New here :) This is actually the first thing I post... But I thought I'd share this since I think it's exactly what you're looking for. There's a Drum plugin called BFD (well, now it's actually BFD2 but I have the old version)

They've recorded all sort of drum kits (modern and vintage) and organized them in a nice plugin you can access trhough midi. And for each volume number they've made different recordings, so if you hit soft or strong you'll hear the difference.

I've been using if for all my home recordings and I'm very happy with how it sounds. I'm using it with Logic Audio, but it should work with most Audio editing programs...

Hello

Cool Edit Pro is a great recording program and free, i use 1.2 for mastering and multi-tracking. Its extremely basic and easy to use. Also i recommend Rhythm Rascal which is a pretty basic drum program where you can add your own drum sounds and edit the loose and evenness of the playing. I think i paid $10 and have never been disappointed.

good luck

kel ;D

Rest In Peace.He was a great player.

So Apple bought Lala and then discontinued it, and what did they replace it with? They added a music-oriented social network to iTunes called Ping (in iTunes 10). And from what I can tell, it's lame as hell (although I have yet to dig very deep). Anyone else checked this out yet?

Bring back Lala, dammit!

Here's a tentative schedule: http://blogs.pitch.com/wayward/2010/08/last_day_to_rsvp_for_scion_gar.php

Ha! Ask a lawyer.

Hey ev'rybody.

I'm very new here but have loved the podcasts for a while. Hence I want to try my hand at doing one myself. I have a lot of good music from podsafe but I have a lot of classic stuff I want to play too (Monks, Sonics, Screamin' Jay possibly). I have all this stuff on Cd and iTunes so would it be illegal slap those up there?

Many thanks,

Fashdad.

Anyone heard this fucker yet? It's supposed to be different from his usual stuff, I love pretty much everything he's done so I'm looking forward to hearing what he's come up with this time. And according to his website he's looking to come over to the UK. Which is nice.

It would be tough to make out a top 5. but "Paint It, Black" will always be number one because when the girls walk by in their summer clothes I too have to turn my head until the darkness goes.

Aww c'mon....theres gotta be a couple that you really really Dig!!!!

ah! lemme start by saying the stones are my favorite band. ever.

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heart Breaker) off of Goat's Head Soup is one of my many favorites. It seems like I'm relatively alone with this one, but it oozes trash to me.

Top five Stones tracks 1. Child of the Moon - allways loved it since i was little 2. Sing this song altogether ( see what Happens) - love it because there is a lot going on. 3. Everybody Needs somebody to Love - I love the almost reggae bass line at one point 4. Empty Heart - sooooooo catchy 5. 2120 South Michegan Ave - a great instrumental.

Citadel - a great track from "Their Satanic Majestys Request" 1967. ratoonie said:

does anyone remeber ...cidadel..off of "Her magetrys Secret Request"....??????

It is very likely Pete Townshend played bass on it. He played bass for Thunderclap Newman another Track Records/ Action Managment project from the same era. He used the pseudonym "Bijou Drains" with Newman. Gunther Toody said:

I can't tell you how much Arthur Brown and that first album mean to me...THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN was one of the first 10 albums I ever bought as a kid. There was an article with great color pics of Arthur live in EYE magazine and the cool colorful cover of the LP and that was all my adolescent mind needed to invest my saved lunch money in what has to be the most psychedelic 60's rock record with no guitar on it. Vincent Crane was amazing and the weird strings and horns that pop in occasionally are really cool. Anybody else hear the rumor that Pete Townsend played the bass in a last minute time crunch? And does anybody else think that Deep Purple's Ian Gillian kinda ripped off Arthur's distintive screamin' technique? Which is rarer...the Atlantic issues or the Track issues?

Yes, there was a CD re-issue on Polydor that had the original a-side in mono with slight but noticable differences in some of the tracks and were a little longer, then the entire album in stereo. It sounds really good. ratoonie said:

Dont really Know what is rarer:....my friend had a copy of Fire on a 45.... Atlantic,......I've had 2 copys of the Clown-star album...... both were cut-outs & both were on Track...
has any of his stuff been re-issued on CD??????

Silvertones, Danelectros, Kawais, Teiscos, Kays, etc.
I love looking at vintage instruments and sharing pictures :)
HERE'S MINE! :D

well,thank you!

Well...I haven´t seen the movie...but here what the critics and fans say http://www.flixster.com/movie/who-do-you-love#lsrc:GSR-HEAD-SearchSubmit

Great thanks for that. I think will go for a 50W solid state combo and if the FOH needs more add in a DI. Cheers. Dan Danger said:

The maximum wattage on a guitar amp is a little more important than that of a bass amp. Guitarists like power tube distortion, and ass such need to run their amp at near maximum volume to get "tone" out of them. Many bassists either want no distortion, or use a pedal to get their sound.
That said, a head an 4X10 may still be a bit too aggressive for the situation, but a 50 watt combo with a single twelve-inch speaker would probably work quite well. And if you can beg/borrow/steal an Ampeg portaflex with a single twelve-inch speaker, you'll be in heaven.

Here is a vid with instructions for some Dances. There is a good DVD (Twist by Ron Mann) about the history of dances. I like it a lot.

This is a great discussion by the way. I was reading in my local paper (for Vashon, WA) that they cancelled the high school prom due to low ticket sales. Why low ticket sales? Because the school banned grinding, which isn't even dancing as far as I'm concerened. I can't understand how it is that kids can't learn real dancing, even Washington DC go go styles. I'm starting to think that watching Shindig and Hullabaloo should be a school requirement.


As long as it isn't "Hootenany."
