266.0. "Unpub. KEYBOARD Articles" by CANYON::MOELLER () Mon Mar 10 1986 19:48

    I have written two articles which have been accepted for publication
    by KEYBOARD magazine, but have not yet been printed. I'd like to
    know if there is any interest in this notesfile on seeing these
    prior to publication. 
    
    The first, 'Low-Tech Home Stereo Productions', details methods of
    getting massive, pro-sounding mixdowns out of a budget home studio.
    
    The second, 'Produce Your own Album on Cassette', assumes the musician
    has an hour's worth of releasable material. It covers, step-by-step,
    how to issue a truely professional sounding and -appearing cassette
    album.
    
    Is there any interest out there ? Are you guys with 8-tracks as
    hot as can be ? If there is any interest, I'll type the articles
    in here. If not, fine. That's a lot of typing. Please let me know
    if these articles sound interesting.

266.2Keyboard's rights?XENON::SAUTERJohn SauterMon Mar 10 1986 20:184
    I am interested in both topics, but if you have already sent
    them to Keyboard magazine it might be contrary to your agreement
    with them to publish them elsewhere.

    I offered Karl [Moeller] the same warning.  But that brings up an
    interesting question; does typing an article to a NOTES file constitute
    publishing?  Or, worse, giving it over to public domain?
    
    Any legal people out there who have had to deal with this issue?

    Last night I reread the contract(s) with KEYBOARD. It seems I can
    do everything BUT SELL the SAME (word-for-word) articles to another
    publication. This is not a publication in the legal sense, and I
    certainly won't get anything for it but glory -:)
    
    So, I dunno. Some of you guys have some pretty hot setups. Got
    anything to learn from a 4-tracker ?  Karl Moeller

    Can't tell if you've got anything to teach us 'til you try.  Do
    it!

266.6Sounds more like "Rescue Me"BARTOK::ARNOLDJohn E. ArnoldTue Mar 11 1986 19:569
    I second (or is it third?) the motion.  Since I've gotten my 8-track,
I'm sure I've gotten lazy and missed quite a few tricks along the way. 
(Of course, I'll get motivated again once I realize that I "need just a
few more tracks".  That should be any day now.) 

    I'd be glad to read just about anything that could help improve the
quality of my home recordings.

266.7Do it!MRMFG1::D_FOSTERWed Mar 12 1986 18:022
    I'd be very pleased to read what you have to say about low-tech
    home productions!  Thanks for offering a pre-release on this stuff.
266.8Dancin' With MyselfCANYON::MOELLERWed Mar 12 1986 19:4310
    
    	Okay, you've convinced me. I've begun entering them under
    EDT. Some new material up front, mainly pictures (ever tried
    PICTURES on a VT102?) so the legal number is no problem.
    
    it may take me as long as a week to enter the first one, as
    there's this pesky job I hired in for.

Re: "pesky job"

    Maybe a bunch of us should get together and develop a musician's
    workstation for the VAXstation II.  Bullet items follow:
    
    o	generic waveform editor (GWE), allowing mouse/keypad editing of
    	waveforms and layers  (sort of like PRO Sight)

    o	conversion procedures for each different synth type, allowing
    	"patches" produced by GWE to be loaded to various types of synths
    	(no requirement that they sound *exactly* the same)
    
    o	monster sequencer, with infinitum note capacity
    
    o	built-in sampling (the likes of which would make the Synclav
    	look meek in comparison)
    
    o	more conversion s/w, allowing (for example) a Mirage sample
    	to be loaded into a Emu II & vice versa
    
    o	yet MORE conversion s/w allowing a sample to be converted to
    	a conventional patch and loaded into the synth of your choice
    
    o	and, of course, a complete librarian program which would work
    	with any (term used loosely) type synth

    o	on-line mega-channel mixer and digital studio
    
    o	ad nauseum
    
    
    Think we could get a project started?  (Sorry for the digression - it
    just seemed apropo ... 8^)

    Much dreaming and many words ...

  Much relief and appreciation (all the way from Swizerland) that
  you're making your articles available. 
  
  KEYBOARD, unfortunately, is not available in Switzerland, and 
  as I'm not mainly a keyboard player my interest depends on the
  articles of a given month.

  (I had to have my mom run around London hunting for the much reputed
  January issue - The MIDI special).

  Anyway, I look forward to your articles. Thank you for sharing !
