Been on this one too, Cam!

The link you sent doesn't show anything about Goose Creek or Goose Creek Orchestra. I'm not signed up with Facebook, MySpace et al, perhaps that's why?

Have found the band (I think) but it appeared to be an audience recording. I got the D start, but.......

I'm sure wlbaye will help you, if not, post a link.

Gosh darn it yeah Micky (is "Hell" swearing here???),

It depends what instrumentation you've got and whether you can get that to a broadcastable medium i.e. Stereo CD.

If you own one of these "workstation" keyboards that can make all sorts of different sounds - piano, organ, bass, horns, woodwind, percussion (including drumkits) and make all of these types of sound including noodles, thwacks and tweets simultaneously AND record MIDI sequences then you can record the output of this keyboard onto a stereo medium (CD or similar). Some of these workstations now have audio recording and these and some of the MIDI only ones have a built in CD burner.

MIDI sequences are the recording of note information to tell a MIDI equipped instrument/noise maker what noise to make at what pitch for how long all within a time frame as if you were recording sound. Computer software like Logic, Pro-Tools, Cubase, Sonar, etc allow you to record MIDI and Audio together so your computer will record the notes to tell the keyboard/sound source what to play which can in turn be recorded onto the computer for burning as an audio CD

If you have a recording device and instruments you only need 2 inputs but you may need more tracks to which you can record; more inputs = more instruments all playing at the same time - so you would need a mixer with a band to play all the parts together if you were only recording to stereo.

Workstation Keyboards go up from about £350, upwards of £500 is getting serious.

If this is for practice go for it. If this is for making money go for it but pay your dues. MU membership costs £125 (you get insurance thrown in too!)

Your French is excellent.

Where I have an excellent vocab of nouns, my conjunctions sont tres merd; I still can't make past and future tense easily but I can make myself understood and can communicate about a lot of subjects (primarily to (rather than from) the French teachers that stay here).

Yours I understood everything you said perfectly - better than my ability.

So let's hear more about those French songs that became hits in the English language that Bowie/Brel link was cool as mustard!!! :-)

Les Rouges et Les Ors, KajiMa.

Salud StranSongs (Chasons Etranger?),

J'adore France et francais. C'est mon deuxieme Langue. Mais je n'ai qu'une seule chanson en Francais.

J'ai trois en Kernuak/Breton!

J'ecrire <<..c'est bien pour les musiciens Francais..>> C'est vraiment!!! Aussi j'ai treuve le plupart de francais apprecient la musique en direct, plus que les Anglais.

(Je ne suis pas Anglais, je suis Britannique)

I needed help with "I have but one," "most" and "live music," all other mistakes entirely my own.

A bien tot!

And the edit was for a spelling msiatke.

Hey Micky,

I know this song and can help (it's going round my head as I write). Oh ma' lads......

I don't know the legalities of posting traditional (non copyrightable) lyrics, so just E-mail 'em to me and I'll get back with something that (hopefully) makes sense.

Why- aye, man!

Sorry Alvee,

I Uggard Bup.

I was trying to look clever and swing to a prog one of my discoveries was in; he's been in loads and loads of stuff, but checking his biog for this it was only a 1 or 2 episode part and it was made a lot more of when it was impending - must be a good agent.

Mackie HR 824s are flat (within 1.5dB) from all the way up at 22.5KHz way down to 39Hz - thats flatter than the Netherlands, East Anglia and the salt flats of the US combined!!!

Anyway, in the mix, 60Hz is Kick energy, Bass Guitar energy is higher. If you're being recorded, the engineer/prod might have put a (not too) low cut filter on the Mic/Preamp/DI/etc. Don't forget your £15/$30 computer speakers which have probably dropped off 3, 5 even 10 dB by 100Hz will still let you hear the lower bass and the even lower kick.

DON'T MONITOR TOO LOUD - This will irrepairably damage your hearing; same with being both sides of the stage and Discos. It breaks down to whether you want to do what it takes to make you sound brilliant or get someone in (at some point) to make you sound brilliant for you.

Take care of your hearing!

Perhaps not right!

Thanks Pix,

Just wanted to see how it was done.

Murrasta why!

Hey Crowellb,

I can relate to that "Same concept as gardening...we just use a bigger hoe!" LOL

Not as big here but going up and down with a chain harrow towed by a crusty old tractor is rather Zen, problems disappear as you try and hold the line and not be distracted by the wildlife or the beauty of the countryside.

Can't grow much tho' 'cept brambles, hawthorns and grass. No, not that kind but for hay and haylage.

Altho' we're in the heart of the Westcountry (a quarter of a mile or less and you can look down on Glastonbury Tor) we're a thousand feet up and our growing season starts a month after places less than 3 miles away and finishes a month earlier, so by the time you've started to get things going they are harvesting, then ours die from cold.

We do get wonderful mushrooms in September/October.... and of all varieties... so people tell me!
