[quote name='OldG' timestamp='1357648655' post='1925877'] Ok, final tweaks and this time in downable mp3(224VBR) <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="audioUrl=http://www.wikiupload.com/9I8 src="http://www.google.com/reader/ui/3523697345-audio-player.swf" width="400" height="27" quality="best"></embed> [url="http://www.wikiupload.com/9I8"]http://www.wikiupload.com/9I8[/url] [/quote] Link not working [for me] Like the way wikiupload says 'Share your files easily' Garry

I use one of these [the older silver version though] Very smooth, no signal change, and it also has side LED lights which is great for show/pit work. http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/visual-sound-visual-volume-pedal--37001?gclid=CMi4oLLa2LQCFW3KtAodvFcAWQ Garry

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1357640367' post='1925655'] To be honest I didnt think anyone would even notice what we were doing tucked away in the Recording forum. Its not unusual to sit here all on my own for a day watching tumbleweed go by, its only when I venture outside its comforting embrace into the lands of General Discussion and Off Topic that I get myself in trouble [/quote] You will be amazed at some of the people who slither down to this little pit, Garry

[quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1357638600' post='1925611'] Really? Why? Is it so hard to click download and playback the file locally then? [/quote] It's not that really mate [I don't think] I think it's that people [b]may[/b] take time out to listen to all the tracks, but then to down load larger files is even more time. If it's just the folk in the mix comp you expecting to vote, fair enough - But people not in the comp might find it tedious, and not bother. Just look at the Composing comp, some people are admitting that they just skip through, and that's just through streaming. I can hear through the Soundcloud [converted] files which ones stand out to my ears - I am not sure unconverted files will make that amount of a difference. I thought the art was to make things translate. Just my take and no offence meant, others will vary of course. Good luck to you guys.

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1357499252' post='1923631'] I thought they lost it when Allen (Keys) left....... [/quote] Sad that - some say he had a screw loose. Garry

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1357498353' post='1923602'] And Ikea - their second album was terrible [/quote] Just opinions i suppose - I thought it was well put together. Garry

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1357497889' post='1923595'] So inti just removed his own offensive posts (not aimed at me btw) then private messages me a threatening message asking if I am harassing him! Classic [/quote] Just put it all down to ABBA and Meatballs. He will get over it in time. Garry

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1357491878' post='1923445'] Im not one Garry Inti wont let me [/quote] Looks like it's a clown for the day then.... Garry

Apart from networking, knowing plenty of other musicians/MD's/fixers and such, good solid playing is the order of the day. Good ears/busking, good reading chops, and picking up things very quickly along with being musically versatile, and feel comfortable turning up and playing with complete strangers [they won't be after a while if you are doing your job right] Fretless and Double Bass help, and Bass Synth won't do you any harm. All these things help elevate you if you wan't to make a [good] living from it. Basically these days a good all round freelancer will not just be doing [recording] sessions, It means playing/depping on shows, functions, cabaret/act backing, pub gigs, or any thing thrown your way. If none of the above phase you, go for it. Garry

Well done BobbyK, good stuff. Garry

MIDI Drumming is easier than ever with all the software available. You can go from free programmes up to high end. They all come with midi loops, just drag and drop. Use them as a starting point then edit in the PRV to suit your needs. You don't have to play keyboards or be a drummer to do this , although i find playing them in on a keyboard is good for getting natural velocity levels, but again you can change this in the PRV view. If you are struggling with playing other Instruments, learn the basics of MIDI input, you could even just write it in. There is plenty of videos on YouTube for this stuff. Garry

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1356958803' post='1915561'] Cheers guys I will invest I am sure , before the due date. I cannot get my head around the midi aspects ATM , sometimes it works sometimes not , these are the type things that frustrate me the most, I know it works becuase I have done it , but there must be a command or channel or a driver or some button that needs switching. I am thinking that the world of Midi is a must with recording , so I will have to get my head around it . [/quote] While Reaper is not for me [I tried - but a few things missing for me] I did find this useful [YouTube] Lots of material on Midi in Reaper. Hope it helps. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=working+with+midi+in+reaper&oq=working+with+midi+in+reaper&gs_l=youtube.3...22188.28351.0.28531.27.26.0.1.1.0.83.1850.26.26.0...0.0...1ac.1.Ms8htt_Fx9M Garry

Nice one Mike. It tells a little story, you should just put it up into the comp - It would get my vote. Garry

I have done a quite a few over the years - but only in the production shows band. Best bits for me were visiting the great resorts of the world [and meeting my wife - she was a singer/dancer in a show] Worst bits - two to a cabin, hard work when you are trying to get it on with your future wife. Good luck with the auditions, and enjoy it, you can have a great time. Garry
