Have been struggling away with a Yamaha digital multitracker (AW16G) this past year but when funds allow plan to move to a computer based set-up and start investigating the world of soft synths. Guitar-wise, my style has been equally influenced by 80s-ers Gilbert (think Boiling Boy, German Shepherds, IBTABA Over Theirs etc) and Seventeen Seconds era Cure and Passions/Durutti lashings of echo. Anyway, cutting to the car chase, if any projects for soemthing Wire-like to get going, I would try and contribute something, if fitting. bye, Ian ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 07:59:53 -0500 From: "Jack Alberson" Subject: RE: [idealcopy] OT Any Musos?

Obviously there's some signed musicians here (hi Tim), but I'm wondering who else plays around with audio. I'd have thought some of you out there would. I could well be wrong, of course! Well, as you may have gathered, I do. However, despite a working knowledge of Synth-ey things, I'm more of what Mr Astbury calls an 'axe-botherer' ;-) (guitarist to the rest of you) Not signed, (waaayyy too old to even dream of it as well) although I have a band in the making, but which is still very much at the stage of 'having the scaffolding up', if you know what I mean. As regards tech stuff, I can find my way round a software sampler, and have worked with various (older) versions of Cubase for sequencing. I also have a venerable old Alesis MMT8 standalone sequencer forgotten in some corner, somewhere, too. (No, I'm not going to post any mp3s to the list, don't worry...) Oh yeah:- that goes for me, too:- I'll not be bothering anyone with mp3's either ;-) Derek Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

I also have a 1987 Fender American Standard Strat Plus, and a 1997 Fender American Standard Strat Plus Deluxe that I play thru Oh, YES, YES, YES!!!!!! I've got a 1994 Fender Strat Plus Deluxe , with a little inscription on the backplate at the neck/body joint that says "40 years and still rocking". It's a vintage Blonde model, maple neck and fingerboard, w/ Fender/Lace sensors, three different 'flavours': Red for bridge, Gold for middle and Blue for the neck, set on a Tortoiseshell pick-guard. It looks and sounds like the Mutt's Nuts, and I think the attraction I feel for this inanimate object borders on the unnatural, but hey, WHAT a guitar. I 'play' it (usually) thru a Peavey Classic 30 valve combo, although if I need more welly, I'll patch in a split-lead and feed a 60's Vox AC30 head and a Marshall 4 X 12" cab, too. Effects are mainly Boss, PS-2 pitch-shifter/delay, CH-1 Chorus, Compressor and AD-2 accoustic simulator, and a DOD overdrive, all Topped off with an Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress flanger. Between them I can get some beaut sounds.................. dw Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.

You know, I have to tell you. Sometimes, I *love* IdealCopy. (^_^) This was such a great response to my e-mail - it made my day! When I was drafting my original e-mail, I wasn't sure if people wanted to hear about all my gear. To quote: I should have known better! Congrats on the 40th edition Strat Plus Deluxe, Derek. It sounds like a beauty. Just for the record, my 1997 Strat Plus Deluxe is a "3-Color Sunburst" with Pearloid pick-guard and the red/silver/blue pickups. It looks a lot like the one Bonnie Raitt plays: http://www.adirondackguitar.com/fender/electricguitars/FenMen/Bonnie.htm http://cerberus.sourcefire.com/~jeff/pics/guitars/bonnie.html But not in blue - in the optional sunburst finish. Also, the fretboard is maple, not rosewood. (^_^) There's times when I want to play this one - it has a heavier, Les Paul like tone - and my 1987 Cherry Red Strat Plus, which has a stinging, more Hendrix* like tone. Cheers, Paul NP - Live Forever - Brit Pop documentary on DVD. *You're lucky I didn't go with my original comparison to Dire Straits...

It should have read: There's times when I want to play this one - it has a heavier, Les Paul like tone - and other times when I want to play my 1987 Cherry Red Strat Plus, which has a stinging, more Hendrix* like tone.

This year has been an absolute cracker from Week One. I quite agree. Its too easy to slag off BB...especially if you don't watch it. Of course its trash, its cheap, cynical, exploitative, moronic, pointless.... Its still a better Soap Opera than ailing BBC1 show Eastenders....which involves spending hundreds of thousands of *public* money paying a vast panel of useless writers to come up with characters and storylines which no-one likes or cares about anymore (ratings are plummeting).....when C4 can put a bunch of attention seeking freaks in a studio and pay them fuck all, and get at least 40 mins of compelling drama, gritty fly-on-the-wall documentary, comedy and music-hall/pantomime every night for 10 weeks. OK its Artless shit. Or is it? I happened to come back from a night out to see the 'live sex under the table' which..in the absense of anything to film consisted of long shots of said table....with whoever was on duty, artfully focussing in on any vaguely sexual or phallic object in sight (wine bottles, corkscrew, bouncing baloons gently swaying the in the breeze....) before they cut the live footage..... ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V7 #225 *******************************
