Hello my people. We have now taken Degicank corporation nationwide which I am very proud of. We are a universal company as you know, and we all play a significant role. This is not only a planetary media, but rather ones that transends into parellell a universe(it goes where we go and where the people around degicank go).
I want to get to my point here, often times I tend to fall off of the subject at hand and maybe dabble a little too far into another realm of thought. But folks I would like to step up and really enter the next year with the right degicankian tools for recording music. I have spoke with James about pro-tools and do not know much about it. I am recording on tape right now and that is pretty good (I like the raw, spontaneous and uncut results that it provides, but I am collecting too many tapes and they are difficult to organize. I would like to add my G3 to my music studio and add protools to it, and maybe it will give me some kick ass recordings out of it.
So maybe somebody out there can help me figure this out.
On another related note, I have been practicing Chuck Berry's "Johnny B Goode" for about 3 weeks straight now. I can't stop playing it, really I think I may need help! But I have it down pretty well! It is a very exciting song to play and even sing to. I should figure out a way to set myself up on YouTube or something. I would love for you to here it. Maybe we could get together (planet 22, and jam on that one together)
Alright.....to bigger and better things ahead my friends...keep on cank'in.

how can i get my music up on this forum? I have gotta ton of tapes that I need to root through and select what is good and then I would like to compile them into my 2006 greatest hits album. So far I have 3 solid covers under my belt with some variations of a few more.
My song list right now is:
All your love, Otis Rush High Society, Otis Rush Johnny B Goode, Chuck Berry
(Still working) Blues at sunrise, Albert King Tore Down, Eric Clapton
Any one have any good ideas how I can start recording without tape cassettes at an affordable price?

Well protools is pretty good, bt expensive. I'm fairly certain you could user your mac hardware you currently have and some free software to record audio. your problem is going to be gettin your stuff onto the internet. email would be good, you can email me and joe your stuff and we'll get it on the internet for you. Bob Moblie(SP) would probably be a great resource for you and would probably be able get you hooked up with some free software. as far as im concerned the hardware you have should be good for recording cd quality stereo audio. you just need a the cables and the software. You can also upload to the degicak anonymous ftp server (search this forum for details). Here's some links that may be helpful for mac recording: www.download.com/3000-20-10213094.html?part=undefined&subj=dl&tag=button"><img src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/dl/dl-bta.gif" alt="Get it from CNET Download.com!" border="0" www.download.com/Ambrosia-Software/3260-20_4-51206.htmlwww.download.com/Jasmine/3000-2182_4-10280941.html?tag=lst-4-3www.download.com/Kumulipo/3260-20_4-75611.htmlwww.download.com/sort/3120-2003_4-0-1-4.html?qt=audio+recorder&ca=2003Download Now Add to my Watch List (What's this?)

So Bill, I can just download some of this free software (from my work PC), save it onto disk and bring home to my Mac and install there? Then I record what ever I want (traditionally, through a mic out of my amp, and take that audio recording and somehow play it or feed it into this program somehow, therefore converting the audio into some sort of a wave file?

yep. by getting the appropriate software and cables, you'll be able to record directly onto your computer providing that you have enough hard disk space.
Now that i think about it I think OS10 comes with a sound recorder. Possibly called quicktime which will be able to record from the microphone or audio input jack which i beleive comes with OS10. Dependant upon what time of audio inputs you have on the back of your computer you'll be able to record with a microphone or a line out jack.
once you get to that part we'll talk about getting the data onto the internet.
but you'll probably want to record in wave format and then rip into mp3 format for the internet. either that or if you have a cd burner somewhere and you can get your data to it you can burn directly to redbook audio format so you can just pop it into a cd player and jam out.
most likely your recording program will record to some sort of wave format or mp3 or pcm or somthing like that.
if you can get everything setup correctly you'll be able to record right to your hard drive like an old time tape recorder.

