All navigates fine here on chrome. The 'What' page opens ok and the Video appears on the right hand side. Uncomplicated site, however the Video clip don't come across well. Very dark and doomy. Always good to have good media floating around a site to keep the interest flowing. After all, you are in the business of entertaining. Good luck with the site, just needs a bit of tinkering. Garry

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1370983129' post='2108364'] I'm guessing he's the singer and hence carried no equipment, allowing for his more upright stance. Lightweight [/quote] In those days, the lightweight singers who carried no equipment, compensated with a Cucumber wrapped in tin foil, and stuffed down their trouser legs - played havoc with Airport security.

[quote name='Pete Academy' timestamp='1370980936' post='2108326'] I've just been watching the funk series. Henry Thomas is a great player, and I love his Westone Thunder III slung high up under his chin. His slap bass lesson is classic...thumb, pluck, then professional standard riffs. [/quote] This one as well. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rGbIoii9A-4#!"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rGbIoii9A-4#![/url] Yep, it was a fun series. Garry

Interesting Video [French TV ?] Producer holds up the 'Scream' board for the first chorus. Then forgets the second chorus....nothing.... Or maybe they were all changing knickers at the time. All good fun.......[Love the ending] Garry

[quote name='steve' timestamp='1370943793' post='2107662'] All the theory is telling us is whether it conforms to the tonality of Fmajor, [b]you ear tells you it sounds good (or not, but in this case IMHO it sounds very nice)[/b]. If it was a D minor chord, played in that inversion, you would have an F natural, but substituing the F# gives voice leading in the chord roots of F, F# (in D maj triad) to G assuming the other chords are in root position. [/quote] Indeed, if you move on from just triads or Root chords, things start to open up That second chord of 'D' could become D/F# bass.... or...F# dim/D bass [D7-9] or....D7-9/F# Bass. Garry

I just download the Video with Real Player free. Import the Video file complete with audio file into my DAW. Delete the Video file, then tidy up/trim the Audio file by getting rid of any mess at the start and end. Bring up the volume if needed, then just export. Garry

[quote name='steve-bbb' timestamp='1370780374' post='2105383'] great stuff all genuine and spontaneous nothing contrived or staged at all [/quote] Maybe.............

Seems there is a use for Viola players after all. Not sure she will ever get another TV gig again though........ [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jhN2d9zRoU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jhN2d9zRoU[/url] Garry

Keep it simple [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH81RJtakRU"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH81RJtakRU[/url] Garry

I noticed some action Cinematic tracks up on that site................... A whole new ball game as far as panaramic sound staging, width, height and depth are concerned. Not carving out loads of bottom end, and very careful use of panning, comps and eq's, while still keeping a multitude of dynamics, and Orchestral Instrument placement very much still intact...... Garry

[quote name='Hobbayne' timestamp='1370697137' post='2104527'] " why are you only playing the bass?" [/quote] Well they had a point.... [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/bassonemanband.jpg/][IMG]http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/9977/bassonemanband.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Garry

Lalo Shiffrin is an amazing composer, all those cop themes and scores had so much intrigue in the music, with his Jazz back ground certainly shining through. He could plot and score to the picture with so much ease.

Welcome Yolanda - You will have a good time here... Garry

Ahhhh... Mr Dudley P. Top player. [I remember him using a Ken Smith 6 in the early 90's] Plays fine Upright as well these days. Garry

Mr Blunt now has his name in the good old cockney rhyming slang book................ After necking a few sherbats, that Mozart geezer could be a right old James. Garry

A ton of tutorials for all the major DAWS. DAW vendor list is on the right hand side. [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/articles/Cubase.php"]http://www.soundonsound.com/articles/Cubase.php[/url] Garry

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1370214885' post='2097782'] Cheers for that one I will have a look [/quote] And there is more here - In fact for most DAWS. [url="http://www.soundonsound.com/sonar"]http://www.soundonsound.com/sonar[/url] Garry

Pretty much what ther others above have said. Lobematt - A nice little site here regarding changes and scales/modes. [url="http://www.jazzcenter.org/index.htm?http://www.jazzcenter.org/cw-jrc/scales.htm"]http://www.jazzcenter.org/index.htm?http://www.jazzcenter.org/cw-jrc/scales.htm[/url] Garry

Money - lots of it.

Voted for Kit - although i thought the Corinna Jane track was good as well [rather odd drum track though] Not keen on that Craig fellows tune - It just meanders away into a doomsday offering of nothing [Just my opinion of course] Good luck with the voting. Garry

[quote name='Stephen Houghton' timestamp='1370125779' post='2096843'] Sorry for late reply not seen this one till now, yeah its the Sonar x2 producer version, its a great DAW with some really great effects and stuff, still just learning the basics. One thing that is doing my head in is I cannot figure out how to rewire Reason into it, its the Droctorex drum machine in Reason that's the problem. I will suss it in the end as I really like it as its simple and easy to add fills and stuff where required. Apart from that its great! [/quote] There is a really useful Sonar/Cakewalk tutorial channel up on Youtube now, well worth checking out.

Well done Skol, good one..! Plenty of good stuff around this month. Garry

Great free echo for Dub things by Valhalla [The Valhalla room reverb they do is exellent]. Echo [url="http://www.valhalladsp.com/valhallafreqecho"]http://www.valhalladsp.com/valhallafreqecho[/url] Garry

[quote name='jakenewmanbass' timestamp='1369998564' post='2095332'] NIce one Garry, I spotted this too. Unusual to see this being done like auditions... perhaps they see that they can avoid a fixers fee? I'm sure they'll be inundated. [/quote] It is unusual Jake, but does happen on the odd occasion if the band will be on stage. And as you say, possibly the fixing fee as well. Garry
