[quote name='silddx' timestamp='1353698485' post='1877687'] Very nice indeed Garry! Lovely production too. [/quote] Thanks mate - just had a listen to your track, some great ideas there and well played. I like the mini opera idea. good stuff. [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1353701019' post='1877725'] Out of interest where do you get your sounds from? They're ace. [/quote] I tend to use Kontakt 5 and it's library, plus some add on lib's from Project Sam [Symphobia, Symphobia 2 & True Strike] Pop/Jazz brass is Quantum Leap Brass for Kontakt. For Drums and Percussion, all done in Stylus RMX [which is a great bit of software - ton's of expansions for it at reasonable prices] Synth wise [Just 2 main] Cakewalk Z3TA and Omnisphere, Another interesting track from you Skol, you come up with some great ideas. I have only listened to yours and Nigel's, and both are great takes on 'those' pictures. Will listen to everyone's tracks once they are all linked together. Garry

[quote name='~tl' timestamp='1353353501' post='1874175'] Apple are now primarily selling their software through the Mac App Store. Your best bet would be to buy it from there, as it is a lot cheaper than any boxed version. The current version of Logic Pro is £140 plus £21 for MainStage (if you want that). [url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/logic-pro/id459578486?mt=12"]https://itunes.apple...459578486?mt=12[/url] [url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/mainstage/id459585276?mt=12"]https://itunes.apple...459585276?mt=12[/url] I don't think that they do upgrade pricing any more, so I wouldn't bother with an older version. They have also discontinued the cut down Express version. [/quote] http://basschat.co.uk/topic/192336-buying-logic-which-one/page__view__findpost__p__1874090 Garry

Logic Pro 9.1.8 download is half the price [or a least a lot cheaper] of boxed version. about $200.00 Good deal if you after LP9. Extra $30.00 for Mainstage. What you get.

For any Reaper Fanboi's............... Very nice looking skin here. Enjoy. http://www.houseofwhitetie.com/reaper/imperial/wt_imperial.html Garry

I have to say that Reaper is pretty Impressive how it is constantly updating at a fast rate, and listing to it's forum customers regarding future improvements. Garry

I suppose it's about what your needs are. For me I need a MIDI score/notation editor as well as extensive PRV editing. Be able to move video clips any where on the time line [And work properly] and VST3 MIDI expression plus some other MIDI stuff not in Reaper. I have tried Reaper, and yep it's great, but does not do the above for my needs. None of this is really helpful for the OP though. Garry

[quote name='RockfordStone' timestamp='1353071664' post='1871242'] i use an old version of cubase, if i was to buy a new version it would cost me 700 quid, unless you are a pro studio you just can't afford that [/quote] Cubase 6.5 you can get for just over £400.00 Cubase 6.5 Artist for about £230.00 [Plenty of features] Nuendo of course is another matter.

Why render to Mp3 to import into Soundcloud ? [For this Competition] Soundcloud accepts Wav files. Garry

Great stuff Phil - Nice and solid, and consistent Intonation as well. Well played. Garry

Any one using this - And first Impressions ? With Sibelius up in the air, and Steinberg hiring the ex Sib founders, things might take a while to settle down. So i am starting to look elsewhere, possibly Finale. But this looks real cool, Notation [b]and[/b] Sequencer for composing, rather than go back and forth with Midi files, Articulations transferring to MIDI, all looks good. Seven gig sample library [Orchestral & Rock sounds] x64 bit, x64 Rewire host & slave, and weighing in at £83.00 download price. You can add extra sound packs to the Sample Library at about £15.00 ago. I think there are Jazz and Big Band sounds on the way. Details..........

[quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1352510915' post='1864188'] IMNSHO, Faithless neither deserves nor needs the sarcastic distrust that is dripping from your post. Also, have you never seen a broadcasting organisation's orchestra back up a pop singer? Then you need to come out less. Also, "really famous" may well mean "really famous locally, and it's not interesting for you brits to read the name of a Lithuanian pop singer". best, bert [/quote] Agreed. Plenty of Orchestrated backing horn [Trpts/Saxes/Bones] sections over the past 40 years, On hundreds of pop tunes, Even a Trombone solo.

A couple of things here. The Leveling Amp works great, only x32 but works great with any bit bridge or Indeed JBridge., http://www.dreamvortex.co.uk/effects/ Garry

[quote name='Earbrass' timestamp='1352390881' post='1862503'] is there anything that EZ drummer provides that I might find useful? [/quote] The Latin Percussion expansion pack is very useful. You can use individual elements in non Latin tracks. The midi files [And there are loads of them] have a nice swing about them.

[quote name='Kevin Glasgow' timestamp='1352211540' post='1860163'] [font=Helvetica][size=3]I feel that one of the most useful aspects of music notation is that it gives you a 'visual' way of understanding and representing rhythm. [/size][/font] [font=Helvetica][size=3]I've always used visual shapes on the fingerboard to help me learn various basslines, scales, arpeggios, etc. I have found this to be a very easy and natural way to learn this pitch-related information, but when learning the rhythmic side of music I felt that it was less clear and obvious because I didn't have a visual way of understanding it. Music notation gives you clear and simple way of understanding, representing and memorising rhythms.[/size][/font] [/quote] Yep, same for me.

Hey Ellie, you are doing a gig just up the road from me on Wednesday [Haystack] - I might pop in and see the band. Dean Markley SR2000's Stainless Steel Rounds 47/67/87/107 with a custom 135 B string. Fretted & Fretless. Nice and tight, great for finger and slap. Very meaty & Zingy, and last quite a while. Bit pricey, but have been using them for a while and love them. Garry
