Any Musicians Out There??

**vanity** · 11-25-2003, 01:12 AM

In a band?

do any recording?

I'm a guitarist and I do alot of recording in my home studio.

I guess this thread could be used to talk about gear, studios etc...

**firestorm** · 11-25-2003, 03:12 AM

I like to sing does that count as a musician?

**david** · 11-25-2003, 03:44 AM

- not a band member but I guess you could say, I will be writing for a band and adding creative input.

- Most instruments

- Have a degree in Recording Arts and Sciences

I can vouch for David. he played the guitar for me on the phone. He plays well too. I'd hire him for a party.

**djrx06** · 11-25-2003, 05:40 AM

I DJ.

I also have a studio in my apartment. I do some production when time permits. I work 9 to 5 so when time permits I am working on music. Most of the time I DJ though. I am working on getting a gig on the beach. I spin Tech House.

I played professionally for 11 years, but gave it up for a more stable family life. I still get to use my creative juices being a designer/goldsmith. I play drums and was the lead singer.....no real recording other than with background tracks. You can still hear some of my recordings on the local station now and again(i have friends over there).

Dj djs ...

a gig on the beach ... very cool! Come to Alberta and you could do a few ski hills during the cool winter months.

What kind of studio do you have in your apartment DJ?

**Mudge** · 11-25-2003, 08:08 AM

Wanted to do the band thing, but the music I listen to is so obscure it would be somewhat of a sacrafice to try for, and everything kept falling through.

**Mudge** · 11-25-2003, 01:22 PM

Fruity Loops seems somewhat popular. Anything I like doing I can do with Cool Edit Pro

**Mudge** · 11-25-2003, 01:49 PM

Nothing fancy, I used to dream of thousands of dollars of fancy equipment and processing crap, but I just would mic my cab for any work I did.

I never even got a 4 track, but what I really wanted was an 8 track portable.

I dont play much nowdays but have been picking it up more frequently at least, have been going to shows again which helps.

**djrx06** · 11-25-2003, 01:50 PM

Vanity/NT.....I use Acid, Sound Forge, Fruity Loops, Rebirth, Reason, Cakewalk, Cubase, etc. I have alot of audio programs. My old roomate used to have an entire set up at our old house. I recommend Reason 2.5. It is out of control. It is a full blown studio on your computer. Does it get any better than that?? Probably the real thing but why spend all the money when you can save some bucks and produce the same quality???

Other than that I have my tables set up against my Window over looking the beach so everytime I spin, I open the blinds and enjoy the view.

It's uplifting, and quite a view.

I play guitar and bass. Also, a little trombone and piano. I planned on going to Berkely College Of Music, but was always afraid of being poor for the rest of my life. I'm hoping to get something together in the near future. I really miss performing!!!

I do too! I would love to get something together again.
Although, unfortunately, Giggin' isn't ideal for one's family life.

**Rissole** · 11-25-2003, 03:17 PM

I play bass in our church band, i get to play most Sundays 3x in front of at least 400 people. Our band aint little either. We got a brass section 2 keyboards, lead,rythem and accoustic guitars, percussion.....

We recorded a live cd (11 tracks) about 8 weeks ago and its due to be released this Sunday

This is another reason I didn't go the music route. Always wanted to have a family.

**Rissole** · 11-25-2003, 08:25 PM

if you keep working out, soon you'll be able to play with your shirt off. You'll have the church ladies swooning.

when is your Didgeridoo rock opera CD coming out ?

funny you should say that V....
I got in trouble once for playing with a shirt on that "hugged" my arms

They said it was too much of a distraction

Didges are only good for bongs....

David: what style of music does the band your involved with play?

The play alternative/Rock.

But I'm doing a project involving a score for an independent film. Also, songwriting in general for them soon!

My taste in composition ranges from broadway all the way to Metal. Nice range, huh?

Everything but Opera, Bluegrass, Jazz and
Speed/Death metal <<=== although I'm capable of performing it!

Instruments:

Guitar
Bass (Basic)
Drums (Basic)
Piano (I suppose it's the same category as Keyboard!)
Vocals

I forgot to mention. I don't read music, also. Learned by ear for guitar. took lessons in Piano and Violin.

Why thank you, FS!

I thought I played shitty that night!

But, once we do our demo, I would be glad to send you a copy!

**Mudge** · 11-26-2003, 10:38 AM

I read tab, I can't read sheet music. I used to play drums in 4th grade but I forgot how to read all that stuff.

**Var** · 11-26-2003, 03:13 PM

Morbid Angel? I LOVED that band when I was in high school!!!

Fall From Grace is some good death metal.

**Randy** · 11-26-2003, 04:07 PM

I can make some awsome sounds with chopsticks (will that work?)

**Mudge** · 11-26-2003, 04:18 PM

Mudge: I could see you playing drums for morbid angel.

I never played on a full set (well), it was regular band stuff. I knew how to read notes, so I'd either play a big bass, or whatever during school events. The one time in high school I tried a full drum kit with a single bass, I was horrid. It really is not easy like it looks

I like a wide range of music going from one extreme to another.

Recently , I 've been fiddling around with Electro-acoustic kinda stuff.

Kinda like William Orbit? (Producer of Madonna's previous album, Ray of light)

I love sounds that emanate from a keyboard. I prefer Kurzweil's and Roland's.... kick ass! But on a lower end, Yamaha's PSR versions ($300 range) are great, too!

I remember that one song... "God of Emptiness" ??

"Bow to me faithfully... bow to me splendidly........"

Where is "The Great Satan" when you need him!

LMAO!!!

**Randy** · 11-26-2003, 10:56 PM

The Great Satan is busy in his phone sex thread

**TheGreatSatan** · 11-27-2003, 01:00 AM

I hear Jonwell plays the skin flute.
