Do you need separate email addresses to do this? I only have a personal account so I don't know.

6 sounded like it had more sustain I don't doubt that I used the sustain pedal more on that take.. It was one of the last takes - and it's possible I was sub-consciously getting more confident about being able to avoid pedal noise. Ever since I started recording, my pedal technique has changed dramatically. I use to stomp on the thing - and constantly use the soft pedal to move the hammers over to create a different tone. Now, I never touch the soft pedal and the sustain pedal never hits bottom. In fact, now the damper head moves as little as possible - I'm just about at the point where I don't have to think about it any more. I wish I had an acoustic piano, no room! The piano patches in my Casio Privia PX-5S are pretty good and the pedal works well. Just isn't the same though.

I liked 5 and 6, were all these with no sustain pedal? Nope - lot's 'o sustain pedal. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that question.. If you listen to some my first attempts to record the thing, the pedal noise is deafening. 5 AND 6, huh? but if you had to pick?.. Come 'on. Put up your vote! 6 sounded like it had more sustain

That's just a typical broadcast turntable for playback! "But the star piece in the system is perhaps the original Rek-O-Kut recording device, a professional two-speed (78 or 33-1/3 RPM) turntable with microphone inputs that could transfer mono recordings onto acetate discs. The devices were common in radio stations of the era, and the Rek-O-Kut brand was revered for its precision engineering"

I started watching the Netflix series "Narcos" about Pablo Escabar. It really hits home how huge and violent the cocaine trade was/is. It just made me sad for every kid who, before he/she takes that first snort of cocaine, doesn't think that behind that powder is so much murder and corruption, along with a substance that is incredibly addictive and life destroying. Thats the strange thing about dope, when i was a kid, i smoked weed for a couple years straight, then i started to forget things, and finally said "F-this, What? oh yeah, I remembered what you just said

I see kids getting killed by heroin every day, the epidemic on Cape Cod is so bad it's making national news.

The thing that turns me down nowadays from playing in a band is the live playing situation (maybe it's the same in europe and US). You need Facebook clicks more than talent to get gigs. In my area (south east Massachusetts) you have to play what the youth wants to hear, which is all dance crap and this new genre where the singer talks rather than singing. So there's all these 50 + year old guys trying to impress kids. It's a joke. I'm trying to start up a dinner music project doing Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr

I taught myself Piano very quickly after being a Bassist for several years, I took to it naturally at around the age of 30. Knowing theory and being able to stretch definitely helped. If you can do a Cm9 on the Bass you can do it on the Piano.

This is just some stupid word playing but did you notice "Hendrix" rhymes with "Kendrick"? Speaking of breakthrough talents in the '60s vs. the '10s. Hendrick Motorsports!

Not to look for rage, but were Led Zeppelin not the over confident show boaters of their time? Is their glammy, highly visual, double necked guitars and thrashed hotel room persona that far removed from the swagalicious rap game of the 2010 era? I don't think so. John Lennon didn't either - he was apparently totally unimpressed seeing them live with his son. Page did way too many drugs and was sloppy in live performances because of it. he tends to have a raw, unfiltered tone even in the studio.

My original post here was in regard to their "sound" very different than today's bands. All vintage gear does have an impact on that. You can buy all these modern analog or tube units but unless you're going onto tape the end result won't be the same. IMO - "tape" is not the main defining factor. Style and production techniques, players all in the room together, arranging styles, microphone bleed, restricted track count, no DAW "fixing", the "headspace" of the musicians of that era and lack of LFAC's - all combined - make far more of a difference than "tape". Because projects recorded to tape in 2015 don't sound like those records either. So.....IMO, tape is not the sole defining difference. This is a much more complex issue than throwing "tape" or any other gear based equation at the problem... There's no question that all the bands of yesterday had a completely different aura about it. Less production is definitely one of them. The Beatles first album was recorded in a day if I remember correctly. Their music had a signature warmth to it.

I imagine that everyone here will hate this, but let's see what y'all think. The guitarist is also the singer. Playing some insane stuff while singing/screaming over it. tonycamphd , does this have any swag or just garbage. P.S. Country guys should take cover. I call that sound "thrash." I have a disability: I can't thrash. As soon as someone's voice or guitar turns into white noise, I immediately loose interest and the groove, the note, to me it's not a pleasant sound. It just turns me off. A lot of my friends are into it though, it's certainly a popular sound right now. I generally like this kind of stuff but in this case there's that high pitched "something" in the mix I found agitating, maybe a guitar with a Parapedal? Oops I quoted the wrong person, shoulda been aimed at jcoutu1

Ughhhh. Im sorry but the whole idea of "the musicianship of yesterday has been replaced by pro tools tricks and gimmics" is nothing but ignorant BS! You're not looking in the right places. DIG DEEPER! Dream Theater is proof that some newer bands kick total ass.

Gaga was pretty good, she coulda held that last note a little longer though Connick had a nice tone but lacked power, Macfarlane is just a monster, that guy can sing! Connic was disappointing. I expected more and I agree that his voice lacked power and depth. I wonder that he was a bit under the weather. Macfarlane was tops; Gaga was good. There were some others with decent voices that otherwise ruined it with their contemporary melisma's/licks, which were completely out of touch with the genre. It was cool listening to the original arrangements by Riddle and others. It looked like Zac Brown had a hard time hitting some of those "Frank" notes. He covered my favorite Sinatra song.

I am getting old. What I bought is a license of melodyne uno. If you want it PM me and we do the transfer… Thanks mrholmes . Transfer worked beautifully, I purchased an upgrade from Uno to Editor, and now I'm fully operational and used it on a session yesterday. Thanks a million! Editor is what I have, still learning but I like it so far.

I remember reading people getting the midi to work with their daws on the 324s but it was a little wonky. I have a small dream of owning a gsr24 someday. Just above my budgrt right now though. I remember hearing that too, I'm just not talented enough to know what I'm doing. I do have a Roland Ume-One adapter I use with a Korg synth as my MIDI keyboard, maybe I'll plug it into the console and see what happens
