no,, i don't have THAT disease;; i meant the Digital/Analogue code to let us know HOW the CD was recorded;;mastered and whatever..

first D means it was recorded digitally as the artist was performing.. "A" would have meant using OLD analogue tape machines..

2nd "D" means it was edited/mastered digitally (i think);; "A" wudda meant on analogue equiptment..

3rd "D" means;; ???? i think it was "Pressed" digitally;; but not sure..

maybe someone cas explain better;; but absolutly i hav no disease..

Were you in a group or a famous performer???

[rayzray]

Were you in a group or a famous performer???

lol,, i could have been;; i had it all;; the talent;; the ability;; the "DREAM";; and i WAS famous you can say in my area..

i started with a 5 piece band;; then 4;; then 3;; then duo;; then about 20 years as THE one man band with all my fweakin synths..

((42 years in all;; plus about 9 as a DJ inthere somewherezz))..

i turned down all the contracts;; i fought the "system" i F***ed the world;; and got away with it..

basically;; my FATHER helped me out as a musician before i started making REAL money;; got me everything;; then he got sick and i wouldn't leave the area;; or him.. the big money didn't mean anything;; all i did was make rich ppl richer and turned jerks into assholes;; including myself..

ask my two "X's" (who still love me);; and my present (sp) wife who adores me for my open-ness ??sp??!!

if yous could do half the things i've done in my life;; youss would be on the road to happiness..

isn't happiness the biggest part of "Da Pie;; why;; shy guys fail;; wise-guys prevail..

*and i NEVER did drugs+ this is really "me" rayzray..

i cudda been famous;; could write songs;; could play;; was a great asshole;; everyone says i should write a book about myself..

F**k them;; *as i sit her in my lonely PC chair with all me memories*..

i am HAPPY;; i F***ked the world and got away with it..

now i teach my students and grandchildren how to..

i finally loaded it into my two Hi-MD900's and listened to it as i took my evening "nap";; i think i got about 5 songs in "consciencely" mmmm (sp);; i thought they were good ,, but not great;; that is;; not "Rush-like" or not Rushistically..

are they trying to go "Pop"?? or are they losing their "PoP'' STOP;; let me try it again;;STOP!! crop this a bit;; RUsh is Rush;; and we love them no matter how many Driers they need on a stage..

late next day edit]] ok,, so i found time in my long day of doing almost nothing to listen to the rest of the album;;

i kinda like it from Track 6 on;; it's more Rushy;; plus i have the volume UP ^^^^ and my daydreaming DOWN vvvv..

so far i only like Tracks 6 and

Track ?? (The Way That Wind Blows)..

i think they are "losing it" they should "hang it up";; if they can't do better than "This";; maybe they should start writing "comic books" or something;; maybe a TV comic series..

and i can't seem to find the "Drum solo'' ;; i always looked forward to the "drum Solos";; wtf;; soooo much talent in this group;; are they "getting old"??!!

Listening to Whams! Last Christmas

[rayzray]

still trying to "Digest" Rush's NEW CD!! i am taking the word for it from my internet/member friend that it's great;; and rumors from other members that is is great;;

i am hanging my personality for this and trying to get an open mind;; but refuse to LISTEN to the lyrics;; i cant figure out where all those harmonizing voices are coming from;; possibly from an old Roland Harmonizer MIDI'd to the keyboard/computer.. like the one i still have..

i am up to 4 songs i like;; 3 more and i concider the CD a success.. not a sucksess..

i am toying with the fact (as i listen to this);; with putting it digitally onto a standard MD and "Deviding" it to death and "programming it into a wonderful Rayzray Remix.. *how da hell u spell deviding & concider*..

what ever;; i CAN find time for Rush in my "Rushed" world..

