Here's my latest effort, I think I might try to grow it into a full-on song.

Nice, I like the song a lot. The velocity* of the single piano notes needs a wee bit of work, but otherwise, very nice piece of work. Probably your best stuff i've heard so far, IMO.







*Can you adjust the velocity of the notes with the app you're using? I'm assuming you're using your keyboard via midi, right? Actually, in between the song, the velocity adds flavor. So don't change those. Just the ones in the beginning. Don't make it all even either. Or I'll fly down to Canada (where ever you are) and smack you.

No, I'm not using MIDI. I'm just recording audio [added: in GarageBand]. So the velocity is unadjustable.

I really need to get a decent recording microphone for my acoustic guitar, and a drum machine/electronic drum kit...

Does velocity have some musical meaning of which I'm not aware? I see it and think in physics terms...

In MIDI it's the force with which you hit each key. In keyboards it's mostly measured by timing how long it takes the key to travel down. Hence, velocity

Hey, OW, I've tacked a bit more onto this, but I can't for the life of me come up with a decent melody. I'm fiddling with it, but nothing satisfactory as yet.

Hmmm... got some simple melody to add to that. I'll try to do some rough recordings for you tonight or this week for you. The thing is, there is so much going on, that adding single note melody may just make things more messy. Which is why I'm figuring out how I'm going to mix my guitar into your track properly before I do any recordings. I need to have a rough idea in my head of how the melody I have in mind is going to fit where and how.

Cool!

If you've got GarageBand 2, I can host the original file. I'll also work at turning it into a more song-like arrangement -- that is, moving toward a more ABAB structure rather than the present AAABstop.

I have Garage Band 2, but the drivers for my Line 6 PodXT with GB2 has created latency so I haven't recorded anything with GB in a while. However, I'll give it a try with the software emulators in GB2.

So monitor through the Pod not through the Mac. GarageBand lets you mute the channel you're recording on whilst recording but still recording what it's not playing through because you're monitoring it externally... right?

Butbut... what? If you play and you don't hear yourself coming out of GarageBand, only from the like headphone jack on the Pod or something how can there be a problem?

You know what, reading these threads on Line 6, I think I remember the problem not being part of GB 2.0, but Tiger itself. I can't remember. I think that's why I got GB 2.0 in hopes of getting the problem solved.

Latency Issue with PodXT and GB
Tiger compatibility

I'd read the first thread, but both are really old, and it seems like there is yet no solution beyond just using the the analog out of the PodXT to the line in of the mac to record. Which is a shame really.

What's wrong with just using the analog out? That's what I do with my GT-5.

That sounds really broken.

By the way Twinky, I'll record with my PodXT audio out instead of my USB. So go ahead and host the files if you like. I want to record some stuff and I'm not going to wait for Line6 to solve the problems. Would be ironic if tomorrow when I wake up Line6 releases new drivers that works with Tiger.

Okay. Just got to work, so it'll have to wait until I get home.

I completely forgot about this. Not sure why. Anyway, here is the current GarageBand project. Be warned, it's nearly 60MB.

I look forward to hearing your stuff!

Oh, also, my two attempts at tinkering with a lead track are included. Feel free to just mute them.
