I keep hearing a cool guitar version of the theme from the Munsters on Z-Rock. 
It's got that Halloween flavor, plus it kinda grooves.  I don't know who is
covering it, maybe someone else knows.

Just a thought...

	I think that the drum/vocal or bass/vocal is the hardest
combination. Unless you're playing a really straight beat or are
thumping our eighth notes on the bass, it is really difficult to sync.
the two actions. Usually, the beat or bassline is disjoint from the
vocal line.

	Another difficulty of singing/drumming is the logistics. If
you have a headset, you're fine, but if you don't, it's tough to find
a really good place to put the mike so that it doesn't interfere with
your playing.

Greetings!

  I (still) have forsale my Kubicki Factor Fretless bass.  This is a
really nice fretless, with a very nice ebony fingerboard.  Color is
black.  Active/passive hybrid electronics with pan, bass boost/cut,
treble boost/cut, and switchable midrange boost.  24 "frets".
Includes hard case, strap, polishing cloth, and a new set of
D'Addario XL170s.  The bass balances very well sitting and standing,
and sounds great!

  I'm reducing my price to $800.

Recently, I wrote a song that I suggested be used as an advertising jingle for
the company I work for.  I don't know if we'll actually do this, but the song
was modeled after the group "The Party."  I thought it would be real cool to
actually have The Party record this song professionally.  I am wondering if
it is really possible to hire a group for this purpose, and how you go about
it, and how much it costs.

   Gluing PZM's to you shell sounds like a pretty dumb idea. First of all,
it will degrade your shells' sound and resonance. Second of all, the mics
will pick up shell noise since they are in direct contact with it.
   If you REALLY want mic's in your drums, buy the May EA systems. They
customize Shure SM57's, AKG D12's, and all sorts of mics for internal
mounting and provide isolation mounting hardware and jacks. They also make
"no-drill" adapters so you don't have to drill holes for the mic mount
or the jack.
   Personally, I don't like the sound of mics mounted inside snares or toms.
It just isn't a natural sound. (For double-headed toms.) Better yet, just
buy some LP Claws and tape your cables together to form a single snake. It's
much easier than setting up a bunch of stands and running all the cables
all over the place.

Hello,

I have an A.R.T. audio signal processor for sale. 
I will pay all shipping!

Master Dynamics Controller(MDC) 2001, Stereo Dyanmics Processor which has:
Compressor/Limiter/De-esser/Exciter/Expander.

=====> $250

This unit is NOT dual channel! It is best served in a stereo processing
situation. I use one in conjunction w/ mastering to DAT (with a BBE
Sonic Maximizer in the chaing) and another one with my stereo TV!
The difference on the TV is amazing! Especially considering I have
NAD and Dalquist equipment! 

The unit is *very* quiet with studio quality 120db S/N ratio. Very
sensitive noise gate and compression capabilities.

Help me pay for my studio remodeling!

Organization: University of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C., Canada
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 1992 23:17:49 GMT

Some months or years ago, I read in "Musician" (I think) about a studio
drummer who had bought a bunch of Radio Shack surface microphones -
the flat ones that look like square, flat pieces of slate and which are
designed to be mounted on walls. He glued them to the inside of his drum
shells and had XLR jacks mounted directly through the shell of the drums.
When he went into the studio, all he had to do was plug XLR cables straight
into all his drums (and then use overheads and hi-hat mics, of course).

My question is, has anyone tried anything like this, and if so does it
work okay? It would sure be a lot simpler than setting up a pile of mic
stands for every gig.

re: ultimate chorus sound *for guitar*

I tried to get rid of my trusty Boss CE-2 chorus box by programming/trying
chorus sounds on my SPX90-II, Digitech IPS33B, and Alesis Midiverb.

IMHO, none of the digital efx box choruses match the warmth and fullness
of a Boss CE-2 chorus or a T.C. Electronics Stereo Chorus/Flanger -
I ended up adding the Boss CE-2 back to my setup.  

I'm not the only one who likes the Boss CE-2 - I was just told by a
salesperson at a music store that Boss discontinued the CE-2, only to
be forced to bring it back after a deluge of customer complaints 
(just like Coke Classic).

I like to set the depth and rate knobs on the CE-2 all the way down
and use it just to "fatten" the sound.  The T.C. Electric chorus/flanger
sounds much better in stereo mode - in mono mode it doesn't do much
for me.

   No. Actually, playing a um.. "toned" instrument is harder because there
are times when you have to sing a 7th but are playing somewhere else on
your guitar/bass/keys/whatever. Drumming is just making your limbs move in
time without thinking about where the key is.
   Also, playing fills on drums isn't as hard as it seems/looks. Only when
you're playing some strangely syncopated or odd-timed passage and the vocals
don't follow it. I hardly ever "bang out a pretty repetitive pattern", singing
or not. After you've played for so many years, your subconscious does all
the work, even while improvising.

The best formula I've heard is to get yourself noticed at gigs.
Attract a large following so the clubs will pay *you* to play at their
place, not the other way around.  Since labels want to make $$$, if
you're hot, they'll show up.  Have a promo package ready when they
approach you.

Another suggestion given me was to make contact with agents or
entertainment attorneys and give them your tapes.  They have
connections with various labels as well, and you might get your music
heard that way.
