RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

[quote name='Machines' post='244554' date='Jul 21 2008, 03:41 PM']Chemical Brothers - Block Rocking Beats is currently playing on Kerrang! FM.[/quote] Never thought chemical bros. and kerrang would be said in the same sentance

Speaking of sound control: I think they were at the time the only uk seller of Schecter's. One regret about me and sound control;They stocked these creamy leather amps ,which would have matched my Telecaster but I couldn't remember the name of'em -or the price! Anyone got any ideas?

Don't beat yourself up about it. There are others . It's like jobs,don't set your hopes up for one only.

If i could get my hands on a cheap 5 string banjo i would be happy.[/quote] Sometimes I think of Satch, or Deliverance. But then ,I have to stop right there...because George Formby will get stuck in my head forever. (he does make nice grills tho')

[quote name='essexbasscat' post='716948' date='Jan 18 2010, 07:13 PM']Cello is also the same scale as a four string bass too!! T[/quote] Cool ! What happened to your cat avatar?

[quote name='iconic' post='716892' date='Jan 18 2010, 06:41 PM']Got it, it's cheap @£9.99, got a headphone socket, keyboard based so another instrument and cool as can be, can even take it to the pub...f**k it I'm buying one tomorrow myself to help me tab stuff in the car! ...not too long ago these were changing hands for £300 on fleabay, but thank goodness they are making them all over again....wonder if they do bass model? [/quote] Wow! my guitar friend used to play this through his marshall stack with pedals. Totally rocks. Me? I hated the tiny layout. Reminds me of some mobile phones. Cheers

one was for sale for ages last year.(the brown one) minus a volume knob iirc.Don't think it sold ,could be wrong. I noticed that my schecter stiletto elite 5 is now d iscontinued, tho' it seemed very popular. I wonder why they keep changing their models ??

Could it end up in cort?

Sounds like a bridge too far

Thanks for that. I 'll probably have to get from Apple tho' ,as I'm mac and the cheaper ones are pc. Geetting annoyed when my tutorial book refers to loops that are not on version 7 . Either my files are corrupted ,or it's just basic loops. I did checkout that guys you tube site,but what I'm after isn't on there (ie beginning logic 7 etc) Maybe it's just me Will probably order upgrade to logic 9 tomorrow. Cheers for now

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' post='715218' date='Jan 16 2010, 09:31 PM']Thanking you all for your input. One question I do have tho': I'm on logic express 7 The layout is different to logic pro. and different from the tutorial book I mentioned. Is it worth upgrading to logic express9 ,and if I do so,is the layout the same as logic pro 8 /9? (i understand it's the express version,and iI don't need all of the other features yet) Please advise Cheers[/quote]

[quote name='karlthebassist' post='715128' date='Jan 16 2010, 07:29 PM']Electric violin, electric cello... theyre pretty quiet acoustically.[/quote] Cello sounds cool. Wonder how much an electric one costs,and what kind of band I could possibly join...

[quote name='mrcrow' post='715102' date='Jan 16 2010, 06:49 PM']a sitar[/quote] God no! I hate ravi schenker ,Kashmere etc. Thanks for your suggestion tho'

Thanks folks! Still wondering ....

Thanks for your advice folks! (more needed). Will look at that you tube clip later Today , I followed book. It's a pain at the moment. (most loops not playing! ) Looking for the basic controls is awkward as well,as it's more aimed at logic pro. Will persist, and give my good friend a call who gave it to me as a present. Aaaargh!

Active bass? My washburn status ,kept picking up bbc radio,and local taxi stations at band practice a few times. It's now passive

[quote name='iconic' post='714358' date='Jan 15 2010, 09:24 PM']Harp...they are quiet...'ish and still a string instrument ...failing that comb and greaseproof paper[/quote] Harp: expensive? Comb and paper? Yeah,could do a jimi Hendrix (crosstown traffic)

[quote name='jezzaboy' post='714353' date='Jan 15 2010, 09:19 PM']Hows about a euphonium...... [attachment=40266:796300_a...px_super.jpg] Or mabye not... Jez [/quote] Maybe the two ladies ,to the right of the picture could persuade me

[quote name='essexbasscat' date='Jan 15 2010, 09:11 PM' post='714346'] Hi Ray how you doing ? An electric piano could be a really useful one y'know. I run one through a 10 watt yamaha amp and it's fine in my flat with neighbors attached. Also goes through headphones too. Hi essex ,yeah I have keyboard,and logic(see other post) At my age ,learning piano doesn't appeal to me. Difficult .(tho' electric does sound nice) Thanks tho'

[quote name='derrenleepoole' post='714343' date='Jan 15 2010, 09:10 PM']Air guitar! Nothing is more neighbour friendly than that!!!!!!!! Thumb piano? Banjo? Electric violin?[/quote] Done the air guitar,back in my headbanging days. Banjo? too loud Violin? mmmmmmmm(thinking)

Howdy! I was thinking on and off to myself wether it's time to learn another instrument. The drawback is that I live in a 1st flr maisonnette. This means that, wind instruments such as trumpets ,clarinets are out. I like the look of those electronic drums( rubber?) ,but I'm not sure if that'll work. Even the triangle wouldn't work Any ideas??

Howdy! I have the above ,and am determined to put it to good use. I'm gonna be using the book 'Logic pro8 creating and producing professional music' by David Nahmani. Now ,I'm no professional (nor will I be) . I'm a semi-beginner. The thoughts and questions I have are :Why do all these recording interfaces involve graphs? (years ago, in the day of audiocassette,peak meters were the way forward.Simples!) Is it better to go to a course instead,on a 1-1 basis? Work /tiredness/laziness gets in the way,and I keep stop/starting. I'm a simple lad, 4 strings ,sometimes 5 . Effects sometimes,and an amp. Of course ,I'm using a mac mini ,which Logic is on ,but thats as technical as it gets.. Cheers
