Subject: ACOS Project Update; Tools of the trade
Message-ID: <199708290307.WAA14916@frost.snowhill.com>
Just wanted to let everyone know where I was on the ACOS project. I have
currently finished checking through Crimson Sunrise, Carpe Diem, The
Darkest of Winters, and the Crimson Sunset. I've found several errors in
all except for Carpe Diem. Currently checking Inevitable Summer (with
errors again). I haven't revised any files yet (pen and paper right now),
but I'm hoping that after Monday to have the revised files available to
you.
I may have a file available that contains some parts that I am really
debating about how to transcribe. There are about 5 parts now that I am
really debating about (strangely none of them are the real fast runs -- not
that I can play the fast runs, but Petrucci is so darn clean in his
technique -- most are chords).
Now, let me divulge some of my transcribing secrets to you guys. First of
all, check out http://www.replayinc.com/ . They have a program called
CD-looper. It slows down the song up to 4X without lowering the pitch.
The sound can be a little poppy, but definitely worth the $60 (?) price.
They have a demo available. Check it out! I can't imagine transcribing a
song without it now. The day of slowed down tapes is over for me.
Petrucci's licks are easily figured out with this. In fact, only a couple
of times did I have to slow it down to 3X. The bass might be more
difficult even though the pitch is not dropped.
The other program I use regularly is Tabestry, now known again as Bucket
O'Tab. They can be found at http://www.his.com/~gse/bucket/ . Again they
have a demo. It can import and export ASCII tab. It can handle 7 strings
as well as insert odd time signatures. It can print out nice TAB!! It can
play the music via MIDI (but it is not that great). Some of you may want
to get this as well. Later, I will make my Tabestry files available on an
individual basis for those who wish to get this program and get a "better
than ASCII" version of ACOS to print out.
Now...back to checking...

Can anyone tell me their experiences with the German Music Express? I was

reliable (I'm always hesitant about sending my cc# to a business I haven't
dealt with before). If anyone can give me some info on them, I would very

Hey Vai fans out there--
I was loking thru some of my bro's old guitar magazines and found a 1990

Now that would be a bit more tough :). Occasionally the radio here
will play something different by Yes. I don't hear ELP much on the
radio (of course, i don't listen to it that much). I did hear
Marillion once a while back on a station that was doing something
about songs from the 80's.

Hehe :). I did hear this song on the radio last night while driving
back from Hannibal, MO (musical wasteland). That's a big deal for
that area, too. Not only did I hear that, but I also heard Crue's
Girls, Girls, Girls :) and a kick ASS instrumental version of Low
Rider that has some ripping guitar playing on it (who was this?
Anybody know? They didn't announce it, but it reminded me a lot of
Steve Vai). Same station. It was 105.9 KZZK out of Quincy, IL.

Technically they mean the same thing. Synthesizer basically means "Using
synthesized (a.k.a. sampled) sounds." Usually what I refer to as a good
synth I'll call a keyboard, and I'll call a mediocre one a synth. Not that
the X5's mediocre, but heheh. My X3's a Music Workstation and can kick
it's ass. :) Anything with a built in speaker and 32 note + polyphony is
where I generally consider something a keyboard. It's just my way of
putting down "girly" keyboards. heheh
Did that make any sense? I hope not.

Drink lotsa TheraFlu and avoid milk like the plague. Don't eat Taco Bell
before a performance. My friend says he sings better after a glass of
lemoade. heh. Never tried it. Make sure to give yourself a good warm up.
Start low and slowly build up. Don't shock your system by drinking
something cold in the middle of a performance, if you really feel the need
to drink something. Don't smoke. Period. And, well, I'm starting to
sound like a U2 song, so I'll stop. :)
>Can anyone tell me their experiences with the German Music Express?
Very reliable. They sent my Time Lost CD to me within 2 weeks.
Impressive.
>How are they getting 2 bonus tracks on a CD whose recording time is

Two words: Dimensionally Transcendentalism. In layman's terms they are
convoluting towards exceeding the dimensional capacity limitations of
phyical read/write data area on the compact disc and force the locations of
the musical tracks to be recognized in quantam space. Pretty simple when
you think about it.

Man, you think this list is bad sometimes, try the South Park mailing
list... if you don't know what South Park is, tune into Comedy Central Wed
nights at 10p/9p central for the funniest cartoon since the Simpsons or
B&B. (It's also on Sunday nights at 12a/11p central. That mailing list is
mostly (stupid) AOLers and losers that can't cut out their headers. So be
glad the 'Jam is so cool. :-) although it did take us 2900 or so jams to
get to be this cool.
Just saw tonight that ELP is playing in Milwaukee the 20th of Sept. Cool
huh? But wait... guess who's in town at a different place that night?
Yup, Marillion. Sigh... decisions decisions. FNM is on the 25th of
Sept... Machine Head/Coal Chamber on the 23rd....Good week for shows in
Milwaukee!!
As for all this talk of Radio stuff. You might know that I host a radio
show... It is on a non-commercial Community station in Madison, WI. I talk
to record companies who market their albums to me. Any Major label that
has a new album out calls me (or hires a few marketing companies to do it),
e-mails me or sends me stuff to try to get me to play it and report to the
Radio trades (to get good chart numbers)... and I'm only a Metal show. In
the same vein, the higher priced departments at these record labels do the
same thing, but on a higher scale to the more Rock orientated stations.
These rock stations (the bigger ones at least) don't really have too much
to say about what they play. These stations pay consultants who "test"
songs in "listening auditoriums" and rate them into what Demographic the
song fits into. Or something like that... these so-called music experts
know the songs that people will like... So unless the program director at a
particular station feels that a song will do well, and make it so people
don't tune out. Tuning out is the worst thing for a radio station, and
frankly for the average listener... long cool stuff from Dream Theater is
too much for them to understand and they tune out. Until you are a "DJ",
you don't know how stupid the average listener is... it's amazing that they
found the station to begin with... Metallica "one" will be on, and someone
will call up... "Can you play 'one' from Metallica?" that's just an
example. As much as I love DT, they'll never be as big as Queensryche or
Metallica or whoever... but with every Album DT gets bigger, and we can
only hope it gets picked up somehow... too bad MTV sucks now... All Elektra
has to do is pay MTV gobs of money to play the video...
So, in other words... don't get on the DJ's case too much, they'll get
fired if they play too much stuff that's not on their music log...
call/write/e-mail the Program Directors... and if you live in Madison,
WI... tune in after Sept. 9 to 89.9FM on Monday nights between 11p-2a...
you'll heard DT. If yer not Madison, find your local college
station...usually the person that hosts the show picks the music, ask them
to play it! (The official Radio "ADD DATE" for DT is Sept. 9th...FYI)
that's it for now...
Matt
P.S. I still like Mike Bahr...if he weren't around where would we get this
high quality stuff from? If you don't like him or what he's doing, don't
talk to him or buy his stuff.(I just *had* to get my 2 cents in on that
matter) I STILL gotta get some money to him...maybe some OT at work next
week will help. <grin>
