I read a Interview with Gunnerson..[Somewhere] He used Nearly always his Jazz Bazz on the ABBA stuff... Apart from the later days.... When a Musicman got an outing... Garry

Also check out the live Chic Cd... Bonus interview tracks with Nile Rodgers and BE i think.. Right up to the night when he died... I believe he collapsed during a number... Got up and carried on playing.. Then finally went during th night..... I think we should have our own Disco Section.... Another A++ for Freddie Washington.. One of my all time fav's.. Garry

Not seen him for a while... Good player that lad.. Not sure why he was wasting his time with Kylie though.. Garry

Hi Steve.... Are you sure the guy is straight up...? Check out the Ebay Pictures again...... Looks Like the Bass is on a a bed at Wormwood scrubs Good one mate... Only ever tried a Cutlass once..[Swifty's] And it was stonking... I am surpised he did not spot that one.. Garry

So when's the meet up gonna be..? Garry

Nash.. It really is worth getting to grips with Reaper... Its right up there with the best of them for production work. Infact it does a few things some of the biggy Daws cant manage. And is a lot more stable , without all the bugs. So dont be put off with the Cubase / protools/Logic snobbary..! Good luck with it. Garry

[quote name='nash' post='134686' date='Feb 5 2008, 10:14 PM']well i dont know how to use it even with the user guide.[/quote] Have you tried the on-line video tutorials at the web site...? They are pretty good for getting you started. Garry

T-Racks was/is great... But if you are going to pay for the software.... Ozone is a well respected Piece of Kit.. All in one Mastering Package , with Pro results. [url="http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/"]http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/[/url] There is also a downloadable PDF , With a Fantastic Insight in Mastering , Well worth a look. But at the end of the day , you still need a pair of ears Cant beat a well experianced engineer. Garry

[quote name='nash' post='133973' date='Feb 4 2008, 11:05 PM']i think the instruments is an ad-on. i want a program where you can write a drum pattern and use the sounds from cakewalk instruments[/quote] Like i said above , try the link above for Reaper... Its just what you need , by the sound of it...FREE You are asked to buy a licence for commercial use.... But its not a Demo , and does not time out. So you can write as many Drum tracks as you want.Using Cakewalk Instruments. Garry

Not sure what you really mean... But Cakewalk / Sonar is midi writing software.. Or it was when i was using it about 15 minutes ago.... What do you mean by Cakewalk Instruments..? Do you have a Version of Cakewalk...? Or the addon pack called ..Cakewalk Instruments? If you are after a Midi/audio sequencer , and dont have Cakewalk/Sonar. This is the best freebie out there.

This Link [url="http://www.kaosaudio.com/kjaerhus-classic-master-limiter-free/"]http://www.kaosaudio.com/kjaerhus-classic-...r-limiter-free/[/url] I presume you have Audio software.... Or it's down to a Mastering house.. Garry

You need some sort of mastering limiter. Depends on your budget really. But this link has a freebie...[other freebies to] And a lot of music mags praise the Warm sounds from these plugs . Nothing to loose....FREE.. Garry

If you could get a luthier to design a Bass that doubles as a Hoover.... You could be onto something big. Garry

Was in a lift in a hotel in Edinburgh... [Early 90's] with a couple of Musicians and.... A very pissed Sarah Ferguson and her minder... She asked if we were having a have a drinks party...? The Minder said 'You are going nowhere with these f*****g nob's ' She said ...'F*****g , oh yes i remember that..!' I am sure it's off with head , now i have let that one out of the bag. Garry

[quote name='Sean' post='127711' date='Jan 25 2008, 01:16 PM']I've always been taught to pick intervals that relate to songs that you know[/quote] This is a really good way to train your ear.... Garry

[quote name='OldG' post='121921' date='Jan 17 2008, 06:53 AM'][url="http://reaper.fm/index.php"]Reaper[/url] is just fantastic value.... works on nearly any computer and really intuative with VST/DX and midi support. Best you'll get for $40 (it'll still run if you don't register)[/quote] A must really..... Garry
