[quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='776584' date='Mar 16 2010, 06:56 PM']I'm used to mastering a stereo mix, but how can you remix if you only have the (I assume stereo) CD master? Not being funny, just curious.[/quote] By adding extra tracks and cutting up the stereo master, moving stuff around.......

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='776420' date='Mar 16 2010, 04:46 PM']I remember doing an orchestral course with the cellist Christopher Bunting many years ago & he had the opinion that the enharmonic sharp should sound that little bit sharper to emphasise the key and vice versa with the flats in such cases.[/quote] Not all that easy on fretted instruments....bending strings will only mange to sharpen the notes

To be honest we hated the recording. Recently we spent a lot of studio time remastering and remixing (sort of - the 24 track masters were destroyed in a fire in 1991 so we only had the CD master to work from) this for rerelease. It is far more the record we originally wanted to make now. Perhaps one or two of you might like to buy it? LOL no not you lot never....anyway no harm in asking.

[quote name='Doddy' post='776372' date='Mar 16 2010, 03:57 PM']but this tune is in E major not C# minor.[/quote] but they are the same key (tonally) there is no difference. Emaj = C#minor

[quote name='Doddy' post='776372' date='Mar 16 2010, 03:57 PM']The 3rd in C#major is always E#. The 4th is F#,and you don't have both an F and an F# in a major scale. It's nothing to do with playing piano or not. The theory is the same every instrument.[/quote] Having never been formally trained I'm obviously not tied to these whacky conventions that name notes according to the key being played.....as far as I'm concerned the 3rd fret on the D string and the white note to the left of the 3 black notes is an F irrespective of which key is being played and E# is a semitone higher than E and in my mind will always be F irrespective of which key is being played.

[quote name='Doddy' post='776360' date='Mar 16 2010, 03:46 PM']Same note enharmonically-different function technically.[/quote] but the same note all the same... So the 3rd in C#maj is E# not F? it'll always be F to me...maybe it's because I was brought up on piano... My initial post was merely pointing out that although 4#s key signature denotes Emajor, it also denotes C#minor... that is all

[quote name='Doddy' post='776346' date='Mar 16 2010, 03:28 PM']What was so funny about my post?[/quote] your assertion that the notes were the SAME but DIFFERENT just seemed a bit desperate to me how can notes be [i]the same note enharmonically,but they are technically very different. [/i]? Either they are the same note or they are not.

[quote name='Doddy' post='776198' date='Mar 16 2010, 01:00 PM']They may be the same note enharmonically,but they are technically very different.[/quote] pmsl

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='775841' date='Mar 15 2010, 11:16 PM']Heh! If you can find the raised 7th (B#) in "I'm too sexy", I'll give you that one![/quote] B#=C :smoke:

[quote name='OutToPlayJazz' post='774216' date='Mar 14 2010, 12:05 PM']The sharps at the start of the line denote the key of E Major.[/quote] [quote name='Doddy' post='774402' date='Mar 14 2010, 04:12 PM']In this piece we are in E,[/quote] C# minor anyone? and why not?

grafiti is vandalism

My #1 tip would be SLOW DOWN.... now I've never heard you play but I guarantee that inexperience and nerves will result in either you or the drummer getting into a 'race' to the end of the set....LOL Take it steady IT IS NOT A RACE!

Normally we've requested the promotor to supply a long list of specifics..... Easyjet's excess baggage charges prohibit taking backline with us.

Hi I am in Watford I play bass in Sad Lovers & Giants ( have been likened to Joy Division at times ). I have facilities to create backing tracks (Sonar 7 producer and various bits of kit ) Which songs do you need backing tracks to and is it just the keyboard parts? I [i]might[/i] be able to assist.....but will be pushed for time tbh

ASIO is merely the type of driver that is used in your soundcard. If you are experiencing dropouts the best way to avoid these is to increase the size of your I/O buffer. IN ASIO mode this must be done in the ASIO control panel for your soundcard not from within Sonar. Obviously latency may suffer as the buffer gets bigger. AT 44100kHz and 16bit a buffer I generally use a buffer size of 1024 without too much latency resulting.

I went in my loft and although I didn't find any vintage Fenders I did find: [list]A crappy old kay p-bass which I thought I'd taken down the tip 2 full seasons of Leeds United programs from 1974-5 and 1975-6 - strange as I support Sunderland and have never been anywhere near Elland Road ??? [/list]
