Hi Rick, No thanks, they are probably best left in my long distant dark past, cheers anyway
let a third party ( rickyb ) have a go at your songs
you might be pleasantly supprised..and what have you got to loose
most people are hypocritical of their own stuff anyway...but if someone wants
to do them....go for it
AND........why is alcohol legal???? ( apart from no one dare make it illegal )
the whole thing seems hypocritical
Hey Polyal,, I Vote you Genius of the Forum,
thanks for that...but most of it is out of the manual
But the break up is still their. I now its down to some thing with the computer
from the manual:
You're nearly ready to start making music with REAPER! Before you do, though, you should take a few moments to read this section, which deals with the not uncommon problem of unwanted pops and clicks being heard when you play back your music. This is a computer issue rather than a REAPER specific issue, and is generally less likely to occur with a Mac than with a PC.
If you encounter the sound of unwanted pops and clicks when you play back a song in REAPER, then most probably all it means is that your audio device settings are not right for your computer. As a quick fix, try adjusting the block size (Preferences, Audio, Device), starting at 128 and working up thru, 256, 512, 768 or 1012 to find the lowest setting for your system at which you can play back your music without any pops or clicks getting in the way
If you do encounter this problem, you should also read Chapter 19.4 to learn more about this topic.
so:
raising the buffer size ( increasing the latency ) will probably sort the breaking up of the audio
the only prob is ..if you monitor directly off the computer..you will start to get a slight delay
( latency ) which will frustrate your playing...but you must get the buffer size right first
not familiar with your set up. but basically the first thing is to get the sound you want..
then record at a non clipping level....this should be attainable by adjusting the input gain to
your DAW ( ie record level )most DAW's have a mixer record channel strip ..so turn the incoming signal
down here ...if the guitar modules have output attenuation ( volume ) back them off
a bit also ( not to be confused with input levels )
looking at the manual you can definately turn down the incoming signal via reapers record
channel strip...but try to lose a bit coming from your guitar set up first
dont forget once you have got your guitar sound right DON'T adjust any inputs to your
guit setup
from the manual
TIP: Many models within POD Farm 2 are capable of adding a significant amount of gain to your input
signal, such as amps, distortions, compressors, etc. When using these type of models it is advised to adjust their individual “volume” and “gain” knobs to avoid boosting the output signal too high. Watch the Master Output meter and make sure it never indicates clipping. The Master Output knob can also be used to fine tune the POD Farm 2 main output level.
'drugs' in themselves can be very beneficial if used correctly ( when needed ) . but lets face it.. in the case of alcohol the only way to get shitfaced is have a bellyful of it ..so while you're being the ' life and soul of the party' ..your liver is going bright yellow...and if you smoke pot..your lungs are going black (apart from killing off a few million brain cells to boot )
there is a guideline (LOL!) for safe amounts of alcohol but who wants to sit there with an egg cup full of lager all night
i think pot is the lesser of two evils...but you cant beat a few lagers ( IMO )
......and while the government is trying to suppress joe bloggs last few pleasures..why don't they tax the shit out of chocolate/biscuits/cakes/crisps/junk food or anything that causes obesity..which leads to premature death via heart attacks and strokes
they could put on a all the above mentioned:
.....EATING THIS IN EXCESS CAN TURN YOU INTO A LUMP OF LARD AND KILL YOU
anyway when i've had my sausage,egg,chips,beans and pudding ..i'm off to the pub for a bucketful,,
and sod the exercise i'll go in the car
thats one of the reasons the conservatives got elected....2million idol f***ckers voted for them
knowing there would be "no jobs" before long
true story:
after this out of work geezer beat this gay up for offering him a blow job...his mate said
" what did you beat him up for? " he said ....."because he said something about a job"
i would got the other way and have no cover on the neck pickup ( matching the bridge p/up )
blimey...that looks the biz ......how much££££££££££££££
youtube is the next best thing to ale
re:summer69 ....the ' B ' should be Bm
was going to buy....but FFsake its £20 postage...rip off
for that dosh i'd expect the seller to deliver personally on his f*ckin hand and knees
and play me magee f** may in D#maj f*** 7 while telling me what the painting was all
about.... FFs...i wonder what picasso's preferred guitar to paint all his shit on would have been
i guess a chinese copy of a taiwan rip off of a home made 5 string strat
could you please rephrase the question its a bit vaque ??
the only trouble with cheap tuners is the accuracy ...the ones mentioned ( link )
are +- 5% ( check it out ) ...really you need better than 2%...i should bear this in mind even if its
extra dosh...happy shopping