Yeah but here me out on something...I want to maintain the integrity of the sound that my amplifier gives me. So what I am asking is, is there a way to go from my guitar, to my amp, to a microphone, to this software on my computer in that order. I am trying to avoid recording directly into my computer.

Post by Bill on Nov 2, 2006 17:55:37 GMT -5
yeah you would just use the microphone input port on your computer and tell your recording software to utilize the correct port if necessary.
for example, the bluberry powermac G3 that I have sitting by my desk here has a microphone input port on the back. its uses a standard sized headphone jack. so what you would do is take your microphone and set it in front of your amp. then plug the mic into the back of the computer. you may need to use an adaptor. then fireup your computer and the recording sofware and make sure your getting a signal and record. if your able to record you may want to do some expirementing and move the microphone around, or plug your computer directly into the the output port of your amp.

You should record yourself saying "you know how it feels to be hurt" , "you know what its like to be hurt" , " i hate that"... remember that one?

Yo Kinder! If you have OSX, then use Garage Band. I believe it comes with OSX...I know it is at least on a lot of the recent macs. A lot of people really love this program because it is so easy to use...and it would deffinitely be the next step in recording for you. I'm not saying it is a route you would want to take, but you could always start using "bit torrent" to get the programs you need. Type in Bit Torrent in google and start reading about it. Do a lot of research, your gonna have to figure that one out on your own. A pirate never tells another pirate how to act. Also, I lost all the contacts in my phone, but I live in Philly now so it is completely rediculous that we have not met up! Email me: Kelleher@degivisuals.com with your phone# and then I can give you a call. We will be in the city tonight for first friday, so maybe if you are around we can meet up. You can get my phone number from my website www.degivisuals.com in the contacts section as well. Peace! Chris

Thanks for the useful information. I willl try to step out of my cave and into the state of technology for the future of degi.
Is anybody interested in playing a couple songs? I need a drummer, a bass player, a horn player would be good to. I want to experiment with a few musicians and start by jamming out on Johnny B Goode and see how it goes. I have been doing nothing but playing that song over and over again for 3 weeks. I've got it sounding real good, I just wish I had the rest of the band to fill it in.
Please reply if you would like to get down.

"Why does love have to be so Complicated?" Eric Clapton (perhaps Derek and the Dominoes)
Hot Jam, You should play that one for three years!!!
What's up Kinder? Good to see you back on the board!

