Hi Geo,
Well done on this...You've been holding back on us I see. I toured your Soundclick and listened to your other tunes.
Runaway_Mae is another good one you should post up.How'd you come up with Busted Pink Jesus for a band name. Very Cool indeedy.
Keep at itKenny
Thanks Kenny. I'm a big fan of your stuff. I have a give a lot of credit to my collaboration partner he polishes the turds!!!!!! I write 'em and they usually don't come out pretty on the first go 'round!
Not sure how "Busted Pink Jesus" came about...I know Pink Jesus is slang for heroin; I guess it just sounded cool, though I'm no fan of heroin....

That's a tough thing to go thru no matter how many times you do it. We lost our Mastiff, wow 2 years ago now. He went really quick. Within two weeks he went from being fine to passing. He was only 8. Our thoughs are with you Zurf, and Ivy too.
Geo, if you are a dog lover you WILL get another one sooner or later. Ours was our first "baby". When he passed I told my wife the same thing as you. I won't get another so I don't have to go thru losing one again. But this past year I have been looking for a new puppy. So, never say never.
You're probably right...this girl is just the best I've ever owned and I've had a bunch. I just can't imagine topping this girl...but you're probably right.....

Re: Time (12 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I feel your pain. We're in a similar situation with my lab. She is "my only daughter" and she's getting along. It seems to happen so fast. She used to full of energy but now just wants to lay in the sun. She chase a ball once maybe twice where she used to play for hours. I told my wife she is the last dog we'll ever own as she was by far the best I've had the pleasure to own. It's always amazing how emotional a pet can make you feel. For me it's dogs, and mine's living her last months I fear as well.

Zurf,
I am not sure if you control your humidity or not , but I've found humidity and temp changes my biggest enemies in trying to keep my guitars in top shape. My solid wood guitars are affected way more than my laminate guitars but they all go out of tune with our humidity problems here. My Martin guitar usually starts buzzing on the G string when it starts drying out. I have a humidifier near my guitars now and that has taken care of my dry guitar issue. Winters seem to be hard on guitars , when we are heating our homes.
Good luck,
+1 on Wayne's advice. I live in the Northeast and this is the worst year I can remember for dry conditions. I've got buzzing and dead spots on just about all the hollowbodies I own. Those little humidifiers are supposed to help. For 10 or 15 dollars you coudl that a go. Cheaper than a set up that will just need to be done again in a couple months. Usually my old Yamaha is impervious to climate chanegs but even old faithful is "feeling it". I wouldn't panic, it's probably just the weather.

Re: I need help replacing an acoustic pickguard. (3 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I used a product called "Goo Gone" but I was concerned about the finish...nothing noticable. It's citrus based product. Nail Polish is acetone isn't it? That didn't damage it? Whatever you end up with do it as quickly as you can and thoroughly wash it afterwards. I tested the Goo Gone on another crappier guitar I had lying around first...if you have the means I'd recommend that too!!!

If you want to record drums and also jam sessions, you may find two inputs restricting. To mic up drums successfully you may nbeed to use a couple of mics. Also you can get some nice effects by using a DI for an accoustic guitar and also mic at the same time. This way you can blend the sounds to get some different tones and add some depth. If you are jamming with a friend then you would deffinately want more than two inputs. Probably 2 mics, and a couple of DI's for the instruments. Also you may want to plan for more expansive requirements in the near future. No need to buy equipment twice, thats a costly exersize.
For all of the above reasons I recommend more than two iputs with your device.
Another thing to consider is latency. The best way to combat this si to ensure that you have fast communication between your hardware and your pc. Especially when recording multiple streams and using plugins or VST i's. The fastest is USB2 very closely followed by firewire, USB1 is outdated technology and should be avoided ( apologies to those who still use USB1 hardware
My personal set up is with an Alesis Multimix8 USB2.0 it provides me with 8 inputs ( 4 stereo and 4 mono), mic phantom power on 4 of the inpouts, built in effects, eq on every channel, send and receive on all channels, main out, control room out, line out, headphones out. It is flawless and acts as a good mixer as well as soundcard. I can take it and gig with it.
I am sure there are many such beasts out there that would be as good as this one, but I hope this gives you some idea of what to look for.
This is all good advice as well. I was thinking this was a first foray into recording thing so I was trying to keep it budget friendly. By all means if you have the money, get as much as you can. But if you have 2 guitars and 1 microphone for equipment, some of this would be overkill. It can be fun with no interface. When I started I used my sound card only and that worked for a spell as well. Again, these are all valid points but don't buy the sports car for your 14th birthday and walk before you run.....

Re: recording interface for computer (25 replies, posted in Recording)
They made it black....looks like the same animal to me. I use this; there are dozens that do the same thing I'm sure. I would recommend getting one with phantom power and the potential for 2 inputs....and black I guess?

Re: 1 4 5 progression (14 replies, posted in Music theory)
Soem one with way more knowledge will expand on this but as my simple brain understands it:
potential notes in scale are A B C D E F G.
So in the Key of C: chords would be C F G
In the key if A: A D E
I'm quite sure there's a bit more to it than that. With theory, I'm like a little kid with a gun. I know just enough to cause a horrific accident!!!!!!!!

As they say it's all "downhill" from here. I, too, am entering the back nine of life (I consider the top of the hill to be 40 (and even that's pushing it)). Mortality is a concept I now knowingly ignore. It's the only way to save some semblance of sanity.
