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.

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

[quote name='6stringbassist' post='118786' date='Jan 11 2008, 06:59 PM']I get mine from here, they're quite a bit cheaper than the UK places, stringbuster and strings direct. [url="http://saitenkatalog.de/shop1/index.php/manufacturers_id/51?osCsid=52557f64e37374066de9fda121756b18&filter_id=68"]http://saitenkatalog.de/shop1/index.php/ma...mp;filter_id=68[/url] 32 Euros plus postage, they arrive within about 3 days usually.[/quote] Good Call... Get all my Strings from this place.. A really good selection of Makes and gauges.. I am very surprised more of you guys dont drop in on this place. Quick postage also. Garry

[quote name='Russ' post='118842' date='Jan 11 2008, 08:33 PM']I seem to recall that pretty much all Jeff Finch basses I've ever seen are either copies or approximations of other companies' basses... would that be accurate to say? That one above is pretty obviously based on an F Bass.[/quote] That was because he made to your spec .... So if you wanted a bass that was like a ******** . Thats what you got , and usally better. I think you will find the above Bass was around before 'F' Basses. Unless that is a newer version than the one i tried Donkey's years ago. Top bloke though ..and a good player who new his stuff.

He built me a six string in 1988.... Just wondering where it is now days.. Garry

Did 66's have neck bindings...? Garry
