haven't posted here for a while,
trying to be a good citizen and help the most folks by staying on the
mag, but what with several album projects going right now, my wife and I
both having medical procedures, and my load of students, I've decided to
get off midimag and stay off for a while.
So Tom, Sandy, Ramy, I haven't even checked who all is here, Meagan,
Omar, Ross, Roy, I'll be
putting a little more energy here, and of course the folks that seem to
take great delight in throwing rocks at me aren't here.
yeh i know, do I want some cheese with that wine.
But maybe it's time to buckle down even more and get some work done.
We've got our own album which just lacks a few songs being done, but
I've had the pleasure of working on some wonderful albums this year,
like our good friend Gudrun, what a treat, I wish we could all go back
and live in the 1300s but take modern plumbing and our recording
machines with us 'grin'.
Stephie is learning flute, and I'm learning mandolin nd used it on my
first track last week.
We bought some new instruments, treated ourselves to a flute, a mandolin
and a cat gutt guitar 'grin'.
there's just so certain times you need some cat gutts in your music.
and Nothing else will do.
I've been playing with reason, and our good friend and giant brained roy
is 3 jumps ahead of me as usual 'grin'.
Reason has a lot of promise, even for us more traditional
instrumentalists, and it can be made to work with sonar quite nicely
through rewire.
We've just got to figure out how to activate the rewire extra channels,
I've been cheating by dumping down tracks and re-inserting the same synth.
But there's a little something for everyone there, and in the demo you
can't save your songs but that doesn't matter if you use it with sonar.
Things tend to work best with xp of course, and or 32 bit w7 next in
line, and all the issues so far are always with w7 64 bit since it's
still green in the conservative studio environment where we're always
the last to upgrade, I tend to use lots of older plug-ins that are just
great and why loose great tools as long as these fast machines will run
them.
But time does march on, and fixes will hapen eventually.
Ok, off to bed for me, just thought I'd pop my head in here.
And update everybody,
So the few of you here that are on the mag either write me here or
privately.
Blessings everybody.
Chris and Stephie Belle.
