Yep, Mozart will be interesting for me to...... Wonder if they will touch on his early social life............... Billiards, drinking and Brothels...... Garry

[quote name='Chrismanbass' timestamp='1359768092' post='1960240'] however as i was playing on stage i noticed a group of young guys sat down beside the stage making a w**ker sign at the band (not sure if it was me or the band in general) at first i was a bit bemused has anyone encountered this kind of behaviour before?[/quote] I think being called a Five Knuckle Shuffler in the UK is chicken feed compared to Mexico... They take things a bit more serious when it comes to Band/Musician performance. http://www.latimes.com/news/world/worldnow/la-fg-wn-bodies-found-in-mexico-may-be-those-of-missing-band-20130128,0,3247925.story Garry

Morresy Mullen from the 80's..... More of a Latin Fusion Band, but PAZ were a good band [I believe they started in the mid 70's] Late 70's early 80's there was also a band called Savanna, started out as Fusion but ended up down the Disco route. Our very own Joe Hubbards 'Hubbards Cupboard' Richard Niles had a band called 'Bandzilla' back in the 80's - TV house band on the Ruby Wax show. Full of top players.

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1359744956' post='1959853'] Absolutely. When they came down to London they played the Greyhound, Fulham Palace Road (before they had a record deal) regularly and were so tight as a band. They were just so good i think we all knew we weren't going to see them in pubs for long. Fabulous band!!! [/quote] At that time i watched them at the Black Prince in Bexley a couple of times - And they were tremendous. Garry

Drummer wise - John Robinson.. Garry

I believe also that one of the Violinists, when looking at the gig diary would get the horrors when the Tom & Jerry sessions came in.... Garry

Dave Grusin. Garry

Congrats to the winner Skol...well for today anyway.... Garry

Shame the Armenian Duduk is not on your list, something i have been into for years. Just love the sound, and something i keep meaning to have a go at if i could put the time in. Garry

[quote name='BetaFunk' timestamp='1359581228' post='1957111'] The original post was re: 70s fusion[/quote] I know it says 70's, and I did say 80's......but hey no problem, Music [ fusion] is Music [fusion] regardless of era... shame to let some goodies get away...... Garry

Although early 80's, two albums by Wayne Johnson - The fanatstic Jimmy Johnson on Bass.................. From the 'Grasshopper' Album.... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUCKZFaAUFI[/media] From 'Arrowhead' Album........... [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0wJqoiMBMQ[/media] Garry

Great stuff, not really playing safe, just doing his thing for that tune. RB also has a really nice vocal style - just love those solo albums from 12 years ago or so. Garry

One of my faves from last year - Great vocals on the first Video, [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Zamajobe has [/font][/color]lovely phrasing.... Garry

[quote name='Lenny B' timestamp='1358933744' post='1947148'] Task for 2013, get to grips with some notation software rather than pencil and manuscript [/quote] This is just great.... Comes with nearly seven gig of good sample sounds. Really easy to use, enter notes with MIDI keys, Qwerty, or the mouse............ And most importantly will accurately play back all the articulations [Important for Horns, Woodwind and Strings] you write in, giving you great idea how it will sound in the real world. http://www.notionmusic.com/products/notion4.html Garry

Nice little article here. [url="http://www.spitfireaudio.com/cartoons-as-modern-art-a-scott-bradley-retrospective.html#.UQhA483cYOg.facebook"]http://www.spitfirea...83cYOg.facebook[/url] Garry

You just need to put down any work/shows/Theatre tours or even any Cruises you have done. If you have done any Music collage courses/Uni, put that down. Links to an online site with your CV goes down well. Md's and fixer names you have worked for also helps - You just need to prove you are not a bedroom chancer. Let them know you have a passport [and not waiting for one] Also any tropical jabs you have had. Another tip - see if you can find out what ship/company it's for. If you know any of the Musicians/MD's, you can then ask them to put a word in as well. Good luck Garry

If it's a six way tie... Next month we will be composing to a slide show..... Now that would be a bit of fun....... Garry

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1359368161' post='1953497'] Just be sure to draw a line at talking to such objects. [/quote] Grunting is fine though. Jazz Pianists grunt the best. http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?/topic/52373-piano-grunting-thread/ Garry

[quote name='OldG' timestamp='1359389866' post='1954008'] Good point - I hadn't thought about delay sync and reverb tails and time stretching, thank you! [/quote] Was not so much delay sync [should not be a problem really - I think ?] It was the long Legato sections just sounded odd - Staccato and Marcato things sounded ok [ish] The new tempo went up about 10 bpm, and of course any beat delays fx just re synced to the new tempo in the DAW. Drum and Percussion parts had no problems. Garry

We had to do this on a project. We did as Si mentioned, but we exported the tracks/stems without the FX etc. Did the change in a fresh project [with no FX] just raw Audio, Then Imported the tracks back into the original project, cloned the original track with FX and settings intact, and replaced with the new track[s] then muted/archived all the original tracks. We did this because we were having some odd things happening with some brass and string section stems/busses which were Reverb and Delay related. All was fine after with very good results. Garry

If discreet's suggestion does not work, try this, someone seems to had the same problem. Look at post #10 - Possible solution ............ http://www.soft.com.sg/forum/showthread.php?223877-Saffire-6-USB-Not-Detected-By-DAW Garry

What OS ? X64 ? is so does the Safffire support x64 bit ? USB 2 into USB port 3 etc ? Some details and i am sure someone will be along to help. Garry

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1359205935' post='1951525'] Or record to one track, then copy that track several times and remove all but one instrument from each track. [/quote] If you don't want to use multi outs [16 channels from your MIDI device] do as above. But there is a far easier and quicker way to get drum parts from one single MIDI track to [in your case] x amount of MIDI tracks. Every DAW has a different command for this - but it is basically 'split notes to tracks'. It will take individual lines [say C3/C#3/D3] etc and place the lines on seperate tracks in one pass [saves copying and erasing notes] You just then set all the tracks to MIDI channel 1 - Or if you want to use General MIDI mapping for Drums, channel 10. Check the Reaper manual for 'Split notes to tracks' You could also go to the Reaper forum and ask if anyone has a track or project template for your needs/MIDI device. Basically all you need to do is have 16 MIDI tracks in Reaper and assign them to your MIDI device [Should be stuff on YouTube for this] Garry
