Re: Ye Olde useage of click tracks

and why Ringo didn't play on the very first Beatles session, or didn't play on all of it (Beatles trivia buffs can correct me, I'm sketchy on the details but I know I'm basically right that George Martin wasn't sold on Ringo at first). The old way of fixing tempo problems was to sack the drummer on...

Re: Presonus Firestation. Anybody using one?

even now though, my firestation has clocking errors unless it gets booted up with the system. generally, no turning on or off while the computer is on. sort of annoying for everyday use (iTunes). That's one quirk I've seen now, too - for some strange reason, I have to have it powered up before boot...

Re: Presonus Firestation. Anybody using one?

My new Firestation just arrived last night. I haven't had much time to mess with it yet (obviously), but I had the same plug-and-play luck with it - within minutes I was recording new tracks and playing back existing stuff through Logic Audio 6 (on my G4 tower running 10.2.6). Presonus has a "New Us...

Re: Motu 2408 & a G3, is it good? Help!

Does it matter what slot # the 324 is in? Anyone? It *shouldn't* matter which PCI card slot a card goes in, but I've seen PC motherboards be finicky - cards that don't work in one slot, but work fine in the next one over. I haven't had that problem on my macs (yet), but it never hurts to try... goo...

Re: Any XTC Fans Here?

My bass-player wife has a story about a drummer in one of her bands challenging her "if you can play Mayor of Simpleton, then you're a *real* bass player." So she did, of course.

Nonesuch, Black Sea, and Oranges&Lemons are all in my car right now, and I'm now wishing I had them here at the computer.

Re: What did you work on today? 10-26-03

Funny you should ask... I spent this weekend making a record with one of two bands I play steel in. On Saturday we recorded drums and scratch parts to tape (since the drummer has a 1/2" machine) and then transferred everything into the computer (logic 6). Sunday we reconvened at my house and spent t...

Re: Motivation

I also agree with those who say don't be afraid to throw stuff away. With that many ideas floating around, scrap it and move on if it ain't working. On the other hand, one of my best song had a good 5 years inbetween verse writing and chorus writing, so don't be afraid to dust something off either....

Re: Big Box...?

Hi folks, Has anyone bought the Big Box deal? I want it, but musician's enemy can't tell me what version of 5 is included. If it's between 5 and 5.1.3, then it appears it's non-upgradable according to emagic website... Anyone know? thanks, kellyb Mine had 5.5.0 - i bought the big box about 2 months...

Re: SM Pro Audio Pro 8 Channel Microphone Preamp opinions?

Since the preamp is so cheap--and since I could use something like it for remote recording--I think I might buy one and experiment with it. However, I've noticed that SM Pro Audio's website has been out of service since last week. Maybe they've gone out of business... That would explain the price c...

Re: hey, new macs are landing!!...

It's kind of amazing how many people here are using G4 400s, then... counting myself. I'm running Logic 5.5 with an external firewire drive (on OS X, even), and I have yet to push the disk or CPU/audio meters past halfway. That computer doesn't necessarily like warcraft so much, though. *ahem* not t...
