For you old school Funk/Fusion fans, Stanley Clarke Modern Man is available from the iTunes store. I'm not sure when it became available, but it must have been fairly recently. It was available only for a short time on CD before going out of print. afaik, it is still out of print on CD. I wound up buying a (legitimate) copy of the CD off eBay for $50 USD.
Features young Jeff Porcaro, Ray Gomez, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and of course Stanley Clarke funkin' it up but good. Jeff Beck and Stanley Clarke just groove on Rock 'n' Roll Jelly.

This is not directly music related, but it is interesting none the less.

Excerpt:

Over the past three months, DailyTech put together a series of faux companies, product portfolios and trademarks. In a combination of phone and email correspondences, our team of journalists set out to find illicit and unethical review behavior in the English-print, computer hardware review industry.
Specifically, these journalists looked for publications that were:
* Willing to sell advertisements (receive funds) in exchange for publishing content.
* Willing to sell advertisements (receive funds) in exchange editor's choice awards.
* Willing to offer viral marketing in exchange for cash and resale hardware.
Manufacturers pressure publications from all sides when attempting to secure headlines and positive reviews. No money actually exchanged hands during this analysis, and the working relationships lasted less than a week.

| Quote: |
Rock star Peter Gabriel has launched a new music download service that will offer free music – but it comes with a price: It comes with ads.
The new service, dubbed We7 is meant to benefit both fans and musicians. Listeners won’t have to pay for their music, and musicians will receive income from the ad revenue. We7 uses MediaGraft technology, which embeds ads into both music and video downloads.
As the download business tries to establish a model that can really work to everyone’s benefit, Gabriel, whose career stretches back to being lead singer with Genesis in the early 1970s, feels this could be the way forward.
“A lot of people under the age of 30 do not buy music anymore, and I think record executives are noticing their kids doing what every other kid is doing, and they, and artists, have to say, ‘how do we deal with this?’ Established artists like me are going to find all sorts of ways, and you shouldn't worry about us. But you should worry about young artists coming through, and, in our field, world music - a lot of those artists have had 50-60% of their income from record sales.”
Gabriel promised the ads would contain “useful stuff,” and trusted that listeners wouldn’t find them off-putting.
It’s not the first time he’s dipped a toe into these waters. Back in 1999 he was the brains behind OD2. That service compiled around 350,000 tracks before Gabriel sold it to the American company Loudeye in 2004. His decision to return to the marketplace has been prompted by the willingness of the music business to embrace free downloads.

Mozart is now just a mouse-click away.
Mozart maniacs, enthusiasts, students and scholars can now access the immortal composer's entire catalog through a free online database with some 24,000 pages.
The database _ available at http://dme.mozarteum.at _ also contains more than 8,000 pages of critical commentary published since 1954, said Ulrich Leisinger, head of research at the International Mozart Foundation.
The launch of the Web site this week comes as a year commemorating the 250th anniversary of Mozart's birth _ complete with thousands of concerts, opera performances and exhibitions across Austria _ draws to a close.
The site is aimed at scholars, musicians and all music enthusiasts, Leisinger said, noting he hoped it would be of particular use to students in places such as India, where musical libraries aren't necessarily around the corner.
"It's a big project, there's nothing comparable in the field of music," Leisinger said.
The International Mozart Foundation _ based in Mozart's birthplace Salzburg _ also aims to keep updating the database, which was launched with the support of the California-based Packard Humanities Institute.
Next summer, it hopes to make available some 270 letters handwritten by Mozart, some 100 original manuscripts and about 2,000 pages of texts accompanying many of the vocal works such as operas, Leisinger said.
Site users can search for a specific work using key words and a scroll down menu. They also have the option of printing out individual movements.
Since it was launched Monday afternoon, the site has had more than 1 million hits and temporarily experienced technical problems Wednesday due to the strong interest, Leisinger said.
A note on the site indicates that work is under way to increase server capacities.
The contents of the Web site are based on the Neue Mozart Ausgabe, a compilation of Mozart's works and critical commentaries that used to be available solely in paper form and that has been in publication since 1954.
The International Mozart Foundation, in years to come, hopes to take the site one step further and incorporate audio files.

