Thanks James.
Do you mind if I ask what that is based on? Is it "the talk" you've heard
around, or just people who have submitted tunes and gotten nowhere?

>Kim,
My opinion is a little different, being a TAXI member. Here's some
observations after being involved a little over a year. First off, let
it be understood I haven't gotten a deal off Taxi at present. I have
only submitted for listings that include a critique as sending money off
with no feedback doesn't seem prudent to me. The feedback I've received
on a couple of submissions was helpful but elad me to a couple of
conclusions:
1. Quality of the initial recording will matter
Even if you are trying to sell a song, the feedback I recieved made it
obvious these were not "producers" on the other end, they were buyers
(at least in mentality). They want fairly finished product.
2. Quality of feedback will vary greatly.
A couple of critiques were well thoguht through, Ac ouple of them
obviously quick dismissals...on the sam song for different submissions.
3. Stick to EXACTLY what they are asking for.
If they say ALA Toby Keith, it means just that, lack of pitch control
and all.
4. Don't submit if you don't have time to rework.
This has been my issue. I have not had time to hit the studio and apply
the ideas the critiques have had for improving the song.
Hope this helps,
Jeff

They do say on their site that only 6% of their artists get any kind of deal
in a given year. (They don't include the word "only" ;o). Hence there's a
94% "failure" rate...
....but I figure music has cost me probably $50,000 at least to date to buy
gear, pay interest on loans for gear, etc. The $299 plus $5 to submit songs
seems relatively irrelevant. If I spend $299 plus say $1200 pa submitting
songs, well, I dunno...
....it just seems more likely to get me some returns than spending that same
money on more gear I guess...
Cheers,
Kim.

Thanks for that. The value of the critiques was one thing on my list of queries
in my head.
Generally I believe I'm quite a good emulator of styles, and by the sound
of it they say a bit of "...in the style of..." so if the job is to write
a song like somebody else's, I might be in luck. ;o)
It would also be good to get some feedback from people who listen all day
to which songs "make it" and which songs don't, even if I don't get anything
other than that from it.
Cheers,
Kim.

For what you want, I'd go for it. I believe the initiation fee is still
refundable, you get the Rcording Mag, and the monthly writeups from
Michael (the TAXI dude) area a great read. My guess is the best chance
for a deal is if they refer you to one of the houses trying to increase
their book for TV, etc.

I apologize if you feel I was being hateful. I certainly don't hate you
and did not mean to express any form of hate.
Disagreement isn't hate. From what I can tell so far, I may disagree
with you on a few things but we probably agree on others.
As you said, I don't know you. But we can get to know each other here,
and I would be happy to call you friend.
I didn't refer to you as ignorant. I hope I was clear however that I
thought your last post was a bit condescending (it made you seem like
you think OTHER people here are ignorant, actually).
I don't know much about you partly because you're new here and partly
because you choose to be anonymous. But Deej vouches for you and that
counts for a lot.
Since I don't like to see vague groups of people put down with
generalized sloganeering, you may see me comment as I did with your
post. Feel free to get specific and educate me with facts that support
your positions.
I'll feel free to offer my opinions, such as they are, and the evidence
and thinking behind them. Maybe we can learn from each other.

I'm very sorry to hear of your injuries. Thank you for your service to
our country.

The main issue is this: It would be wrong to assume that anyone who
criticizes our government or foreign policy today is akin to Lenin,
Hitler, Honecker, Husák, Saddam or anyone other despot you may want to list.
For example, I'd be interested in any rationale behind the implication
that anyone here is advocating a move in the USA toward Nazism. It's
grand hyperbole to imply it, and it calls into question the motives of
decent people here.
People can disagree in these United States and that doesn't
automatically make them stupid or Nazis. Hopefully we can all talk about
any disagreements or different perspectives and compare facts, and maybe
find common ground and mutual growth.
Everyone sees things from different perspectives which is actually very
useful for those who want to compare and learn, it's not threatening.
BTW, if you're going to rail against particular social systems, we may
want to get some agreed-on definitions down to start with. We live in a
country that combines elements of several systems, so if you're going to
bash any of them, it'd be useful to be specific about exactly what
you're bashing. Generalizations often lead to misunderstandings.
How do you describe our system overall? How do you define socialism? How
do you define fascism? How do you define capitalism? Maybe we should
start with those. If you're interested in discussing it.
> Sadly, those very people are more grateful for the US than most people living
> in it today...
Where do you get that assumption? Any statistics behind it? That's a
large and sad accusation to level against the majority of your fellow
citizens.
> And, from me, my father (highly decorated WW2 and Korean War vet), and my

So as you stand by our nation along with veterans related to you, me and
everyone here, I have to think you don't really mean to put down the
majority of our citizens with generalized, condescending remarks. I
can't believe you really think we're a nation of mostly ignorant
ingrates or Nazi wannabes.
I can understand how you might think badly of your fellow countrymen on
some days, given the way veterans have been treated here. At times our
treatment of veterans has been shameful. We have not always done right
by veterans, and that's a big issue.
But I think it goes too far to believe that anyone who disagrees with an
assertion is automatically A) unpatriotic or B) unappreciative of the
sacrifice of everyone who has put their lives and passion on the line so
we may have the opportunity to participate in and help improve our
country today.
In fact, a lot of folks are putting their own lives and passion on the
line today, in many ways. Good people working to participate and help
improve our country. And even if they happen to disagree with you or me
on some issues, they have that right. Veterans and non-veterans alike.

