When computers first got used for making music, it was mostly MIDI sequencers on Atari and Amiga systems. When the Macintosh came out, there was a deal with Kurtzweil to help push them as the new music platform (if you look at an old K250, the slant on the back fits perfectly with the slant on the bottem of the old macs). Studios started using macs because the graphical interface was easier to use. IBM compatible systems were mostly used for buisness, and nobody made music software for them until the late 80s. When Pro Tools came out and introduced multi-track digital audio recording, it was designed for a mac, because that's what the target market had. But it wasn't actually the mac doing the work, it was the Pro Tools hardware. Now you can use Pro Tools with a mac or with Windows 98 or NT4. When Windows 95 came out, it had better integrated multimedia support, and it finally made the PC platform capable of doing high end digital audio multitracking. Currently Windows and BeOS are the only OSs to have the multimedia support as part of the operating system. With a mac, you need 3rd party software (ASIO, OMS, etc), and as stable as Linux is, the multimedia support is really lacking. BeOS looks like the best OS for music so far, but there's no real software for it yet, so it won't do any good to use it yet. Last February at winter NAMM, representatives from Microsoft met with all of the Windows music software developers and came up with the plans for DirectX 8.0 which should be out this fall, and also the new WDM standard which will allow music software and soundcard drivers to bypass the OS all together and make latency almost non existant (lower than some rackmount digital processors). If you're planning on putting together a computer music system, I'd suggest waiting until late fall. kevin ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 16:32:12 +0200 From: welihozkiy To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: COmputer discussions...

Maybe progressive as composers but not as actual music players. Their music lacks the technicallity that charectirizes most current prog bands.Unless this was never an actual element of the spoken genre in the first place. Could one say that Tool is pop?Radiohead is considered to be pop and they're both similarly unlike to anything other i've heard in the last decade (very subjective here). >> Keep in mind that the first band ever labeled "prog" was King Crimson in 1969. OK, everybody touts KC like they're some kind of technical miracle, but, aside from the fact that Fripp's playing is indeed totally imacculate (While at the same time emotive), I don't think the KC stuff from the 70s really shows any great technics most of the time... A lot of it, like Tool, is about creating a soundscape, sort of a mood orchestrated by instruments to draw in the listener. Consider the improv "The Fright Watch" from the live CD "Night Watch." This song is not at all technically difficult (OK, so there's a shredding bass solo at the end, but even that's not too hard), and doesn't even make much compositional sense, but the whole song is an incredibly powerful mood. Keep in mind also that Fripp hated the 'prog' tag because it started being applied to Yes, ELP, etc., who he thought were just arrogant, pompous idiots. I think prog has a lot more to do with creating something that hasn't been done before-A la Mr. Bungle-And making it into a successful and commercially viable artwork (Remember that KC was a pretty popular band in its heyday). Thus, under these circumstances, we could call Tool prog. But you're right, if you judge based on technicality, they are not. More importantly, could you call A Perfect Circle prog? I certainly see a lot of elements of prog in there, like constantly changing riffs... And Paz has great ass...

Message-ID: Well, I do have e'ry right to state my opinion, as opposed to just reading e'ryone else's. ;) James LaBrie is an asshole; a jerknuts. Aside personality, he fits in. Too bad. OPINION, mind you. I believe that Derek sounded a considerable amount better than Jordan. Given, Jordan is dripping with talent, and skill. Sure, he's impressive, but he's old. Fifteen years older than the rest of the band? Derek had a ways to go before catching up with Jordan, sure. But honestly, Derek has so much more soul and spirit in his playing. I think he brought the band a little bit more 'life'. ::clutching "ACoS" to his chest tightly:: Twenty three minutes...and hey--Lines in the Sand...c'mon, give me some credit. =) Then you've got the famed debate of who deserves the 'prog' prefix and who doesn't. I'd say that Soundgarden and Tool are progressive in many manners--Tool does have some complexity to their music, and damned if Soundgarden doesn't--but it's their stance on pop culture that defines them. I'll bet if it weren't for EastWest Dream Theater would be against getting airplay. =) Let it sink. ;) ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 10:31:41 -0500 (CDT) From: Brian D Hayden To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: Re: Computers: Mac vs. PC Message-ID: On Fri, 21 Jul 2000, Christopher Ptacek wrote: > They are more fool proof but less stable (for recording, in my experience) > and infinitely less secure (they make Win95 look GOOD).

However, they might be hard to find. If so, check out "At the End of the Day" or their last and final album "Let It Go" which is also very good. "The Horse That Bud Bought" is okay, in my opinion. A good album, but they could've done better. And stay away from "Machine Fish" unless you like straight-forward, unimaginative metal which seems like they made it to appease Metal Blade on their first album with them. >> Galactic Cowboys have some awesome backing vocals going on there.

