[quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1340880903' post='1710879'] Dirty Reid's cafe [/quote] Is that the same place as the Old Durty Reid's Palace ? I think it got knocked down, or something rebuilt there. Sounds like fun with the sharks though. Garry

Just a heads up for any one Interested. Had and Email from a very good Guitarist friend of mine who lives down in Brighton. I have done many many gigs and sessions with him over the years - and he is superb and well worth a listen. His new band has Guy on Bass - so if you are local get yourself down there if you fancy a good night.

[quote name='risingson' timestamp='1340654372' post='1707720'] Stravinsky was a big fan, plus everyone and anyone who came after him and took great influence from him. Leonard Bernstein, John Williams spring to mind. [/quote] Dominant 7th chord, minor 7th b5 chord, 7th b9 chord, and others. You hear these intervals all the time these days, well in Jazz and Cinematic film scores based on the big Symphony Orchestras, and of course wrong notes in Pub Rock Bands... Garry

Another vote for "Four Corners", great stuff. And of course you can't leave out the very first album "YellowJackets" Garry

Thanks for the link Laimis, good stuff. Garry

Dean Markley Mistfits [Skullbusters] 46/66/86/106/135 on my fretted and fretless. Although i have a high tight action they still sing out well, and they are still good on the old slap thing when needed. Garry

Presonus Studio one version 2 - [b]its free[/b], plenty of features, and if she wants to take it serious a good upgrade path for the three versions available.

Fever, including some of the other versions. Even played solo, just about everyone in the universe knows what it is, apart from Anna Conrad of course. To many for me to list. Garry

iLok account is just for storing licenses - nothing more or nothing less. From a $20.00 plug in to $2000.00 top end Orchestral sample library. You can transfer licenses between accounts, insure your software against theft or loss. Garry

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1339829635' post='1694948'] Also, if you're running your DAW on a laptop and need USB sockets then you could always get a hub - cheap as chips. [/quote] Yep, Hubs work fine for keys/dongles but not so good [sometimes] for running Audio interfaces. Garry

I have a Steinberg/Syncrosoft key for Nuendo 5.5 and an iLok account for a lot of other stuff. Both will take many licenses. [iLok over five hundred i think] If you run your DAW from a Laptop, i can understand some folk having a moan about using two USB ports for keys/dongles, but on a desktop with eight USB ports it's not a problem. Also with Steinberg/Syncrosoft you can transfer your licenses. Garry

[b]You are a real Musician When......[/b] You're not a Drummer. Garry

Just been listening again to this album this morning. There is some fantastic arranging and Orchestrating going on. It seems there was amazing input from all involved. Garry

I know what you mean by it 'swings', and it does. Quincy Jones and his boys were 'on it' back in the days. I read somewhere that QJ thought 'Off the Wall' was a better album than 'Thriller' in his opinion. Garry

[quote name='gjones' timestamp='1339164088' post='1684690'] It needs something playing [b]16ths [/b]whether it's the hi hat or maracas or wee shakey egg or something to bring the rhythm together. [/quote] That's the problem with the OP video. That type of groove is just not about 16th's, it's about 16th's that swing. The whole band have trouble with that - they are more square than square [or their version of that tune is] Or possibly it's just their [to fast] take on it. Garry

Are you sure it's not just the room & ambience mic ? Two sliders on the right of the interface. The help menu or Youtube has a lot of good tips. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0oEN3P73pk[/media] Garry

[quote name='Hector' timestamp='1338423215' post='1674517'] try to work out the harmony of tunes using your [b]ears and cunning[/b]. Be able to hear music as well as you see it on paper. Better even. [/quote] All very important stuff this, added with learning to sight read. Chops will always move along with your own requirements and needs in the early years [with regular practise and a good teacher] But many Musicians, which includes a lot of Bassists - leave their ears behind.
