Where can I get a bike-type cable that has a slide-type lever end like a studio sound system controller slide?

February 272010

The travel needs to be about 3 inches. Another description of this slide switch (if you are not understanding): Like the "transporter" slide switches that can be seen on the original StarTrek TV series. I plan to mount it on a hand held controller box and use it to rotate a device with the other end of the cable.

Levers that move cables are usually designed around a pivoting point so that the lever has some mechanical advantage over the cable. But there is machinery, like lawn mower speed controls, that sometimes do move in, well, a narrower range of an arc, so that the movement seems flatter. You could look at small commercial machines for such a cable.

Recording Acoustic Gutar and vocals simoultaneously – Urban Sound Studios

February 262010

Hey everyone. This is Robin Lomax from Urban Sound Studios (www.urbansound.no). I wanted to share an elegant solution to recording a vocalist while they are playing the guitar and touch on some microphone basics on the way.

Next week I will be releasing a video about how to set up the microphones on a full drum set while giving you a little tour of our desk, the Trident Vector series and how I use compressors in the recording chain. If anyone has any questions about this subject or anything else, please post them in the comment section and I swear we will answer them in a video.

We hope to be releasing quite a few videos about the studio and sound engineering in general, so feel fre to subscribe to our channel :)

How much does renting a sound studio cost?

February 252010


I have seen studio rates as low as 25/hr and up. Listen to examples of the type of music you need to record. Choose the studio based on their past productions. Your preparation and rehearsal saves many hours in a session. An experienced engineer saves many hours with efficient sessions. A $100/hr studio with an experienced staff can produce a better product for less than a $35/hr studio with an amateur staff. Contact other artists in your genre and ask their recommendations.

What sound packs does FL Studio 8 Express include?

February 232010

What sound packs does FL Studio 8 Express include?

Does it include the Hip-Hop pack

Also, what are the disadvantages of Express, compared to the other versions?

Thanks.

I have the producer version, and picked that because I wanted to have Asio in audio recording. It also comes with the Edison wave editor.

Anyway, check for the differences here: http://www.flstudio.com/documents/features.html

I’d never get express, you can’t even do chords and recording automation is limited etc…

I don’t use much of the sounds that comes with FL Studio, not sure what comes with the express version either, but you can just use tons of great free samples and plug-ins available online. Just email me if you need some pointers.

If you decide you’d like to buy a version of FL Studio that’s 99 USD or more, you can use this promo code to get 10% discount on the download version from the image-line online store: BACJBAA468

Yes – Roundabout (Studio Version)

February 202010

Album Version of Yes’s Roundabout from the album Fragile

*NOTE* THIS IS NOT LIVE

“Roundabout” is the track which opens the 1971 album Fragile produced by British progressive rock band Yes. In 1972, an edited version of the song was released as a single with “Long Distance Runaround” on the B side.[1] The single has been listed at #15 on one list of 1972s best songs,[2] and “Roundabout” has become one of the best-known songs by Yes. Live versions of the song are found on the albums Yessongs, Keys to Ascension, House of Yes: Live from House of Blues, and Live at Montreux 2003. “Roundabout” was written by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe.
Anderson has said that the song’s cryptic lyrics simply came to him while driving to the studio one early morning.
Howe’s use of octave harmonics on the acoustic guitar introduction of the song, plucking the four notes that would comprise an Em chord on an open guitar, has become one of his signature pieces of guitar work.
In the film School of Rock, Fragile is given to the keyboardist Lawrence as he is told to listen to the keyboard solo on “Roundabout”. On the commentary track for the DVD release of the film, actor Jack Black states that the solo is his personal favorite keyboard solo.
“Roundabout” was also used in the 1999 film “Outside Providence” as it is heard through a sequence of two scenes.
An acoustic arrangement of “Roundabout” was recorded for The Ultimate Yes: 35th Anniversary Collection.

(Jon Anderson/Steve Howe)

I’ll be the round about
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
I’ll spend the day your way……
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley……

The muses dance and sing
They make the children really ring
I’ll spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley…..

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky
and they Stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers we’ll be there and
Laughing too
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be
There with you

I will remember you
Your silhouette will charge the view
Of distance atmosphere……
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
Even in the valley……

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky
and they Stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers we’ll be there and
Laughing too ooo oo oo
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be
There with you

Along the drifting cloud the eagle searching
Down on the land
Catching the swirling wind the sailor sees
The rim of the land
The eagle’s dancing wings create as weather
Spins out of hand

Go closer hold the land feel partly no more
Than grains of sand
We stand to lose all time a thousand answers
By in our hand
Next to your deeper fears we stand
Surrounded by million years

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out……..

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky they
Stand there
Twenty four before my love and I’ll be
There……..

I’ll be the roundabout
The words will make you out ‘n’ out
We spend the day your way
Call it morning driving thru the sound and
In and out the valley…. eh

In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they
Stand there
One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see You
Ten true summers we’ll be there and
Laughing too ooo
Twenty four before my love you’ll see I’ll be
There with you…..