Thanks. Have a peaceful weekend.
Cheers,
-Jamie

Yes they do say there is a money back guarantee. I haven't seen what the
conditions are, but they do say you can't have your money back just because
"I'm out of cash at the moment" type of thing, so obviously your reason would
have to be related to their service, and fair and valid.
In that respect I guess it is worth a try in any case. Pay up, submit a few
tracks and see what happens. Worst case it will only cost the song submission
amount and (I assume) the portion of the year that you were a member, so
maybe $100 all up.
So I assume they tell you when they submit something, and also tell you why
they have or have not submitted a particular tune?
Cheers,
Kim.

I've only heard they haven't so far :-)
I would assume they let you know the other way.
Theydon't give feedback iunless the listing says it includes critiques.

>Hey Kim! A few people I know tried it and they got no where with it. They
thought the critiques were not vary good. They seemed to think it was a
bit of a rip off.
When I lived in L.A. I was part of the A&R community. I was a scout. That
is basically an unpaid internship. I was actually on a different level than
a scout in that I hung out with managers, and executives. I could put the
stuff right in to their hands personally. The top A&R people didn't think
much of TAXI. They kind of thought it was kind of a money making scam, and
a bit of a joke.
I personally never heard of anybody getting a major deal that was worth a
shit out of it. It's not that hard to get a (bad) record deal, it's vary
hard to get a good record deal. That was some years ago, so things may have
changed. If your just using it to try to sell your songs it might be worth
it but I think you can do it on your own.
If you go with it, let us know what you think.
Good luck!

What I like is he actually takes positions that stand up on their own 2
feet, compared to most politicians whose main position is "Vote for me
because that guy is bad."
Ron Paul has some very original ideas and I REALLY like to hear someone
in government with the cojones to think think for himself, especially
with such creative, intelligent ideas.

browser trick that might be alluding you, but if it's a case of the folders
appearing to be empty, you could try removing the prefs (I think they are
still under the user application data folder for Cubase - they were just xml
files in previous versions - moving them and restarting Cubase would often
clear up any corruptions and get you back up and running easily - even after
putting some of the prefs, such as workspaces/layouts, key commands, etc
back).
With 2), just go to the left (I think) of the VSTi insert in the rack and
there is a small icon with a dropdown menu to select which outputs you want
to activate. The default is a single stereo out, but you can now
enable/disable only the outs you want on any VSTi rather than littering the
mixer with every available out.

The Cold War is not over! It's the communist that are keeping it all going.
Russia and China have been building up arms for years now! It is them that

I agree that it's best to have good relations with countries around us.
I agree that we can influence countries around us for the better. But
the best course of action and the best way to measure results are both
up for discussion.
I disagree if you think "love it or leave it" is a substantive political
argument in our United States of America. It's not.

Try importing it as a mono file [not stereo].I agree that our country needs a lot of improvement. LaMont was asking what
was wrong with communism. It was a bated question. I think Aarons point
was, if you think communism is so great go live it.

Indeed. That sheepish parable is all over the blogs. Seems to be a
neocon thing?
But bovids are not necessarily what condescending hominid bloggers might
think. In Colorado, bighorn sheep are ready to leave you in the dust, go
where you can't go, and if necessary, cause a world of hurt. Even if you
fancy yourself a canidae.
I remember my uncle who served with a big heart, courage and humility in
WWII. Without, AFAIK, considering his fellow citizens to be anything
less than fellow citizens.

I'm currently comfortable mixing using a mouse, with no control surface
needed. I can be very precise that way, and Logic is already
configurable to group and show channels onscreen as I like. So I
vacillate on whether a control surface would be a worthwhile improvement.
The MC looks interesting, if you get one I'll have to come check it out.
Multi-touch interface ideas are flashy and intriguing. Maybe even moreso
for graphics work than audio. The demos look like fun!

I dunno, I've spent a fair bit of my life practicing how to use bash and

Also, this is yet another attempt to make a computer act unlike a computer.
It's not going to make mistakes, need updates, recognize things incorrectly,

But, thats just me.

I for one don't want such open borders or calling a dictator a hero to
encourage another on soil attack, nor do I want to have to learn another
language because we get over run by illegal aliens and they won't speak the
native tongue, learn the 'house' rules in this country, or put out the

Anti-Americanism brews in Mexico?
May 30: Is the booing of Miss USA at the Miss Universe pageant a sign that
anti-Americanism is brewing in Mexico?
Basically, she fell and it was news, and they booed her onstage mightily at
another juncture for being from the USA. I thought it was pretty lousy of
'em, but I know mexicans that are sick of mexicans so I'm thinking the
latter were making up the crowd that night. Personally, I'm getting pretty
fed up with crap like that and the upside down American Flag under a mexican
flag incident (at a high school no less).

I'm just saying that I think your the one that is brainwashed by the liberal

Go read up on what is going on in Venezuela, the people are not happy that
they are being oppressed by a communist dictator. People are being shot
down there.
Communism flourishing in our hemisphere is a threat to our national security.

sd.com/20070530/d5-gates-jobs-interview/But the high end places already have things the smaller studios don't, like
SSL/Neve desks, big fancy monitors, vintage mics and instruments, hot secretaries,
coke dealers on speed dial, and so forth. But they're still getting their
clocks cleaned.
I'm wrong a lot, I thought the Colts were nuts for passing on Ryan Leaf (no,
really, I did), but I wouldn't bet a dime on the Surface getting traction
in the market.
