[quote name='owen' timestamp='1333320273' post='1600140'] I was at that gig as well. Nearly everything has has paled beside it. I have never witnessed such a groove. [/quote] I thought it was a pretty amazing experience, you just don't forget some gigs, Glad i got to see Miles, and on a great night. Garry

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1333309043' post='1599905'] Ok, here goes and i would expect a lot of stick for this Great chorus, arrangement and melodies. [/quote] Not from me.

PYT is a great Jackson tune. It's perfect for pop - whether its the perfect pop tune is just down to personal taste. The ultimate self indulgent writing [Music] and arranging of Pop for me was this. it was the 60's over the top at it's best. But my god why did Jimmy Webb not hire a singer ? And a Lyricist i suppose. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgPP2R1afw&feature=fvst"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xgPP2R1afw&feature=fvst[/url] Garry

Thanks for the link Clarky - great stuff. Garry

Remember seeing Miles at the festival hall a few years ago, when he did 'Human Nature' and 'Time after Time'. A gig that was just something else, with Darryl Jones on Bass, John Scofield and Bob Berg. Garry

Yep - they are Tube drivers during the day. Garry

[quote name='BottomE' timestamp='1333115195' post='1597666'] sh*t name though. [/quote] Tis odd.

[quote name='SteveK' timestamp='1332936535' post='1595064'] I'm struggling trying to imagine some of the songs suggested with such a limited line-up. [/quote] Note for note/arrangement/sound, of course. But with a bit of creativity and a little outside of the box thinking, anything is possible with Beatles tunes. Garry

[quote name='blamelouis' timestamp='1332636110' post='1591119'] Lady madonna [/quote] Good choice. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doeNEC4WKpA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doeNEC4WKpA[/url] Garry

Does the Duet have Midi in/out as well ? Garry

Yep, Absynth and BBC presenter voices don't quite go together. Days of hardware, oh the days.... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEPSruBdSqk"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEPSruBdSqk[/url] Garry

Thought i would share this track. An acquaintance from elsewhere. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Y2GzHyGUU&feature=player_embedded"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3Y2GzHyGUU&feature=player_embedded[/url] Garry

Sounds Interesting & good fun. I think there is already a Basschat group on Soundcloud. Garry

A DAW is a DAW - work flow comes into play really when it comes to choice. These days all the more well known Vendors all pretty much do the same. Its then down to what they come with FX/Synth wise, or Video & Scoring wise, and Nuendo for post production etc. Audio cards are what the sound quality is all about for budget/project studios. Of course Pro Tools HD and the Radar systems are another matter. Been using Cubase for years and feel like trying something new [Just Gas more than likely] Pro-Tools 10 does look interesting, but i am holding back for the moment, Digital Performer 8 for W7 PC is out soon, and i have always liked the idea with that.[Mac only up till now] Great Midi & Video/Scoring side to it. Enjoy your Pro Tools, be interesting to see how you get on with it Charic.

[quote name='spinynorman' timestamp='1332423358' post='1588092'] I've got an M-Audio FastTrack USB which came with ProTools Essentials. What I've found is there's no bass guitar volume worth speaking of unless you use an amp or preamp between the bass and the FastTrack. I since looked at reviews on Amazon and it's a common complaint. I've also used it with Audacity and it makes no difference. I'm now looking for a bass to PC soundcard interface that actually works. [/quote] What's your budget ? Garry

If its an old unit, you might need to update the drivers for your OS. [url="http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support&tab=driver"]http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=support&tab=driver[/url] Garry

Great stuff dude. Always liked this tune [The Crusaders version was pretty cool as well] Garry
