Haha - check out my AcidPlanet stats!

I'm a newbie over at http://www.AcidPlanet.com , the Sony-sponsored site for users of its Acid software. Anyhow, here I am, #2365 with a bullet. Actually, for about half a day, I was #1 on the "Other..." genre chart, #109 overall. But fame is fleeting...

Like Hard Rock?

Like Hard Rock?
No, not the Cafe, LOL.

Check out RP Hard at recordingproject.com. Your host Ramen will give you some hard edged original music to listen at, plus some insight and Ramenisms.

It's a one hour show. Weekly schedule for starters:
Monday 5/8 - 9PM (all times are Mountain Time, adjust accordingly)
Tuesday 5/9 - 7AM, 1PM, 9PM
Thursday 5/11 - 7AM, 1PM, 9PM
Friday 5/12 - 8PM
Saturday 5/13 - 8PM

Listen Up!!!! BTW, chances are none of MY music will show up on this show. But RP is trying to add shows. As soon as there's a rocks-about-as-hard-as-Air-Supply-but-really-can't-sing show, I'll be all over that!

Sony Acid 6.0

Acid Pro 6.0 Screen Shot






























It's finally a REAL sequencer! Yay!

I've been using it that way for a couple of years anyhow - love the workflow and interface - but there were just some things it wouldn't do. NOT ANY MORE!

o Multitrack Audio and MIDI Recording
o Multiple Media Files per Track
o Inline MIDI Editing
o MIDI Filtering and Processing
o VSTi Parameter Automation
o Drum Map Editing
o Project Sections
o External Control Surface Support
o Record Input Monitoring

Guitar Center called today to say they're putting my upgrade in the mail. Can't wait.

Top of the Charts

Katrina is still hanging on at RPMedia . It was #1 briefly, but FrederickRM resurrected one of his old tunes, so they've been knocking each other in and out of first place for the past 3 weeks or so.

Mean time, my "Goin' Down to RP" is holding on at #3. It's a song about folks at recordingproject.com , featuring guitar solos from 11 different guitarists. Big fun, mang, big big fun. Go give a listen.

Not Dead Yet

So, I almost died. Subarachnoid brain hemorrhage, Dec. 23rd. Thanks to some talented doctors and the prayers of thousands of parishioners and internet friends, I pulled through.

Boy, my head sure hurts, though. Another couple of weeks for that, they say. I returned to work and to my parish music job last week.

In the words of Fr. Doc, "Please continue to pray for Jay. We have have Lent and Easter coming up, and he better not pull the same trick again." Ha ha.
