    'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough'

    [quote name='Crazykiwi' post='161736' date='Mar 22 2008, 11:29 AM']We play this one in my band, its a great song if you can pull the bassline back behind the beat far enough and there's plenty of room for some tasty high speed fills at the end of sections. I think Jermaine Jackson played bass for the Jackson 5 but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.[/quote]

    John Robinson [Stonking drummer on hundreds of those Disco tunes , including the above mentioned]
    Says that one of Louis Js greatest gifts....along with his feel for music.
    Was to play right 'on it' But was relaxed.
    And Quincy Jones said , 'The pair of them played right on it...'
    'Not in front , not behind...' 'And thats what i want'
    And i suppose if you listen to all Those MJ tunes...
    They were very metronomic...but in a great way..with tons of feel , and technique , but relaxed.
    And of course that was all down to the quality of those amazing players that Quincy Jones used. :)

    Hey C..
    Sorry about that...
    It was just that i did have a 80's Ray with a Ebony board.
    The guy i got it from had a fretless ebony board put on..
    Then he had it fretted..
    Wish i could find out who has it now?
    I loved that Bass...

    Good luck with the trade. :)

    [quote name='Riddler' post='142341' date='Feb 18 2008, 10:53 AM']How does the 4-94 compare with the 44-02? from the blurb on the website it looks like the US built stuff is of superior build quality but is it worth the price difference?

    Cheers

    Yes ...without a doubt... :)
    But the Skylines are great value for the money.

    Nash..
    It really is worth getting to grips with Reaper...
    Its right up there with the best of them for production work.
    Infact it does a few things some of the biggy Daws cant manage.
    And is a lot more stable , without all the bugs.

    So dont be put off with the Cubase / protools/Logic snobbary..!

    Good luck with it.

    T-Racks was/is great...
    But if you are going to pay for the software....
    Ozone is a well respected Piece of Kit..
    All in one Mastering Package , with Pro results.

    [url="http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/"]http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/ozone/[/url]
    There is also a downloadable PDF ,
    With a Fantastic Insight in Mastering ,
    Well worth a look.
    But at the end of the day , you still need a pair of ears :)
    Cant beat a well experianced engineer.

    [quote name='nash' post='133973' date='Feb 4 2008, 11:05 PM']i think the instruments is an ad-on. i want a program where you can write a drum pattern and use the sounds from cakewalk instruments[/quote]
    Like i said above , try the link above for Reaper...
    Its just what you need , by the sound of it...FREE
    You are asked to buy a licence for commercial use....
    But its not a Demo , and does not time out.
    So you can write as many Drum tracks as you want.Using Cakewalk Instruments.

    Not sure what you really mean...
    But Cakewalk / Sonar is midi writing software..
    Or it was when i was using it about 15 minutes ago....

    What do you mean by Cakewalk Instruments..?
    Do you have a Version of Cakewalk...?
    Or the addon pack called ..Cakewalk Instruments?
    If you are after a Midi/audio sequencer , and dont have Cakewalk/Sonar.
    This is the best freebie out there.