Prog-metal was a label invented by music shops and magazines to classify a certain style of music. Dream Theater was one of the very first bands to receive this classification. The reason is because when they came out they sounded like a cross between Rush/Yes, progressive-rock bands, and Iron Maiden/Metallica, metal bands. So obviously you put the two together and you get prog-metal. Of course this is not entirely accurate, but seeing as though its an invented word, it can mean whatever the inventors want it to mean. Metal is a fairly specific label, referring to bands that is angry, dark (gothic perhaps), low etc. Progressive-rock also fairly specifically refers to a group of bands that includes Yes/King Crimson/Elp/Rush/Kansas etc. Now whenever you have a band, they are going to have a variety of influences. Genres grow out of other genres. So whilst you could say that Led Zeppelin has many elements found in the progressive-rock and metal genres, that does not mean they fit in the genre. That would be like fitting them into the blues genre, or celtic music genre. So anyways, what I am saying, is that most bands can be put into their appropriate genre easily, but there will always be some crossover. Metallica goes into metal. Yes goes into prog rock. Dream Theater goes into prog metal. Deep Purple goes into hard rock (not metal). > Emerging from lurk mode once again to weigh in on this topic, which is always > fun because it's always so hotly contested.

To me, the roots of prog-metal go way back > to the early and mid-1970s, Tool are a unique band, so it is hard to put them into a genre. Whilst I would probably say they are prog-metal, because the majority of their sound comes from prog bands and metal bands, they don't sit well with other bands in the genre. I think this is because the type of influences they draw from the genres is different (they leave out the flashy guitar wanking and leave in the drugs). BTW. I heard Maynard (the singer) on the radio a few years ago and he played his five favourite songs of all time. I can't remember what they all were, but King Crimson and Led Zeppelin's Kashmir were both in there. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Pink Floyd song as well. > One could say they both have some prog elements.Very few though. > Some songs on BadMotorFinger mostly.But Tool,i can't really say. > Maybe progressive as composers but not as actual music players. > Their music lacks the technicallity that charectirizes most > current prog bands.Unless this was never an actual element of > the spoken genre in the first place. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2000 20:19:26 PDT From: "Partha Mukhopadhyay" To: ytsejam@torchsong.com Subject: three days to a more righteous angle Message-ID: >Korg, funny has hell analogy about the square tires..

Emerging from lurk mode once again to weigh in on this topic, which is always fun because it's always so hotly contested. Now, as much as I love Dream Theater - they ARE my favorite band, without question - there's absolutely no way anyone with a knowledge of rock history could possibly say they "invented" the prog-metal genre. To me, the roots of prog-metal go way back to the early and mid-1970s, and two bands which shared the same gifted guitarist: Deep Purple and Rainbow. It was Ritchie Blackmore's innovative fusion of classical influences with heavy rock that paved the way for prog-metal, at least in terms of the guitar/keyboard duels and extended solos that have come to be such a central part of the genre. Look no further than such classics as "Rainbow Rising," "Long Live Rock 'n' Roll" and especially "Live on Stage" to find many of the main ingredients of prog-metal. I would also credit bands like Jethro Tull and Kansas as pioneers of the genre, blending hard rock crunch with instrumental sophistication on such influential works as "Thick as a Brick" and "Song for America." Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were also way more progressive, IMO, than many give them credit for being. "Achilles' Last Stand" and "Spiral Architect" are but two examples of this. I also believe that one would have to credit Ulrich Roth, Michael Schenker and Randy Rhoads as the fathers of the neo-classical metal guitar style, which has come to play an important role in prog-metal as well. And certainly at least some of the work of King Crimson, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Al DiMeola and the Dixie Dregs demonstrates an understanding of how to blend high volume and energy with instrumental virtuosity, which would help to explain why they have often been cited as major influences by many prog-metal bands.

There's a bunch: "Strictly Commercial", "Cheep Thrills", "Son of Cheep Thrills", and several others. Any of those is a good sampler and should be fairly inexpensive, new or used. ("Joe's Garage" was originally released as separate vinyl albums, hence the 'part' business.) >How about the album "ship arriving too late".I think that >one's with Vai. Vai is on that one (credited with "impossible guitar parts"), but I wouldn't recommend that album as a starting point. To be honest, I wouldn't recommend any of the Vai-era discs to begin with. Look for pretty much any mid-to-late-'70s Zappa albums. Albums released or recorded during said time period are generally the favorites of most fans and should be your best bet non-2-CD-non-best-of bet.
