Help a beginner

I want to learn how to use the neccessary equipment to compose electronic music though i have no idea what i need to buy or what computer software in order to begin to put the sounds in my head into a musical form. Is anyone prepared to help me by spending a bit of time as a teacher, I'm young and skint though so it would have to be an act of kindness. I live in the Chesterfield/Sheffield area and can travel wherever on my motorbike. I generally like Hard House, Techno, House et al. Mail me.

Re: What is this song called? Help please?

Going Nowhere Fast by Satanic Surfers

Okay, those are certainly two great bands to cite, but I don't hear any Misfits influence on this CD (excepting a hidden bonus track, "Evil 2," an homage to Danzig's solo material) and how they do get "Surfers" from "Hard-Ons?" The Devilish Dicks must have been their second choice.

Maybe coz they're from Sweden they don't know any better.

(I know what you're thinking: a) why didn't I mention this info from the bio earlier and thus avoid the need for a lenghty preface and dumb debate over the worthiness of a band name, I mean what do I care what their name is, and more importantly, what do you care what I think about the name when you are here to read a review and maybe discover a new band to listen to, and b) why can't I let it go. Well, a) it gave me on opportunity to wonder aloud about the importance of band names and cover art in today's information culture, and b) I'm officially letting it go...right...now.)

(Aside: What's with the Swedish punk scene? It seems like every new band I start listening to- Refused, Millencolin, now SS- is from Sweden. What's there to be punk about in Sweden? Maybe it's making those watches, with all those little parts and delicate accuracy, a lot of stress that needs release. Or maybe it's that world-political neutrality, all that repressed, unrealized war-mongering anger. No. Wait; watches and neutrality... That's Switzerland. Never mind.)

What's most amazing is that the two strengths of the Price of Darkness' Waverunners, drums and lead vocals, are performed by the same dude. In studio, this is no big feat. But live this is got to be something to see and hear, considering the complexity, speed, and energy of the banging and the quality of the singing (how does he keep his breath?)

All 14 songs are good. "Worn Out Words," "Wishing You Were Here," "What Ever," and "Big Bad Wold" are my favs. I especially like the labor-union political lyrics of "The ballad of Gonzo Babbleshit." Plus the title./ But my favorite lyrics are from "That Song":

I could write a thousand songs about my anger/ But it wouldn't change a thing in this world/ I know that for a fact but it makes me feel a whole lot better/ That's why I do this in the first place

That should cover it.

P.S. Checking the Board:

* clever ways to avoid writing Satanic Surfers over and over- 3 (Unholy Hang-Tenners, SS, Prince of Darkness' Waverunners)

* annoying references to the self-referentiality of websites- 2

* uses of the post- prefix or the word post-modern- 0 (the therapy is working (only ostensibly maybe, coz this review does not lend itself to using post- stuff; shh, don't tell my therapist, she thinks we're making "progress"))

removing drivers from mac?

how does 1 remove a driver? (mac g4 OSX dual processor)
i stalled my soundcard (delta 1010LT) then downloaded the new driver from midiman. since ive done that itunes has become dead, although i can get playback from cubase.
when i double click on an mp3...itunes comes up, it shows the song in the view but it doesnt play, the time line doesnt move either. i hit play countless time & nothing. itunes worked fine until after installing the driver for my soundcard

Re: removing drivers from mac?

osx 10.3.5 + maudio delta 66 drivers 1.1.6 and 1.1.7 (available only from m-audio.de)

and fcp 4.5 + shake 3.5

delta 66 has become the worst computer-related purchase i've ever made. 10.3.5 update from apple combined with m-audio's 1.1.6 (and 1.1.7) driver updates, cause sporadic, random crashes/locks/audio-stops-working-during-playback/and total system freezes.

because maudio support ignored me (i've bought several maudio cards over the years), i went looking around google. no user support forums at maudio, for good reason! i found many reports about many different maudio cards causing similar problems. therefore, my acidic recommendation:

warning, stay away from maudio -- they sold to avid/digidesign and have just plummeted.

warning, stay away from maudio products. they have become shit.

warning, buy anything else but maudio.

Re: removing drivers from mac?

What version of OSX are you using??

Have you checked out Audiomidi Setup in Applications>Utilities ?

If you get really stuck, there are people that can help elsewhere...

avoid maudio products

Remove instrument?

How would one remove one instrument from a duo instrument recording, (in this case; remove accordion, leave bass)?

Re: Remove instrument?

You probably wouldn't. If the instrument occupies the same frequencies as the other one, you will only succeed in getting rid of both instruments.

Re: i don't know the title & artist of the song but i know some

In GENERAL, does anyone know a good website to find song titles and artists when all they know are some of the lyrics? I have a ton of cassettes recorded off the radio from years ago, with songs I have no idea who sings, but I love them and want to buy the CDs. It's been impossible trying to identify them! Help!
