  1. Hi Lee.  Thanks for all that you do. I can't log in. I'm a 73 year old computer ignoramus who can provide you with my IP address if needed.  Miss posting to my thread!  Be well and happy. Mark B.

     

  2. Cool. I have an original BOSS CS-1. I love it for guitar of course but... as a secret weapon? On bass! It sort of slices things off at around 80Hz maybe, so it's not good as a track compressor. But as a solo boost and girth enhancement (think Extenz for Bass) it is mind blowing. It always gave the impression that I just sort of made my bass stand out for 8 bars with some finger trickery. A seriously great sound. BUT!!!! Your idea of parallel processing changes everything, Why didn't I think of that. I'm going to pretend I did. This is going to make my next bass track bitchen!
  3. That is a cool idea. Will be trying it on my current tune
  4. Not to generalize, but I just watched the Olympic parade and the Greeks were pretty strong in the looks department. The Italians...maybe, maybe not. Ha! Well... there's that...
  5. The question is over-generalized bull{censored}, but.... Precisely why I gave an over-generalized bull{censored} answer. But yeah, Ram, you make a great point. The Greeks had many cities situated from from each other and not sharing all that much is common with what the stereotypical view of them is.
  6. The Romans prided themselves on conquering and ruling. Then, wanting to tie all the conquests together. All roads lead to Rome. You know what they say about the Roman roads. Very well made. So they were doers. They appropriated things as their own. Even the Roman gods were "borrowed" from the Greeks via the Iliad. The Greeks, on the other hand, made many discoveries and were as a result well versed in mathematics, geometry, astronomy. The Romans used all those discoveries. Used them. Doers. The Romans built aqueducts, dams, roads, bridges, architecture. Much of this doer mentality of the Romans was facilitated by the discoveries of the Greeks. The Romans were realists, the Greeks, dreamers. A Roman statue of a leader has a big nose, the Greek version would be idealized view of that leader. And a pretty nose.
  7. Is this done? http://www.youtube.com/user/KnightLee1#p/a/u/2/unYVVt8LPhk
  8. I did an impression of Elvis Costello after hearing his brand new album My Aim is True. I thought the guy was a joke from the cover photo till we put the album on. Whoa. What's this... My band buddies urged me to cover Angels cause I sort of sounded like him. So I started singing in a cover band. I must've been 17. But Costello completely grabbed my imagination. I transcribed all his song lyrics my best and created a short hand for vocal inflections and taught myself to sing that whole album. But those songs... those lyrics... maybe I could.. So I started trying.
  9. Really great photos. Congrats on such esteemed praise as well. That's got to be very gratifying. I love the Monks in particular. The way you've captured that famous robe color with their facial expressions. Just so captivating and a twist on the more common "monk photos" I've seen. You've got a good eye for seeing things others miss. Really nice.
  10. The deal with a 57 is you're going to get pops pretty easy so be sure you use your wind screen / popper stopper. I have cut guide vocals with a 57 and a wind screen, not eating the mic, say... 4" off, and have kept them because the guide rocked. I've never wanted for a better sound when that happed. A 57 can sound great on a rock vocal. Bear in mind a 57 has a bump around 4k. Lots of voices sound great with that boost. Some don't. Just be aware of it. The SM7 is a better choice but the 57 can rock assuming the 4k works in your favor.
  11. Is there anyone out there who knows how to operate a Digidesign 003 Interface? I'm having a problem getting it to go in "record mode". it keeps saying that no tracks are "enabled" I guess my question is this, how do you enable the tracks? I'm using Pro Tools LE 8 I have the manual, but it's not very clear. The manufacturer (digidesign) only gives you "one month" of telephone support! After that, they want you to purchase "support" for $249! Unbelievable! Help, Clarino the.lemons@comcast.net It can be a bit confusing starting out with PT. Pardon if this is too rudimentary for you. It wasn't for me the first time in PT. Create a track in PT In that track assign an input (AnalogMic1) Plug a mic into that input (Mic1) Click the little "R" on the software track (channel strip) you created in PT You should now see your meter jumping about if you clap your hands. Click the record button on the transport window. That's the one with the play, stop, etc. icons. The record button is the one with the round dot. It should now be red. Click play and start screaming like a banshee!!!
  12. I agree with you. But it's strange... I don't see my interpretation as literal at all. The mention of NASA and space travel... no, no. It was only mentioned because this was a hot topic at the time. It is NOT about that. The image is symbolic, made more powerful because of it. That's all. I agree with you. Like a song today let's say, that is about "forgetting the poor". And the term bail out is used. That's going to strike a chord today. It's going to get you in the gut as you listen. It means something given the context of the day. But the song isn't about Corporate Bailout. Maybe the song is about making sure we remember the little guy. The little girl crying in the park. It's just an image that wields more power, that resonates, given the era it was released.
  13. I don't thing it's a direct slang, no. But if someone said, "that guy's on the moon" that's how I'd take it. Or, "they've all gone to the moon". That would read, "Mama, they're all crazy" to me.
