Just thinking...

I just dusted off my guitar rack and took out my TC G-Major and connected it to my AMT stomp box. Then on to my little mixer where I plugged in my CD player, too. From there it's a very short way to my hifi amp and to my not so bad speakers. A very basic setup, enough to keep my fingers moving and m...

Re: Rediscovered, just for fun

This is worth much more than a laugh, Jan. Pity about the recording quality, but still great. "I don't mind" and "life isn't fair..." really rock! Thank you so much, Pat! I'm glad you enjoyed it. The sound is really a pity, you're right. I have one more goody: This is from a gig...

Re: Rediscovered, just for fun

I can not resist: This is a recording from our practice space, worse recording than the previous songs, but it was fun nevertheless. This must be from the summer 1999 and we did a country (and western) song. I'm particularly proud of the end. Don't take this too seriously, it was not our style and m...

Re: Rediscovered, just for fun

Woah dude, you guys rock! I wanna rock!! Wow, thanks Matt! I had the exact same feeling when I heard this stuff again. I have to rock again, it seems. I have one final song for today: http://soundcloud.com/radiomatic/04-i-don-t-mind It's from 1998 with another band name and another singer, slightly...

Re: Rediscovered, just for fun

This is the second song of that particular recording. As always, excuse the crappy english - rebels without a clue. ;-)

There are two bits where the sound vanishes, that's due to storing the tape in whatever space it fitted in.

Re: Rediscovered, just for fun

Good stuff! Really! I've always liked the mix of keyboards and rock guitars (and as for the English, don't worry, I've heard far worse) Got any more? How long did you keep playing with your band back then? Thanks a lot! We have been playing together for approximately one and a half years when we re...

Rediscovered, just for fun

I just recently heard some very old tapes I made with my band around 15 years ago and although I had to laugh as I heard them again I couldn't help but wondering how we got some decent songs (I think, at least) out of our 16 year old heads then. So if anyone is interested and doesn't mind the embarr...

Re: "best" way to feed dry elec-guitar into pc...

Hi! I have experimented with some gear over the years to get a good amp like sound without actually using an amp. I tried the DI out of my JMP-1, a Zoom GM-200 and software. Never was wholly satisfied. The best recording sound I have so far is with my AMT Distortion Station. I play it with different...

Re: Korg Nanopad

The Akai MPK Mini is on my wishlist. Looks like a neat way to get keys, knobs and pads on my desk without taking up too much space. @AutoStatic How much configuration is required? I've not done much with Linux and MIDI and none via USB. How about a wiki page about it? I don't have personal experien...

Re: Korg Nanopad

f_ck, i think i will buy one, too are there any similar products? what can you do with drums and this x-y-controler? is the velocity-sensitivety good? Tha AKAI LPD8 is pretty similar, just without the XY controller, which is very cool for things like double bass drum or a snare roll. I am just begi...

Re: Soda P - Icon of Your Time (demo, unmastered)

BTW: Very good guitar sound! That's really good to hear. I still have my doubts about my sound sometimes (don't the majority of guitarists have that?) especially with this particular guitar, a Fender Telecaster from 1977. That batch is renowned for its feedback because of the bridge construction an...

Re: Korg Nanopad

Hello Guys, I'm glad to find this recent topic about the Korg Nanopad, maybe am I going to find some answers ... I'm a linux (Ubuntu) user, and I got a Korg Nanopad for Christmas, but I have a very little knowledge in MIDI stuff... I succeeded to install the driver and the Korg Kontrol Editor with ...

Re: Sometimes nothing

It loads correctly here, but I will look into it, maybe reupload it once I get home. Sorry, Mark.

Sometimes nothing

This unfortunately has nothing to do with Linux. This is a recording I made with my band in 2001 (almost ten years ago, it was snowing like hell that day), when we played in the KUZ in Mainz, a very renowned club. A lot of people were there and we certainly had the gig of our live. A friend reminded...
