Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

Don't talk about things you are doing because no one is really interested. Get your stuff done, post it and then go out and do it live with a real band, with real musicians.

Only then will the gainest the highest of respects from vems real musiskians. Tho you have lifted thems sprits no one really karesis cuz vemsis knowsis all fings and you don't knows naffink.

3 Parts of the musical machine I promised I would build some months ago are now built. (Thought I'd better add musical!). Cu vems chippy is loik vems rivers in vems forists. Deep! Waters run deep vems waters.

Funny innit? You never get to know people until you get to know them.
Met some good people here but it ain't half as good as meetin realz people.

Lesson to Chippy part 5 complete! Oh frig! What is it doing now! Soz gotta Rush~!

See yah!

I care Chippy. But I can help if,n I dont know what your askin.

I know you do.
Something hit me today as large as a house brick. No matter, I'll continue building quietly. Something I've always done really. If I don't have a means then I'll create a doorway to the means and so on.

Seriously though its good to feel alive and getting something done. So many years in the backwaters aren't good for your health let alone anything else.

Just droned by a good accident is all. Thanks Sans.
Please keep writing, going forward.

Chippy.

I got no other choice Chippy, got a long way to go foreward and I aint never turnin back.

Well to be totally honest today I've just about given up on this. I think using a Tascam or similar is way easier than using PC software for recording Audio (REAL INSTRUMENTS).

I've tried several things overnight, hooked up, unhooked, changed software settings, re-changed software settings, checked drivers.

Bloody nora and people say PC recording is cheating on occasion? I'm leaving it for a while now, there is a real world out there. Probably something simple and right under my nose. Just haven't got the head on to look any more.

Chow.

You know I have been fighting the recording dragon myself for quite some time. Without thousands of dollars to throw at equipment or studio time, it seems a losing battle.
The search contiunes however, and life moves ever onward.

HAHAHA

Dude, I LOATHE recording software. It's more complicated than it needs to be. It's full of digital noise and compression. If your PC has a memory dump or HDD load during recording, it can affect the recording itself.. etc..

I use a Tascam DP-01 digital recorder. It cost me $299 new, more than two years ago. Less than most software, and it's good enough to do simple demos.

Add a $150 drum machine (I used the Boss dr-3) and you got 10x better drums / metronome and a cleaner recording. Period.

ANY recording you need better than that should be done in an actual studio with a real sound engineer and producer, anyways.

Phew just cracked it. Took a bit of staring at it for a while. I needed to make a software adjustment but it looks as though I'm good to go now.

I tell you and kid you not. Yesterday I laboured for about 7 hours non stop on a new project only to find each track had dubbed the next and so on. Complete and utter waste of time but at least I still have it.

Yeah I thought about that last night Kramer. If you know your parts then Tascam is the way to go. I saw one at the Flear market yesterday, saw two or three in fact.

I need a beer now!

Thanks for putting up with my ranting. Back on course but still taking a break from this thing I think.

Cheers.

Chippy.

Ugh!!!
I did it again. Did not leave everything as it was and screwed up! Got it all back up and running again.

What is better? Explaining to someone that this piece goes like this and finding out they are not interested at all OR Sodding around with cables, switches and software all day before you get something done?

Much better however. Hardly any midi so I don't have to muck about trying to make voices seem like instruments.

Now then which strings did my cat bite and break on the twelve?
