Yay!
Hopefully people are enjoying the music. -
Though, the term "devaluing" may be a bit strong. It's almost akin to saying that recording and mass distributing music devalued it back in the day. But did it? It changed consumption habits, to be sure. I'd think there were a bunch of curmudgeons sitting around back then saying, "these goddamn kids and their fancy phonographs don't appreciate the value of hearing a live performance!"
Well, there is some truth in that these days.
I do think music is devalued due in part to the ease of access and also to the fact that it is ubiquitous. Everywhere you go, all the time, there is music constantly. Ubiquity breeds complacency?
-
Has anyone written about the downside of having access to anything we want instantaneously and for (relatively) free? It seems to me that it is a double-edged sword which may be contributing to the devaluing of music and art in general.

I'd be happy covering this quarter. I owe them about three months worth right now. It's $1800 a year for the server.

Ok, it's not really fun but it is necessary. You folks know the drill. Paypal to b3groover at hot mail dot com. Checks please PM me for the address (or you can find it on the Big O Store contact page).
Thanks, folks!

Here's another one:

I need to update my personal calendar (on www.jimalfredson.com) and the organissimo calendar. Just another thing on the list of stuff to do! I will be in northern California in January doing the jazz trio thing (not with organissimo) and also at NAMM. But otherwise all the upcoming gigs are in Michigan.
I am not playing with Janiva in December. -
Testing out my new GoPro wannabe cameras (SJ4000 from SJCAM). Audio is from the cameras so it's not all that, but pretty neat anyway.

They are pre-shrunk so you should be fine if you follow the instructions on the tag for washing.

This link should answer that question.

I just moved the thread to the Forums Discussion forum. Did that help?
EDIT: I also added direct links just in case. -
Yes, it's finally happening.
After 14 years together as a band and 11 years of this forum, I'm finally making organissimo t-shirts for the first time ever.
The price is $20 each plus $3 shipping to the continental US. Folks outside the US add $8 for shipping, please.Pick your color. Black or Slate.
This is a high-quality polyblend t-shirt that runs on the small side. I ordered these same shirts for my THEO project and they are really high quality and feel great. We can do women's as well, black or dark blue (the design works best on darker fabrics).
If you would like one, Paypal me at b3groover@hotmail.com and state your gender and size in the message, please. If you can send as a gift, that would be swell because then Paypal doesn't take the fees.
Or if you don't use Paypal, PM me here and I'll send you my address for a check. You can also go through the Big O Store: http://www.big-o-records.com/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2
I'd like to place the order by the end of next week so we can have them in time for Christmas.
Here's a link that illustrates the sizes: https://www.customink.com/items/sizing/15000_lineup/standard.htm -
Welcome to the AAJ refugees.
The way to help maintain a vibrant community is to attract new members and to utilize social media to help drive traffic over here. So don't forget to use the social media buttons that are at the bottom of every thread to share threads you deem worthwhile on your own social media pages. Encourage folks over there to join the discussion here.

Nice to see the mention of Haken, Riverside and Big Big Train.
Thanks to you!

I love the Mellotron but I do think it is over-used. I use it on THEO but only on two songs and it's layered in with other sounds so as not to be obvious.
Speaking of, only a few days left to order via PledgeMusic before the campaign closes. I've got lots of t-shirts, keychains, and other merch left.

Here is a nice interview I did with Prog Sphere: http://www.prog-sphere.com/interviews/jim-alfredson-interview/

We made it! With time to spare! There's stil time to get on board. I'm working on the 5.1 mixes right now and it is sounding incredible.

I'll try to help as much as I can.
I loaded on Music Player a bunch of MP3 songs, most of them hears awfull. WAV ones sounds great, but they need a lot more of memory capacity instead.
Make sure your mp3s are 128kbps a no more, no less. For some reason the player prefers that bitrate and doesn't like others.
Is it possible to add exp.pedal volume settings individually for USER sounds.
It is possible to preset where the sounds start in terms of their volume but as soon as you move the expression pedal, they will change. Thankfully Hammond added an overall volume parameter for the organ voices in a later update. Make sure you have the latest OS.
