  1. [quote name='xilddx' timestamp='1379930325' post='2218251'] I was a bit gobsmacked, lovely photo, thanks Silvia [/quote] Wow...Nice little prize there, well done and enjoy. Looks and sounds like it was a great day - Great stuff by all the folks that put it together. Garry
  2. [quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1379963912' post='2218870'] [size=4]It's going to take me a while, though...[/size] [/quote] Not really....There is something for everyone, and this section might be right up your Rue. "[color=#333333][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif][size=3][i]An insignificant and playful rhythm is suitable to the triangle[/i]"[/size][/font][/color] [size=4] [/size]
  3. Just been doing some work for someone, and I had to revisit some Orchestration techniques before I made an Ass of myself, and thankfully this site came in useful. So if you want to do some serious Orchestral orchestration study - This site is for you. It's from the Rimsky Korsakov books, but it is laid out very well with all the Audio examples. Each section can be taken at your own pace, or just pick sections out at random. It's all pretty serious stuff.

  4. Sleeping is a complete waste of time, and is expensive. I was born in 1957 and have never been to bed to sleep. The money I have saved on beds, pyjamas and cornflakes is pretty amazing.
  5. Carol did ok with a pick. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9idtdWAAEA&list=PLEF9252D63177D537"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9idtdWAAEA&list=PLEF9252D63177D537[/url]
  6. In the 50/60's Monk Montgomery did ok (great) with it, he seemed to get that natural decay and lovely thick round tone of an Upright, he was also a good DB player that could swing nicely, which helped...but yep, they are few and far between. Garry
  7. [quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1379683397' post='2215688'] [size=4]I will try harder in future to condense my posts into short soundbites for the alcopops generation .[/size] ( Edited for conciseness . If this post is still too long for you I could always cut some more out ) . [/quote] You are a good turn, but your encores do tend to go on longer than your act.... But other than that, do carry on.

  8. [quote name='McBass' timestamp='1379671118' post='2215454'] Buddy Williams is killin it in this, [/quote] +1....In fact the whole band are. I still have this on VHS as well, although I think you can get it on DVD now (Japan release) [url="http://musicvideosanddvd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/david-sanborn-love-happiness-2006.html"]http://musicvideosanddvd.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/david-sanborn-love-happiness-2006.html[/url] If you are a Marcus fan, a concert worth watching from his early years, where it is just raw grooving away, and not spending half the night soloing.

  9. Most freebies (not all) are usually just .dll files that don't need registration, and they can be dragged and dropped anywhere you want, but on a lot of 3rd party VST/VSTi's that come with libraries and presets, the .dll will only install from the original disc. [size=4]Mainly because you have to do the serial number/challenge and response/iLok thing before it will go any further[/size] [size=4]Or in the case of Native Instruments, the service centre thing.[/size] [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZfT2T1wRzo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZfT2T1wRzo[/url]
  10. One will be 32 bit version plugs (x86) the other of course x64 versions. Some Vsts/Vsti's install a Vst3 version as well. If Reaper can handle VST3's, they will be in ..... [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]C:\Program Files\[b]Commonfiles[/b]\Vst3\ (for 64 bit)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]C:\Program Files(x86)\[b]Commonfiles[/b]\Vst3\ (for 32 bit)[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]But a DAW that can handle Vst3, usually locates the Vst3 folders/files automatically.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Garry[/size][/font][/color]
  11. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1379617109' post='2214967'] [size=4]C:\Program Files\VstPlugins is where the 64 bit plugins are installed by default.[/size] C:\Program Files (x86)\VstPlugins are where the 32 bit plugins are installed by default. I'd highly recommend sticking to these locations. [/quote] It's worth a mention that sometimes... If a VST or VSTi has an installer, it will sometimes use or create a folder called Steinberg. So it would be... C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins (for 64 bit) Then direct your DAW to that folder as well as \VstPlugins, and scan/re-scan both folders. Garry
  12. This is the one I have been following. [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/kala-ubass-megathread-part-1-a-672089/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f8/kala-ubass-megathread-part-1-a-672089/[/url]
  13. Funny enough I am looking into getting one.

  15. [quote name='BassTractor' timestamp='1379164684' post='2209339'] "The Way It Is" is bloody great, innit? Possibly the top track of that album. I have a weak spot for this piano bit of Americana, and it has influenced my own piano playing. [/quote] Tis a great tune that........ I have just posted a (Synth) Bass part downstairs in theory...

  19. A transcription I did a couple of years ago "Lets Hear It For The Boy" Original was played on Synth Bass, but still a nice read for Bass Guitar.

  22. [quote name='Mornats' timestamp='1379008863' post='2207730'] That's awesome mate. So what's the trick in getting noticed? I guess using the correct/appropriate tags? [/quote] Possible, but more than likely having more Media friendly cues, as opposed to song format - But who knows, pot luck I suppose.
  23. Not arf....... I have had tracks licensed for Sony PSP Mini games and iPad/Android Apps through people lurking on Soundcloud. They messaged me and I just sent them off to my Library company. I am just about to get the Soundcloud Pro as well, much bigger audience open to you.