BitTorrent, Inc., home to the world's leading peer-assisted digital content delivery platform, today announced a slate of partnerships with a wide variety of leading film and television companies. 20th Century Fox, G4, Kadokawa Pictures USA, Lionsgate, MTV Networks (including COMEDY CENTRAL, Logo, MTV: Music Television, MTV2, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons Network, SpikeTV, The N, TV Land and VH1), Palm Pictures, Paramount Pictures and Starz Media will publish movies and TV shows on BitTorrent.com.
By partnering with some of the most established entertainment studios and TV networks in the world, BitTorrent will be offering an increasingly comprehensive library of digital media content. Through these new partnerships, BitTorrent customers will be able to select from a variety of popular film titles from 20th Century Fox, Kadokawa, Lionsgate, Palm, Paramount and Starz Media such as "X-Men The Last Stand," "Ringu," "Saw III," "13 Tzameti," "Mission: Impossible III," and "Ghost in the Shell." TV programming will include hits like "Attack of the Show" from G4; "24" and "Prison Break" from 20th Century Fox; "City of Men" from Palm; "Laguna Beach" and "Celebrity Deathmatch" from MTV: Music Television; Emmy and Peabody-Award winning "South Park" and "Chappelle's Show" from COMEDY CENTRAL; "Hogan Knows Best" from VH1; "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Avatar: The Last Airbender" from Nickelodeon; and "Skyland" from Nicktoons Network.
Today's announcement is in addition to BitTorrent's previously announced partnerships with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Egami Media, Hart Sharp, Koch Entertainment and The Orchard to further add depth and breadth to its digital library. The videos, which can be downloaded and viewed on a PC, laptop and other portable devices, include new film releases day-and-date with the DVD release, popular TV series, deep catalog titles and cult classics. One exception is Palm Pictures, as they plan to be the first studio to utilize the BitTorrent platform to release full-length feature films before the theatrical and DVD release dates. Most film titles will be available for purchase on a Download-to-Own (DTO) basis or for rent on a Video-on-Demand (VOD) basis, while TV content will be available for DTO only.
"We're thrilled to be partnering with world-renowned entertainment companies and TV networks," said Ashwin Navin, President and Co-founder of BitTorrent. "This is a true testament to the value of our community, technology and the position we aspire to play in the world of entertainment and content distribution. Our audience has a voracious appetite for digital content and by offering the titles they want with a solid user experience; it's a win-win situation for both content providers as well as our users."
Designed in 2001, BitTorrent has become the most efficient means of distributing large, high-quality files on the Internet. With many millions of users, BitTorrent traffic accounts for as much as 40 percent of all worldwide Internet traffic. BitTorrent continues to work with the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) to remove copyright infringing content from its search results and, as evidenced by today's announcement, is working with studios to replace that content with a high quality, legal option that aspires to compete with piracy. With integrated monetization for paid and ad-supported content, the forthcoming BitTorrent service will be an ideal platform for the digital distribution of online entertainment. The service will offer not only video, but also music and games. BitTorrent will disclose pricing details closer to the time of the launch of the online retail marketplace, which is set for February 2007.
"BitTorrent has fundamentally changed the Internet architecture by enabling high-speed and high-quality content distribution on the Web. Today we have announced the role BitTorrent.com will play as a hub for consumers to enjoy their favorite entertainment, but we see a future that involves BitTorrent's content delivery platform powering thousands of websites including those of content creators themselves, offering them the profound benefits of our technology," said Navin.
About BitTorrent Inc.
BitTorrent is home to the world's leading open-source file-sharing protocol by the same name, specifically created to overcome the obstacles of transferring large files over the Internet. Created in 2001, BitTorrent is enabling millions of users worldwide to publish, search and download popular digital content quickly, easily and securely.

I just finished working on a clip (background instrumental) for a demo film. The length of the clip was 1:24 and it went from conception to delivery in roughly 9 hours and 20 minutes. This includes writing, arranging, programming, performing, recording, mixing and mastering. My client was happy. The money was okay. So I was happy. So the situation was cool all around.
Now I'm not sure if that's considered fast in the big leagues. But for a one man shop, I felt like that was pretty quick pace. So it got me wondering about what you guys considered to be a fast turn around. For those of you with staffs, is that slow? For those of you working alone, like me do you have any time saving tips to improve speed?
I'm just opening this subject up to a general conversation. What kind of rush fees do you charge? What kind of allowances do you make for client approval on really tight deadlines? Anybody ever "Crash & Burn" on one of these? What kind of "War Stories" do you have on this subject? Any replies appreciated.

