Okay, so Jeff Russo and I jammed a bit last night. I showed him my laptop set-up with Sonar and the MobilePre USB sound card. Jeff just received a Roland E-600 electric keyboard. We fooled around a bit showing what our respective wares' potential is (mine for recording, Jeff's for live performances) and decided to try to tackle a song a week. Since we found some cool drum loops for one of my songs (Feel Like A...), we're going to work on that for next week. My homework is to lay the drum loops, rhythm guitar and bass, then Jeff can add a lead and vocals next week. I hope to be posting a link to that song in the near future...
My other homework is to try and figure out if I can save the digital audio to MIDI format for uploading into the Roland for live performances (to have drums/bass/piano back-up). I'm also going to look for a MIDI to USB cable for hooking up the Roland to the laptop for recording and/or transferring purposes. M-Audio makes the Uno, which is probably the way I'll go...
A plug for my buddy Jeff btw... He owns a business (The Edge Fitness Business Consulting) and you can see and read about him and his company at that link.
FYI, no reply from robins9944... would've liked to attend that Feist concert...
