How do you jam over skype without latency problems?

Hey we need some more ocremixers on ninjam. I never see any of you on here. If you don't know what this is, it is an online jam. It is fun and very natural after you get used to it. To fight internet delay, the sound instead is delayed by metronome beats. Cool huh? Wanna play some blues? Set the delay to 48 hehe. Pretty damn cool program. So go download Reaper and try it out. It comes with Reaper. And get this, it's only a 4mb download I believe. I installed it (make sure to check ninjam and any other features you want) and it now takes up a whopping 13mb. Also it loads fast and is kick ass DAW. Speaking of kick ass features, it has plenty. For one it is smaller and faster and has awesome routing. It is also very easy to use. Learned how to do everything critical (sidechain, pitch bend range, routing, automation) in about an hour. (although it is my 3rd DAW that I have learned and I remember being completely lost learning FL studio) Also it has support for DSP cards and it can even split processing to other computers on the network!?! The guys programming this update it like every week too. The only thing negative I can say coming from FL studio is that there is no drum sequencer pattern creator (like the one in FL) and the piano roll is not as fast as FL's (I still think it works fine once I modified the buttons). Also it is a tool-less editor so that may be the biggest learning curve if you are used to one. Also multiple piano rolls can be opened which is cool. Oh also one more drawback is there are no ghost channels (really helps me with composing). Now I have to use my ear more or flip through the midi data looking for the notes. So get on ninjam and come play.There might be a way to use it without reaper, but who in the world doesn't have reaper installed on his or her computer!! 13mb after installation. Go install it now and play. edit-- Here is a server list - http://ninjam.dyndns.org/index-new.php Here is the program itself - http://www.reaper.fm/ I was in a server the other day with the rule "No spectrum hogging instruments eg - No guitars, no drums". Everyone was playing their ambient synths and it was quite fun. Also I have been the drummer using my keyboard and that was also pretty kickin sweet. So ya get on ninjam, and if you have never tried it before, then you need to try it before judging.

Snapple why does your guitar have 12 pickup magnets on it (or however many it is). What kind of a pickup is that? How do you like that Carvin guitar? Thanks

that is so cool

it was cheap and a good deal if it was in good shape.

2 problems - 1 .Using guitar pro with RSE - It can't be done while FL studio is open. Is there a way around this? I tried switching guitar pro RSE instruments to direct sound instead of ASIO, but sound quality was lacking (lots of crackles). I want to record or even play along for that matter with my soft synth and guitar pro running. And I don't want to export the guitar pro to an mp3 because I am reading the music. Yes I could eventually memorize the music, but I've seen people on youtube playing while guitar pro is open. quick fact about the problem - I can open a different soft synth in the standalone and play guitar pro with RSE. This works for playing along, but the soft synth I really want to use is VST only. edit Ok this only worked because the soft synth was using direct sound and surprisingly enough cpu to handle it without asio. When both are asio, guitar pro RSE kicks out. There can only be one asio program at one time I guess. 2. Guitar pro is showing the right tab, but the wrong music notation. In the song I am learning, Sea of Lies by Symphony X, the guitars and stuff are D tuned (low open string is a D instead of an E). For example the music is showing an E, but the tab is showing a D and the music is playing a D. This goes throughout the whole song. Every note is off by two semi tones. I think it has something to do with the lower tuning. If there were a way to visually transpose (not musically) the music notation but NOT the tab, that would be the ideal fix. I just don't know how to do that. thanks, max81503850310

He seems to be in great agony. He is also pinned to a cross.

Wait why don't you touch the strings with your fingers? Also I have heard of people laying paper or different materials over the strings to get a different sound. Is that ok?

O shit? Like snap back and kill you? Damn one time I was "whammying" on it with the tuner peg lol. Damn thanks for the info. Is this true?

