Good Morning Satchland....What Up?

SteveeT......I'm honored your honored....lol.....I just need the clients...lol.... Pro Tools..... I agree and disagree with OPCS470. No you don't need Pro Tools....but that depends on where you want to go. There's Pro Tools systems to fit any budget from $300 M-Audio systems to the $10,000 TDM system. Pro Tools is the industry standard and LE systems are compatable with any HD system. You can take your sessions backed up on DVD and go anywhere in the world to have them mixed. Those two points were a big selling point for me. I know how serious you are about your music and I'm sure for mixing your CD and to get it right you'd consider taking your music to a pro engineer for mixing and mastering. That's what I was saying in the other post about my room and my mixing experience. Plus it's so easy to work with audio it's not even funny. Pro Tools 7 made a huge advance in there midi application but still not as powerful as other midi apps. They're catching up with midi but I don't think for the money you'll find anything close to the power and ease of Pro Tools for audio. Plus, there's a lot of reference books by 3rd party co.'s that deal with Pro Tools to get you up and running. I bet within 1/2 hr. from your house there's a couple of professional Pro Tools studios. I would recommend the Digi 002. It comes with $2000 worth of plugins and sells for about $2400 and it's PC/ Mac compatable. Check this link for any Pro Tools questions: http://www.digidesign.com/ Check out the DUC forum if the link don't take you there. Peace. Edit...You'll find the DUC Forum under the support tab.

Suzie2000.....I'm a Mac guy. I use Avery for my cd labeling. I don't know anything about the software your using. What's the problem you're having? I'll help ....if I can.

Satriella.....I would go to windows help and do a search for port 7327. Than open the port. Download the link for Flash 6 and you should be able to get in. I use the old Java to get in. I never tried the Beta. Old Java always works for me. I hope this helps. Edit.... The old Java page wont link. I got in on the Beta side. First time using the Beta link.

mthead....Thanks. I appreciate it.

Hey all, what's hap'nin?

Do The Stu - Yeah man, I really can't choose favorites, but like I said, ITLIS? just flows... great feel throughout the whole album. Definitely some of Joe's best on there, IMO.

Satriella - No problem!

Keniko, Stevee T - just a little side note on my personal experience with the Digidesign 002r. There is/was a very common defect in the power supply/power harness cables of the 002r units. I had purchased one off eBay and after about 2 months, it just wouldn't power up anymore. I freaked and called the guy that sold it to me, and he told me all about the problem (wish he had told me before I bought it, but...).

So anyway, I called DigiDesign and they sent me a repair kit for free within a couple of days. It's really easy to fix, but I decided to sell it and get something more reliable because I just couldn't afford downtime like that again. (And apparently, this happened at least twice before to the previous owner).

That said, I'm not sure if the newer units have been fixed. I'm assuming they have been, but a word of caution would be not to buy a used unit, if you're looking into the 002r.

It's been a while since I've posted so I thought I'd drop in to say hi. :o) 11 pages to go & I'll be all caught up !!

mikesb...very pretty stuff...thanks!

Keniko...( I'm Honored that you're Honered, that I'm Honored)lol....thanks for the in depth info...it's either ProTools, or a friend of mine has a recording studio that I was considering for final mixes...money, money, money, money....money...!

DCSlater...thank you for the warning on the power supply....

Danny...Good to see ya!

Joe: OMG... im freaking out here. Sorry... but you have to come to Spokane. lol. I love you/your music so much, I cant even explain how beautiful and powerful your music is to me. Every time i listen to Rubina and Always With Me Always With You, i cry man. But you know, Im greatful for that. Im greatful to have that kinda emotions while listening to your music. Its such a great gift. Thanks man. Love ya lots. Have a great day.

How Do All........

Satriella ....... Sure can and one I am proud of, The night went well I think there where about 25-30ish in there for a smallish pub thats not bad, I have got a cool pair of Neon sunglasses that my Woman pick up for me from the state's while she was over there on holiday, They went down well. Not gigging now for a while, nearley completed my studio so I will be starting recording hopefully next week.

Hi everyone!

Thanks for all the news updates and info! You guys and girls are awesome :)

"Super Colossal", Joe's new album title is surprising and different, Joe is so unpredictable. How will it sound? The song titles sound very promising! Hmmm can't wait to hear the sound clips!

fridgewheel, there isn't an official section on the site to put your music for Joe to listen, people usually use sites like www.soundclick.com to upload their music and them post the link here so everybody can listen to it. I hope it helps :-)

bahduh, two VCDs are ready to send :-) you have mail!

marimariSRV, you have mail with all the details about our Satch trading :-)

Satriella, happy belated 200 posts! I'm on it ;-)

mikesb, Jeff Beck's Mahler's 5th Symphony Adagietto performing is exquisite, thank you for the link!

WEBMASTER, njbeast, one of the winners of the contest, hasn't got his Satch goodies, please your help is needed, thanks.

njbeast, I hope it helps...

Well! how many t2jers share their birthdays in January...so Delfino Pie & Naty, happy birthday to you!

Just found out Evergrey is coming to the US in September, but only Atlanta for Progpower US. Check this out though:

"ProgPower USA VII will take place on Friday and Saturday, September 15 and 16 at Earthlink Live in Atlanta. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, April 1 at 10 a.m. EST via all Ticketmaster outlets. Only 900 tickets will be made available to the public. Advance Gold Badges, which presently have a two-year wait list, are sold out.

ProgPower USA has sold out more than four months in advance for the past four years. Last year’s festival sold out in a record four days."

---2 year waiting list...wow. Not only that, but an entire festival selling out in only 4 days! Well...just gotta wait for Evergrey to come to my area, or somewhat close...and Pain of Salvation...

---Off to play some guitar for a while...

Yay...I'm here but I'd rather be there now what!!!

Keniko - aaaaaaaaaaaaaagh What! I got as far as "I would go to" then, that's it, you lost me....it all looked so simple..boo hoo thanks for trying....

Clarky - Oh so has life been tough in a bad time way or just busy? I laughed so much at your blah blah thanks for that. I'd love to come, Milton Keynes and London are probably about the same, but I think London would probably be easier...we usually drive to epping then tube it from there....so what's the set list...doin any Satch, PRM Boxter? Hmmm it's a conundrum....need to keep money safe for Joe but would love to see you play....aaaagh...well tell me when and where nearer the time and if I've got enough I'll come to Camden...but I'm definately taking you up on that drink when I do see you, either in March or another time!

njbeast - Now that's better...I knew you could do it if you tried...not sure on the neon glasses though.....you sound like Elton John...all you need now is the Neon Jumpsuit hehe!

ovation1 - Stop that you....how'd you do that!!

hugs Satriella xx

hey people

js1200js100.....wo..wo..wo....no offence dude!! peace bro!!!Anyways best of luck with ur girl!!!! its always a charm of luck from me to all the people at satch!!1Take care!

DC Slater ::: ya ya dude im up with it trying my best as always....im catching a lot of patterns of satch and yngwie!!! thx for the care though!!! its people like u i look up to!!!

962 ::: dude hows life......?????i hope everythings fine with my man eh????and like js1200js1000 says CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........................EH?????????lol

Keniko - Yeah man, I turned around and sold it immediately. LOL. I didn't give up on DigiDesign, but the next interface I buy is going to probably be an HD system. I've been using the PreSonus FirePod and the difference is hardly noticeable at the LE level, IMO.

SteveeT - No problem, man... like I said, I assume it's no longer an issue with new gear, but there are some older 002r units floating around out there, and that's most likely why.

alter_ego_of_joe - Cool man, glad to hear it!! It'll pay off in the long run... :)
