Hey Rooster, I just noticed yesterday that Nero 6 has a wave editor built in. I played around with it a bit and it does the job pretty well. Here are a couple download links. ftp://ftp4.nero.com/Nero6300.exe ftp://ftp5.nero.com/Nero6300.exe

Thanks so much! Sounds wonderful. You should stick an ID3 tag in the file with artist info and the URL to your site in the comment field. When it inevitably gets passed around, you could sell some records and get some new users here!

Alright Selim! Glad to see you made it! It it so nice to see all the kind words for new members. Y'all are great.

1) Chicago 2) Lansing 3) St. Louis

I like Steinbergs WaveLab. http://www.steinberg.net/en/products/audio...index.php?sid=0 It's more geared toward what you wanna do. Mastering and such.

You're running ME, right? You could try ProTools Free. http://www.digidesign.com/products/prd_ove...product_id=1202

Wow! I can't believe it took that long to get there. I sent it out last Saturday?!!? Must have been slowed down by the high volume this time of year. Maybe i'll try a different post office next time. Anyone else just get their discs? Anyone not receive them at all?!

If possible and if it wouldn't be inconvenient, consider stopping by in Toledo, Jim D. If we have enough time, I could take you to either Ann Arbor for cds or Detroit for books. Let me know, Paul I'd love to, but I'm afraid I won't have the time to make it to Toledo this year. We're hardly going to have time to visit our families this year as it is. Hopefully, we'll be moving closer to home in 2004 when my job ends. Maybe next summer we can hook up and finally do some book and record shopping.

Excellent Rooster! Thank you! FYI the Cellar Door sets have been circulating on the Usenet. B)

Yes there is. http://www.flylansing.com/home/

My wife and I are having our second child late March / early April 2004. Don't forget B3-er and his wife are pregnant as well. I'm not sure when they are due, but that may be a factor in the planning. Late summer / early Fall is a beautiful time in Michgan.

I'll agree with BeBop and Chrome and give a 3rd shout out for "Trouble In Mind" with Horace Parlan on Steeplechase.

Hey Matt, Since you scored the missing disc for my Miles Plugged Nickel set, the least I could do is send you a copy of the BF test! Let me know!

Yeah, I didn't know either until sometime in the early 90s. Burt came to town to see the house he lived in. It was all over the local news that day. I guess he moved away when he was 4 if I remember correctly. I think the house is around Mt. Hope and Cedar. Not far from Walter French. I am a Sexton grad. Class of 85. I didn't know that Malcolm X went to Mason high! His home was near MLK Blvd. (South Logan) not far from Everett HS now.

There isn't a whole lot to do in Lansing, tourist wise, but there are some interesting historical tidbits. Malcolm X lived in Lansing. Magic Johnson and Burt Reynolds were born there.. Much of the business history is tied to Oldsmobile. Wanna tour an auto factory? I'm making a case for St. Louis, aren't I? Well, we can arrange a tour at the Bug House! http://www.ent.msu.edu/bughouse/docs/about.html -_-

By 'Dreck Chaff, would you mean something like this: http://web.archive.org/web/20020618173831/...ic&f=2&t=002058

I can appreciate Mike trying to drum up some activity by doing this, but it kind of bothers me. I don't know how I feel about some of my posts being used to help support another site. We probably don't have any ground to stand on since the posts are the property of Blue Note and from a legal point of view, they can probably do whatever they want. It's their property now. Now I know how John Fogerty Feels! You know, over at Jazz Corner, Lois went though a lot of cost and trouble archiving all of their old posts. After everything was said and done, hardly anyone uses or mentions it. A BBS is really about what is happening now. Archives are fun for reminiscing, but a living board is where it's at. Not a dead one.

