] Yer, I know what you mean, cheeky gits. Audiences these days have absolutely no respect for Musicians.
