    Hi,

    Heck ... they keep bringing rock'n'roll back all the time ... so why not disco?

    I happen to think that some disco was actually better than a lot of rock'n'roll ... that was just as badly written with worse looking singers and players, and even worst lyrics!

    Heck ... Saturday Night Live can't be that bad ... Bapu is hiding his outfit, when he was out there juking with the best of us, so they/we could pick up the girls ... dude ... you can't say no to your girlfriend when she wanted to go disco!

    But seeing it today? ... I wonder if we looked a bit too ridiculous in those outfits and the women in the short skirts ... and all that ... we might not like the lounge lizard act at 65! What we gonna call it ... AARP'rs?

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    I quite liked being in a disco in the early '80's..there were lots of girls in there..also remember hearing Level 42's 'Hot Water' for the first time, cranked to the max..wow.

    Hi,

    I wanted to change the fad thing ... I think we're ready for an Albinoni revival, and I would love to hear Adagio in G done with an electric guitar instead of a violin. All you need to do is use different effects (more preferably) on the repetitions, and you will have a massive blow out in the end ... but the CHB is not interested ... they've done Mozart, Beethoven and LIzst, Wagner or Lecombe in movies and such ... but no Albinoni! ...

    Unffortunately it is not Adagio in Am ... it's Adagio in G ... or the closest thing to it would be Terje Rypdal in Adagietto!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!

    Just my opinion Pedro, but Adagio in G is a beautiful, delicate tune, which would be ruined on an electric guitar. Unless Mark Knopfler did it.

    If I were faced with a choice between another decade of Disco and the Zombie Apocolypse, I'd go with the Zombies every time.  Sorry.  I'd probably start with eating my own ears to avoid the trauma.  We know from watching Dr. Who that Van Gogh saw the future and painted it.  I can only assume that he saw Saturday Night Fever and thought he'd better get started on the first ear.  I think he had the right idea.

    I'll have mine deep fried, with becan.

    I thought Alembics were disco basses.  

    BTW, I played disco for a while.  (and I used a Rick - so there.)

    Actually disco wasn't too bad if you were the bassist.

    Exactly,
     
    Chic - le Freak that Zonno linked to is a fantastic example too.
     
    Too many schlocky rockers, and chit kickers here...
     
    They are quaint though.
     
    Level 42...lol, I've mistakenly thought for all these years they were a jazz/funk fusion band, now I learn they were indeed a Disco band.

    You start accoustic, and with each "turn" you add an effect, so by the end it is fuzzed out and far out ...

    Well why not give it a go yourself if you have the vision? I imagine there are plenty of MIDI files of the piece available.

    I wish I was more comfortable with DAW's and knew better what I was doing ... or not doing.
     
    But getting help? ... yeah ... most of those folks only know DJ'ing ... not using a DAW! ... much less teaching a child! And I've tried to ask -- and would pay for it -- even to some folks here ... and I have not even got the courtesy of an email reply saying that ... sorry ... a bit busy and scattered right now, or too strung out on drugs, or found a new girl ... whatever!
     
    I've pretty much given up the music thing ... for now ... it's just too frustrating ... I'm probably going to put the midi board back in the box, the Casio back in the box and give it to the first kid that shows music love ... and that's that.
     
    The bass? Probably going to bust it on the street by pulling a Pete Townsend!

    Pedro,

    Lesson 1. The DAW is basically just a digital multi-track tape recorder.
    Lesson 2. The DAW software needs a decent audio and MIDI interface.
    Lesson 3. MIDI is a digital "piano roll" that drives a particular "module" (i.e. VSTi) to achieve a particular sound.
    Lesson 4. If you have specific problems, post them specifically in the appropriate specific product forum.
    Lesson 5. Use the terms of the DAW, not terms you think should apply to the technique you wish to accomplish.
    Lesson 6. Watch a chitload of YouTube videos for your specific DAW.
    Lesson 6a. I'd say RTFM but you've already done that.

    Aside from that, I'm a bit too busy and scattered right now to give you any more lessons.

    HTH
