How to Convert MTS/Mod/Tod to AVI/3GP/WMV/FLV/MP4/MPG etc

bluelakewater - Tue Feb 09, 2010 9:53 am

Do you know MTS?
MTS is High-definition MPEG Transport Stream video format, commonly called "AVCHD", used by Sony, Panasonic, and other HD camcorders and based on the MPEG-2 transport stream. MTS file supports 720p and 1080i HD video formats.
And AVCHD stands for "Advanced Video Codec High Definition". This format was jointly established by both Panasonic and Sony in 2006.

Scales, Who needs them?

guitarwebnews - Wed Nov 25, 2009 11:32 am

Somewhere along the way in our development as guitar players, we start to get the idea that it would be a good idea if we learned some of those things called scales. If we are new to the guitar, and new to music, we are probably not even quite sure exactly what a scale actually is, which certainly adds to the aura of mystery that begins to surround the subject.

The next thing that happens, as we continue along in our development, is that we begin to get the unsettling impression that there seems to be an awful lot of those things called scales. In fact, there seems to be hundreds of them. W...

Low Flute

Mr Jepps Se - Tue May 26, 2009 10:50 pm

I once bought myself a Low Flute, also known as a Low D Whistle. It was amazing for me. I fell in love with the enchanting warm embrace of its low and powerful notes. Unfortunately I left it to my ex girlfriend kind of by mistake. It still resides in an old stone Italian trullo in south Puglia.

But, I found a shop locally to me that is selling them. Well its got one in stock so I reserved it. The one I reserved incidently is also tuneable.

They cost about £70 or about $140.

I've saved my pennies and now can get back in touch with one once more. I am very excited and looking forward to...







Please share your experiences with guitar lessons

John Freiberg - Wed May 06, 2009 12:59 am

Hi all

I am conducting some general research into guitar lessons and am very interested to hear from anyone who has had formal lessons with a teacher, be it privately or at an institution or university.

If anyone could take the time to address some questions that would be great:

What did you like about your lessons?
What did you dislike about your lessons?
What was the frequency and duration of your lessons?
Why did you stop?
How long did you have lessons with that particular teacher?
Any other comments welcome....

Thanks







quality guitars under $500

mcoon - Mon Mar 23, 2009 6:22 pm

I dont want to break any rules or spam, but I recently became aware of a line of guitars and basses that are inexpensive but good. It was a referral from a local playing buddy of mine and I looked into it myself. I spoke to the dealer and he said he would give me a small commission if I sent anyone to him through my studio website. Not a big deal, just being honest.

My thought was this would be perfect for a guitar player that needs an inexpensive bass to lay down bass tracks (or vice versa). And maybe someone would like odd ball stuff like a mandolin or a lap steel and dont want to spe...







Jam Tracks [www.JamTracksForGuitar.com]

omgurry - Mon Mar 23, 2009 2:11 pm

Hi,
I have recently started a website with jam tracks for guitarists and thought the regulars on this forum might be interested in taking a look.

You can find it at www.JamTracksForGuitar.com

I currently have collections dedicated to the modes of the major scale, odd time signatures, drums-only jam tracks and metal/hard rock riffs - all in various modern styles and broadcast quality production.

Let me know what you think. I am also taking video submissions of guitarist (or any other instrumentalist for that matter) jamming along to the tracks to feature on the site and my YouTube cha...

2 type- retrograde

BMV - Sat Feb 07, 2009 8:24 pm

hi.
i'm using FL studio 8 (PC audio/midi sequencer). in its piano roll, there is an option called (flip); to flip a melody horizontally (retrograde), or vertically (inversion), so far so good.

But the question is: there is an option under (retrograde) pointing to (preserve start times) which, as a result, doesn't provide an exact mirror of the original melody. So, is there two type of retrograde; with/without (preserving start times)?

P.S. the above 2 type- retrograde option is seen in many other sequencers too, like (Magix).







New Releases From Heads Up: Including The Bad Plus and Incog

The Bad Plus

Alt-Rock Vocalist Wendy Lewis Joins The Progressive Jazz Trio On For All I Care

For the better part of a decade, the progressive jazz trio known as The Bad Plus have been stirring up a musical stew that defies easy description. Drawing on sources as diverse as classical, jazz, rock, pop and beyond, they have created a singular aesthetic that forces even the most skeptical listener to rethink the commonly held notions of what differentiates one style of music from another.
