I have a new celloooooo!

Yeah cello.....preddy cool...one of my top 10 fave instrument sounds (amongst guitar, keyboards [if you pick the right sounds!], bass, sitar, tamboura, harp, bass and countless drum/percussion sounds).

I tend to listen to quite a lot of music which could be described as solemn (did I spell that right?) or funeral-like. I'd say for me that can be really uplifting but I feel that a cello is fantastic for creating that sort of musical effect.

 

I'm flattered Michael, thanks.

Merlin - do you like Azure Ray? I keep listening to November by them, it has a beautiful string part.

 

YOu gave your cello a name?

 

Yeahhhhhhhh, and my bass is called Sebastian!

 

wow i love cello,


at the moment i'm working on an ambient remix with cello fetures
yo yo ma-bach's cello suite(copywright violation but don't tell any1

if u have any recordings i don't mind 2 use those

could be anything even 1 of your practice recording as soon as i got the cello sound.

ps:i do remixes 4 myself not in proffessional angel

 

My recording software comprises of Sound Recorder. I really should get something decent. Anybody know anything free and good?

 

I remember a program called Internet Tapedeck by recordlab/Midisoft that was fantastic and free, but after a search it seems the company has started selling it for money

I think N-Track has a free evaluation version of their multitrack software...just google it

 

Sound recording is down to the Mic quality surely. Like the look of the machine. My 10 year daughter has been playing for a year, shall show her your pictures.

 

The quality of the reocrding is down to the microphone and the environment of recording, but I think Z's (sorry, still can't spell your name without thinking about it ) problem with sound recorder is the time limit and the lack of multitracking.

If I remember correctly, Sound Recorder doesn't save directly to the hard drive while recording - it only saves the recording in the RAM. This means you'd have a considerable limit on the time of the recording. I can't remember if the limit is 60 seconds or a minute, but it's not enough to record something fairly large.

Multitracking is possible, but very difficult. You'd have to record two tracks perfectly timed to merge with each other (with no time reference to keep one in time with the other), then use the Mix function. I think that task would even make Beethoven cry

 

60 seconds OR a minute?! Wow. Yeh, it's both. It's all rather sucky. My mic is inbuilt with my laptop, I just need some software that allows multitracking and recording for more than a minute. I have a roundabout way of recording things that are more than a minute, but it's a major ballache.

I like Z. I think I'll sign off with it

Z xxx

 

Check out n-track, if that isn't any good I'll see if I can find an old copy of that Recordlab software for you, as that's the best free recording thing to use, IMHO

 

I use Garageband at school sometimes, I'm rubbish on it! Mehhhh I want some softwarrrre...

 

go 2 your local pc world and check out "magix music maker"software.
it's not expensive,and very practical u can do anything,i think u can put
14 tracks on top of each other and has plenty samples,and got all this recording things,and no recording limit
even laptops must have mic line in socket.

 

if u got the wright software recordin is so unbelievible easy,u can check each track's bpm(beat per min.)and adjust it
i'v tried magix and e-jay,i found magix is easiest and the cheeapest.

 

I can send you Cool Edit, four track mixer based on Cubase ....

 

I used to use a Magix recording program myself. It was pretty good...I especially liked the easy-to-use noise reducer, since a lot of guitar tracks I made had hum from the screen's interference

 

I use professional sw but I think cool edit should definately work well for you.
PS hey cello has the most beautiful timbre!
