Album Conversion Software

I'm about to start transferring my vinyl and cassettes to my Mac and I'm dreading trimming, spacing and naming the individual tracks. I've done a few albums in Pro Tools and bounced-to-disc, but it's really tedious. I'd really like to record a side and then start typing song titles. Has anyone used ...

It's the Sound

I hope I'm not too late to add to this because I really, really hate Steely Dan. Musically, they did for harmony what 12-tone did for melody. It's as if they filled chords in like a puzzle and then played it. Sure, it works in theory, but the chord progressions don't progress, they just kinda lie th...

Alesis SR-16 software

I love my SR-16 for the simplicity of programming patterns. Song programming, however, is a pain. Not being able to randomly access a pattern in the song makes changing a verse nearly like starting over. Does anyone know of a program specifically for sequencing patterns like this? I'm kind of surpri...

Get Real

Anyone who doesn't complain about customers doesn't work in customer service. Good customer service means never making the customer sorry they came. If someone wants to waste their own time and money, you can't really stop them, but great customer service means helping them not to. I think anonymous...

Advice for bands

1. Make rehearsal time a priority, like any job. If band practice is 7:00 on Tuesday, then at 7:00 on Tuesday, you should be tuned up, plugged in and sober. Do not confuse practice with jamming. Anyone who is not playing in the band should not come over until practice is done. There will be plenty o...

Run screaming from cassettes!

The sooner you are done with cassettes the better. Sound character comes from your songs, your voice, your performance, your instruments, mikes and room far more than the recording medium. There is nothing to be gained by using cassettes. If you really miss tape hiss, I'm sure somebody makes a plug-...

Go To Guitar mike

I can sympathize with seeking the one mike solution. It would be nice if we could all have a cabinet full of great mikes. I need more shelf space to put all my Neumanns and Telefunkens I've got just laying around by the pool and in the trunk of my Bentley, but for the rest of the hoi polloi who only...

Anyone using M-Audio Ozone? Ozonic?

I'm thinking about getting an M-audio Ozone or maybe the Ozonic for my Powerbook. I'm running ProTools M-powered with a ProjectMix right now, but I want a cheap portable interface. Has anyone had any experience with these?

The worst acronym

How do we all like to pronounce DAW? "Daah" sounds stupid and "dee ay doubleyou" is hardly any better than "digital audio workstation." It seems to me that the Marketing people at Korg and Roland, etc. should have given this more thought. I suggest we recording wonks make up a new pronounciation tha...

Cubase on older Mac

Okay, I'm just about to install Cubase 5.0 on my 400MHz Mac G3. Any tips on this anitique setup? I'm going to need an interface. I haven't had much luck with the Tascam US-122 but that was running the teaser version, "Cubasis". I'd like to be able to record at least 4 tracks simultaneously and playb...
