If you want any Audio Hijack advice, I may be able to help. It's the app i use and i love it, especially the useful FX like gain doubler and the graphic eq etc. Watch your input levels as digital don't like going into the red hardly at all. If what your getting is distorted it sounds like something is getting too much signal somewhere down the line. Good luck. Now to read the rest.<BR/>Jonjonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995957960962942674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-56246395939639824132007-11-07T15:07:00.000-05:002007-11-07T15:07:00.000-05:00i hear you, T... thanks for commenting!i hear you, T... thanks for commenting!Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-56759554775819238242007-11-07T14:48:00.000-05:002007-11-07T14:48:00.000-05:00Man, keep on posting, there is a whole generation ...Man, keep on posting, there is a whole generation of music history that might be lost otherwise.

How else will we be able to support these artists if we are not exposed to their music. Oh, I know, the majors think that we really want to spend a month's rent on Hanna Montana tickets or (God forbid) the new Britney Spears EP... RIGHT! At least the online outlets do offer a bit of variety, and let's not forget the mighty eMusic service to which I've been a faithful subscriber for the past four years. If not for them, I wouldn't have nearly as many CDs as I do, so they will always get my support and a monthly debit of 25 bucks. See, I DO support GOOD artistes (a message to the powers that be)...<BR/><BR/>Keep on fighting the good fight; someone out there will pick up on what you're putting down and support the artistes that you feature. I look at my blog stats daily and almost always see that someone has clicked one of my many links to Amazon, etc., and more than likely purchased a CD or a download or two. Essentially what we're doing is offering free advertising, doing the job for those who are too lazy to do it for the artistes anyway. Hell, we should get a cut from the majors for that, but since we truly love the music that we post, we're showing that we CARE about them a hell of a lot more than they do. I hope that I made a valid point that makes sense, because I vehemently stress that there is more music out there than the disposable pop music that basically sells itself, and that music deserves just as much promotion from and by any means necessary so that those artistes can afford to pay their rent and put food on their table.<BR/><BR/>On a lighter note, I am also looking forward to those Soundways comps. They look fantastic!<BR/><BR/>Peace and blessings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-51079392901503921142007-11-05T13:23:00.000-05:002007-11-05T13:23:00.000-05:00damn.that is a seriously hardcore compilation, man...damn.<BR/><BR/>that is a seriously hardcore compilation, man!<BR/><BR/>February can't get here fast enough!<BR/><BR/>much props to Miles and the crew!Comb & Razorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912912211584098914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-86680661127402477062007-11-05T13:18:00.000-05:002007-11-05T13:18:00.000-05:00Heres the tracklisting:CD101 Ayamma - Anambra Beat...Heres the tracklisting:<BR/>CD1<BR/>01 Ayamma - Anambra Beats<BR/>02 Okwukwe Na Nchekwube- Celestine Ukwu & His Philosophers National<BR/>03 Amalinja - The Don Isaac Ezekiel Combination<BR/>04 Akula Owu Onyeara - The Funkees<BR/>05 Oja Omoba - Dele Ojo & His Star Brothers Band<BR/>06 Koma Mosi- The Harbours Band<BR/>07 Nekwaha Semi Colon - The Semi Colon<BR/>08 Osalobua Rekpama - Sir Victor Uwaifo & His Melody Maestros<BR/>09 Onwu Ama Dike - St. Augustine & His Rovers Dance Band<BR/>10 Feso Jaiye - The Sahara All Stars of Jos<BR/>11 Ema Kowa Iasa Ile Wa - Mono Mono<BR/>12 To Whom It May Concern - Tunji Oyelana & The Benders<BR/>13 Ugali - The Tony Benson Sextet<BR/>CD2<BR/>01 Asiko Mi Ni - The Nigerian Police Force Band (“The Force 7" )<BR/>02 Torri Wowo - Godwin Ezike & The Ambassadors<BR/>03 Belema - Opotopo (Easy Kabaka Brown)<BR/>04 Alabeke - Dan Satch & His Atomic 8 Dance Band of Aba<BR/>05 Arraino - Popular Cooper & His All Beats Band<BR/>06 Simini-Yaya - Collins Oke Elaiho & His Odoligie Nobles Dance Band<BR/>07 Buroda Mase - Bola Johnson & His Easy Life Top Beats<BR/>08 I Want A Break Thru’ - The Hykkers<BR/>09 Business Before Pleasure-George Akaeze & His Augmented Hits<BR/>10 Omo Yen Wu Mi - Shadow Abraham with Mono Mono Friends<BR/>11 Blak Sound - Leo Fadaka & The Heroes<BR/>12 Eguae Oba - Osayomore Joseph & The Creative 7<BR/>13 Akpaisong - Etubom Rex Williams & His Nigerian ArtistesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-48331591627414244522007-11-05T02:45:00.000-05:002007-11-05T02:45:00.000-05:00Nigeria Special is Feb 10, 2008 and the rest to fo...Nigeria Special is Feb 10, 2008 and the rest to follow during 2008 I expect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26746300.post-33480251130411510712007-11-04T16:51:00.000-05:002007-11-04T16:51:00.000-05:00wow! well, i'm certainly looking forward to that!i...wow! well, i'm certainly looking forward to that!<BR/><BR/>i remember reading about the Nigeria Special on your page way back in...
