My primary recording interface is a M-Audio Delta 66 PCI card with a Omni I/O interface attached. The Omni is pretty nice, with 6 inputs and 6 outputs, 2 on-board mic preamps, 2 headphone jacks, effects sends, etc. One problem I noticed when I first got the unit (I bought it off eBay) was that the f...

Awesome!

Very listenable stuff. Sounds good, keep it up!

Nathan: Have you seen Canorus? It's the successor to NoteEdit (which is apparently not going to be developed any farther) and it looks like it might be pretty interesting in the end. It's at version 0.5 right now, with 0.6 due to be released after the new year and 1.0 sometime in 2009. It probably w...

It might be a waste of time advocating FOSS for the sake of advocacy, but that doesn't necessarily guarantee that status quo will continue Very true. I guess I was referring more to the situations like Nathan described, where he's advocating to a professor who's not a techie and already set in his ...

Welcome aboard from another new guy!

To be honest, I'm starting to think FOSS advocacy is a waste of time. Not because the software's bad, quite the contrary.

Another option to finish a song is to ask someone else take take a look or to take part in the 'jam'. That's what I've done in the past. Most of the music I've written to date has been a collaborative effort. I've historically had far better success working with other people than I've had composing...

studio32: Actually, I think you're exactly right to a degree. I've been working to educate myself on songwriting techniques and theory, that's part of the "more structured approach" I mentioned. As for music theory, I think that might be part of the problem too, but from the other directio...

I usually start a song after noodling on the guitar or piano leads me to something I like. My problem is that I come up with pieces of things and then usually get stuck trying to figure out the rest of it. I've not found a good way of combating that problem so far. I'm going to try to take a more st...

Hello All, I am a new member from the Raleigh, North Carolina area in the US. I just discovered this site tonight and it looks like a wonderful source of information and a nice community. A bit about me: I'm a computer professional, that's about all I can really say about my paying job. I often refe...
