Welcome to the Home Recording Studio conference.  Topics for discussion
may include anything dealing with setting up or running a personal
recording studio in your home, for example, multi-track recorder reviews,
what kind of tape to use, how to improve accoustics, effects, etc.

	The purpose of this conference is discussion of aspects
	of music creation which are covered (if at all) haphazardly
	in other conferences, particularly writing, arranging, and
	music theory. It is expressly *not* for the discussion
	of musical instruments and other music-related equipment 
	(such as sequencers, amps, PA systems, recorders, etc.) 
	except in terms of how you use them as tools to write or 
	arrange music. Possible areas of discussion:

	o Composition and songwriting (here's how I go about writing
	a song, this is how Paul Simon writes, analysis of well-known
	songwriters, how to write for video?...)

	o Arranging (how to arrange for horn or string sections?)

	o Music theory (what's the name of this chord? What are
	the modes?)

	o Legal issues (such as copyrights)

	Equipment ads are not allowed and will be deleted and returned
	to the author.

This reply is not about the fact that KP7 doesn't work (the note is not tagged
with a conference), but about the fact that I can't open the conference.  I do:

Notes> ADD ENTRY VORTEX::BASLIN::MUSIC_MAKING

Notes> OPEN MUSIC_MAKING
Error opening VORTEX::BASLIN::NOTES$LIBRARY:MUSIC_MAKING.NOTE; as input
Invalid device name

Is the fact that I'm running an old version of notes (V01.1) the cause of this
error?

thanks,

    	Since the conference is currently set NOWRITE I'd say it's not
    	quite openb yet...
    
    	Otherwise I would have entered my question...
    
	I don't know if this was your intention or if I'm more confused than
	I first thought...

	System BASLIN appears to be in a hidden area or a hidden node that is
	accessible from VORTEX.  The only way I was able to access the 
	conference was...

	  $ define/process test VORTEX::BASLIN::
	  $ !
	  $ ! enter VAXnotes
	  $ !
	  NOTES> DIR/CONF TEST

	  I then found that MUSIC_MAKING.NOTE was in -
	  DISK$BASLIN_DKB2:[RYAN.NOTES$LIBRARY]

		Lastly I was able to

	NOTES/NONOT TEST::DISK$BASLIN_DKB2:[RYAN.NOTES$LIBRARY]MUSIC_MAKING

		to get here.  

	Interested & Confused,

	- Jim
	
		

    You need a newer version of VAX Notes to access conferences in hidden
    areas.  The conference is open and doing fine.
    
    tom_p

	In that case, if you don't have the version of notes that allows
	access to hidden nodes then this should allows access to it.

	 define/process baslin_hidden vortex::baslin::
	 define/process music_making -
	  baslin_hidden::disk$baslin_dkb3:[ryan.notes$library]music_making

	If you then say NOTES/NONOTE MUSIC_MAKING you'll get it.

	It's probably easier/wiser to get the new version of notes updated
	if you can.

    	I didn't bother playing around with ADD ENTRY...

Colorado Springs took a major power hit over the weekend, and it knocked out
KDX200 (along with most of the other systems out there, I guess). Coops says
he has a call in to Field Service, but he's a lower priority than some of
the other systems out there.

    There is a new employee interest conference for those that play, own,
    repair (for fun), listen to, or just enjoy pipe organs.
    
    It's located at ATSE::PIPE_ORGANS.  Membership is unrestricted.
    
    Basically, any topic related to pipe organs can be discussed here.
    Discussion of electronic organs are also welcome, as long as the
    organs in question are full-sized instruments used for the serious
    performance of classical or theatre organ.
    
    The moderator is Vernon Miller, who can be found most readily by
    sending Mail to OPAMP::VMILLER
    
    

    Does anyone have any pointers to news groups on the internet that
    discuss the music business? Any pointer appreciated.

    Where can I find an archive of a MUSIC conference for entries in the
    May-June 1986 timeframe?
    \Gary

    Gary,
    
    The only archived version of MUSIC that is online (and the only version
    I have) starts somewhere in Mar/Apr 1988. The file spec for this
    version of the conference is TIMBRE::MUSIC_V3. The conference is set to
    read-only.

