Musician Forum - Band Discussion Board - BandMix

I'm currently looking for musicians and vocalist in Memphis, Germantown, Raleigh,TN and Southaven, Olive Branch, MS. If you or someone you know lives in these areas and is ready to work. Give me a call. This is not a robot. Search "Ready" under bands on BM and get info and updates.

Still having fun and still looking for players and vocaleses to jam with. Check out my style by listening to my new song "sunny n cool" on my BM profile page "Ready". More on the way. Stay with me.

Happy Holidays to you all. Be sure you check out my profile "Ready" to hear my tune "sun & cool". Its just a sample of what I can do with the help of good musicians and vocalese. Come jam with me in Soulsville USA. Jeff is waiting now for your call. Thanks again.

No waaaaaay......you did that with a "Band"?????

How did you get a band to sound like a $100 Casio playing to 1980 Alesis SR-16 drum machine?

Sir, could you check out RG Mix and me doing some music together? think you will like it? it is a pass around track so feel free to add a killer Abraham Laboriel style bass line to it if you desire.. keyboards too need added.. and maybe a flute

Maybe it's one of the original Boss Dr Rhythm machines? I bought a used 1st gen one around 1985 for $30. Found it in a box of old gear a few years ago, put it on ebay and sold it for $20! The last time I had hooked it up (around 1997) the main cymbal sound had fizzed badly, not that the non-sampled sounds were all that good to start out with. What a PITA that was to work with - you had to program each measure, 1 at a time (select from a small set of single-measure loops, or create your own), but for a songwriter in the mid-80s that had just quit his band, it was a good tool. Somewhere I've got cassettes of a few song demos using it - it was so time-consuming to program, I only used it a few times, but I venture to think they sounded much like NOTready's tune (I had a $79 Casio at the time!)

maybe the logic of making very lo-fi recordings is for people to not want to steal them? that's what I was thinking, but people complain, and I had to break out the DAW again.. for just passing around musical ideas I see that as far as lo-fi, a musician with "real ears" should be able to hear if the musical idea will work or not.. when it's ready, take it to a $80.00 an hour pro studio?

I must admit planetguy, I got a good laugh out of your cartoon you put together..THANK-YOU!

I'm here all week.

Awww... You shouldn't have. You really shouldn't have. In case you didnt recognize them, these characters are my get along gang from my other forum "Ready, busy and back for more"on general chat. Thanks for the support guys(stop embarrassing me) lol

PS...I don't own a drum machine or a Casio keyboard. Sorry.
