Nickel particles all over yer bread man. Die mother fuckers!!!!!
Ok, I feel better now.
@HipHugHer - good point.

Who's your favorite jazz trumpet player? I'm partial to Lee Morgan myself. First runner-up would be Freddie Hubbard. Also I've been listening to Woody Shaw for the last several hours and I like him a lot

Not Nearly as Handsome as Advertised.
All I know is I like that fucking keyboard player playing trumpet in Cake. Sorry @nukes, it's not jazz.
I have some Freddie Hubbard in my computer. Does that count?
I’m partial to Herp Albert though.
He’s known as Herp here.

FUck yes, Tijuana Brass! HE's still kicking - 84!
Oh, trust me , I know. Son has all his albums, some on vinyl even. And Hugh Masakela too.
can i chat software in here for a minute?
@adi not sure how much you know about ableton but check this out. i found it a couple weeks ago but just sat down with it and really played with it for the first time yesterday.
ableton has a "session view" where you arrange songs with looping clips instead of the usual left-to-right arrangement that every other program uses. it's essentially like a spreadsheet where the columns are each instrument and the rows are different song sections for that instrument. you arrange by playing around triggering them, looping them, and modifying them live.
someone wrote a plugin for m4l/msp that actually makes it code-able as if it were an excel sheet.
it's insanely functional. i can only imagine the usefulness it'll have for drum programming with some of the rhythm coding options. you can take a rhythm from any existing clip and constrain it to only use the notes in any other clip, so essentially you could make a melody that follows the drum line but only uses the diatonic notes from one of your harmony clips playing chords.

I like that spreadsheet/downward layout. Reminds me of Vycro, which is strictly for changing up stored drum and instrument patterns in Yamaha keyboards. Can get addictive.
i dont know much about ableton def baba
but this is very cool besides the functionality it will save processing power and youll be able to open more tracks instruments and pluginsim guessing
i do know excel quite well though lol maybe i should give ableton another try
the best part is that it communicates directly with the horizontal "arrangement view" once you hit the record button. and you can see the code of each clip in the arrangement afterward (my project from last night playing with this).
learning curve is steep. i've been using it for 5 years now I think...maybe 6. RTFM is very sound advice for this program but it's a beast once you have the keyboard shortcuts down and have figured out how it operates between sessions and arrangements.
the chaining feature on effect racks is crazy powerful too. i can split anything into multiple effect chains and split those even further like an endless decision tree. i had one kick drum that i fed through so many chains that i think there were 12 different versions of it finally going to the master.
You can chat about anything you want in here, def. You're a cut above the bowling alley type clientele I usually get in here.
