If not that must have been almost as hard to play as the relentless snare drum in Ravel's Bolero: As Bear said, not bad. BTW, thank you for posting the link. That's actually me playing all the instruments for the first 15 seconds, recorded at different times, after that they are chopped up and looped throughout the song. The only instrument played by me the whole time are the synth and bass. As for Ravel's Bolero, thank you for reminding me it exists! One of my favorite pieces. The Instruments are: (808 is drum machine) 1. Tuned Melodic Cowbell 808 (melody) 2. 808 kick 3. 808 snare 4. 808 clap 5. Synth with heavy altering via transpose wheels to sound far away 6. 808 Bass Lover 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelE Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I used to record on a TASCAM 38 and later on a DA-88 through a TASCAM M 2524. I really learned a lot about muti-track recording, mic placement, EQ, and matching levels. I did that for about 30 years and finally gave it up about ten years ago when it became work and wasn't fun anymore. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted March 1, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2022 The weather is not too bad this morning, so I shall venture outside and start making up storage cassettes. Since I've already cut out all the various components, it's going to be a rather repetitive kit building exercise. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium SM42 Posted March 1, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Just had a listen and you were right. It was not for me. However I think that was down more to the frantic tag melody than it being not my type of thing. I felt the tempo and pitch of the melody didn't quite match the backing track Maybe slow that melody down a little and perhaps a slightly lower pitch. Then again I'm a bit of a bass junkie and my phone speaker may not have done it justice in the round as you have already pointed out. As you can tell I am not an expert in musical matters and I hope that makes sense and that I have not discouraged you in your musical endeavours. In terms of Balero, I once saw it played by the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and it was the most marvelous circa 10 minutes The drum was played by an Al Murray look alike ( from where I was I thought it was him at the start) and he had the most uncomfortable looking posture whilst playing. I was fascinated just watching him play. Andy Edited March 1, 2022 by SM42 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted March 1, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 1, 2022 Having listened to Douglas's offering, I have to say it is very like a lot of music that Shazam throws up when I'm trying to identify a tune. The tune I'm looking for is typically one from a great collection of Club Mixes by a skinny black DJ from Montreal. Some tunes are so obscure Shazam can't find them, or they are not then on YouTube. Having had my infusion yesterday, I am utterly brain-fogged today - but not necessarily due to the med itself. I just could not sleep, and so am very slow and weary. Nurse Aurelie - plump, pretty, 40-ish, bright - turned up with the wheelie stand for the bottle of infusion to hang on, i.e. just like a drip in hospital, and I had obtained all the disposables in a kit. So I sat at one end of the sofa for 20 minutes and the job was done. Copious amounts of water were recommended before and after the event, and I must keep knocking it back today and tomorrow. Wordle nearly defeated me today. I have been overdosing on Octordle the last few days. The same challenge but different. Bits of me are reminding me that on Sunday I spent 90 mins on the lawn tractor, giving the paddock a first trim of the year. Amazing what trivial repetitive actions do to muscles that have sat around all Winter! And now I may doze off again...... 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do occasionally look at adverts for filament or resin printers but I don’t proceed as I am aware of my limited abilities with the design side (O level Engineering Drawing grade 5).

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted March 2, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2022 Yesterday's blitz on the cassettes was only partially successful. I did some useful work tidying up the brass angle for the inter cassette connectors, but I was then diverted onto rental property tasks. Two bird boxes were refurbished and I found some suitable timber sculling around, so decided to make another one, which has now be put up on the ash tree that sprouts out of the hedge about half way down the garden. This accommodation is available on short term leases at very favourable rates to the lucky tenants. I am hoping to get back onto cassette duties later today. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the activities that I would really like to do for instance artistic or musical are seemingly beyond my ability. Fortunately Aditi helps to keep my brain active by providing me with things to repair. Tony 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
