[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1328024837' post='1520469'] Wanted to say that i tried to upload a track to Soundcloud. It was an .mp3 that i had ripped from YouTube - so not great quality. I then EQd the original bass out as much as possible and played a bass track alongside using CUBASE Did a quick mix - exported as an .mp3 and tried to upload to Soundcloud. The upload completed and then there was a scary message, something like, "Soundcloud has detected that this track has copyright" - etc the upshot being that i couldn't upload it. This isn't a whinge as i understand why artists want to copyright stuff - but this is a 30 year old disco track that wasn't very popular when it was released. I have managed to upload (more popular) tracks in the past. Is this something new?[/quote] What you have done in theory [and you are not alone by any means] Is trying to Sync someone else's [published?] Music to your own new project/content etc. [that's the way Soundcloud digital ID will see it anyway] You would have to get [b]'A Master Use'[/b] license from the record company or Music owner[s] On another note Monetization through Youtube is becoming quite a good source of revenue, now that the various performing rights organisations have struck up deals and are collecting from Youtube. So yes its getting tougher to do what you want, although Soundcloud/Youtubes digital ID system is still pretty flawed at the moment. Garry

I have donated to CR [along with many others] And if it sends out the wrong message [to you] so what ? My choice, simple really. [i]Self Employed Musician[/i] [i]Garry[/i]

[quote name='peteb' timestamp='1327946190' post='1519252'] Nice to see that the cup of human kindness is overflowing on this forum once again! [/quote] I agree. Simple really, contribute or don't contribute. Garry

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1327874503' post='1518187'] What on earth is this thread about? [/quote] Glue sniffing i think. In fact BC has gone a bit wobbly today. In another thread that has been locked, Billyapple has offered to drop Happyjack a line. [post #105] Garry

[quote name='steve-soar' timestamp='1327864702' post='1517922'] Wasn't very funny though. [/quote] In theory it should be funny. Over the years, this joke has gone through more key changes than 'Mack the Knife'. Garry

Like that. Well played. Garry

[quote name='fender73' timestamp='1327789775' post='1516947'] I know it's an old thread, but i've just been checking out Mike's playing on youtube and it bought again what a tradegy it is that Mike is no longer playing- an amazing player. Here's hoping he's comfortable and one day will be able to pick up a bass again, or any instrument God Bless Mike P. [/quote] Just bee listening to some old Toto CD's, and i to hope he gets to play again. He has a great feel for Music. Garry

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1327797757' post='1517086'] Wot, no Narada?... fixed! [/quote] Great Bass line on that tune. I have posted it a few times on Basschat, and it never gets any takers.

Lordy Lordy, a comeback tour. Garry

Great Band - love that opening few frames on 'The beat goes on' Garry

[quote name='Marvin' timestamp='1327765147' post='1516470'] The music, good, great bass lines. However, we must consider the 'fashion' of the time. It has been my long held opinion that the clothes one had to wear in the 70's and early 80's has scared a generation [/quote] I was there - i have the wardrobe scars [and a Jazz Bass] to prove it.

[quote name='waynepunkdude' timestamp='1327749322' post='1516125'] Had a promoter go mental at us one for being too loud but we were just glad to get out of there alive. [/quote] Just had a vision of Blues Brothers & Chicken wire. Garry

[quote name='daz' timestamp='1327749048' post='1516121'] Thats probably why he Gaffa tapes his thumb. [/quote] Wrong Guy.... Garry

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1327747885' post='1516097'] Marcus is a legend. The live bass sound is absolutely huge. [/quote] Agreed - i have seen him a few times, and it has always been that. One time in Germany, i was a few feet away from the stage, and was amazed how hard and controlled he was when attacking the strings with his thumb - certainly not afraid to give it some. Garry

[quote name='blackmn90' timestamp='1327743865' post='1516024'] on the subject of slap. Does anybody else find it really difficult to cut through the mix when slapping. Particually when there is 2 guitars playing [/quote] Marcus Miller, world grand meister funk champion of thumb & popping ,and generally attacking the note not tickling it, is the dude to talk to, never a problem for him...ever...

Hey Funkypenguin, thanks for this. Nice transcription. One of my fives is tuned E-C and this works great. Garry
