2/1/05 Dawn of a new month. Yay. WARNING: VENTING ABOUT WORK!!! Mixed 5 bands at work tonight. Some of them were OK, but none of them were great. A couple of them kinda sucked. All of them were too loud. It was, for the most part, garage-band roc... [Read More]

I didn't realize that you weren't a mod anymore. You'll just have to find some free image-host server so that you can link to them. Or get in touch with Nitro... he claims to have server space to spare.... [Read More]

I used Finale in college, but I never got very good at it. It was actually too powerful for the amount of music writing that I needed to do, so I ended up doing most of my charts and lead-sheets out by hand. My written notation was actually very good... [Read More]

Kewl. I have an ancient copy of Cubase that records multi. But the editing options once you've tracked are almost nil. I guess I could export an individual track into Sound Forge... but that would suck. So I mostly use it as a sequencer... or would,... [Read More]

1/28/05 Yup, it's a freakin' mess... now it's stupid cold, too. I didn't feel like leaving the house today, so I didn't. Anything that I really have to get done can wait until it warms up and melts-down. Nothing's too inportant that I can't put i... [Read More]

I dunno... stick a volume pedal in between the booster and the amp is all I can think of. Or a compressor/ limiter pedal. Actually the compressor might be the more elegant solution. That way you can set it not to alter the normal signal coming from... [Read More]

Huh. Never heard that. I can't imagine it's true... there has to be an analog gain stage in there before the A-to-D converters... and even if there isn't people overload digital gear every day. I know I do. Digital distortion (as opposed to digit... [Read More]

RE: Footswitch - Yes. But it's noisy, so I don't use it. But since it's part of the Princeton Reverb I have, I won't get rid of it (the amp is an original from '65) A certain amout of hiss is to be expected with vacuum tubes,.. but if it's really ex... [Read More]
