Record Companies Finally Win One
October 5, 2007 in News
After all the lawsuits they have started, they finally won one.
In a major win for record companies seeking to establish precedent for prosecuting those who trade copyrighted material on the Internet, a federal jury awarded six firms $222,000 in damages from a Minnesota woman who shared music online. Jammie Thomas, 30, was ordered to pay $9,250 for each of 24 songs that were part of the case. The complaint alleged that she had shared 1,702 copyright-violating songs online. The Associated Press quotes Richard Gabriel, lead attorney for the music companies: “This does send a message, I hope, that downloading and distributing our recordings is not OK.”
What does this mean? Good question…….

Auto-Discover Free Music With Indy
April 20, 2005 in Articles
Found this via Slashdot:
Indy is a free p2p music download system, which is a new way for independent musicians to find their listerners. From Buzzsonic News, "Indy uses collaborative filtering, a system similar to that used by Amazon to recommend books, etc, to prospective buyers, to learn about your musical preferences in relation to other Indy users.
Will the RIAA go after them. Probably.

Saxquest.com

johnnyq writes “I was searching the web a while ago trying to find places to try out horns in the area or a site online I could order from. I found this site www.saxquest.com it seems like its a reliable site but I wanted to know if anyone has used this site or heard of it as being reliable. Thanks a lot.”
I do not think I personally have bought anything from them. That being said, I have heard of them. If you are going to purchase a horn, I would definitely call and talk with them. Another place to get horns is from Woodwind and Brasswind.

Do you know any FREE music writing program??
May 2, 2004 in Articles
An anonymous coward writes “Hey, I wanted to ask you all if you know any site where I could download a free program for writing my music. I’ve looked in the internet and so far I haven’t found anything.
Thanks, any help would be very grateful.”
Free as in notation software or midi sequencing? For notation, try Finale Notepad.

MP3.COM Content to be Erased
November 21, 2003 in Articles
From this article: “Vivendi Universal recently sold the MP3.com domain to c|net, and instead of selling its archive, containing more than a million songs by 250,000 artists, the company will simply delete the content. Mike Robertson, founder and former CEO of MP3.com is currently pleading with Vivendi and CNET to allow archive.org to mirror the contents. Since many of these artists won’t be able to come up with alternate hosting in that timeframe, and many of them won’t even know it’s happening, what Robertson calls “the largest collection of digital works ever assembled” will cease to exist.”
Personally, CNet.com sucks. Their editors half the time don’t really know what the hell they are talking about. Their site is an Ad sponsered hype zone” where they talk about things people are “paying” them to talk about. I hope all these artists are able to get their stuff off MP3.com.

More Transcriptions
June 29, 2003 in Sheet Music
jazguy64 writes “This is my first post, but I’ve been checking out this site for a couple of years. Anyway I just wanted to share my transcriptions with your members. I try and put up at least 1 new transcription a week sometimes more. No particular artist, just whoever I’m listening too that week. All solos are PDF’s and were originally done on Finale 2002. OK enough with the details. Check them out, enjoy the website.

Thanks…Charles”
Some good solos there. Thanks for the link!

Microphones Reviewed (With Sax Sounds)
February 27, 2003 in Articles
In my never ending quest for information on microphones, and recording, I came across this site which has some great clips. It’s German, but the guys did a nice job with playing the same thing into a bunch of different mics. They however seemed to like the Russian mics (which I’ve never heard of) over even Nuemann mics. The Mics I was interested in hearing, the AKG 414 and Rode NTK, are on the page and sound great. Anyone else have any good sites for comparison of mics and sound clips?

Real Book and PDFs
August 4, 2002 in Articles
Once upon a time, someone decided to compile the “definitive” real book. This idea has grown into an industry, featuring nearly 20 volumes of books with songs that musicians should know.
Once upon a time, a website was created in the hopes to compile a huge digital real book.
The two dreams clashed, reminiscent to the fight scene in Braveheart, and thus, one dream was crushed.
However, the idea lives on. Wouldn’t be cool if one dream was embraced by the other? Imagine being able to take a Tablet PC to a gig and have every tune imaginable?

Schoenbergize That Webpage
July 18, 2002 in Articles
The WebPlayer is a Shockwave app that turns a web page into music by converting the HTML into numbers and then running that through formulas developed by Arnold Schoenberg, who came to be known as the inventory of atonalism in music, and influential in serialism, which aims to produce music by controlling aspects of the music with number series. Don’t expect Beethoven, but sometimes the output is nice.
The Google front page produced a pretty soothing bit of background sound the first time I tried it. However, the program does vary in how it generates the music. So, you won’t get the same results twice.

“New York State Of Mind” Alto Sax Solo
July 17, 2002 in Articles
piazza4mvp writes “Does anybody know where I can find the Alto Sax Arr. For the Sax part in Billy Joel’s “New York State Of Mind”… I especially want to play the solo, and was wondering if there was an alternative to figuring it out, or finding a Billy Joel songbook(I don’t want to do that because I only like that one song, and don’t want to pay for an artist I’m not intrested in, aside from one song)”
Well, I don’t think you’re going to find it for free. You might want to just sit down and figure it out. It’s not a hard solo.

Electronic Musician’s Studio Article
July 5, 2002 in Articles
Electronic Musician Magazine has a great article, or articles, on building a studio on any budget. I really thought the $15,000 Mac Hybrid Studio was the most interesting. It incorporated a Gigasampler, lots of MOTU software and hardware. My dream system!
On a related tech note, MacAddict magazine has a great little article about using Protools for sound scoring and special effects. Mainly focused around Star Wars Episode 2. Still a good read though.