Back in the 21st century with my new sound toy!
I just picked this baby up for just under 300 beaners.
Zoom MRS802BCD MultiTrak Recording Studio with CDR/RW
Product Description Just in case you thought the ZOOM guys forgot about you creative types that are long on talent but a little short on cash… WELL WE GOTCHA COVERED!!! The new ZOOM MRS802 Series Hard Disk Recorders put 8 tracks of Hard Drive recording in your hands and still leave you some cash for gas. The MRS-802 features 8 recording tracks with 10 virtual takes per track (2 channels simultaneous recording), 24-bit converters/44.1 sampling rate, 120 hours of recording time on a huge 40GB internal hard drive, 190 editable guitar-vocal-and mastering effects, a fully programmable drum machine with ZOOM’s exclusive "FAST" song programmer and 43 drum kits loaded with hundreds of studio quality drum and percussion sounds. Both of the 802's two input channels provide an XLR balanced mic and 1/4 in. unbalanced input, switchable 48volt phantom power for condenser mics, one 1/4 in. guitar/bass input, front panel headphone output with volume control, MIDI I/O for external sync or to import SMFs to control the drum machine, Scrub/Preview function for super easy editing and punch In/Punch Out, automated "Scene" recall (100 scenes per song) for easy song setup, a "Loop" function to create phrase loops and Time Stretch/Compression for matching loops with different BPM, and a large easy-to-read backlit LCD screen with full metering. The optional USB-2 interface comes complete with Audio File Manager software (Windows and MAC OS) for linking with DAW software and importing or exporting data in WAV/AIFF formats. The MRS-802CD with built-in CD-R/RW burner allows you to create CD’s in either multi-track or "Album" format.
Features: 8 digital recording tracks
10 virtual takes per track
40 GB Hard Drive
Programmable drum machine
Extensive bank of effects for instruments, vocals and mixing
CD-R/RW drive for recording, back-up and importing samples.
The MRS-802CD has 2-track simultaneous input capability. 2 mono tracks can be linked to make stereo channels. It has 1/4 in. and XLR inputs (balanced and unbalanced) with 48V phantom power, as well as MIDI in and out, and RCA outputs.
The MS-802CD has a full range of non-linear editing capabilities, including cut and paste, copy, move, reverse direction play and time stretch/compress--all the effects of Zoom's more expensive models.
These editing functions also help out with the sampling and looping functions the MRS-802CD offers. You can import and edit samples and loops using the CD-R/RW or the optional USB interface to import audio files.
The 802CD is loaded with hundreds of pre-recorded beats, and each one can be edited and re-saved. There are more than 400 drum and percussion sounds built-in, including 43 different drum kits, each with 24 different sounds. Use the drum machine as a rhythm tool for timing, or compose complex rhythm tracks for your songs using Zoom's FAST(TM) programming system.
The MRS-802CD has a huge palette of killer effects for guitars, instruments and vocals. 280 pre-programmed and editable effects "patches" are available at the inputs, and 40 send/return effects patches are available for mixing and mastering.
Every track has editable track parameters that include: EQ high, EQ low, pan, chorus, delay, reverb. These functions are also automated, allowing the user to make automatic changes on any given track mid-song. Parameter settings are saved as "scenes". Users can save up to 100 scenes per song/project.
Once the user has finished mixing, they can master it to the stereo master channel, use the CD-R/RW drive to burn a CD player-ready disc, and they are ready to take it out the car for an audition. If several projects are completed, a complete album can be sequenced and copied to a CD-R.
New to version 2.x 40 Gig Harddrive Version 2.0 comes standard with a 40GB hard drive. In non-compressed 16-bit linear / 44.1 kHz sampling frequency format, this translates into 120 hours of high-quality recording.
MTC send support In addition to the Timing Clock transmission offered by the MRS-802 Version 1.x model, the MRS-802 Version 2.0 can also output MIDI Time Code (MTC) messages. Whereas the conventional Timing Clock signal is based on tempo information set internally by the MRS-802, the MTC specifies the current position in hours/minutes/seconds/frames, representing absolute time information. This assures more stable operation compared to Timing Clock and allows the tempo to be freely set or changed at the receiving device.
Continuous playback of multiple projects By entering the master tracks of multiple projects in a playlist, these can be played automatically in succession. This is useful to record several projects in one go on an external recorder or to create automatic accompaniment for a number of songs. Because the playlist information can be used when creating an album for burning a CD, you can check the song sequence before deciding on the final content of the album.
Support for Disk-At-Once burning In addition to the track-at-once method which inserts blank gaps between tracks on an audio CD, the MRS-802 Version 2.0 also supports the disc-at-once method which writes tracks continuously without gaps. Using disc-at-once, it is easy to create a non-stop CD with seamless content. You can also divide one project into several tracks and write the result to an audio CD. This makes it possible to create a CD of a continuous live performance which still allows jumping back and forth to specific songs.
Display Master Fader When playing an audio CD or a playlist using the sequence play function, the [MASTER] fader settings are shown on the display while the fader is being operated to adjust the volume. The value appears automatically on the display as soon as the [MASTER] fader is moved, and the original display appears again after the adjustment is finished.
Loads of fun entertainment for all. Soon, as I figure this thing out, I will easily be able to transfer music files after mastering them on this editable sound recorder. I will be able to send files through the internet and so on.
R.I.P. cassette tape. You most likely will not be terribly missed.
