Re: new (used) Korg nanoKONTROL

Hey VB nothing difficult about it, no rocket science by a long shot. The thing is you have to fight your daw's options and key repolacements. F.i audition only knows the Mackie control unit ($$$$$) :eye_rub: I have to find me a way to control those faders even if I have to install and fire up C++ ag...

Re: My Gibson ES-339

Jim, BUT - I'm thinking of recording an album with all the fantastic people here, the 12bar Allstars. Doing some artwork, a good mixture and releasing it on a free music site. Solo songs, collabs - everything, about 6 to 10 songs. All with public domain songs and backing tracks. And all levels, fro...

Re: What does it take to be a great blues singer?

Well, I wish I could sing, but I'm absolutely not talented, and while you can train hard to get a voice for opera or general classic music, it's hard to do this for Blues. You need passion, sure, you can ruin your health with whiskey and cigarettes, but your main voice is to a big part in your gene...

Re: GAS Attack !!!!!! Part 2

I guess what I said should be extended to cover getting the extra dynamics and tone of a better quality amp, regardless of type. :icon_whoknows: : Ha ha, no :) It is just that I think there are some amps, that are not full tube amps, that do have the "tuby" quality and (dynamic) range and...

Generally speaking you are right.. still when I compare my CT to a tube amp I feel it acts and reacts the same as the tube amp does :think:

HBL... I haven't heard everything you have posted on SoundClick, but I believe that that one is the best I have ever heard. I liked it so much I played it over and over, even picked up Co-Co and tried to pick out a few licks. I tried to find some tab on line but nothing seemed to fit and I'm just n...

Thanks a lot folks :) VB, shall I upload the backing with the original piano lead ? That may make it easier to play around the original vocal lines. With me the thing is that I actually hear the alternative melodies while playing along. Also I happen to like the way gospel and some soul music is sun...
