  1. Damn, Just no way I can go right now. Hope you find someone!
  2. Well….. they do come that way when I’ve purchased them. They just aren’t capable of keeping it together over the long run. And I don’t have time to manage them and myself. It is there fault!
  3. Makes me laugh. We were learning the police song, truth hits everybody. Mangled most of the lyrics. you make me happy like a broken oyster. I’m waiting Tuesday till my eyes will fall i lie there sleeping like an open dolly i step outside myself and felt so cold…
  4. The US is still part of that Earth that is doing all of the polluting. It still will affect the earth and the US. We also are second at using energy, much of which is still oil and coal. But back to your original post. No, I don't want to strangle a girl who stands up and speaks about what she believes in, even in jest, over and over... even if I disagreed with her.
  5. And looking a bit spritely...
  6. Love George Carlin. A scientist he is not. Also, How many years ago was this. The situation has changed. Whether you believe it or not.
  7. No we ALL would not. She has to live in this world after I am gone. She has every right to expect it to be in a livable condition.
  8. Should be my theme song. I grew up a chicken farmer!
  9. I heard it was rising up the charts but it was just too hard to stay there..
  10. Just curious, digital or physical drawings, or photoshop? Either way, pretty damn awesome!
  11. 😀 Is there any sonic gain?😆
  12. That was good timing posting that when you did…
  13. NOT that her playing is bad, it just isn't wall shaking and taking advantage of the instrument.
  14. Not the way she is playing it....
  15. I don't know what to say about this... Scratch that, I don't know what to say first.
  16. Saw ELP in Mobile Alabama in 1977 second concert of my life
  17. You can't have one without the other....
  18. In a nutshell, (which means I am the nut sometimes) Mixing is what you are doing in garageband trying to make all the instruments and vocals sound good together. Mastering is when you try to make the songs on the album sound good together. For example, You don't want one song to be quiet and then the next blast out much louder. I sometimes still use the term mastering a bit wrong. Habits. You can set things up to do some processing on the whole song using what is called the "Master" track. Look in the tracks menu. You can put a compressor, limiter, reverb or other effects on that track and it affects the entire song. It can be very useful to get a better overall sound and balance for the song. You can also do something similiar after the song is mixed down to the stereo track using an audio editor and those same plug ins like compressor, limiter etc. Like I said in another thread. It is another rabbit hole to go down. But a fun one.
  19. My song "Systems in Place" was created by my Hamer Prototype II. It was the beginning aspiration of this song so I thought it was the best choice to submit. I had just bought it for my 50th birthday. was noodling and recording and made the simple opening rythym track and put a small change part in. It was my first guitar with a decent tremelo system so I wanted to play with the tremelo. I recorded a jam solo over the rythym track using as much wild bending as I could. Parts of it I liked, parts of the solo sucked. So, why not make it a song. Added a bass track and drum track using Drums on Demand apple loops. And left it there for a few years. Started listening again and thought I should put lyrics and was dealing with frustration at work because of stupid people in charge. You probably know how it is. Things are working well, we should think of a better way. Nope we have our ways of doing things. Can't change. Systems in Place Then I thought about the mental state of avoiding what we need to do. System in Place We have systems of avoidance we use in our life methods of madness to limit our strife With pre-planned procedures of simplistic scope limits our thinking and ways we can cope We have systems in place We have systems in place you build up defenses like building up walls You don't take the chances you won't take the fall Don't peak out your window or crack open your door You won't reach your limit, Can't take anymore We have systems in place We have systems in place Worked on the song off on on for years but never liked the drum track. Then logic came out with their new Drummer Tracks and I decided to try them out and decided I liked it. It felt like a Peart who beleieved in Off-time rythyms. 😉 All guitar tracks are my 1984 Hamer Prototype II. The bass is my 83 Cruise bass. Drum is the logic drummer and vocals are me. Recorded and mixed in Logic Pro. The guitar amps are all Amplitube 3 and 4. I did some mastering in Adobe audition using T-Racks 5 and Izotope software a few years ago when I decide to finnally put out an album and mastered or tried to master all my songs for the album.
  20. I had hoped to make a video history but life got in the way. Maybe I will post some of what I had going. The photobucket change really fucked up my plans. Oh well, This is a great story.
