Holy Hell
The gnx4 came about a week ago and I must say it is everything I expected and more. Just been having a blast with it. I've been creating/importing patches, solved the asio issue and am able to record hands free into sonar now. I am currently going over this tutorial.

I have session drummer inside sonar but no midi keyboard yet. This tutorial looked like a quick way to build some extra drum tracks. Is it possible to use the .cwp file shown in this video into Sonar and/or are there other .cwp files available?
Note to self....save cash for MFX discs

Sadly, I'm still quite feeble with my Pro Tracks Plus...still trying to get familiar enough to be able to record and set up drum tracks. But, being a complex piece o' gear, no one said I'd master it in a day....have fun!
under neath the gass lamp......
I guess I answered my own question above. Any .cwp file will work in Sonar. pfft...*pounds nail in head* Pretty stoked with the purchase and just glad there are alot of like minded peeps on a site as good as this.
Mustaine for Pres \\m/
Tool is pretty kick!! So is Disturbed ! We can probably thank some of those guys for bringing real guitar works back into the limelight, and killing off the one finger power chords that all these others were doing. I like A 7 Fold too.. not the singer, but the dualing guitars is nice to hear again.
At least there's no MTV to ruin metal by playing the same redundant metal ballads and call it HBB !!

Not to start a flame or anything but I couldn't get enough early Metallica. Absolutely loved the stuff. Then some crazed Megadeth fan at the bindery where I worked as a kid had Peace Sells blaring through a boom box. After sitting down with that album I was immediately left with a feeling of being inept. Dave would use 6 or more killer hooks where you might only hear 1 or 2 on most metal songs. Great time sigs fast and tight, they crushed. It's good to see Dave still writing. Saw Opeth at Gigantour. Good stuff.
Long live Metal
But there are many good modern metal bands
Dragonforce
Kamelot

Im not sure about the album but I know they wrote the son \"Passanger\" featuring Deftones to a mathematical equation.
In a sense we all write songs to an equation - scales etc have a very mathematical basis.
Do you mean that they used an equation to write everything in that song?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number
MC Paul Barman structured the rhymes in his song \"Enter Pan-Man\" according to the fibonacci sequence. [2]
Dr. Steel released a song titled \"Fibonacci Sequence\" in 2005.
BT (Brian Transeau) released a dance track in 2000, entitled the \"Fibonacci Sequence,\" which features a sample of a reading of the sequence. He also used the Fibonacci Sequence as a compositional structure in his album This Binary Universe (2006).
Tool's song \"Lateralus\" from the album of the same name features the fibonacci sequence symbolically in the verses of the song. The syllables in the first verse count 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3, 13, 8, 5, 3. Similarly, on Tool's 10,000 Days album there has already been speculation to more fibonacci references embedded within the album.
The ratios of justly tuned octave, fifth, and major and minor sixths are ratios of consecutive numbers of the Fibonacci sequence
Ernő Lendvai (1971) analyzes Béla Bartók's works as being based on two opposing systems, that of the golden ratio and the acoustic scale. In Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste the xylophone progression occurs at the intervals 1:2:3:5:8:5:3:2:1.[7]
French composer Erik Satie used the golden ratio in several of his pieces, including Sonneries de la Rose+Croix. His use of the ratio gave his music an otherworldly symmetry.
The Fibonacci numbers are also apparent in the organisation of the sections in the music of Debussy's Image, Reflections in Water, in which the sequence of keys is marked out by the intervals 34, 21, 13 and 8.
An equation contains variables - which you substitute numbers for - and it always is true.
eg
x=y^2 - 42y + 10
series
1,3,5,7,9 etc
2,4,16,256 etc
Thats not really writing a song to maths, fibonacci numbers occur heaps in nature, and they are just dealing with the number of syllables - thats not reallly writing a song, its just structuring it.
So when someone writes their lyrics to maths, tell me :P
\"ABC, easy as 123\" sounds like algebra to me.
As one mathematician said: \"If you torture numbers enough they will confess to anything\"
What he was saying is that you can find mathematical basises for everything, but its not necessary.
Example1:
Mathematics emulating a great musical performance...
In this instance a robot programmed to perform the sax solo in John Coltrane's immortal \"Giant Steps\"
Yes...Time and scalular intervals can be expressed mathematically and made to mimic a great musical performance, along with enough engineering.. 8) ..
Example 2:
Mathematics combined with creativity to create something new, beautiful, and original..
Programmer sat down. Developed the instrument and the mathematical funcitions to create...NOT MIMIC.. 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) ..
Sort of like the difference between Zeppelin performing \"Whole Lotta Love\" and a good Zep Cover band performing the same piece...
Creativity VS. Mimicry...
The major exception to the above is music that occurred before the days of recordings. No one knows exactly how Bach played \"Prelude in D Minor\" so these type pieces are subject to interpretation rather than mimicry.
If you're in a Skynard Cover Band, and you decide to interpret \"Free Bird\" with a swing, type \"Benny Goodman\" feel, the bikers you are playing for may not appreciate your interpretation and demand mimicry..
Quirky enough???
I saw this somewere just not sure were? I think it said something like this: Math is to the mind. what Music is to the Soul I thought that was pretty darn cool!!
God Bless!!
