Who here is a musician?

[growin']

I've been playing guitar for about 13 years now, singing for about 3. Played in bands in college. Trying to get something together at the moment.

I'm learning how to play guitar with tabs...

Electronic musician here. and no I don't just press buttons, presto instant dancefloor smasher .

I write 98% jungle/drumnbass. the other 2% can't be classified. some rap beats but i get bored easily writing rap beats.

I've uploaded 2 tunes in rough copy still (no level checks or processing on sounds elements) check it out if you have the time.

TUNES

yeah yeah yeah... I named one of them 'enanthate' will change the name... most skinny junglists don't know any better anyways.

 

[growin']

I only had time to check out enanthate, sounds pretty good to me. I have been wanting to get some electronic toys to make up some drum and bass lines up. Just trying to make some backup music to jam to, and maybe help me write tunes. Any suggestions on quality/budget equipment to get started?

Keep twangin' away, it becomes addicting

 

[BigDdaGanjalist]

thanks man.

Nowadays it's mostly all about software.

Logic Audio Platinum 5, Cubase SX, Reason 2.0... those are the s/w to watch out for.


If you're just looking for a drum machine sort of thing, I'd suggest to dowload Reason by Proppellerheads, or Fruity Loops 3.
The drum machine in Reason is better than FL3 imo, but the FL3 one is easier to get the hang of, drag and drop.

I have been playing guitar for 15 years and bass for 5 years
I was with a band called PV, we recorded 2 tapes and a cd in a professional studio, you can search for our songs on morphius or kazaa, if you dont find the songs keep searchng cause it is out there, currently I am looking for a band but I have been taking my time

Few weeks ago i go into one my uni jazz choirs called the 'ADELAIDE CONNECTION'. Some of you in Australia may have heard of them... they have one of the best reputation choirs in Australia.

Nice to see we muscle heads are staying well rounded!

 

[Thaibox]

Guitar for almost ten years. In a crappy but fun metal band after high school for a while.

 

[c-sharp minor]

I've been playing guitar for about 18yrs now. I played in bands for 10 years and then settled down and got a stinkin' day job. I used to teach for a while too.

I'm into stuff like Yngwie, Impellitteri, Vinnie Moore, Gary Moore, Tony Macalpine, Paul Gilbert, Stratovarius, etc....

Yngwie, Impellitteri, Vinnie Moore, Gary Moore, Tony Macalpine, Paul Gilbert, Stratovarius

HAHA, I remember when I was learning guitar those guys used to dominate the pages of Guitar World. What a blast from the past! I was a big Steve Vai fan, used to watch the end of Crossroads over and over again.

You ever see the Metal Method videos?

 

[c-sharp minor]

LOL @ growin! Yeah, I remember those videos! the dude's name was Mark something. Then he snagged Jim Gillette from Nitro to do some vocal videos. Supposedly gillette had a 4 octave range, but his voice sounded like shit, heh.


Actuall Impellitteri has a new cd out and it's pretty good. I'm not a big fan of Graham Bonnet's voice though.

I suck as a musician, but I am a great gearhead (music gear, that is).

whoa, nice studio guy. 'nuff gear.
I can't deal with all those wires, gotta keep my shit software based, with maybe an added hardware sampler (emu6400) and an outboard synth something like a Virus, love that sound.

ez.

If and when I learn the production side (imaking beats, etc.) of the business, my albums will chart fo sho in the BB Top 200.
