[quote name='Downdown' timestamp='1489834316' post='3260166'] A high heart rate alone is not necessarily a good thing. Stress can do much the same thing. [/quote] He was playing 'The Birdie Song' at the time.So yes, it was more than likely stress.

[quote name='Paul S' timestamp='1489659574' post='3258675'] Big King Louis and the Barockettes, playing a selection of French 17th century rock and roll ditties. [/quote] Remember them well. Also, don't forget 'Vivaldi and his Venetian Swingers'. They were real Baroque & Roll.... Back then they used to throw their Cart Keys onto the table.

[quote name='skankdelvar' timestamp='1489595836' post='3258263'] Baroque I always forget which came first: Rococobilly or Baroqueabilly. [/quote]

Degree Project - Need some market research
lowdown replied to cris the man's topic in General Discussion
Done. Good luck with your venture. -
Yes, certainly the way to go and really does make workflows a breeze. Although our Studio is just for Composing media cues, we found the TouchOSC fantastic for midi work (Cubase) Especially for templates for various sample library articulations and controlling CC#'s. Just got a second iPad Air for this. Early days, but it really seems to be the business. [url="http://metasystem.io"]http://metasystem.io[/url] I use it for Cubase 9 and Studio One. I believe it is also for Logic Pro and Digital Performer. http://metasystem.io/video/video.html

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1489486236' post='3257273'] It's like the chat room for SAGA Holidays in here. Not that I lurk in the SAGA Holidays chat room and am able to make this comparison from personal experience, of course. That is all. As you were. [/quote] I depped on a Two Week Saga Cruise, about 8/9 years ago. Couldn't play anything above about 60 bpm, without someone falling over and breaking a bone. And that was just the band...Horrible experience.

Yes, a very sweet player. Great musical feel.

Most things fit in with music theory, even the 'Buddy Holly Chord/Interval' (as is known in some circles, or Flatted (lower) Submediant 'b VI'). It's been around for ever. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submediant

[quote name='Marty Forrer' timestamp='1489461722' post='3257134'] Uh, Paul Warning, Peggy Sue has 4 chords. Just being pedantic. [/quote] What's an 'F' between friends.

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1489398245' post='3256507'] Absolutely - even if he did nick the odd melody & chord progression from others. [/quote] Good Composers Borrow, Great Composers Steal. (not my words).

Want a fretted and also a fretless bass ?

Ibanez had a similar thing going on a few years back. Maybe the Six string didn't catch on, so they upped the game with a seven string. [url="https://postimg.org/image/51r4jdgpv/"][/url] -
[quote name='Chiliwailer' timestamp='1489237527' post='3255376'] Now sorted. I needed to download the elicenser software and then get Elements 8 via a grace period download. Got there in the end and now have the beats I paid for ages ago! Cheers for your help, it steered me in the right direction [/quote] Good stuff.

Have you tried (after the original install) downloading and installing the Elements 7 update? [url="https://www.steinberg.net/en/support/downloads/downloads_cubase_elements_7.html"]https://www.steinber...elements_7.html[/url] Elements is now up to version 9, I would have thought that during the upgrade that It would have given you the option to upgrade to the current version and not a 4 year old legacy version. It's possible that there are two VST folders installed, one for A1 7 and one for Elements. If so, you will have to navigate to the second folder as well. That will be under options etc.
-
I thought Cubase Elements only had Groove Agent SE4? Sounds like you have installed Cubase A1 7 rather than Elements. Elements has the Drum software. I am not sure that A17 has? Have you tried the Steinberg set up videos? Well worth a look. Cubase A17 and Elements 7 http://youtu.be/sBVwMnoz6tY

[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1489056034' post='3253983'] I'd only heard Ed doing it solo on many TV shows, so I thought I'd actually listen to the recorded version. Much less jam night and with Pino front and centre, which is never a bad thing. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qp5vcuMIlk[/media] [/quote] Not a fan of his style of warbling, but he does have an appeal to a lot of folks and his writing style is right up pop alley. He certainly has done well for himself. That is one shocking production mix though, a real mid range mess. Has that happened in the YouTube upload, I wonder ?

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1489055606' post='3253980'] I might steal this concept for the Compositon Challenge one month [/quote] Yes ! What a great idea and a nice change for one month.

[quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1489003742' post='3253697'] Edit: I made the sensible choice of going for Albion One [/quote] The thing is with Albion One, apart from it's lovely sounding sections, is all the extra sound design patches in the Edna (Engine) Synth. They have taken the original Orchestral section recordings and mangled them up, including arp and sequence rhythms. So there are many decent, and very usable ethereal sounds available. Be sure to check out the videos on YouTube from various people, because there is plenty to get stuck into. Enjoy... [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1489013762' post='3253814'] Good call here. Good Stuff for a modest sum, which goes to a Good Cause. Recommended; thanks for posting this. [/quote] Yes, a nice Cause.

[quote name='Staggering on' timestamp='1488976391' post='3253379'] It's worse if you play upright bass.Check out Jay Leonhart's video "It's impossible to sing and play the bass".And even worse if you are using the bow! [/quote] Haha... Doing the Facebook rounds at the moment.

I thought some folks might like to enter this Comp. You do need to use One 'Embertone' Instrument in the arranging part of the comp, but I believe you can use any of their free Instruments from their website. Here is the blurb. http://www.embertone.com/strangerthemes/

[quote name='NoirBass' timestamp='1488872460' post='3252451'] I've used unrealBook for a few years now. [url="https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/unrealbook/id370135173?mt=8"]https://itunes.apple...d370135173?mt=8[/url] You can take photos of existing charts or upload PDF's. this can all be arranged into setlist a for each project. I also like the ability to draw over the top so if you have a different arrangement, need to add a cue or spot a mistake in the chart you can easily scribble notes. I've even done this mid gig between songs. I've transcribed everything in Sibelius over about the last 10 - 15 years, so it was really easy for me to convert the charts to PDF and then upload then to unrealBook. Also, for simple chord charts I use iReal pro. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/ireal-pro-music-book-play-along/id298206806?mt=8 It's well worth learning how to make your own charts within this. The bonus here is if you set up the form of the song correctly you can use it for play along too. The transpose feature on this has saved me a few times too. [/quote] Pretty much all this for me (Both Apps). iReal Pro for any Jazz standards I am unfamiliar with. unRealbook for my Notation and Scores. It's great that you can amend the PDF's with scribbles and changes etc. Top App.