    I remember there being a conference called something like
    EASYNET-CONFERENCES, that listed all of the DEC notes files and where
    they were located.  I forget, however, where this conference
    EASYNET_CONFERENCES itself is located.
    
    Anyone know? 
    Thanks in advance.
    

	easynotes.lis has it listed as TURRIS::EASYNET_CONFERENCES

    I am having trouble accessing the MUSIC_V3 (Archived) notes file
    listed as TIMBRE::MUSIC_V3, the error message I get is:

    How can I get access?

    FWIW, the MUSIC_MAKING conference (referenced in .3 and other notes)
    has moved to GOES11::MUSIC_MAKING.
    
    Please send me mail if you have any trouble getting to it, as I don't
    read this conference on a regular basis.

    GUITAR noters:
    
    I am posting this with the candid encouragement of Dave Hickernell.
    Please be gentle or I might ask him to beat you up ;-)
    
    I am just coming from the GUITAR conference. Dave told me that there
    was something going on in there about Alan, so I checked it out. 

    You guys are a riot. Ruthless riot ;-) You guys know no mercy.

    First of all, are there any females in there or is this just a boys
    thing? When I was perusing through notes, I felt as if I was peeking 
    into the men's locker room. I thought you'd be very uncomfortable
    if you knew a woman was present, I mean, you'd have to watch the
    language and all that ;-) 
    I didn't want to shock you guys by entering this note there.

    The first thing the word "guitar" would remind me is classical guitar
    such as Rodrigo or Albeniz. How come there are no such discussions?

    Now, I have a question about strings, is it safe to ask it in GUITAR?
    Or would you chauvinists ;-) prefer girls stayed out of your domain?

    You can be brutally honest with me.

    Lale

    re .23, it really doesn't matter what they "prefer", Lale.  If women
    want to write in the conference, they have to let them, otherwise it
    would be discrimination.  So, what node is it on?  :-)

Well I'm safe, I'm hundreds of miles away in Baltimore. :-)

Actually, it can be embarrassing on several levels...those of use with
*good* taste are often embarrassed my the metal-heads. :-)  Oh, oh,
I'm in trouble now...

Seriously, though, I know what you mean.  It's mostly (but not all)
males in GUITAR, and it does often get, let's see, how to word it,
tasteless perhaps.

>    The first thing the word "guitar" would remind me is classical guitar
>    such as Rodrigo or Albeniz. How come there are no such discussions?

Occasional discussion of classical guitar takes place, but the conference
tends to be dominated by rock people (see my mostly tongue-in-cheek comment
above).

>    Now, I have a question about strings, is it safe to ask it in GUITAR?
>    Or would you chauvinists ;-) prefer girls stayed out of your domain?

If you mean classical guitar strings, GUITAR would be as good a place as
any to ask.  There's several classical guitar types that have shown their
faces in there in the past.

>    You can be brutally honest with me.

Geez, Lale, if people can't behave, there's no reason for you too feel
bad if they're embarrassed by their own actions!  Seriously, though
(did I say that twice in the same note?), while some tasteless stuff
goes on in GUITAR, it's pretty much always just meant in fun.  In fact,
believe it or not, most of the discussion is really about guitars and
music!

Hear, hear, Lorna!  It's on KDX200::GUITAR.
    
-Hal

    Lale,

    For better or for worse, guitarnotes is predominantly a rock and roll
    players notefile which often is little more than a discussion of
    gadgetry rather than music -- not that there's anything wrong with that.
    I guess females are just not as common among electric guitar players. I
    for one sincerely welcome anyone with something to say. And furthermore,
    women are always welcome where I come from.

    --Ron (just not a "men's club" type)

>    I am posting this with the candid encouragement of Dave Hickernell.

    That's true, but I assumed you'd post it to Guitar.  Why dontcha?
    Guitar overlaps a lot with Music, but not 100% either way.
    
