tenthplanet Posted October 14, 2001 Share Posted October 14, 2001 Since this seems to be the pizza thread. Out here in L.A. there is a place in Westwood that does make N.Y. pizza with water from Brooklyn it is pretty good. Pizzeria Uno from Chicago was also good but they were franchises and are no longer around (DARN). Some of the Wolfgang Puck/Spago woodfired pizzas are excellent. Chicago style pizza is the best(if you can find it.) THE ONE THING OUT HERE THAT NOBODYS UNDERSTANDS IS BREAD FOR HOAGIES/SUBS. I USUALLY HAVE TO BRING IT BACK FROM THE EAST. Oh well.... Q:What do you call a truck with nothing in the bed,nothing on the hitch, and room for more than three people in the cab? A:"A car".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillW Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Originally posted by SWBuck1074@aol.com: Michael W. Smith, one of my faves. He's the Contemporary Christian music parallel to Elton or Billy, although not quite as proficient as a player. (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about that last part!) About 5 years ago I sang in a choir that backed up Michael W. Smith in a Christmas concert at the Kiel Center in St. Louis. I was sitting about 10 feet from the guy as he played and trust me, he is every bit as proficient as EJ or BJ. Listen to his albums "Christmas", "I'll Lead You Home" and "The Acoustic Set". When his piano work is not cluttered up with thick synths and guitars you can hear how well he plays. Nice guy, too, as several of us found out after the show when we walked passed his tour bus and he's sitting on the steps tossing Coca-Cola's to the singers as we walked by....

Bucktunes Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Hey, Bill! Long time no speak! http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Thanks for setting me straight about MWS. Apparently he prefers to go for taste and understatement on his CD's. I actually like the arrangements of his tunes, especially on I'll Lead You Home. The strings on Trilogy are particularly impressive. I haven't seen the other two CD's you mentioned. I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper. BTW, if you don't yet have his Worship CD, go get it! Between the choir and the audience, there's some serious goosebump-inducing moments on it. Powerful stuff, especially with all that's happening now. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Peace all, Steve ><> Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 I'm primarily a guitarist, but I've been one of four guys carrying a Hammond up stairs in my day. I always thought that the reason guys surrounded themselves with different keyboards was because you couldn't store sounds in the old days. Wakeman had three moogs cos he had a different sound on each one, right? At any rate, I don't see why anyone would need more than two boards in this day and age. Seems like a weighted board on the bottom and unweighted on top would cover any base for a live show. More than that and you're just trying to be a drummer with an octa-plus 13 drum kit. On the other topic, I heard of a blind water tasting competition once and of all the bottled water available, NYC tap water came in like second overall. The last time I passed through I was thinking about that and just had a big drink out of a fountain in JFK airport. It really is good! -David http://www.garageband.com/artist/MichaelangelosMuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I passed through I was thinking about that and just had a big drink out of a fountain in JFK airport. It really is good! NYC water is pumped in from the Catskill Mountains.

EZB Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 Great topic. I'm right in the midst of modifying my project studio-ish setup to be more mobile, and am wrestling with this very question. I have an EX5 in my studio that I also gig with, and need a second keyboard surface and at least one more sound engine. Currently, I've been hauling my wonderful-feeling, ball-busting Kurzweil Midiboard to gigs, which is NOT the answer. I'm trying to decide between a lightweight controller coupled with one or more rack modules, vs. an all-in-one keyboard-based synth. The points made here are exactly what I am wrestling with. (Coincidentally, I'll be financing this via sale of my Matrix-12.) Like many others, I wish I could get more inspired to tweak modules. I always thought it was just me who couldn't deal with the ergonomics--at least I have company! Though lack of surface area for knobs is part of the problem, it seems that there could be more studio furniture out there that got rack gear more in your face. There are keyboard stands that have a small (e.g., 4U) rack strip, but they don't tear down easily. Some sort of keyboard stand that had a detachable medium-duty 4U box would be cool.

Powerful stuff, especially with all that's happening now. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Yo, Steve-o! Yep, those 2 seem to be hard to find. "Christmas" mid-90's vintage, and being seasonal, doesn't show up often. His rearrangement of "Gloria" is awesome. Got my copy through the BMG CD club. "The Acoustic Set" might have been a promotional thing that only came out when the instrumental "Freedom" album showed up, it's just MWS on piano & acoustic guitar, another guitarist, percussion & vocals. Sort of an acoustic greatest hits thing with some marvelous piano playing very much in the Billy Joel style. Haven't heard all of "Worship" yet, but the praise & worship band I'm in at church has been working on 3 songs from the album, "Forever", "Above All" and "Breath". Taught the congregation "Forever" last Sunday and by the evening service, they were rockin'! We had to be different, though. The drummer was busier than on the album and I used a Mellotron string sound on the chorus. Cool stuff, indeed.

I am totally sure you'll regret it. I have one, and having played most synths of the last 20 years, I believe nothing can replace the Matrix.

JingleJungle Posted October 20, 2001 Share Posted October 20, 2001 Slightly offtopic but not quite so... Check put this "active" MIDI patchbay at http://www.dacs-audio.co.uk/prod03.htm 10 channel patchbay, looks like an audio patchbay (you patch from one channel to the next via normal phone plugs - your midi connex are on the back) and, according to DACS, it theoretically allows you *infinite* midi thru daisy-chaining. Power is derived from MIDI but you can add an external 5 volt PSU. Methinks it would be a great addition to your wall of modules, both live and in studio....

robmix Posted October 21, 2001 Share Posted October 21, 2001 For me it all comes down to space. Once you've got more than ten synths it's fairly impractical to have all keyboards and no modules. I'd need a warehouse at this point if I didn't go for the rack options. 30 synths currently, 6 of which are keyboards. This rig has been condensed from about 50 synths, 12 of which were keyboards.

Rob http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/eek.gif How do you keep track of all this? I recently condensed my setup of 4 keyboards and 3 modules to 2 keyboards and 3 modules since I thought it was too much and was creating a creative block. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Got any pics of the studio? I finally changed my approach to keep one 88 key controller, and one 61 key controller, and that's it. I keep all the modules on the side so I have easy access to their front panels. Less clutter is good.
