I need help on the trombone!

I'm going into the 8th grade this year and I took up trombone playing last summer so I could be in the jazz band at our school. (I'm originally a clarinet player). It's been about 1 1/2 months since I actively played in school and now I've lost my range, tone, and ability to use air well. (By the air part I mean that before I could go through about 8 measures at about a mezzoforte, but now I can't even go 4 measures at a mezzoforte)

Please help! I'm working on the circle of fifths and some old jazz music that I have but i still need help!

Re: I need help on the trombone!

It takes at least six weeks to be able to play at the same level you were 1 1\2 months ago. My advice is just practice every day, plat some scales, and just work at it. Eventually you'll be able to play the same and you'll keep getting better.
Any more questions email me at bball_superstar05@hotmail.com.

Re: Roland data converter: I have the same problem. Good luc

: Hey. I have a bunch of songs recorded on a Roland VS-1680 digital studio that I burned data cds for. I have yet to find a way for the data to be read by my computer and would like to import it into pro tools or sonar to edit the tracks and mix them. If anyone knows of a way to convert the data into wav files or anything, please let me know. Thanks!

And I also have the same Problem

Why does Roland not provide a Converter Tool ?
Damn Shit, I really need this ...

Re: Roland data converter: I have the same problem. Good luc

There was a SCSI transfer way but I was under the impression Roland scrapped the facility on later Os's..

I have done this a number of times as I still use the Vs880 as a remote recording device. I use an SP/DIF link and MTC (midi time code) sync'd to a software DAW (in my case, Logic Audio on a Mac).

You can transfer 2 tracks at a time unless you want to route analogue audio at the same time as the SP/DIF

beat making(hiphop,r&b,blues,jazz,african)

i am a intending young producer.i want to know what it takes to make a real hit beat.

Re: beat making(hiphop,r&b,blues,jazz,african)

There are all kinds of issues with making a hit song. Many of them don't even have anything to do with the music. Marketing. Image. Artist. Record Company. Radio support. TV video Rotation. On the real, one major element, if you don't have a hook up and need outside help to even get in to meet someone, it's all about the All American Art of ass kissing. Because you really need access and talent ain't always the means to an end.

But, all that aside, first and foremost, it should make you DANCE. If you move your body and head, then it's on its way. What kinds of instruments do you have? Who is your target audience and so on are also important questions to ask as well.

Anyway, good luck. I would suggest that you desire to make great music, but I understand the desire to get paid and unfortunately, played as well.

peace.

Mac Napster not registering

After a lengthy download, I have tried installing teh version 1 beta 2 Napster for Mac off your website.

On the final stage to 'register account', on clicking the button, it reads:
"connecting to query server"
...a few seconds later, reading ...
"not connected".

It seems to be making no conection, although the form is complete etc.

Please advise
kind regards
Steve

Re: Mac Napster not registering

The Napster file sharing network is currently not
available.

Please accept our apology for making a download availble,
we may have uploaded some previously removed software
listings by mistake - we will remove them again shortly.

If you want to distribute your songs on a file sharing
network then I'd suggest using one like <a href="http://www.hitsquad.com/cgi/htdig/htsearch.cgi?method=and&format=builtin-long&config=htdig&restrict=%2Fsmm%2Fprograms%2F&exclude=&words=kazaa">Kazaa</a>.

You need software that performs a function called
"Pitch Shifting".

Article to help musicians with their websites

Many independent musicians provide free downloads of music files on their websites as a way to promote themselves by getting more fans to hear their musc. These are legal downloads, not copyright infringement, as is often the case with peer-to-peer music downloads: the artists give permission for you to download their music.

Unfortunately, many artists' websites that my wife and I have found since we started downloading msuc files have made it difficult to find new artists and genres to enjoy. This is because the websites have basic usability problems that make it difficult to find the websites, find the music files on them, and get the files to download. After a few days I realized so many independent artists have websites that are so bad that they actively prevent their potential fans from learning to enjoy much of the available music.

In an effort to be helpful to the musicians, I wrote the following article:

If Indie Musicians Wanted Their Music Heard...
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2003/7/16/42521/0497

It discusses a number of the problems my wife and I found, and provides a number of helpful suggestions that, if you follow them, should result in your music reaching many more listeners.

I realize that many musicians face a problem when tring to create usable websites. Many do not have the computer skills needed to write a tasteful, easy-to-use web page with valid markup. Many also do not have the money to hire professional web designers.

I think there is hope, though, because you may be able to find friends, family members or devoted fans who are willing to design better websites for you. Sometimes novice (but skilled) web designers are willing to design websites for free, in return for a link to their own website, so that they can expand their portfolio. Perhaps there are web design classes in your school or college, or offerred by your community - you could ask the students in them to help you out with your website.

If you do get someone else to design your site, ask them to read

ADDING EFFECTS TO WAV FILES

Hi

I use a mixture of Cakewalk and Fruity Loops to make my music and have a large number of almost complete songs. The thing is i don't know how to add effects such as changing cut, width and resonance to my WAV file songs. I can add set effects, but is there a program for twiddling knobs and getting changing sounds while the file is playing. I really need to know this because all my tunes would benefit from it so much.

Thanks

Re: Vocaloid for Mac please...

There is a program called "Vocal Writer" for Mac. I haven't used it as I use a PC but it seems to be much the same. Go to http://kaelabs.com/ to download for free. I doesn't seem to be quite as hi quality as the Vocaloid seems to be but I have heard it used very effectivily. Cheers :)