Yea the voices on those casios suck compared to free software. I would recommend this for a cheap, sub $100 keyboard. http://www.jr.com/maudio/pe/MIM_KEYRIG49M/ Best option would be to go to the music store and try some different models.

ah I see now

Well said Tensei-San. The little string stopping sponges and wrench tools are only $10 and it is easy to tune a "really weird G" back into tune when the rest of the piano is fine. professional piano tuners are rip offs. edit: see the pipe method above

That sounds pretty crazy. Why wouldn't you simply record the midi data and play the soundfont that way? And even if you wanted to record audio, why don't you just route the output of the soundfont player into the DAW's audio recorder? Sending the signal out from the soundcard to the keyboard and then back in is unnecessary. In fact, the keyboard IS a soundcard. It does D/A and A/D. It should never be more complicated than this picture True to that. Same exact sounds/effects as the tone port UX2.

if it was a piano, maybe you need to tune the G# strings. There are one, two, or three strings back there for every note, For instance, if you hit the G# fairly high up on the piano, there are actually three G#'s playing. Look inside piano to see that the G# hammer is hitting three G# strings and tune them to each other and the piano.

Wow Hoboka this sounds better than anything I have ever heard from you. Where did you get that nice breathing sample? I liked most of the vocals lol. Except 138 in progress. Where did you get those samples? The beginning was incredible I liked it

I am going to give you an general example and hopefully you can figure out your specific case. Overview of process - read zircon's post above How to do it in FL Route pads to mixer track 3 Route kick to mixer track 2 Insert vst effect Peak Controller into mixer track 2 Uncheck mute. As of now, nothing should have changed soundwise. Insert a compressor or volume vst into track 3. I will use a volume knob (fruity balance). Right click on the volume knob then click link to controller. Select the peak controller you previously made. Now you can screw around with the peak controller tension, LFO, and what have you to achieve the desired result. Alternatively you could use a vst that supported sidechaining. either way works. Have any more questions post them

Excellent contribution Snapple. Relative pitch is pretty crucial. I don't know how everyone else trains their ears, but I can highly recommend the David Lucas Burge Relative Pitch course. I don't know how good the perfect pitch course is?? but the relative pitch course has taught me a lot! I can identify intervals by ear quickly without having to using mnemonics like "That's here comes the bride - a 4th". I can also identify chords. Major, minor, dim, aug, min7, maj7, 7, 7b5, aug7, maj9th, min9th, maj6th, min6th by ear. I haven't finished the course yet though. It is hard.

Ok you are right. I think I meant to say analyzing the notes inside the chords. Sorry about that.

I fully agree with you that identifying chords has nothing to do with perfect pitch. Where did you get the idea that I said analyzing chords by ear was perfect pitch? Are you even reading my posts? Sorry to be such an ass, but I never said that or at least never meant to.

I wasn't quoting wikipedia. Let me clarify my argument with a concrete example. At piano lessons, there are two guys: Bill and Michael who have perfect pitch. If I play any note, say a Bb all by itself without any warmup, they will say Bb. This is known as perfect pitch: identifying a note without a reference tone. With the ease that we can separate the color red from the color blue, they can separate Bb from the other notes. I also played chords for both of them. Bill got almost all of the individual notes inside the chords right but Michael did not do nearly as well. Sure enough Michael has perfect pitch, but he gets confused when more than one note is played at a time. Bill has better perfect pitch than Michael. This is where my argument about there being a grey area stems from. edit: Here are some analogies from the sound world to the vision world. I talked with Bill and he said this is about how it works. He also made sure to point out that he is NOT actually seeing colors. He is "seeing" colors in the sense that he can tell the notes apart. Although some people do see colors, but that is another topic called synthenesia (where your senses are crossed I guess). Here are those analogies -

just because it's called "perfect" or "absolute" pitch doesn't make it so. It is very possible to have better perfect pitch than someone else. Most people with perfect pitch can do solo notes just as well as the next guy/gal with perfect pitch, but when chords are thrown in there, they can get confused and make mistakes whereas other people don't get confused by chords as much. So there definitely is a grey area.

satch learned it in his teens and vai can do it a little bit. Also my band teacher could do it a little bit. There are probably lots of other case examples out there.

this is what you are looking for. http://line6.com/toneportkb37/