http://www.metronomeonline.com/
this has got 'A'=440 tone also...its online...and its free
this is easier to explain verbally but:
if this is your gear list ( plus your gits footpedals and processors etc )
1 mic
1 di box
cd player
synth
then on your mixer you would assign
ch1 to mic
ch2 to di box
ch3/4 cd player ( 3=L 4=R )
ch5/6 synth if stereo ( 5=L 6=R )
ch 7/8 could be for the computer playback ( say cubase ).....stereo again
the mixer should have at least 1 subgroub ( as opposed to the main o/p's )
the subgroup goes straight to the computer i/p ( record )
so if you want to record your git via an amp and mic....set the levels on ch 1 ..route the
signal to the subgroup ...it will automatically go to the DAW waiting to be recorded
any channel routed to the subgroup will be available for recording
when you play the computer back it will go through ch 7/8 ..through the main o/p's to
your monitors
any recording/playback senario can be achieved via the mixer
the whole point is....you can have an infinite amount of instruments
and sound modules at your disposal ( depending on your mixer ).....and once you've set it up thats it..no more plugging unplugging
etc
a good starting point for a mixer
is a 12.4.2 ie 12 inputs.. 4 subgroups ...stereo o/p
when using a sequencer always decide on a tempo for your new song ( bpm )
and set the project to this tempo
use the metronome ( or drum track ) when recording ( rock/pop )for tight timing
so cutting and pasting can be seamless
my biggest tip though to any beginner would be to get a decent mixer as the hub of your recording system this is how all pro studios operate...all that happened when daws came on the scene
was they replaced ( or run parallel with ) multi track recorders..so serious studios always have a mixer as the focal point
if there's anything you need to know..just post
there is also loads of tuition/info etc on youtube..theres hardly anything that
isn't covered
its worth bearing in mind that different people work in different ways ( more than one way to skin a cat )....so if somebody does it different to how you would do it ..its just
different not wrong ( and visa versa )
so if you write your first no.1 doing the music first..then lyrics followed by a well
constructed backing..a tremendous mix and pristine mastering..followed by well
organised distribution and air play etc...........
and mister angry writes his first no.1 kicking shit out of his guitar..you're both winners
i get rid of hiss ( or any noise ) using soundforge...it has a noise reduction plugin
that my daw ( sx3 ) doesn't have
ie if i have a take thats too noisy i import it into soundforge...process it ..then
import back into SX3
....your daw might have a noise reduction plug in ???
SX3 is ancient now
the ' thicker ' the sounds ..the harder it is to layer them and get any separation
dont have all your guitar sounds too bassy ( this is where all the ' mud ' is )
filtering the bottom end ( lower frequencies )is a good start to blending tracks
and try to give each part a different sound ( esp frequency range )
i only use humbuckers for recording because in my environment single coil p/ups are to prone
to noise
check out youtube for more in depth

how do you react when you hit a bum note

i can think of a lot better ways to spend 16,613.27p
what about a fret of hendrix's burnt out strat
or an odour eater out of one of JC's flip flops

the s40 are a good choice
pick / fingers ...practice both.. plenty of info on youtube
know what you mean buying new..........
just remember your monitors are "transparent" ( flat response ) and should not colour the sound in any way
so what your'e hearing through them is the sound you're creating..thats the whole point of
them...your monitors wont particularly make things sound better..they will just give you a true representation of the sound your system is generating...so if if its a crap patch...it will
sound crap if its a brilliant patch ..it will sound brilliant etc etc
either way.. you've definitely made the right move for better and more accurate recordings
nice one...mine were 179 but they were B stock....i dont think you'll get any cheaper
new..but check these out
