Is he still an inspiration to you? I heard there was going to be a Flashback reunion. Will you be a part of it? How about the European tour? Asia? The fans would love to see you and Joe back together again. Are you up to the challenge?Mary Zingalenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14341984.post-56137585015939942592009-01-07T06:27:00.000-08:002009-01-07T06:27:00.000-08:00I suspect that there are patterns that cut across genres and patterns that are specific to genres. However, I feel that it may be possible to formulate western music composition theory in the form of patterns.Charles A.

After trying to formulate some patterns for my personal use as to try the water, I found that music different genres maybe a culprit to why there hasn't been much work done on music making design patterns yet. In other words, genre differences pose as a big obstacle in generalization of solutions to music problems...

In Reaper you can isolate a track by selecting it and using the keyboard combo:<BR/><BR/>shift ~<BR/><BR/>you would need to change the time display to show samples and work with the grid settings. Its doable , just find Adobe Audition more comfortable. You can try Audacity. Check it out here:<BR/><BR/>http://audacity.sourceforge.net/<BR/><BR/>I do like McLaughlin's Bello Horizonte album. Must admit that I had not realized that he had been involved with Return To Forever. I do agree that Pandora is a great site to bump into great music. I discovered Oregon and Steve Tibbits among many there recently.<BR/><BR/>thanks for your comments, its nice to know some people actually read the blog. Someday, I'll get more active.

I am wondering about the audio editor. Is that something on reaper or something to download separately?<BR/>I too put (esp. Matheny) in the pantheon of Music Gods, tho I tend to favor his earlier work. McLaughlin can be pretty er self-indulgent, but there's alot of beautiful music in there. His Return to Forever stuff is often amazing and listenable. Do you listen to Pandora? It's a free internet "radio station" that is a great way to find new artists . . . anyway, prolly old hat. <BR/>Nice work on your site, look foreward to hearing some music.whaznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14341984.post-57502156985650398792008-01-03T06:05:00.000-08:002008-01-03T06:05:00.000-08:00cheaper units don't use line levels for their mic ins so therefore one could hook up a mic directly i.e. no mismatch, but since the IAudio expects line level I therefore needed a mic preamp to bring up the level of the incoming mic signal up to the expected levelCharles A.
