<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Hey guys!<br /> <br /> So, do you like the name of the project, "If Humans Could Fly"? Do you love the music of this project soo much that you would sport a signature wrist band to show your adoration? Or maybe just wear it with your OWN emphasis on the renown question and give to a Charity in Albany Ga??<br /><br /> Well for any of those questions you find yourself saying "Sure", then in August you will be able to purchase a custom "If Humans Could Fly" silicone wrist band for only $2!! <br /><br /> And here's how it is going to work for charity. I will choose a Homeless Shelter here in Albany, Georgia to donate 70% of all profits toward the organization. The last 30% will be put wholely towards producing more bands, more variety and in all sizes!! <br /><br />Here's what you'll be getting:<br /><br />* A custom "If Humans Could Fly" silicone wrist band (like the LIVESTRONG band) <br />* A letter from me and from the administrator of the Homeless shelter thanking you for your purchase<br /><br />Just for $2! And as far as how much of $2 will go to the Shelter? The exact amount PER wrist band purchased that will be going to the shelter is $1.50. The remaining .50 will be taken for reproduction of the wristbands.<br /><br />If you are intrested, please email me personally at </span><a href="mailto:ifhumanscouldfly@ymail.com"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">ifhumanscouldfly@ymail.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;"> or just run your mouse over the links on my page to get the email addresses for your choice of email service.<br /><br />You'll be doing a great thing for humanity. And if giving back to the community is part of something that you would like to wear on your wrist everyday, then lets do it! =D<br /><br />Cordially,<br />Amanda M. Powell<br />If Humans Could Fly</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Re: INSIDE BASEBALL </span></p><p><span style="font-size: xx-small;">[First "no" obviously that is not my pic. Second I am a serious GH fan both as a musician and a person. Third if you did not know that was George Harrison - or worse you do not know who George Harrision is, do not proceed any further. Do not collect $200. Although odds are you will not understand that either probably. <img src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" title="Cool" />]</span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">Anyway:</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have been PM'd by people asking about gear / equipment. I will try to answer as best I am able. I am answering based on recording gear.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have a handful of guitars. My primary instruments are an early 2000's Fender Telecaster (USA), an early 2000's Ibanez baby-Benson, a late 1960's Martin D35-12, a late 1970's Guild G-12, and a 2008 Takamine auditorium 6.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I primarily use a Vox Tone Lab SE (the original old blue one) and a Line 6 POD (vers. 2). I DI the electrics normally, and I mic the acoustics. (See mics below)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I also use a fairly well beaten-up old Les Paul Junior (Melody Maker). I have a Seymour Duncan hybrid split rail on it. It also has a Roland GK3 (midi) p/up. I run the midi through the Roland GR-20 and a Korg Triton Rack.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have a handful of basses. My primary bass is a late 1990's 8-string Washburn Custom Shop. It plays like a 12 string guitar. It has active Bartolinis with a J-MM set up. <span style="font-size: x-small;">The name of my 8-string Washburn is "Kelvin." [It is absolute coolness. If you do not get it, google Kelvin.]</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">My other daily play is a late 1980's fretless (solid bubinga) Warwick Corvette.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I normally DI the bass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I use an early 1980's (pre-Gibson) valve driven "Chrome" Trace Elliot pre / DI. It has 12 band graphic, Trace modelling, adjustable cross-over, stereo out. I have it serviced at British Audio Service in Chicago. It is an unbelievable pre / DI. [I also have an Ampeg SVP / BSP DI. I don't use it much because I like the Trace so much better. I like a cleaner sound than I can get out of the Ampeg.] I use a Focusrite Compounder as my stereo compressor for the bass.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">If I am going to live mic the bass I use a David Eden (115H) cabinet driven by a pre-Gibson early 1980's Trace Elliot SM7 head, or a late 1960's Vox Essex, or a small GK (110) combo.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I have a Yamaha digital piano. Although it has midi I/O, it has no pads. It is a dedicated piano although I use it to trigger the GR-20 and the Korg Triton Rack.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">For mics on the acoustics I normally use a Rode NT4, an older AKG C-4000-B, and a matched pair of SM81's. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">For voices we have been using a KSM44 or a Rode NTK. For pres I have been using a Focusrite strip, a Joe Meek (3Q) and some PreSonus boxes.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">For outboard EQ I have a stereo matched pair of 1970's era UREI 23 band graphic EQ's. I also use an older 23 band parametric EQ made by White Audio Labs (Austin TX).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">For ADA I use MOTU thru a 426 PCIx card. (This is far faster than firewire and it has less load on the PC.) I use a dual Xeon IBM - 2 x 2.6ghz P4's).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I use Nuendo 4 / Cubase 5. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">For monitors I use Yamaha NS-10M's. I also use a pair of 1970's era Klipsch Heresey's. I drive both sets by older Crown DC-60's.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">I use ATH-M50's for primary headphones.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hopefully this helps answer your questions. [Goodness I hope so. <img src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" title="Cool" />]</span></p>
This is a Demo Mix of a New track Ive been working on. The intro was originally a Prelude I had done some time ago untill dun dun dun dun! the dreaded hard drive dump :0( I managed to recover most of it except for the Soft synth used in it so I readpted it to become the Intro for this track original called Inner Demons(Collide)! Which is why you have this ridicuously long Title lol! Happy Lisitening!

<p><span style="font-family: mceinline; color: #333333; font-size: small;"></span></p><p>Thank you to all who voted in the Talent Trove/Mike Kelly Guitar Solo Contest. The results are in. I am proud to announce that out of 115 guitarists, I came in 3rd place with 421 votes with my song "Blistered Digits" and only missed second place by less than 10 votes. Again thanks from the bottom of my heart to my Mixposure family who went through the ardous trouble of voting for me.)</p><p> </p><p>It really meant a lot. 3rd place was far more than I had hoped for ! - Rock on my friends - Bilbozo</p>
