r6rocker - I suppose I am heading in the "Guitarist/Frontman" ala Clapton, Gary Moore etc........hopefully anyway. Thanks for your kind words on My IUMA.

Everyone - Thanks for the Happy 100ths.

Aarren

lambic - Thank you so much for your very kind words over at My IUMA. One of the things that I pride myself on is sound quality. If the quality is is good then the rest takes care of itself.

DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MY IUMA AND LEAVE ME SOME COMMENTS

Thanks again to everyone for the Happy 100ths. I appreiciate it.

VERY IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING THE T2J CD - I sent an email to Neville Martin and Simon Bradley over at Guitarist (UK) to tell them about the T2J CD project. This is what I wrote:

Neville/Simon,

Very Hopeful Regards, Aarren Mowle

With any luck I should have a reply concerning this and as soon as I do I shall post it in here.

Finally got round to recording a Satch tune and it is now up on MY IUMA. Go and check it out and leave me some comments. By the way, I learnt this song entierly (sp???) from memory so I appreciate that there are probably some wrong bits in it but have a listen anyway.

Miguelpais - YThanks for your kind words regarding My IUMA. The way I get my tone is done 2 ways: 1, Close Mic'ing of either a Marshall 4x12 or a Laney Tubefusion, Boss DS-1, Boss DD-3, Crybaby Wah and plenty of volume; and 2, Use of a Marshall JMP-1 coming out of its speaker emlulator. With regards to tone I set up my clean channel like this (0-10 settings) - bass 9, mid 8, treble 3-4. Boss DD-3 (for Love Thing) level 12 o'clock, feedback 1 o'clock, speed 8 o'clock, type 12 o'clock. Signal chain - out of amp into delay, out of delay into ds1, out of ds1 into wah, out of wah into guitar. Hope that helps.

Ocps470 - Thanks for the kind words regarding my iuma. For info on tone see above. Thanks again and yes I did notice that my song was last on the T2J CD - cheers. By the way, what do you think of my track for the CD?

Trutina - Not a problem for the email that I sent to Guitarist. At the end of the day the more publicity we get the better. Now go to My IUMA as promised by your good self and dont forget to leave me some comments.

Plum Loco - Thanks for the kind words regarding my iuma and yes that is me warbling away in the tracks (you can take your earplugs out now - lol)

Ovation1 - Thanks for the kind words regarding my iuma. I have to admit that the drums are (quote) "quite jazzy". Dont blame me for that as someone sent me that backing track from in here - lol.

Mr Nick - Thanks for the kind words regarding my iuma - I do try!!! lol.

Crystal Planet - Thanks for your kind words regarding my iuma and where do you think I got the idea to put the harmonics in??? You got it in one.

Aarren

Narface - Regarding your wiring problems. You said that you have wired it properly so your problem could be down to dry joints which would cause it not to work. Check it out.

Gregm - Thanks for checking out my IUMA and there are some mistakes in it but keep listening to it and you will, eventually, pick up on them. Thanks again.

Aarren

Migupais - Go and check your comments at your iuma.

Sorry guys for the (ahem....) triple post but Ive still got some catching up to do with the same certain person who will still stay un-named (ahem......Mr Nick.......ahem - still got that nasty cough!!! lol).

Matt King & Clarky - Is there any chance you could go and check out My Iuma as id love to hear your comments......PLEASE.

Everyone - Some great news that I wanted to share with you all is that at 02:45 this morning I became an Uncle!!!! His name is Jake and he weighed 6 pounds and 13 ounces.

Does anyone know how to make a virtual instrument in cubase? The reason I ask is that i noticed with the virtual drum kit that comes with cubase that the sounds are .wav files. I have some much better drum sounds and want to use them instead but without the farce of inputing each wav file individually.

Any ideas????

Thanks everyone for the congrats regarding me becoming an uncle. The way I see it, it is like being a Dad but without the responsibility!!!! (Nice!!!)

Crystal Planet - Right, problem exporting audio in cubase - go to main view>click Audio>click VST Mixer>just above the mains faders is a button called Export Audio - click it>uncheck Add This Song To Current Song (or something along those lines>name your song and click Export. Thats it. Hope that helps. Any more probs then come back to me.

T2J CD - Whats the latest regarding the CD??? I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to know........

I see a lot of talk about the ACM in Guilford and just wondered what it is like compared to The Guitar Institute in Acton as that is where I went. Just curious......

Crystal Planet - Did you try what I suggested in Cubase and, if so, did it work???

Phrygian dom - I'm all up for mp3 demo clips on the t2j site - didnt i ask that a while ago???

Crystal Planet - Glad it worked bro and get some tunes on IUMA for us to listen to.

Trutina - My ol' girl (mother) has a paypal account so i'll give her the money and then she will pay you. How much is it again (in pounds)???

IUMA PEOPLE - Did anyone get a wierd email from some music company wanting to put your music on their site as I received one and just wondered if you guys did also.......

Trutina - Thanks bro. I'll try and get payment sorted asap.

Invigor - Funnily enough I've still got Jstrat57 on my msn too............RIP bro..........

Migupais - New mix sounds great dude. Nice one!!!

Trutina - What do I have to do to send my contributers money to u? A website address??? Remember I am in the UK so sending actual money isnt an option for me, understandably (sp???)

Dragonchild - Thank you very much for the kind words regarding my T2J track. My idea was to create a song that wasnt too heavy to listen to but that was also catchy. Another point that I wanted to catch was to write a sad song but in a nice sounding way (if that makes any sense at all !!!)

Thanks again,

I hope to god that the news about Joe's wife is not true but if it is I will be praying for them all. Joe please tell us this isnt true..............

Aarren

Thank F**K for that!!! Thanks Mr Luini for clearing that up. Rumour spreading TWATS!!!! I hope they die of SARS!!!

Anyone else agree???

Ovation - Sorry for the outburst as I'm not like that at all. I would never wish that kind of thing on anyone. Sorry.....

PhryDom - I shall also raise a glass to your dear ol' dad at the same time I am getting pissed as its my 24th b'day 2day.

"Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me (and many more.........)" 24 today.

Hi all. How we doing in here? I havent posted in a while, even though I do check in here on a daily basis, as Ive never really got that much to say but this one will be good (well maybe.....)

I see a lot of bullsh*t being thrown around from various people regarding their music. This needs to stop and stop now. If it aint your cup of tea then fine leave it there. I dont particularly (sp?) like country music but I wouldnt go over to, say, Garth Brooks and tell him its crap. This is supposed to be a place to talk about Joe and a place where he will be able to see what is being said. Do you really want Joe to see what is going on in here????? Have I made my point?????

In a lighter note I received this in an email and it made me laugh......

Anyone who has been in the hospital or had a loved one in the hospital can certainly relate to this -----

"Not exactly, I'm Sarah Finkel in 302! Nobody here tells me shit!"

Made me laugh anyway,

Crispin - I thought so too......