[rayzray]

thanks Sony MD-Deck;; for making me a phat man!!

i am listening to my (Girl Version) of Barry Gibb's "To love somebody",, sung by him on American Idol last night;;

but of course,, i can't give my piano student (Girl) a "MAN"S" version with the words "I'm a Man....";; so i put it in my Sony MD Deck;; and sliced out the word "Man" and went to the same measure in the 1st verse and devided out the word "Way"..

soooo, he sings "I'm a-way" which is much better for a girl to sing along with than the "I'm a Man" version..

just one of the things that makes Minidisk the BEST media for editing and make be the BEST "Phat Guru" around here (R.I. USA)..

then,, i took Jordin's two songs and edited them TOGETHER in a seamless medley (To Love Somebody/Woman In Love) and impressed my wife;; i think i am gonna get desert tonight..!!

Edited May 10, 2007 by rayzray

think i am gonna get desert tonight..!!

Hopefully with chocolate sauce!!!

Take care,

Bob,

BTW, I got the Rush album, goes back a bit, but sounds pretty good to me, I really like the instrumentals.

[Strungup]

listening to an F22 doing rounds over head , it is raining and dark up there so visibilty is zero so he has to be flyin by wire , but he is awful close to treetop at times. They are putting that bird thru its paces , very different sound from the 16's always around here. Vectored engines and fully controllable airsurface.

That is a lot of aircraft to be toying with

[rayzray]

BTW, I got the Rush album, goes back a bit, but sounds pretty good to me, I really like the instrumentals.

it is growing on me;; and i am forcing myself to like it cause of all of yous liking it..

i DO "BUY" all of Rush's cd's and DVD;; and i WILL buy their DVD of this when it comes out;; they ARE one of the greatest bands ;; they just like to "Toy" with us..

and Guitarfxr::

why didn't you record the F22;; it must sound different in that inclimate weather;;

TullFan just saw them at an air-show in Va-USA

and,, didn't one just "Crash" not too long ago at an air-show??

Edited May 10, 2007 by rayzray

[rayzray]

I GOT IT!!

i was listening to the RUsh CD in my bedside Hi/MD900;; and was bored;; so,, i put it on a faster speed (EDIT:: 18% faster);; i "LIKE" it;; THAT's what was wrong with it;; it was toooo slow.. (EDIT:: i believe a HI-MD unit CANNOT do just 18% speed adjustment;; it has incraments)..

so,, now i am listening to the CD play on my big azz Numark Axis9 DJ-CD-Deck;; and have the speed boosted up a bit..

now,, it is "Rockin";; like even my cats are switching rooms..

i am putting it on my "Zebra" Standard MD;; gonna edit it and zap it to a CD-R for archiving..

then wend it to my Hi-MD900's for to Party With at da coffee shoppe..

this is fweakin good;;"Meditation Medication' as they sing ;; or is it vice versa??

Edited May 12, 2007 by rayzray

[rayzray]

so,, one of my piano students (girl 23 yrs old) asks me to copy three belly-dancing VHS tapes to DVD;; soo i do;; then i even make Chapters;; then,, i just watch them for a while just to make sure i done it right;; LOL..

now,, i make an audio CD of the belly-daning songs;; there are NO names for the songs on the VHS Tape;; so i name them by numbers.. (Dance 1,, Solo 1 etc)..

now,, they are in my Hi-MD900's;; i am ready to try MY belly-dance routines at da coffee shoppe.. and that's what i am listening to..

listening to a rough edit of my remix or Rush's Snakes & Arrows (on a standard MD);; where,, i (rayzray) takes out ALL the vocals of the whole CD and leaves just the intrumentals;; intros;; turnarounds;; licks and bits;; even a one measure lick is fine for me;; i can loop it into an 8 measure diddy;; not "P" but me..

it sounds good so far;; just needs to be re-adjusted and re-aligned;; possibly re-fixed and re-twixed..

i probably can make a drum solo in there somewheres;; and extend that loney treble-pick-a-dilly bass riff which seems rare hare;; bare with me;; i'll let you know if i can get this better than this..

[Quick update} going EXTREMELY well;; i can listen to this all day!!
