Hi,
The most modern and electronic aspects of MacroCosmic Music and ToolBox is
the presentation and the production methods I've used, indicative in the web
site...
Much of the music is recorded in my home studio using A->D conversions of the
guitar parts utilizing digital hard drive recording.  I use a PC with Cubase
Audio,
a fully integrated digital pro audio system, all guitar parts are made into
little
AIF files, clipped, mastered, looped, effected & pasted to get the best
performances.
All master recordings of the songs are digitally transfered to the hard
drive, and mastered using a software called SoundForge with the L1
UltraMaximizer.  The L1
UM plugin takes the master song file and boosts the Signal to noise ratio to
give the
maximum clarity and DB.  Then the song files are organized into a cue sheet
and then burned directly to a recordable CD medium.  These files are also
uploaded to the web site so people around the world can download them and
sample the music.  I have also
e-mailed people my music files, it is a convenient method of providing
electronic music to many folks.  Visit the website and you'll know what i mean.
Thanks
Robby D

my computer retailer said data dats would have "harder" coating and therefore

=================================================================

Chris,
I was told that the difference between a Data-Dat and a regular dat is the
composition of the particles on the tape (made for less drop-out on the data)
 I know you can record audio on a data dat, but am not sure if the freq
response is going to be as good as an audio dat (perhaps a wider range?)

Aslo-  Using a data-dat in a dat player should not hurt the player.  (think
of those who use a Panasonic 3700 to back-up info on a data-dat from their
Akai dr4 hard disk recorder

Love the group!

"Ask and ye shall receive."

Jazz is the spontaneous expression of the soul through music.
As the soul has very few restrictions in its freedoms -once liberated
...so as jazz.
The free-flowing musical form is explicative of the sencible (intellect)
emotional subject.

Of its origin, it could be stated that it may have come as a result or in
co-incidence
with the Dadist or Nihlist movements from the earliest decades of the 20th
Century.
Its developement was encouraged through the roaring 1920's speakeasies in
Harlem, St Louis and Chicago, and the most reknowned of the performers were
black.(soul)

The communist Russians had to say of the movement in the 1930's:
"It is a capitalist conspiracy in order to keep the worker's mind from his
troubles once he has left his work-place; by filling it with thoughts
resulting in acts of love-making."

Little did the Ruskies know, the McCarthy types were having their own
difficulties "getting-down with IT."

We should be a little more helpful in educating our peers, Mr. Cox.

This may represent your personal feelings about jazz but it doesn't do very
much to tell someone what it is. Adherents to any musical style will tell
you that their particular kind of music represents the "spontaneous
expression of the soul through music". I, for one, feel particularly
liberated when listening to Stravinsky, and my soul expresses itself through
music by compelling me to take out pencil and paper and write down piano
sonatas, or whatever else hits me. I may even include various rhythmic or
melodic patterns associated with jazz, but the end result is not jazz.

Leonard Bernstein's "Prelude, Fugue and Riffs" is scored for a "big band",
(Woody Herman's big band in particular) and sounds a lot like jazz, but
since it is completely written out it doesn't count as jazz. Jazz needs to
have an element of improvisation.

So I might define jazz as a kind of music employing certain rhythmic,
melodic and harmonic devices and incorporating a great deal of
improvisation. This still doesn't tell you very much.

I don't know if there's anything you can say about jazz that applies in all
cases. Best to just say listen to recordings by Louis Armstrong, Benny
Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, Art
Tatum, Mingus, etc.(I'm sure others will expand upon this list) After
listening to them, one should have a pretty good idea of what jazz is.

If you must know, the word Jazz comes from the late 1920's and is slang for
the word "Jizz" which we know is come.  Jazz is synonamous with sex, pleasure,
orgasm.  This is not a joke, Jazz is from sex.