As part of last week's sale of YouTube to Google, three of the four largest music labels ended up nabbing a stake in the popular Web site. The New York Times reports that Universal Music Group, Sony BMG and Warner Music Group quietly were involved in the negotiations and as part of the deals signed last week, they each received a stake in YouTube. The labels could receive up to a combined $50 million from the sale, according to the Times' sources.
The Times also reports that the last minute label deals with YouTube, which were announced just hours before the same to Google, were rushed to be signed before the sale, so the labels could benefit from the increased value of the site. The label deals should also protect Google from copyright infringement lawsuits that had at one point been threatened to YouTube, at least from the music industry.
In related news, earlier this week, Universal Music Group filed suit against video file sharing Web sites, Grouper.com and Bolt.com, for copyright infringement for illegally streaming music videos by its artists.

Santa Monica (CA) - In a bid to expand its position on copyright infringement, Universal Music Group announced today that it has filed a lawsuit against Grouper and Bolt.com for allowing users to post videos to which Universal owns the copyrights.
The suit, which were filed late Monday, accuses Grouper, owned by Sony Pictures, and Bolt.com of "mass infringement" of Universal's copyright. "Through its use and exploitation of copyrighted material [...] Grouper has become one of the most prominent and valuable Web sites on the Internet," Universal said in the lawsuit.
.........................
Last month, Universal announced possible intentions to sue YouTube and MySpace for the same reason. Since then, it announced a licensing deal with YouTube that allows for users to use music under the Universal label in their videos. Universal has not yet brought litigation against MySpace.

Did Google's purchase of YouTube change the online world? More specifically, do the deals signed with content providers on the morning of the buyout indicate that the industry is now open to new ways of licensing content?
Michael Geist, an influential professor of Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of Ottawa, thinks that it does, and that licensed (read: legal) p2p file-swapping could be a real possibility. In a recent column, Geist pointed out how different the YouTube deal was from what happened to Napster. One company made $1.65 billion, the other was sued into financial ruin. Music and television production houses are increasingly aware that certain methods of Internet distribution might be in their best interests.

The popular video site YouTube has been negotiating with record labels to post thousands of music videos online, aiming to move beyond being a site where people mostly share homemade video clips. YouTube, which claims over 100 millions views per day, is reportedly seeking the rights to post current and archive music videos online, and said any commercial model it chooses will offer the videos for free.

Welcome |
|
|
When to use certain pieces of gear with certain settings? Transformers, Impedance, Rise time etc…when to use where and why?
Along with using your ears there seems to be some science that can help out.
For awhile I would just twist the knobs until I thought it sounded best, but lately I have been trying to come up with more of a logically way to experiment. I know using your ears and gut feeling is a great way to go, but a lot of times some of these things are very subtle. I was hoping some of you guys could share
some tips and philosophy.
I figure a good way to test the different settings is record each setting then level match each track then compare the tracks. This is what I have been doing lately and it is much easier to judge which setting I like more, thus removing the louder
is better factor.
I have got tips from the companies and friends along the way on some gear settings. This is pretty basic fundamental stuff.
Examples of some of the basic tips I have collected
On Aurora Audio GTQ-2 pre amp ribbon mic’s work better on a low impedance setting of 300 ohms and dynamic mic’s work better with high impedance setting of 1200 ohms. Geoff Tanner said I would be using the GTQ-2 in the 1200 impedance mode 95% of the time. Thanks Geoff
Pendulum Quartet II is a monster box and has all kinds of options for changing the tone. The only tip I got on this box so far is that it has a focused setting that is supposed to be great for ribbons as well. Anyone got any tips for this guy?
Groove tubes told me a setting of 300 ohms on the Vipre puts something upfront (lead vocals) and a higher impedance of 2400 ohms put things in background (background vocals)
Both the Vipre and the Quartet have transformers you can add into the signal with the flip of a switch. Besides just flipping the switch to see if you like it can someone give me an example of a good time to use a transformer.
In general if you have any fundamental or advanced tips please share any useful info or links that you have
Any tip is a tip and I appreciate your contribution!
Ps I’m posting this is several forums
