I'm in the middle of finishing the demo recordings, so I can send them to all the involved musicians.
Then they can practice their parts, hehe biggrin.gif

I'll also post most of them here at GMC smile.gif
And if there's a particular song you like and want to play on, let me know smile.gif
There's always room for you man!

Currently I've got Tommy Lindahl (Former Theatre Of Tradegy guitarist, now in a Metalband in Brazil..),
Muris, Gabriel, Trond, Stian (A friend of mine and an awesome drummer for quite a few big blackmetal bands in Norway, he's playing the Paalocalypse song..), Two other local drummers (One is only 16 years old, but awesome), And a bassplayer from two local bands which can rock that bass as good as anyone, me (Of course tongue.gif) and a few unconfirmed guests but I'm hoping they will participate smile.gif

Probably around 10-12 songs or so, from Pop to Metal biggrin.gif

The only problem are the vocals laugh.gif
But I'll figure something out, hehehe...

I'll let you know when I'm done with the demos..

I bought this miniDV camera two weeks ago to stream videos direct to the computer with Firewire. It was quite cheap and i guess thats the reason i'm not really happy with it. Quality is not really good. Maybe with more light it will be better. I used a normal photo camera before and the quality was way better, but i wanted something easier to use as to transfer and convert the files needed to much time.

3 DVD guitar course "This is the way I do it" by John Mclaughlin. Really expensive stuff, 150-200 $ or so.
That was 4 years ago. I plan to order some books with Amazon but I am worrying about shipping cost...

Posted by: purple hayes Jan 18 2009, 12:44 AM




Used it to record a video of me playing bass last night.



Got two of those off of Woot.com for $13 shipped. :w00t:

A resistor... 30 cent piece, but $5 in shipping, that's just not right!

What brand and model are those?
I'm in the market for studio headphones. Are you happy with them?

Posted by: Mandos Jan 18 2009, 02:15 PM

It's a pair of AKG K240S and I'm extremly pleased. Got them for about 90€ instead of 156€ since K240S Mk II is out now.

You should have a look at the AKG K271 MKII Studio heaphones, I have them and they're awesome!

Homepage: http://www.akg.com/site/products/powerslave,id,1064,pid,1064,nodeid,2,_language,EN.html

Specs:

* Professional circumaural hi-fi stereo studio headphones
* Self-adjusting headband for optimum fit
* Patented Varimotion speakers
* High noise attenuation
* For onstage and studio use
* Automute feature mutes headphones when they are taken off
* Leatherette and additional velvet ear pads
* Single-sided, detachable 3 m cable and additional 5 m coiled cable

The newly designed AKG legend, K 271 MK II combines the benefits of AKG’s circumaural design for extreme comfort and a closed-back design for maximum isolation from ambient noise. Thanks to its XXL transducers, the K 271 MK II sounds clean, smooth and very rich.

The K 271 MK II is the perfect choice for any application where sonic bleed could cause problems such as broadcast work.

Another important feature of the K 271 MK II is the addition of a switch in the headband that mutes the audio just as soon as the headphones are taken off.
