[quote name='Sean' post='101730' date='Dec 9 2007, 02:35 PM']Does anyone have a serial code for Cubase LE that they could let me have? I got Cubase LE with my Zoom H4 and lost the CD sleeve in my recent housemove. I've now got to reload everything on to my PC since it had problems and I'm a bit stuck. Any help greatly appreciated. Sean[/quote] Sean... If you emailed Steinberg...and explained the problem... They might if they are having a good day help you. The reason being that it is a very cut down version with very little value. It is only a taster to encourage you to buy the flagship models. In fact you would be better of buying Computor magazine.. They have a complete sequencer package...with software synths and plenty of efx. And its P*** easy to use...with plenty of tutorials.. And its free....!!! Garry

[quote name='BassDad' post='71540' date='Oct 9 2007, 12:14 PM']Hi Guys, just picking your brains here anyone have any experiences wuth the Peavey Tour series of amps? Good or bad all replies welcome. cheers Frank.[/quote] I tried one of these ..This week.. It was through a GK 4X10... I was amazed at the the volume and very tight sound.... Maybe it could have been a combination of the cab and amp.? It had a much more focused sound than my Fafner.. £330.00...!!! Garry

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='98778' date='Dec 4 2007, 01:08 PM']He certainly used his stock phrases as much as the rest of us (an hour with a copy of the Parker Omnibook and a highlighter pen will prove that!!).[/quote] That is such a good book for chop practise [as well as ear training, on the old 2/5/1] In fact , a perfect xmas gift along with the Metro Gnome... Going not to well elsewhere.. Garry

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='98717' date='Dec 4 2007, 12:04 PM']He repeated himself an awful lot and anyone who has, at any point, listened to a lot of Jaco's stuff will confirm that.[/quote] I do agree with you 100%.... But then did a certain mr Parker.. Garry

[quote name='garbev' post='98424' date='Dec 3 2007, 08:58 PM']Anyhoo, try loops for practice, keep time and develop "The Groove"[/quote] Thats the way to go..! Garry

With Sequencer software and there cheaper cut down versions... You can easily practise with drum/chord grooves , which makes it much more interesting for the musical ear..and help give you the feel for music. [Remember...thats what its all about at the end of the day. Its very easy for Jeff Berlin to say that there is no need... But he has had over 30 years playing with Human metronomes...[Some of the best drummers] AS for not in Classical...? Whats the Guy in a Penguin suit in front of a 90 piece Orchestra doing.. Waving to his mum..? Any aid to making you into a better musician , is gotta be good for you.. Garry