Here goes. Can't wait to finally read this thread. Disc One Track 1. Lovely Piano introduction. The composition has some monkish qualities to it, but it's not a monk tune. From the sound of the recording, i'd place it in the early 70s, but that just may be the vinyl talking to me. The Tenor sounds familiar to me, but I can't put a finger on it. He sounds like a dash of Billy Harper, a little bit of Book, probably a Texas guy. Really digging this track, Jim. Hmmm. some of the comping sounds like Horace. Nice Trumpet solo, too. The Trumpeter gets a lot of ideas in there without being overly aggressive. Piano solo: Really sounding like Horace Silver. Haven't heard much of Silvers' '70s work, but I'm guessing that this is his group. Track 2. Fun track. Not a clue, here.At a total loss for guesses, but i liked it! Great groove. Track 3. Outstanding intro and head. Very cool. Interesting Alto solo. I was reminded of Wayne a few times. Not sure who it is, though.Are there 4 horns here? I'd buy this record. Was the fade on the record, or did you do it? Track 4. This track has the same feel as a tune on Ellington's Far East Suite. Don't remember the name right now. Has a similar rock rhythm to it. Hmmm. Bari solo first. Not Mulligan. Oohh. Electric Guitar solo!?! Couldn't tell you any of the soloists upon first listen. This was alright. Not something I'd buy, but kind of fun. Track 5. Another big group. Ahhhh. JB! Definitely some of his lesser known work. I know he recorded a bit of this type of thing. I dig it! Probably Track 6. Nice transition. Beautiful Voice. I need to brush up on my vocalists. She sounds familiar. Beautiful song. Track 7. I like this Tenor's tone. Dave Burrell on piano? Ah! Monk tune! One of his later comps. Little Rootie Tootie? Maybe, maybe not, but I do know the tune. Cool. Track 8. Loving all the Sax players, Jim. Nice Organ trio. Can't pick out the players, but i like it! Ah. There is a bass player! Nice Quartet, then. Track 9. Oh Lord! Hickey-Burrr. Heh heh. Not a clue, but most interesting. Hah! Track 10. I'll bet this is from those Baby Dodds sides y'all been raving about. Aw yeah! Track 11. I don't know. Some WW1 tune? No mans land, eh? Kind of giving me the chills. Wow. Track 12. I can see the connection between this and the last track. Both have military elements. Now we're getting outside! Don't think its AEC, but some elements remind me of them. I think both track 11 and 12 try to capture warfare. Straight ending. That was cool. Track 13. Back to some swinging. First tenor sounds like an older guy. Got some Don Byas in him, maybe? econd tenor a little more modern. Is this a JATP thing? Nice. Track 14. Mellow. Very airy sound on the Tenor. So many saxes! Dry like Desmond. I'll be curious to find out who this is. very cool. Track 15. Now those are some jumpin vibes! Terry Gibbs? Fun stuff. Disc Two Track 1. Is that a Varitone? Whatever it is, there is some funky phasing effect on the sax. Nice electric piano. I don't think this is Eddie Harris, but I know he did use the Varitone. Is that Jack on the drums? I really like this. Track 2. That's gotta be Kahil on drums. Could this be that Ethnic Heritage Ensemble record with Shepp? I really dig anything with Kahil on it. 10 stars. Track 3. Marvin. Never be another like him. Maybe his heaviest record. So sad. So powerful. Breaks your heart. Track 4. Not sure. I'm trying to thing of a bassist who would record something like this. Sounds like a pop tune cover. It's aaight. Digging the groove more as the tune goes on. Track 5. Dixieland-ish. A bit more modern. I'm enjoying it, but it's an area of Jazz that I don't know much about. Track 6. Quite an arrangement! Not really sure, but I like it. Really like the Sax solo. Track 7. Is this Braxton? I don't quite connect with it, but I know it's rewards are worth the work. I just haven't made it there yet. I need to listen to more of this kind of thing. Gonna spin this one again when I'm done. Track 8. I don't know this, but I should. Very swinging. Gonna take a wild guess. Ben Webster? Probably not. Track 9. I'm starting to have a hard time sorting out all the sax players in my head! Must be getting tired. Not a clue. Track 10. I should know this, but I don't. Wow. I'm floored. This is GREAT. Track 11. Awww yeah. Henry. I caught this group live and they were just amazing. Nice way to close the test. This has been my favorite BF to date! Thanks so much Jim. I wasn't pissed off by any of the choices, so you're gonna just have to work harder next time.

Or one of James Browns lesser know titles: The Minister of the New Super Heavy Funk Maybe you should save that for 5000!

Grease ball!

....and a nice little catch by Marvin Yeah...that was BEAUTIFUL. Gotta love Marvin.

Fumble! Fumble! Fumble! Fumble! 4 damn fumbles, 3 on freakin' special teams. Jeez! McNair was looking good, but the offense wasn't on the field enough. Gonna be a struggle to get the wild card now. We're playing Buffalo next, who looked darn good this week vs. the Jets. Big time props to the Pats. Did you see all the snowballs being fired from the crowd?

I logged into this forum for the first time today using FreeBSD! It's quite a job getting X servers and ppp configured. Especially with a dial-up modem. If I get the hang of this Unix thing, I can dump Microsoft for good ('cept at work)! Plus it'll really help me once I get a Mac again. Whoohoo!

That's funny, Paul. I have the NFL Sunday Ticket on Direct TV. My wife is from Cleveland and I am from Michigan so we try to catch all the Lions and Browns games we can when the Titans aren't playing.
