  1. This: [video:youtube] my favourite cover after All Along the Watchtower This one isn't necessarily better than the original but it's an invitation to discover one of the greatest unknown bands Klaatu [video:youtube] vs. [video:youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9URM_5R-vWk
  2. Camelot Pro has been promising audio plugins on IOS but that's late now..... need a Mainstage style solution for IOS
  3. and the equivalent in French "Merde" "The history of "merde" begins in 19th-century Paris, when patrons of the Paris Opéra Ballet would arrive at the Palais Garnier in horse-drawn carriages. If there was a full house, there was sure to be a lot of horse manure in front of the theater. Saying "merde" became a way to tell your fellow dancers to have a good show for the packed audience. According to Rhodes-Stevens, "When dancers say 'merde' to one another, they are wishing each other a full and approving audience.""
  4. I agree, the advantage of one channel per string is any pitch bend on one string won't affect the others, With JO one must watch that. I like mixing in a bit of raw guitar with the percussive sounds, helps blur the latency and improve the feel.
  5. I am quite blown away by this software, obviously a clean playing style is necessary and some synths/patches are more compatible than others. If you haven't seen it, Paul Bielotowitcz' demo is just unbelieveable. I will be working on integrating it into a hybrid rig so that I can use real tubes, some modeling and midi guitar... just need Nembrini to also make IOS stuff. Bringing my ipad to NAMM, should be fun.
  6. Bobro, Dave...thanks! I am overwhelmed at how prog is alive and the power of the internet when it comes to music outside the mainstream. While the suits pound the masses into submission with I-VIII-II progressions http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/wink.gif "la Resistance" covertly keeps the good stuff from disappearing (regardless of genre). So the message to anyone who isn't sure whether to follow their heart or follow their accountant is to go for it. btw, the link is www.hamadryadmusic.com hamadryad was taken. oh yes and, Bobro, thanks for the suggestion but my username is Sys-ex guy not Sy-sex guy (at least here, this is musicplayer not adult friend finder http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/biggrin.gif ) LOL Back to keyboards, here's a few tidbits about the keys on the album - all keys were recorded as audio, not midi - the organ was a C3 and was recorded to ADAT with 2 AT 4033's on top and a GT AM52 on the low rotor. The AT's were turned slightly off axis to control the growl of the moving air. - the synth sound that closes "The Second Round, Part II" is not a synth at all. It is the main vocal, copied and processed with Wave Mechanics Pitchblender (a truly amazing plug-in that is somewhere on every cut) - the synthish intro "eternal loop" is guitar feedback through three separate instances of Pitchblender. The tone that closes the intro before the pitch out (that sounds like guitar feedback) is a hot tea kettle resonating. -the bass pedals are a pair of real Moog Taurus pedals. One of them had a B flat that wouldn't stay in tune that luckily was fixed with Wave Mechanics pitch doctor. FYI, Autotune claims that V3 now also will handle bass. We also had some clips and dirty pot noise that magically disappeared with the help of Amp Farm (a Bassman through "BIG cab"). -the Mellotrons were the Pinder CD through a ESI-32 + mucho plug-ins while the piano was a QS and the classical card in mono. -a minimoog handled the synth solos while an XP-80 did all the pads and effects All comments are most welcome.

  8. Here's some stuff recorded at my studio. I would welcome all comments. "Conservation of Mass" from the Montreal progressive rock band "Hamadryad" was recorded, mixed and co-produced by yours truly and since its launch last month, is receiving rave reviews from prog sites all over the world. Their homepage is www.hamadryadmusic.com This album blends 70's symphonic progressive ( Moogs, Mellotrons, 12 strings and B3) with a dash of prog-metal guitars. Samples are also available at www.mp3.com/hamadryad If you prefer more relaxing music, check out www.patrickbernard.com This Algerian born new age multi-instrumentalist sings in Sanskrit. The album "Sublime Relaxation" was tracked and mixed by me! and I even make a cameo on slightly distorted slide guitar. Andy