>>    Please be gentle or I might ask him to beat you up ;-)
    
>Well I'm safe, I'm hundreds of miles away in Baltimore. :-)

    Trust me, Hal - you're safe anyway, unless I stumble into you
    accidentally.  Or unless you happen to hear me play.  %^)
    
    Lately the only female Guitar noter has been Justine Sullivan, who posts 
    too infrequently, and lately not at all.  You don't even have to play or
    own a guitar to participate in the ribbing that goes on in Guitar.  So,
    I expect to hear from both Lale and Lorna in KDX200::GUITAR shortly.  I
    know you were both at the recent DECjam, so you're entitled to critique
    our playing, as well as our on-stage antics and general appearances.  I
    know you both can dish it out as well as take it, and frankly, as I
    told Lale, Guitar can use the, uh, "testosterone dilution".  Come on
    over, and bring your girlfriends!
    
    But be forewarned - we'll drag you down to our level (tee hee).  %^)
    
    Dave

    
    >as I told Lale, Guitar can use the, uh, "testosterone dilution".  
    
    I was going to quote you on that, Dave.
    
    >Come on over, and bring your girlfriends!
    
    From what I have read, it is ok to bring in girlfriends but it is not
    very safe to bring in daughters.
    
    >But be forewarned - we'll drag you down to our level (tee hee).  %^)
    
    I doubt it. Well, it will be a challenge at least ;-)
    
    Lale

    
    
>    From what I have read, it is ok to bring in girlfriends but it is not
>    very safe to bring in daughters.
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    It's still safe for the 7 & 8 year olds...  unless they've got big
    
    
    
    
    
    
    allowances; guitar players will mooch off of anyone...
    
    
    

   >> Now, I have a question about strings, is it safe to ask it in GUITAR?
    
    Lale, let me have a go at this:
    I have a problem with G strings. They tend to bust when they're
    too tight. Any others with similar experiences? ;^)
    
    But seriously, though, there's a lot of useful stuff to pick up
    in the GUITAR notes file. And in the same way that _this_ conference
    makes you buy boxed sets you can't afford, the GUITAR notes file
    encourages you to buy all sorts of equipment you may not really need.
    Or makes you feel miserable with the guitars and amps you've got.
    
    In fact, the only notes conference that does _not_ make you
    buy more of something, is probably MOIRA::NATURISM. ;^)

    Oh, that's why it didn't sound original. But, no, it couldn't have been
    mine. I am not that creative.
    
    You never know when a good quote will pop up.

    Lale,
    
    
    please, feel free to enter the GUITAR conference, maybe Alan Starr will
    leave my daughter alone if there are more participants of the female

Two more faces I can't put with the names, how'd I miss meeting you folks at

    Droid, I hate to tell you this, but Lorna and Lale were sitting at the
    table right next to yours at the DECjam!  I'm sure you saw them -
    they're both attractive - you just didn't know who they were.  Lorna
    was sitting a little behind your wife, and Lale was with the guy with 
    the pony tail.  Hee hee - if you weren't so busy stepping on feet... %^)

    but not what they looked like.  :-)

Any folks in here that read the COMMUSIC conference might want to know
that it has moved to KDX200::.  A pointer was left in the old location,
but it's date is such that it won't show up in your unseen map.

Anybody know what's happened to the ELESYS::AUDIO conference?

For the past two weeks I've been getting "Remote node is not currently
reachable"

    
    	Try 30036::AUDIO
    
    	I haven't had a problem getting in, so the issue is with your
    	system and not ELESYS::.

The node database on HYLNDR is out of date.  ELESYS is 29.340.  Get your 
system manager to update the node database, and in the mean time you can
use 30036::AUDIO as .48 suggests.

Thanks for the quick responses, folks!

Just tried 30036 and it worked like a charm.

I don't know why you couldn't get into it then, but the new address
has been working since yesterday afternoon.  Worked fine for me a few
seconds ago.

    I still can't get into Guitar note.  I get a remote node unreachable

KDX200's address has changed to 28.166.  You need to have your DECnet database
updated to reflect this.  In the meantime, you could use 28838::GUITAR
(28*1024 + 166).
